Heads up
This guide enables root access on your Creality HI and modifies its configuration. This may void your warranty; proceed only if you accept the risk.
Set up SimplyPrint on the Creality HI
In this guide we will go through:
- Find your HI's IP address
- Enable root access and get the password
- Enable SimplyPrint in Fluidd (via SSH)
- Access your web interface
1. Find your HI's IP address
- On the touchscreen navigate to "Settings" → "Network".
- Note down the HI's IP address shown under your network name/SSID.
2. Enable root access
- On the touchscreen navigate to "Settings" and scroll down to select "Root account
information".
- Read the disclaimer and wait 30 seconds before checking "I have read and understood the risks of root
login" and then pressing "Ok".
- Note down the generated root password.
Tip
When typing the password in your terminal, no characters will appear; that's normal for security.
3. Enable SimplyPrint in Fluidd (via SSH)
- Open a terminal or SSH client on your computer.
- Connect to the HI using the IP address and root password you noted:
ssh root@[IP_ADDRESS]
For example; ssh [email protected]
- When prompted for a password, enter the password you noted.
- Once connected, run the command below to enable SimplyPrint and restart Moonraker:
echo '[simplyprint]' >> /usr/share/moonraker/moonraker.conf && /etc/init.d/moonraker restart
4. Access your web interface
- Open a web browser on your computer.
- Using the IP address you noted, navigate to
http://[IP_ADDRESS]:4408
to access the Fluidd panel hosted by your HI.
And that's it! Your Creality HI is now running Klipper with SimplyPrint enabled.
