Starting with
firmware v4.0.5,
you can connect your Original Prusa MINI to the local area network
(LAN) and
access basic information about the printer through web-based interface called
PrusaConnect.
The printer has DHCP turned on by default. Go to
LCD Menu - Settings - LAN
Settings
and check whether the IP address has been assigned correctly. Then, on your PC or cell
phone, open a web browser of your choice and
enter the IP address into the address field.
This will
allow you to see basic information about the current print job. PrusaConnect in the current version
works
only on local area network
and its features will be expanded in further releases.
Wi-Fi module (an optional accessory) is not supported in default firmware. Information about Wi-Fi
module availability will be published at
www.prusa3d.com
or
blog.prusaprinters.org
.
Original Prusa MINI is also compatible with a third-party tool for network printing called
OctoPrint. Please refer to OctoPrint website (
www.octoprint.org
) for more information on setup
and configuration.
