¶ Preparation steps:
- Download and install Elegoo slicer
- If initiating a print directly through Elegoo slicer, you need to connect the printer to Wi-Fi, ensuring the printer and computer are on the same local area network.
¶ Operation steps:
¶ 1. Enable "LAN Only" on the touchscreen
Go to Settings - LAN Only - click to enable LAN Only. When the printer is connected to the internet, the camera can be accessed normally through Elegoo slicer, but the time-lapse photography feature cannot be enabled.
