Why do I need to sync material profiles with my printer?

In the Ultimaker Marketplace you can find more than 200 materials, which are compatible with Ultimaker printers. From Ultimaker Cura 4.13 you can now easily synchronize the material profiles to your printers via the Digital Factory.

It is important to have material profiles on your printer because it will have impact on your bed levelling, deprime and print core changing. So the printer knows what to do with the selected material. 

Tip: When loading your material on your printer will select the right profile.

To sync a material profile to the printer, it is important that a stable network connection is established. General troubleshooting of the network connection can be found on this page. 

Note: To sync your material profiles via Digital Factory you need to have firmware 7.0.1 for Ultimaker S-line printers

• S-line printer with firmware 7.0.1
