As a beginner for 3d printing this video help me by so much! Thank you for being simple and straight forward I couldn’t have asked for a better tutorial thank you!😁
Thanks...very clear and concise. I was connected and printing as soon as you told me I would have the option to print over USB or Save!!!! Keep up the great work.
Cura doesn't seem to recognize the printer on my mac. Also, when I leave the usb plugged in while the printer's off, then I turn it on, it sounds like a car alarm coming from the board.
i have the same issue ... if you find out the solution help me with that ,, best regards
@@ahmedaljohaniycat1798 the car alarm noise happens when something is going wrong and you need to unplug the printer fast
Thank you so much ! I needed to start printing some facial protectors for my Hospital ( Spain ) and my SD card reader was not working.
Lemme guess.. they didn't take them because there was no way to prove they were printed in a sterile environment? Or is Spain hurting that bad? Lol. "Sure, we will take these potentially covid-infected items and strap them to our faces!"🤣🤣🤣
Hey! I have plugged in my printer to my computer but cura is telling me to connect my printer still? Have I missed something? Thanks.

how did you get the printer to show up? When I go to Monitor tab - it shows nothing
I might be late, but someone will find it useful since he didn't mention about driver, install the driver from here, worked for my ender 3 v2.

I know it’s been 4 years but THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH MY TF CARD READER BROKE SO I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO AND DID IT OVER USB THANK YOU!
I want to save the file on the sd that is in the printer. I do not want to plug and unplug the sd card but I do not want to leave my computer on also.
Hey man thanks for sharing this video I had already figured out how to print successfully from the test prints and with your help I am now currently printing something from my laptop it is awesome thank you so much and 3D print until you run out of filament

I teach middle school SmartLab and I am new to 3D printers but have wanted to learn for a time now. I did all the steps but could not figure out how to print USB your video was very detailed thank you.
Dude thank you so much I wish I looked at this video right away
You deserve a sub
we use ender 3 pro and cura. With the use of a USB cable, we connect ender 3 pro to PC. But in cura that is not connected. what is the extra setting we gonna do for this?
Thank you for this video. I set up my Ender 5 Pro and used Creality Slicer 4.8. Your video taught me how to install and use everything. Thank You!
Thanks Bro!!! I could not find how to do it with the Crealty Slicer Software, but now I finally did it with the Ultimaker Cura. Nice tutorial!!!
coming from matter control i am disappointed there is no real time print monitoring in cura.. in matter control you can see it printing layer by layer via usb.. i dont want to change sd cards all the time though wish there was a way to save to sd while its in the control box already
Hi. How did you install usb drivers? I can't connect the printer. In device Manager an unidentified usb device. Cura 4.6.1.
@Ryan George yo you just saved me. thanks man.
@Ryan George This is the answer thousands have been googling. lol thanks so much!

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question about the system. When I finish slicing the model it doesn't show print via USB it only show save to file and preview. What can I do to fix this?
You ever figure out the issue?
@@MelaLabelle click on the little hook in the corner next to save to file
Cura is supposed to give you complex help in your 3d manufacturing (millions of settings). However I too advise against printing via USB. Firstly it hijack the inner software of your printer. This way my CR-10s just wasn't able to sense the missing filament. Feeding new filament for a model in progress (after pausing), resumed the printing with 1 mm offset on Y axis. Using the jog option in Cura, did move the bed by 1 mm, but the printing remained offset, ruining the thing. Printing from Cura brings no advantage, but only disadvantages. Did I mention that Cura tried to start a support in the air (while slicing)? No good analyst seems to be involved in the development of Cura even if it is version 4.4.1 (actually version 15.04.6 +++)
much better than the creality tutorial, thank you!!
Brilliant vid. Thank you so much. Everything is up and running now (Windows10, Cura 4.7.1).
This was the video I needed I could not see how to work this bah. Thnak you.
A question. Can I just use the usb-pc-to-printer connection to simply copy gcode files over to the mounted sd-card on the printer?
So that I can print using the file on sd-card as usual, without the fear of pc sleep?
That was my question too. I hate handling the microSD card back and forth. But I also don't want to take a chance the print will fail due to a stupid Windows 10 update!
Please do update here also if you find a solution for that
Win10, Cura (4.6.1), Ender3 (1.1.6.2). No need to install any USB driver and everything work fine. Thank you
You don't explain how you got Cura to recognize the printer. The Monitor screen is completely blank with no controls. Cura does not recognize my printer. My printer has a boot loader, and has been flashed. What step are needed to have Cura see it?
If you have the firmware setup correctly cura should automatically connect. It may also be a problem with your usb ports and other peripherals plugged in.
Try adding a new printer. That's what I had to do for it to recognize mine.
Can someone tell me what type of head is on that USB cable at the printer? Is it a mini b
I'll be printing soon and this seems far superior to walking around with and SD card in your hand and having to mess with the relatively clunky controls on the printer itself. As far as having your computer tied up for the print, on Windows machines you can set the priority any particular program has relative to others. I would think that if you set Cura to have the highest priority (and disabled sleep on the machine) there shouldn't be an issue. EDIT: I connected the Ender 3 with the usb cable, turned it on, but Cura can't see it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Cura (and clearing out the saved data). 'm using the latest firmware from Creality but it's a no-go.
im having the same problem
You need ch340 driver
@@hawk1515 You need ch340 driver
What type of USB cable does it use
Hi 3D Now, followed these steps & found it so easy to setup my Vyper printer to use via USB & to learn how to use Cura a little easier, thank you so very much..regards...(Steve..
Thanks!!!! This video helped. 😀
Got a question, what kind of cord did you use to connect your computer to the 3D printer?
It's usually provided with the printer.
For ender 3 it's a micro usb, you can check around the printer and see what kind of port you have and then get the cable if you don't have it.
@@razvan-sorindumitru719 it’s actually mini usb
This was really helpful for me today.
Good to know as my touch screen on my tenlog tl d3 Pro stopped working so at least can still use the printer until new screen arrives thanks
I'd like to know everything else you had to install before being able to run over USB. Like OpenSCAD...
when I tried this with my CR 10 I plug in the USB cable and the screen on my control box lights up!!!!
Nothing changes in Acura 4.80
same with me
There is absolutely nothing that can be done I can't not communicate over USB with my cr-10. I've installed all the drivers imaginable over and over ad nauseam. I followed every tutorial known to man to the letter and nothing works I am not computer illiterate I programmed remotely for the University of Michigan's Laboratory Network. I've ran so where is generic Unix and Linux boxes for decades. I ran a mail to server that had an instruction manual that weighed 27 lb LOL. So I'm not exactly illiterate when it comes to understanding computers. This just got me so fundamentally stumped that I've totally given up something that I never do. I've even considered buying a different 3D printer as a result
my computer is connected to the Ender 3 via USB but those control things in the monitor section are not there, Cura V4.8.0
Same here, would love to know why
I got it once I downloaded this driver on my computer

