Connecting Klipper-Based Printers to Polar Cloud Using Our Installer

Easily connect your Klipper-powered 3D printer to the Polar Cloud using our official installer. Follow these steps to set up the integration and start managing your prints from anywhere.

Introduction

If your printer runs on Klipper, you can now link it directly to the Polar Cloud for remote print management, job history, timelapses, and more. We’ve created a simple installer that streamlines the entire process — no manual setup required.

What You’ll Need

  • A Klipper-based printer (running on a Raspberry Pi or similar device)

  • Internet access on your Klipper host

  • Your Polar Cloud account credentials (see here 🔗)

About the Installer

Our installer automatically:

  • Installs the Polar Cloud Agent on your Klipper device

  • Configures secure communication with Polar Cloud

  • Creates a service so the agent runs in the background on startup

This means you can go from zero to connected in minutes without editing multiple config files.

Video Walkthrough

How to Install:

  1. Open a terminal on your Klipper host device (SSH into your Pi or 3D printer mainboard)
  2. Run the installer commands, in order. Clone the repository, CD into the folder, then run the install script (./install.sh)
  3. Visit {your.printers.ip}/polar-cloud/ and fill out the necessary fields
  4. Click "Connect to Polar Cloud"

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Run systemctl status polarcloud-agent to confirm the service is active.
  • Export logs to see what might be failing behind the scenes. There is a button to easily export logs, on the /polar-cloud/ page.
