Understanding What Polar Cloud Sends to the Printer

It’s reasonable to wonder what actually gets sent to your printer when you click Print. The short answer: Polar Cloud sends a print command plus the files the printer needs to do the job. Nothing more. Here’s what that really...

Processes and Configurations

Modern slicers separate concerns. Polar Cloud follows that same model. Instead of putting everything into one giant profile, slicing is broken into process, filament, and machine settings. Together, these roll up into a single configuration you can reuse.

Common Questions from Desktop Slicer Users

If you’re used to slicing on your desktop, this article answers the questions you’re probably already asking. It explains how Polar Cloud fits alongside existing slicer workflows, what’s different in a browser-based slicer, and how to decide when to slice...

Managing Multiple Printers in One Account

This article explains how Polar Cloud is designed to manage many printers at once, even across different brands and locations. It covers organization, visibility, and practical workflows for scaling beyond a single machine.

What Polar Cloud Does — and Does Not — Control

This article explains exactly where Polar Cloud sits in the printing workflow. It clarifies what the platform manages, what it leaves untouched, and how control is shared between your files, your printer, and the cloud.

Using Default Configurations

If you’ve never created and saved a custom configuration, you’re almost certainly using a default one — and that’s usually a good thing. Polar Cloud’s default configurations are either tuned by the community or provided directly by the printer manufacturer....

Monitoring Prints Remotely

Once a print starts, the question is simple: is it actually doing what it’s supposed to do? Polar Cloud lets you check on prints without standing next to the printer, installing extra software, or being on the same network.

Using Your Printer

This path is for people who already know how to 3D print. If you’ve spent years slicing on your desktop, this isn’t about relearning the basics. It’s about understanding how those same ideas show up inside the Polar Cloud, what’s...