@@mynameisneb Yeah thats the drivers I have no problem in octoprint just nothing in cura and the USB addon thingy in cura is installed and enabled
ummm didn't work for me. I connected the pc via a regular usb cable and it doesn't show up in cura.
Thanks for an easy-to-understand video! Since it's been a couple of years, would you say the feature has gotten better?
i've got an Anet A8, i installed the driver, bought a new USB cable, whne i connect the printer it shows the driver on com and ports on the device manager, but the printer shows as not connected on cura or repetier (i tried the latter as well, to make sure it was not only the cura), what more can i do or need to do to connect the printer via USB cable.
I have tried to print via usb on my SUNLU S8 printer but it will start out good then it will just randomly pause for a few moments then start back up leaving a puddle of filament at that spot. Sometimes it will just stop all together I have tried every setting as far as baud rate and made sure that it was set for the proper speed but no luck. I have tried it with Repetier Host as well as Cura. Tried new USB cables and all but no luck. Will only complete the print via SD card with no problems. Can't find any topics about this problem. What do you think?
"i was amazed how its actually saving when i unplug the power cord" HAHA!
Thank you, my creakily friend 10 mini had sd reader problems and I did not print for 4 months thinking I had to buy a motherboard.
Thx. I misplaced by little thumb drive with the Micro SD so until I get a new one I was trying to print via usb
thank u ,,,, my cheap micro SD card that came with printer died :( and i need to print somet ASAP :P
Mine too
I'd like to use cura with my tronxy but usb will not connect works on repetier when I plug in
Thank you. i needed this
1:01 Ahh... too bad. That's the deal breaker for me.
Thanks for your video. I'm new to 3d printing and it was a great help!!
I need help! I have plugged in a usb cord! The printer is on! I am on cura! I don’t know how to find the ip of the printer! Cura doesn’t recognize that there is a printer! HELP ME!!!
Found a solution ?
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
I use an up plus 2, but it doesn't show up when connected through usb...
I copied your print setting in this video but when I slice it shows 01:35 as my print time estimate, how are you saving half an hour???
I loved your video, this really helps with using the USB cable with my printer.
Can you get a live visualisation of the print as it’s printing? So you can say watch it on a second monitor?
When I connect the usb cable to the printer the monitor tab still say to connect a printer,why?
I never get the screen on “monitor” tab, so it does work. Pleaee help me. The canle fits, the computer does tge “dun duh da dun” so i know it’s recognizing something is being plugged in, and the printers motherboard is being powered by it because the lights turn on, so what’s wrong?
Problem is my printer is not showing up in cura! under printers. my model is not visible
My laptop is unable to read the printer when connected. Cura doesn't show my printer in the monitor tab even though I have already added my printer. Is there any kind of driver to be installed in the laptop first?
I am stuck.
Hi,
I have a Creality CR6 Max and I am triying to connect my printer to my computer with a USB ? mini USB cable.
I did everything you said, but in Cura, under the monitor tab, it dosent show that am connected like you (/dev/cu.usbserial- etc...) I have nothing showing.
I checked in my device manager, and it shows that the driver CH340 is connected in port 5
Anny other information I must have to make it work ?
So if I connect my laptop to the 3-D printer I pretty much cannot use the laptop for anything while it is printing? If that's the case I would probably just rely on the flash card just above it any mishap.
Nice tutorial!! I have a question there is a way to control setting while is printing via USB?
Thanks
hello. Can you explain what type of USB cord to buy because my Ender3V2 did not come with a USB cord. Only the power cord. Thx
I plugged my printer into my computer and once I turned the printer on there was a POP and FLASH! Now the screen just shows the backlight and nothing else... :( Did I do something wrong? Or do I have a faulty mainboard?
i have the latest update but your cura looks very different from mine and my printer won't connect when i plug it in
Is that a micro USB that was plugged into your 3D printer? Is this an option for the CR-6 SE?
None of that stuff shows up in the monitor window. How unfortunate.
Then your printer is not connected correctly. It could be a problem with the printer, cable, or computer.
same here, but just give it a minute till it loads up
Going threw the comments looking for a solution
Make sure all peripherals are unplugged, the usb port is working, the software is up to date, your printer even allows to print over USB, etc.
@@3DNow Not true. In simplify3D my printer shows up fine on the COM port drop down and doesn't show up at all in Cura.
Does the ender 3 come stock like that or do I need to buy an extension?

