Posted · Remote control my Ultimaker

I was faced with the problem of having to do a lot of long and large prints, and no way to see what is happening when I am at work.

so after some searching I found a great way to remotely watch and control my Ultimaker from anywhere.

first I came across the Splashtop 2 app, which I could install on all my macs, iPad and iPhone, this gave me the ability to watch and control the mac attached to my Ultimaker, and see what Cura is doing.

with the added CamCam app from splashtop, I could use any regular webcam as an online cam, and could watch what was happening, and see when the print was finished :)

the setup is very easy, and works very good :)

the only drawback is that to use Splashtop 2 anywhere it costs a monthly fee $1,79 :/

when I am at home I use Remote Desktop to control the mac upstairs, and I can sit comfortable on my couch.

maybe I will find a free solution, or you might know a better way, but for now this will do nicely.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
