Select the printer you just added and click Connect OctoPrint

Select printer (Note: Printers may not appear if your CCHS WiFi connection is set to Public)

Request API key (will take you a login for the OctoPrint server)

Log into OctoPrint and accept the request

• Username: cchs
• Password: hackmelb

If the list of printers doesn't auto-populate you may need to manually add the printer using the Add button. The IP Addresses of the printers are available on the wiki page for each printer.

Kerrin added The IP addresses can change from time to time so you might have to dig a bit deeper :-) 22/9/22

Some of the OctoPrint units draw power from the printers. You won't be able to connect to these OctoPrint instances unless the printer is turned on. Trace the cables to see if the unit is powered from mains or not.

Go back to Cura and click Connect
