Sorry for I miswirte. we also tried can not direct connection with an Ultimaker 2 on the USB port to print something. Hence, we just via SD card. Have many pepole this problem?
+1548pts for you.
Ultimaker never intended to make their machine work using a USB cable…
It’s not a problem since you’re not supposed to make a direct connection to the machine EXCEPT when updating the firmware.

I tried with the raspberry pi… but i got stuck with the correct image to download… and im really bad with coding, or linux…does some one have a good tutorial simple (for simple human beings)?
google OctoPi 
its also referenced on the octoprint homepage. it’s basically a ready to go image for the raspberry pi with octoprint on it.
Hi,
Yes you can, Simplify3D allows you to do this. However I tend not to use this feature very much as it means leaving the computer on for the entire print. Also, if it crashes then the print will fail.

True, but that’s a power issue, if the power to the printer goes out, the print is going to fail anyway 
just make sure the Pi has a sufficient psu.

yeah thanks, I meant that i would apreciate if some one has a good and simple tutorial for using the raspberry pi…
Look for ‘Tom’s guide’ on youtube. Nice tutorial about the raspberry pi and connecting it to the um2.
Hi Eytan, I gave Octoprint a try last saturday and wrote an Instructable with my struggles 
Maybe it’s helpful to you

This is possible without 3rd party application.
Just set the settings of the GCode flavor to Makerbot
You just have to set the van in the gcode to activate it.
But i don’t know how to fix this.
question: why would you build you own image? there is a ready to go image called “OctoPi” which has everything pre-installed… just download the img and flash it to your drive…
I don’t understand what I have to do to get started in the sense:
- connect my laptop tot the USB of UM2
- and then…

Open Cure,
Go to machine settings.
Change Gcode flavor to (makerbot… something)
I don’t have Cura available at the moment.
The icon changes to Print from usb.
Then you can print with usb.
Hey Freek,
3DPrinterOS controls Ultimaker 2 over USB! You can try it at cloud.3dprinteros.com
Taavi,
You can print through usb I have found, but it didn’t (may no longer apply) respect endstop limits
try a wifi SD card, then use prontrface to initiate print from sd card?
I think what you want can be achieve with Astroprint. Let me know
No, you can only upload files using the sd card.
