Just got myself a 3D printer over the holidays. Installed Cura. Program seems awesome but for some reason when the print button is not at the top for me to print. Instead it just wants me to save the file I am working on. I have my printer hooked up to my laptop. Not sure what do to. I have looked into the manual but there is not any troubleshooting section on this. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

    Hi, Apple_Jax,

    What model printer do you have? USB printing isn't supported for most models of Ultimaker printers. The Ultimaker 2 series machines are all intended to print via the SD card; the Ultimaker 3 series can print via the USB stick, or print in Cura over wifi.

    Also, what version of Cura are you printing with?

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
