How to connect your 3D Printer to 3DPrinterOS

Updated 1 year ago by Andrew

If you've already installed the 3DPrinterOS Client and connected your 3D Printer, it will appear on the Printers Page automatically

Go to the Printers page
Click Add Printer
Select your 3D Printer's Model from the list
You can add multiple 3D Printers at once
Click Add Printers & the Waiting for connection list will appear.
You may use different approaches to connect your 3D Printer:
1. The majority of the 3D printers are connected through the 3DPrinterOS Client – separate software is available for different operating systems

  2. Or you can just download and install it on Windows or Ubuntu. We have a release version for Mac OS (Development and Stable client) too, but it could not work for the latest Mac OS version.
  3. If you have Mac or custom hardware with a custom OS – you can use 3DPrinterOS Client ZIP archive
2. Native integration – just entering the access code from the printer's screen
