Adding the :7125 port after the IP address is very important for this to work. On that port it will be able to recognize the Host Type. The device UI runs on port 80. So entering the IP address under Device UI will suffice.

Host Type: Octo/Klipper Printer Agent: Moonraker Hostname, IP or URL: <IP address>:7125 Device UI: <IP address>

Adding the :7125 port after the IP address is very important for this to work. On that port it will be able to recognize the Host Type. The device UI runs on port 80. So entering the IP address under Device UI will suffice.

Flash Studio instructions

1. Go to 'Device' Tab

2. Click on the '+' icon

3. Click under Other Device on AD5X

4. A popup will show. It will ask for the printer access code. This will show on the 3D printer itself under "Settings (gear icon) > Network (wifi icon) > Network Mode".

5. The FlashForge AD5X will now show up under 'Device List' in Flash Studio.

WebUI

There is a web interface (Fluidd) available on the printers IP Address:

http://<IP-Address>

For example you can upload printer files or move the printer head.

Firmware

ZMod

This is 'extra' firmware on top of the original printer. "Z-Mod doesn’t replace the stock firmware — it enhances it". Comes with Klipper updates that the original firmware does not provide. The Zmod firmware also installs Fluidd which enables a WebUI on the printers IP address.