Will it work with USB and SD card both plug in to the Ender 3? Can you save to SD card connected to Printer from PC?
can I change or in/out material to ultimaker 2 with this methot too?
Some one help please for some reason my 3d printer connect through USB connection but then printer doesn't work when i try to control it from the PC and the build plate tmeoture control doesn't show eather
Excellent work 👏 👍 👌
Hi love your video followed all your instructions but then didnt print anything is there something i did wrong or something i need to press to start print
For me, printing over USB is all about not having to constantly remove the sd card, put it in a reader, plug that reader into the pc, save the file to the SD, remove the reader and card, plug it back into the printer and then finally navigate though the printers menus to start the print from the sd card.
Over USB, you just make a single click of the mouse and it's done, a no brainer!
I'm currently printing from my desktop but as I have two spare laptops, I'm going to dedicate one too my printer.
I'll do my main activities on the desktop but any downloading or saving of files will be saved to a folder on the laptop over the network and when it comes to printing the files will already be in the right place :)

Is there any way I can change my port manually, cuz my printer DO NOT shows up when I plug it in my laptop. It works with an older version of Cura however as I can manually select my com ports.
Hi m8 wen I try print over usb printer wen printing just stops and starts ?
Ya conecte mi impresora 3d a la computadora pero no la reconoce, que puedo hacer para que la reconosca
is there any way to do this with custom added printers?
Mine is not working well. there seems to be so little control. I think it only likes its own slicer. it brings in my STL and its the wrong size, but other software gets it right. on sd card I get 2 icons for each file and its not changing pages/I can only see part of the folder. options are greyed out in software, monitor page. I have used it successfully but after running 8 hours yesterday it is buggy today. It was a little buggy yesterday. I put the gcode in the fokoos slicer and it only per heats to 200 not 215. ... finally it is working but I did nothing to fix it. I was going to reflash the board. That took 3 hours. I wounder what board is in it?
Thank you very much and I appreciate your work.
How do I add the play button And that I'll see where the nozzle is at any moment in cura?
Thanks dude. My SD card got corrupt so I used my USB instead :)
Thanks for the tutorial but I really don't see the point in the monitor. What's the point in it?
So 3d printers have no memory? And will Stop If you Turn Off the PC?
Like a normal printer you send the Print and Turn Off the PC and it will Print all papers until its done.
hello, I have the Wanhao Duplicator i3, and I can not do what you are doing with USB, is like is not recognised the USB cable; because the SD card I think is not giving the sufficient Watt to the SD and USB port? what do you thing, any suggest?? thank you.
You mentioned that little things that could turn off the connected computer would force the print via cura to stop. I just got a new printer so that I could use Cura rather than my XYZ model which used its own slicer. Should the computer priting printing with Cura not also be used to print to the XYZ? Ie I load a long job to the Cura / Ender 5+ and while I wait use the same computer to print to the XYZ printer also attached by a separate USB? Have plenty of memory and disc space. EX Can I run them in parallel?
Must be the compruter running while printing? thanks.
Hi!i have a question when im starting printing some models (founded on the internet) my print starts but its like can't melt the filament.When I have to print some models which are in micro SD(like dog,cat,pig) the models are perfect,what im doing wrong?(sorry for my english)

How did you turn off the hot end fan? what is its purpose?
Is it possible to monitor what layer you are on this way? Like the preview, except in real-time?
I have the same question, did you find the answer to this?
do you have to be signed in to go to moniter?
