S5 pre-2020 web-server running, /printers not accessible - 5.8.2
It's great to talk to someone who knows networks for a change.
1) ssh credential is root/ultimaker - you can configure the network using conman linux utility (it's not a raspberry pi but actually an Olimex board). The printer has a version of linux called "debian jessie" I believe. you can use apt-get to install more software utilities as needed. You can easily "brick" the machine if you mess up the network with conman (because you lose ssh access) so go slowly. To unbrick you will need a micro-sd card and beg for instructions from your reseller and can waste many hours the first time but once you've done it once it only takes 5 minutes the second time. You can also bypass ssh by buying a $7 "olimex serial F" cable and you get direct access to the console through a nearby laptop and so that's (for me) an easier way to unbrick if you just did a minor conman configuration error. If you are in USA then I sell the cable here: https://thegr5store.com/store/index.php/usb-serial-cable-f.html
2) If the printer has the option, try "reset digital factory" (newer firmware?) or "cura connect reset" (older firmware). You won't lose any printer configuration and it fixes dozens of problems on the printer particularly ones related to networking. It doesn't hurt but I think will do a reboot so it takes a minute.
3) wired is much much better than wifi on the S3/S5 printers. It's not a matter of signal strength. It's something more serious. If you can get a wired connection it may solve many issues.
Thank you Gr5 (or should I say Gr8 -3).
I saw this setting before, but as I am not a 3D printer guy, let alone an ultimaker guy, I didn't want to wipe settings that may be vital.
Everything is back and working, CURA seems to not even notice anything changed.
