Figure 1.1: Polar Cloud account menu Settings tab
To connect (register) your Dremel printer to your Polar Cloud account, you will need to supply an email address associated with a Polar Cloud account, and that account’s “PIN Code”. If you do not already have a Polar Cloud account, you can create one by going to http://polar3d.com and logging in via Google, Facebook, Microsoft Live, or Microsoft Office 365. Once logged in, click on your account profile image – near the screen’s upper right corner, as seen in Figure 1.1. (In Figure 1.1, the Polar Cloud member has set a profile image – but if you are a new Polar Cloud member, you may instead have a generic icon.) Then click on the “Settings” tab; see Figure 1.1.
At the resulting “SETTINGS” screen, see Figure 1.2, make a note of the “Email” address and “PIN Code” for the account, located towards the lower left; see Figure 1.3.
Shortly, you will be entering the information shown in Figure 1.3 into your Dremel printer’s configuration: see Figure 2.7 and Figure 2.9.
But now for context (and to be able to compare later, after you’ve added your Dremel 3D45 to your Polar Cloud account), let’s take a look at what your Polar Cloud list of printers might look like before you connect your Dremel 3D45 to your Polar Cloud account. When logged in to the Polar Cloud, expand the top menu and under “Make”, select “Printers”; see for instance Figure 1.4.
If you are using a device with a narrow display (such as a smart phone), then instead of seeing menu tabs along the top of the screen as in Figure 1.4, you will see an expandable menu icon at the upper left of the screen, see Figure 1.5. Click the menu icon to expand the menu, and then under “Make”, click “Printers”; see Figure 1.6.
Selecting display of your printers in the Polar Cloud will bring up a screen that might appear something like that shown in Figure 1.7. (Figure 1.7 shows the “TILES” display of printers via image tiles; if you click “LIST”, you will instead see any printers listed via a text list.) In this example, the account already has one printer controlled via OctoPrint, but does not yet have a Dremel printer connected!
