TENLOG 3D Printer User Manual
Step 1. WIFI Setting of TL-D3V2 Series 3D Printer
After booting up, click ⚙️ Settings in the main interface to enter the settings interface.
In the settings interface, click the IP text box to enter the WIFI setting interface.
The main interface displays status indicators for X, Y, Z axes positions, and temperature/fan speeds. Icons for core functions are also present:
- [Dual Material]
- [Print SD]
- [Tools]
- [Settings]
WIFI Mode
The TENLOG WIFI module supports 3 modes:
- A. Off: WIFI does not start in this mode.
- B. Http Server: The WIFI module connects to the customer's local SSID. The printer acts as a web server for local devices (mobile phone or computer) to connect and control.
- C. Http Server(AP) Access Point mode: The printer acts as an access point. Mobile phones or computers connect to this access point to control the printer.
The default setting is Http Server (AP) mode.
WIFI Setting Parameters
These parameters are configured in the settings interface:
- SSID: The name of the local WIFI (for Http Server mode) or the WIFI hotspot (for Http Server (AP) mode).
- Password: The WIFI connection password, which must be eight characters or more.
- IP: The network IP address of the printer, used for control.
- Port: The network port of the printer, used with the IP address.
- Access Code: A code required to operate and control the printer.
- Apply: Click to apply the settings and start the WIFI module.
Step 2. Connecting and Controlling the TL-D3 Series 3D Printer via WIFI
This section describes connecting a mobile phone (Android example; iPhone, tablet, or PC operations are similar) to control the printer.
Connecting to the Access Point
If the printer is in the default Http Server (AP) mode, connect your mobile phone to this access point first. If you are using Http Server mode and are already connected to your local WIFI, you can skip this step.
Open your mobile phone's WIFI connection interface, find the SSID name you set in Step 1 (WIFI Setting Parameters), and enter the correct WIFI password.
Accessing the Web Interface
Enter the IP and Port obtained in Step 1 into your mobile phone's browser address bar. The format is typically http://[IP Address]:[Port]
(e.g., http://192.168.4.1:80
). The port 80 can often be omitted. Click "Start" (or similar) to access the printer's web login interface.
Login
Enter the correct access code on the login screen and click Login to control the 3D printer.
