· Original Ultimaker - How to contol?
The Ultimaker originally came without a controller, and for a period the controller was sold as an optional accessory for the Ultimaker (before it was even called the Ultimaker Original). It would typically be connected and controlled via USB.
Changing filament can be done by preheating the extruder (on the Monitor tab in Cura), then opening the extruder on the printer and gently pulling out the material. You can then replace the spool, and feed new material in.
Another good option to check out is using OctoPrint, which integrates well into Cura by using a plugin from the Marketplace.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
