I found something in the Ultimaker site called "Ultimaker Personal" which looks interesting, just not sure how to activate it or how to share printers in my account with other Personal users. Can anyone explain how this is supposed to work?
Detailed subscription overview – Ultimaker Support
Ultimaker Personal
Individuals or home users will unlock the features of the Personal plan by simply connecting an Ultimaker printer to the Ultimaker Digital Factory.
Users can gain access to the full Ultimaker Personal offering by having an Ultimaker printer sync'd, or shared to their Ultimaker Account.
Users on a Personal plan have access to the Digital Library with personal use features. The Digital Library will be limited to 5 private projects.
Sharing printers and forming teams is possible with other Ultimaker Personal users. You cannot share and form teams with users that are on an organizational subscription (Essentials, Professional or Excellence).

hi @Desprinzla,
It seems like you have only uploaded non-printable files like STL and 3MF. In order to print a file directly from the library, it must be a printable format like G-Code or UFP. You can generate these using Ultimaker Cura and upload them to the library, or use the direct integration of Ultimaker Cura 4.9 with the library (currently available for everyone with a subscription, but soon also available for everyone with at least 1 connected Ultimaker printer). Once you have uploaded such files a print button will appear (see attached image).

Hi @jkcz,
Activating Ultimaker Personal is very easy! All you need to do is have at least one compatible Ultimaker printer (Ultimaker 3, S3, S5 or 2+ Connect) linked to your account in the Digital Factory. You can do this by clicking the "add printer" button in Digital Factory and follow the on-screen steps. Once you have done that, options like printer sharing (via teams) and the library become available automatically. If you don't have an Ultimaker printer yourself, but for example a friend has, they can also share this printer with you via a team (using an email invitation), and once you accept that invitation the features become available as well.
Hope this helps!
Chris

Hi @Desprinzla, thank you for your message. And thanks, we think you are nice too! 🙂
On this website (at the bottom) you can compare different software plans and you can see that you can use the digital library for free for up to 5 projects, with 20 files per project. Hope this helps and is enough to get you started! Good luck!
