Connect and Update

  • Updated

Connect your KODAK Portrait 3D printer to the Internet to perform regular updates to take full advantage of all its great and latest features.

An Internet connection is required to use our KODAK 3D Cloud (powered by 3D Printer OS) which allows remote management of your printer(s).

To learn more about Cloud printing, be sure to read our article Cloud printing.

Connecting

NOTE: We strongly recommend using a wired Ethernet connection. A wired connection will allow your printer to have an optimal connection to the KODAK Cloud.

If you are having any difficulties, please check out our connection troubleshooting guide.

Ethernet

  1. Connect an ethernet cable from your router/modem directly into the ethernet socket on the back of the KODAK Portrait 3D printer.
  2. Go to Setup > Connectivity > Info and verify that you're getting a valid IP address from your router/modem.
