1. "Printers":
Connect your Ultimaker 3D printers. This section displays a record of printers previously paired with your Ultimaker account. You can share any Ultimaker 3D printer using the "Team" function.
(Select the Ultimaker 3D printer you want to connect.)
Before adding an Ultimaker 3D printer group, ensure the device is powered on, connected to the internet, and the IP address is entered to begin the connection.
2. "Teams":
Manage your Ultimaker 3D printers. After creating a team, you can invite other users with Ultimaker accounts to join. The Teams interface will display all team members.
The first time you connect your Ultimaker 3D printer to Ultimaker Cloud, you must use Wi-Fi or a network connection; the firmware for Ultimaker S5 or Ultimaker 3 3D printers needs to be updated to 5.2.8 or higher, and Ultimaker Cura needs to be updated to 4.0 or higher.
1. Add your network-connected Ultimaker 3D printer to Ultimaker Cura.
2. Log in to Ultimaker Cura using your Ultimaker account.
(Method 1) Using Ultimaker Cura
(After adding an Ultimaker 3D printer in Ultimaker Cura, a blue checkmark will appear in the menu.)
Log in to your Ultimaker account in the top right corner of Ultimaker Cura (you can also create a new account here if you don't have one).
Ultimaker Cura will automatically detect the Ultimaker 3D printer in the cloud, and a notification window will appear in the interface. Select "Get Start" to begin connecting to Ultimaker Cloud.
(Method 2) Using Ultimaker Connect
1. Enter Ultimaker Cura's Monitor mode and connect using Ultimaker Connect.
2. Click on "Go to Ultimaker Connect."

4. Click "Connect" to link with Ultimaker Cloud.
1. Log in with your Ultimaker account.
2. Click "Allow" to grant Ultimaker Connect and Ultimaker Cloud permission to read and exchange data within the interface.
3. Enter the security verification PIN displayed on your Ultimaker 3D printer's touchscreen.
4. Open Ultimaker Cura to establish the connection.
After confirming a successful connection, Ultimaker Cura will display a notification, allowing you to start remotely monitoring and setting up 3D printing jobs.
