The Modix Big-60 can only be sent files via Wi-Fi. Setup the connection so you may use your own laptop.
Setting up Wi-Fi Access
On the machine, use the Console menu to enter in the following commands one by one:
Temporarily disable the access point.
Set up your own network; this will be valid until the next user resets the access point. Replace the networkname and password with something for your own use. E.g. M589 S"Modix60" P"password123" I192.168.0.1 Note: there is a capital i before the 192.168.0.1 This is the IP address of the machine to use in your browser.
Turn the access point back on
This is an interface known as Duet Web Control to control, monitor and upload to the printer. It is accessed through your web browser. 1. Open up your internet browser of choice and navigate to the IP above; 182.168.0.1
Navigate to Files > Jobs to Upload your G-code.
Find your g-code file and select it, follow the prompts to start the print.
The print will begin shortly after the Modix performs some initial calibration tests.
Through Control > Dashboard, you can do basic commands such as pausing the print, controlling some print parameters, and see the estimated print time.
Now we wait for the print to complete! You may disconnect to the printer once the print has started.
Pause the print first to gain access to the Cancel function.
