I have hence been looking for a way to print through USB, well, serial port connection. It is annoying when you are going through the itarative prototyping cycle, especially for press-fit pieces or optical bench parts where precision is the key. It gets tiring to keep working in a vicious cycle of unplugging the SD card from the printer port, plugging it in a card reader, saving the Gcode from Cura in there, unplugging the SD card from the card reader and finally plugging it back into the 3D printer. Note: Making modifications to the printer and changing machine settings is always done at your own risk.I have been using the Ultimaker 2 3D printer for a while now, printing from the SD card. Or, if you want to change the behavior of the printer at the start and/or end of each print job, you can alter the start and end gcode from this menu. If you have made customizations to your printer, you can change the printer, print head, or extruder settings. Installing custom firmware is always at your own risk.įrom the Printers menu in the Preferences overview, you can also view your machine settings.

More information on how to adjust the build plate position is found on this page. The next screen will guide you through the bed leveling process. If you have installed a heated build plate (from the Heated Bed Upgrade Kit, or a self-built one), check the box. On the next screen, you are asked to select upgrades. This can be useful if you have multiple printers with specific setups. The printer name will default to Ultimaker Original, but you can also give it a different name. An Original with heated bed upgrade is not the same as the Ultimaker Original+.Īfter selecting a printer, you can give it a name. The Original+ is a different printer type. If your Ultimaker Original has a Dual Extrusion upgrade, select this option.
If you have the standard Ultimaker Original, or an Original with a heated bed upgrade. Make sure to select the correct printer type: Ultimaker Original
In the next screen, select Add a non-networked printer and from the list under Ultimaker B.V., select the Ultimaker Original. If you want to add a new printer to an existing installation of Cura, open the Printers panel and click Add printer. If you install and open Ultimaker Cura for the first time, selecting your printer is part of the first-run process. This is useful for leveling the build plate and updating the firmware. This will allow Cura to communicate with the printer. Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Ultimaker Original to a computer or laptop.
