1. Pairing your printer
Legacy printers are supported out of the box , as they don't use the new HTTP API.
However, not all legacy printers support automatic discovery. You may need to enter your printer's IP address manually.
For new printers (5M series+), you will need to enable LAN-Only mode to connect with FlashForgeUI
Enabling LAN-only mode will prevent FlashCloud/PolarCloud from working, but provides the benefit of a true direct-connection to the printer. You will notice faster control and a smoother camera stream when comparing to Orca-FlashForge, or any of their cloud services.
The LAN-only mode setting is located in the same screen as the pairing code, see below
The Adventurer 5M, 5M Pro, and AD5X require a pairing code when connecting for the first time.
You can find the code in this settings menu on the printer (Printer ID = pairing code)
Official FlashForge documentation on LAN-only mode can be found here
- Press the
Add Printerbutton - Use automatic discovery to find your printer, or select manual entry and configure the details yourself
