Unable to connect to Tina2S using Cura 5.6

Hi, 

 

Fairly new to 3D printing but good technical background.  I've installed Cura 5.6 and I really like the software. The problem is that it cannot find my Entina Tina2S printer. The printer is online and the IP address is pingable. I can use the Poloprint cloud app or the Wiibulider2 app to print to it fine.

 

I can however see the Entina Tina2S printer available as a non-network printer, so I can add it that way, add my model, slice it, and then import it into Wiibuilder and print that way.  Is that how it's supposed to work? I can't directly print using Cura, but can only use it to edit the models?

 

Thanks.

I don't know if Cura natively supports any printers not made by UltiMaker over WiFi as there's no standard protocol they use. There are plugins for some network systems like OctoPrint (which just remotely controls printers connected to it over USB) but none that I'm aware of that add support for specific manufacturers or printers.

Yeah, I figured out how it all works.  I've been using Octoprint now to send print jobs and it's been fantastic.
