Hi everyone, I recently made a discovery today that could be common knowledge but I have never really seen it anywhere so I figured it was worth a share. Until now I knew that you could access a cut down version of the klipper web UI from creality print or from orca if you connected it to the printers IP address. But I had never been able to successfully connect to the full klipper UI before without having to first root the machine.
This was a bit of a pain in the rear as I wanted to connect my machines to some klipper management apps I have installed on my phone but was never able to do so. Having access to the klipper UI also meant that I would be able to print over wifi from non-creality slicers such as orcaslicer or prusaslicer, which before was never an option. Having access to the web UI also gives me full access to everything klipper has to offer without having to root my machine and possibly cause damage or void warranty. A big one for me is to be able to view customers
In order to access the full klipper web UI all that you have to do is connect your printer to your network. On your computer ensure that you are connected to the same network and the go to whatever browser you prefer. In the search bar at the top type in the IP address of the printer, this is accessible from the printer screen under the network tab in settings. Then after the IP address of the machines you will want to put :4408. This is a port number assigned to all of the creality machines. Without the :4408 it will fail to load the page every time, but as soon as that port has been added in it connects instantly.
