Printing a File Through a USB

It may be more ideal to use a flash drive to print files. In that case, the steps below will show how to save the file from the Cura slicer to a USB device and then print the file using the USB device.

 

  1.  Ensure that the stl file is correctly displayed on the Cura slicer and ready for printing. (Refer to the Loading STL in Cura video for more information)
  2.  Save the file to the removable device seen on the bottom right corner of the screen
  3.  Ensure that the file is saved as an Ultimaker Format Package (.ufp) file on the USB device
  4.  Insert the USB on to the Ultimaker S5 and select the print from the touch screen (leave the USB in the printer for the entire duration of the print)
