Turn your printer on. Then plug cables in the following order.
1. Micro SD card into Pi.
2. Pi to Printer with USB data cable.
3. 3A, 5V USB C Power Source to Pi.
Your Pi should power on and boot up.
To access your Pi from your PC or Laptop, whilst on the same network, you will first need to confirm the Pi's IP address.
When the Pi successfully boots and connects to the internet, your Pi's IP address will show up on the printer’s LCD in the format xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:8080
If you are having issues finding the IP or unsure if your Raspberry Pi is functioning correctly, please head to the Troubleshooting Page or reference our Troubleshooting Checklist here.

If you plan to use your hub via wifi, please skip to section 4.0
Special Note: On first powerup, please allow for up to 10 minutes for the wireless hub to self-configure and adapt settings to your printer. It will be ready to use when you see an IP address appear on your printer's LCD screen. Please do not unplug the hub during this process. Subsequent boot-ups will be much faster.
Connecting the Hub to your wifi network can be done quickly. You will need a computer and SD card reader for this step. As the card is already preloaded, only a single file needs to be modified to give the hub your wifi information. We'll walk through the steps below. It is recommended to perform these steps before powering on the hub for the first time.
Special Note: On first powerup, please allow for up to 10 minutes for the wireless hub to self-configure and adapt settings to your printer. It will be ready to use when you see an IP address appear on your printer's LCD screen. Please do not unplug the hub during this process. Subsequent boot-ups will be much faster.
The Wireless Hub comes with Mounting hardware for 3030 aluminum extrusion. Below is an overview of the recommended mounting position. You are welcome to swap out the mounting hardware and place the hub in a location more suitable to your setup. It is important the Hub is secured during printing to avoid strain on cables, or accidental disconnections. A lot of things can happen when printing 24/7 so it is best to lock things down as best as possible.
