wish to re-register the printer and e↵ectively ”start afresh” with
the printer. The process for starting afresh with a printer, at-
taching a previously used printer at a di↵erent site, is essentially
that of attaching a new printer, already discussed in Chapter 1:
adding a printer to your Polar Cloud account.
When a pri nter is moved to a new sit e, the prior owner may
have chosen to delete their local network profile information
from the printer via the Reset Networks button of the Network
screen of the printer local web interface,andmay have obsoleted
their ownership of the printer in the Polar Cloud via that same
screen’s Reset Printer on the Polar Cloud button. Per-
forming Reset Printer on the Polar Cloud in particular is
recommended when changing ownership of a printer in high use
as it means that any remaining print jobs q u eu ed to t h e printer
remain visible to members, so that members can move such old
jobs to another printer to which they have access – it is less
disruptive to the printer’s members. However, it is possible to
“take over” a printer even without such steps, as when the for-
mer printer owner is no longer available to aid by performing
such a “clean handover” step.
If the printer was previously connected via some other local
network (as when you have acquired a printer formerly used at a
di↵erent site), you will need to start at the steps for configuring
local network use.
If, however, the printer was already in use in your 3D printer
lab or classroom, so already properly configured to use your
local network (and the prior owner didn’t click Reset Networks
thereby deleting the local network profile), and you merely need
to take over as its owner , then you should start instead at step 10
