Staring the print

To start a print on the Ultimaker 2+ you will first need an SD card to upload your files to the printer. These can be requested from the front desk after you sign out a printer. For the Ultimaker 2+ the slicer to use is Cura. Once you have your model sliced in Cura, insert the SD card into your computer. This should add the option to "save to removable disk" ad the bottom left of Cura. Once your file is on the SD card go to the printer and insert the card. If the machine is on, rotate the dial until "print" is highlighted, then push the dial in. This will open the SD card and from this menu you can choose your file. To chose, press the dial in again and the printer will heat up and start printing.
