Web Interface

Learn how to use NanoDLP's web interface for printer control, file management, and system configuration.

Overview

NanoDLP’s web interface is where you perform day‑to‑day work: upload files, slice, start/stop prints, and monitor the machine. This page shows how to complete the most common tasks quickly.

Access the interface

  1. Find your printer’s IP on your network UI or screen.
  2. Open a browser and go to: http://<printer-ip>/.
  3. If authentication is enabled, sign in with your user credentials.

Quick start: from model to print

  1. Upload a model
    • Go to Plates or Jobs and choose Add/Upload.
    • Select your file (STL, 3MF, OBJ, ZIP with PNGs, etc.).
  2. Pick a profile
    • Choose a resin profile appropriate for your material. If unsure, start with your manufacturer’s recommendation and fine‑tune later. See Profile Management.
  3. Slice
  4. Start printing
    • Open the created plate/job and click Print. Confirm when prompted.
  5. Monitor progress
    • Home shows layer, ETA, and status. Use Pause/Resume/Stop as needed.

Everyday tasks

Upload or import

  • Upload from your computer: Add/Upload in Plates or Jobs.
  • From USB: Insert the drive and open USB in the sidebar to select files.

Re‑slice after changes

  • If you change profile parameters that affect slicing, click Regenerate on the plate to re‑apply settings. See indicators in Settings Overview.

Pause, resume, stop

  • Pause: Safely pauses after the current exposure/move.
  • Resume: Continues the job.
  • Stop/Force stop: Stops immediately; use with caution.

Estimate time/material

  • Use Estimate on a profile/height or view estimates on the job page after slicing.

Backup and restore

  • Create a backup from Setup/Backup. Restore from the same section. See Guide → Backup.

Where to find things

  • Home: Live status, current job, quick actions.
  • Plates/Jobs: Upload, manage, regenerate, print.
  • Profiles: Create/tune resin profiles. See Profile Management.
  • Machine/Setup: Pins, motors, display, network, and advanced options. See Machine Configuration.
  • Terminal: Send G‑code and view logs.
  • WiFi: Configure network. See Raspberry Pi display/WiFi.

Troubleshooting

  • Can’t reach the UI: Verify IP, network, and that NanoDLP service is running. Try another browser.
  • Upload fails: Check file size/format. For large files, prefer server or remote slicing.
  • Slicing stuck: Review logs on Terminal; try Web‑based Slicing or Remote Slicing.
  • Print won’t start: Ensure no active job, doors/sensors OK (if enabled), and sufficient free space.
