Connecting To Your Printer - 3D Systems Allevi 3 User Manual

CONNECTING TO YOUR PRINTER

Ethernet connection:
To connect your Allevi bioprinter via ethernet, plug an ethernet cord to the port on the back of the
printer and to an ethernet port in your lab. You need to power cycle with the ethernet connected.
Wi-Fi Connection:
With a Wi-Fi connection, your printer will be online.
Step 1
Open your WiFi settings and look for a network called "Allevi Printer <serial number>.
By connecting to the Allevi hotspot, your computer will briefly lose access to the Internet.
Step 2
Go to http://10.42.0.1/ in your browser.
Step 3
Click Configure under 'Wifi Settings' and enter your network credentials on the next screen. The
chosen WiFi network should be a private network without a 'Click to accept' intermediate page.
Once the network has been successfully added, a green message will pop up at the bottom of the
page. You can now close this window.
Adapter Connection:
With this connection method, your Allevi bioprinter will not be connected to the internet itself, but
it will communicate with your computer via the Allevi Adapter.
Step 1
Download the official driver here. Extract the downloaded .zip file and run the installer. This allows
your computer to connect to two Wi-Fi networks at the same time.
