I have found mine will fall off the network as well, not sure why yet. If you power off then back on, that will fix it. I will look for a more permanent fix.
@@ChrisRiley ok I'ver used the ethernet port before like a LONG time ago, but the software you showed looked different then what used to be on there and I didn't know it would pair with the slicer. Thanks!
Thanks Chris, it was very helpful and done nicely, Decided to order the module and setup the wifi as well. ...also, liked the music pick on the Timelapse, cheers!
Hi Chris. I'm a new watcher to your channel and I have a quick question. I'm new to 3d printing, I have a Prusa i3s+ that I have been using for about a month or so. My question is what raspberry would I use on this machine for wi-fi and hooking up a camera that I have?
Oh my GOD! I completely forgot that the mini has flipping wifi 😵💫 I tried to buy one of the wifi modules from prusa, but they were out of stock with no real expectation of restocking... so damn glad you made this vid! For $7 I get another awesome feature out of one of my favourite little printers!! Value well added!
Chris, good information. Once you can connect directly to your printer and load files, monitor, etc it is very difficult to go back to using a SD card, especially the Micro - too easy to loose and break.
Hi Chris, happy to do more about the Mini. Maybe some tuning like E3d Revo micro or component cooling with other fan shroud. Current Marlin or Klipper would of course also be interesting...... I operate the Mini via Octoprint, but I still installed the WLAN update. I find it a bit annoying that you have to enter the API code in the browser every time. But otherwise cool update.
I did this upgrade back when the beta firmware came out. The most annoying part was probably pinching the power switch tabs in enough to be able to pull it out while at the same time trying not to break the plastic case it was clipped in to. The firmware upgrade itself is great, but I found wifi speeds too slow for uploads, and went back to just using the ethernet cable, which had more tolerable (still not fast) upload speeds. Being able to upload gcode to the Mini without using Octoprint and an extra Raspberry Pi is pretty sweet though. It's basic, but gets the job done, and that's enough for me. I don't need the extra bells and whistles of Octoprint for my Mini.
I know this is unrelated to the video but I was hoping you could tell me the difference between the TMC 2208 UART and the regular TMC 2208 stepper. I thought UART or Stand alone, or SPI were determined through the jumpers. Thanks
Most of the time, yes, that is configed with the jumpers. In stand alone the jumpers set the micro stepping and the POT sets the current. In UART or SPI, you control the micro step with gcode as well as the current.
I upgraded my Prusa Mini with WiFi years ago when I added an OctoPi. I really wish Prusa would have spent their time improving an already great print management software instead of reinventing.
Chris my only suggestion is to remind people to eject thier usb via the software side on windows before pulling the drive to cut down corruptions, otherwise I love your content.
Do the other printers support a wifi module? Mk3s+ etc? I see raspberry pi zero is documented for Prusa connect. I have a few older pi 3 b... So trying to figure out the best path. Also great video... 👍
4.1.0 has a mesh bed leveling bug, just an FYI. I found and reported it. When returning results of the bi-linear leveling grid, there are intermittent missing/wrong values.
I updated the mini , added the WIFI (really Buggie, Big Files nope, benchy yes) .. does work ... ** Update it appears that its the modules , I got the 3 pack and each works a little different 1 no downloads but connect ,2 lets you start downloads but stop after 1-2% 3 it just does even care...
