Firmware
Once in a while a new Cura version and firmware version are released. In order to stay up to date it is therefore recommended to download the latest version of Cura once available and update your Ultimaker with the latest firmware as well. The latest version of Cura (including latest firmware version) can always be found on the Software page.
In order to install the latest firmware to your Ultimaker Original, follow the steps described below.
1. Connect it
Connect the Ultimaker Original to your computer with the USB cable.
2. Uploading firmware
Start Cura and go to “Extensions" > "Firmware" > "Update firmware” (make sure the Ultimaker Original is selected in the “Machine menu”). Cura will now automatically upload the latest firmware to your Ultimaker Original.
