• MicroSD/TF card, best to be name brand. 
• A computer that can read and write to SD card in FAT32 format (Windows / OSX / Linux)
• microSD/TF Card reader (Ender3 comes with it)
• M4 hex key
• Utility knife
• Needle nose pliers

Download file:

1. Download NodeFlashTool-v0.3
2. Download Node’s latest firmware
3. Download Node’s webpage file(.zip)

ssid specify WiFi Access Point name. Change the WiFi name to the name of access point you preferred.

pass_word: Your wifi password. Enter plaintext, this configuration file will be deleted after the wifi is configured, please don't worry about password leakage. We only support WPA2

device_name: The device name of your holocubic

The last line ends with a 0.

Please note: after each line, do not have a space to separate text. The last line must add a 0.

config.txt :

ssid:wifiname

pass_word:12345678

After configuring the wifi file of the SD card, we need to insert the SD card into the Node.

Node is powered by standard USB 5V power source to its USB-C port.  Please locate and use the 5V charging adapter included in the Node shipment. 

Connect USB Cable to Node Type C port.

*Best to use included USB 5V Charger. Some USB PD Charger may have over 5V current that could damage Node.

Node has a status light (highlighted on the right) that will tells you

• Blinking red: SD card not found
• Steady red light: wifi has not been configured
• Steady green light: wifi configuration complete
• Steady blue light: printing

You can also find the name and  IP of Node on the screen. In this example, IP is 192.168.2.12

Next, we need to connect the USB-A of NodePro to the USB port of the printer, and at the same time insert the SD card plug of Node Pro into the SD card slot of the printer.

Please note that the baud rate of the USB communication between the Node Pro and the printer is 115200. If your printer has changed the firmware and changed to another baud rate, then the USB of the Node Pro may not be able to communicate with the printer normally.

Open the browser and make sure that your computer or mobile phone is connected to the same local area network as Node. Enter in the ip on the Node display into the browser. 

Using previous page example:

It would be http://192.168.2.12:88/version 

Check the version number on the top left corner 

(Suppose your version is: 2022-6-8-2005)

Note the use of http, not https

When the Node is powered on and the network configuration is completed (the green light is always on), we can control the printer through the web page under the same local area network. First, find the IP address displayed on Node’s OLED panel , then enter IP  in the browser: http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:88

Using example from previous page. It would be http://192.168.2.12:88

If you are unable to connect. Make sure it is http protocol,not https.

The interface shown on the right will then be displayed. You can try clicking the home button in the web page to control actions such as printer reset.

❗ Note that a Node currently only supports access to less than 5 webpages/terminals at the same time. Please try not to open multiple browser windows at the same time to control the same Node.

You can upload the Gcode file generated by any slice software to Node. Select the Gcode file on the web page and click “Upload”.

Note: There should be no spaces in the file name, otherwise the printing cannot be controlled normally!

After the upload is complete, in the file list in the lower left corner, click: “print”, and you can see that the printer starts printing.

Please make sure that the file you print does not contain spaces in the file name
