It’s true. OctoEverywhere.com empowers the worldwide maker community with free and unlimited remote access to their Ender-3 V3 KE web portal, next-gen AI failure detection, real-time notifications, and more.
The best part? It only takes 60 seconds to set up! Start now!
Step 1 – Enable SSH Root Access
SSH, or Secure Shell, is disabled by default on the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE. SSH is a standard tool for accessing and controlling your Ender-3 V3 KE from another computer. Think of it like a local remote desktop for your Ender-3 V3 KE.
Enabling SSH and getting the root password on the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE is easy:
- From the printer’s home screen, tap the “gear” icon to enter settings.
- Tap “Root account information”
You will see a warning about the power of root access. But don’t worry; our guide will walk you through the required steps, and there’s no risk to your Ender-3 V3 KE.
Scroll the text to the bottom, check the box, and press “Next Step”. You will then see the SSH root login information for the Ender-3 V3 KE. The default user name is root, and the password is creality_2023.
Step 2- Find your Creality Ender-3 V3 KE’s IP Address;
Each device on your home network has a unique IP address that allows it to communicate with other devices. To SSH into your Ender-3 V3 KE, you will need to find the IP address of your Ender-3 V3 KE.
- From the printer’s home screen, tap the “gear” icon to enter settings.
- Select the “Network” tab at the top of the screen.
- If your printer is connected via WiFi, the IP address will be shown under your network name.
- If your printer is connected via Ethernet, tap the arrow next to the word “Connected”; the IP address will be listed on the following screen.
- Write down the IP address you need in the next step.
Step 3 – Log Into Your Creality Ender-3 V3 KE With Root Access
You will need to use a terminal, such as MobaXterm, on Windows or the Terminal app on a Mac. If you need help downloading and using MobaXterm, here is an excellent guide.
When you have selected a terminal, log into your Ender-3 V3 KE using this command:
ssh root@<your-ender-v3-ip>For example, if the IP address of your Ender-3 V3 KE is 192.168.1.23, use:
ssh root@192.168.1.23You will be prompted for the password you got when you enabled root SSH access. Enter: creality_2023
You did it! You now have a remote terminal open to your Ender-3 V3 KE logged in as the root user! ????
Step 4 – Install Moonraker, Fluidd, and Mainsail On The Ender-3 V3 KE
Moonraker, Fluidd, and Mainsail are the standard components used by most Klipper setups. However, Creality doesn’t install Moonraker, Fluidd, or Mainsail by default on the Ender-3 V3 KE.
Moonraker is a service that interacts with Klipper and exposes its functions to OctoEverywhere and web frontends like Fluidd and Mainsail. The web frontends create the webpage you load in your browser to access, monitor, and control the printer. We recommend you install both web frontends and see which you like.
To install Moonraker, Fluidd, or Mainsail on the Ender V3 KE, you can use a script written by Guilouz on his GitHub page. The script makes installation easy, providing a full user interface with easy-to-understand options. Note that the script was originally written for the Creality K1 and K1 Max, but it works for the Ender-3 V3 KE too!
To get the script running, make sure you SSHed into your Ender-3 V3 KE as root and enter the following commands into the terminal:
cd root
git config --global http.sslVerify false
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Guilouz/Creality-Helper-Script.git /usr/data/helper-scriptsh /usr/data/helper-script/helper.shGreat! Now, you have the installer script running. Next, we will install the required core components. You can accept all the defaults as you install each component or change them if you wish.
- From the script’s main menu, enter “1” to open the install menu.
- From the install menu, enter “5” to install Enterare.
- When the install is done, enter “1” to install Moonraker and Nginx.
- When the install is done, enter “4” to install “Supervisor Lite”
- When the install is done, enter “2” or “3” to install Fluidd or Mainsail.
- We recommend you install both, and then you can use whichever you like.
- Finally, enter “19” to install OctoEverywhere!
If you get a “wget: TLS error from peer (alert code 80): 80” error during the installs, do this to fix it:
- Run Guilouz’s installer script
- From the main menu, enter “1” to open the install menu
- From the install menu, enter “5” to install Entware
- When it’s done installing, exit the install script by entering “q”
- Type “
reboot” into the terminal to restart the Ender-3 V3 KE’s computer - Wait for about 30 seconds for the restart and reconnect your SSH terminal
- Enter
"opkg install wget-ssl” into the terminal - Now try the Moonraker, Fluidd, and Mainsail installs again.
Congrats, you now have a full Moonraker, Fluidd, and Mainsail Klipper setup running on your Creality Ender-3 V3 KE! You can access Fluidd or Mainsail on your home network using:
- Fluidd –
http://<ender-v3-ke-ip-address>:4408 - Mainsail –
http://<ender-v3-ke-ip-address>:4409
Step 5 – Install The OctoEverywhere Plugin For Remote Access
You can skip this part if you installed OctoEverywhere in the guide above. Otherwise, run the following commands in the remote terminal to download and install the OctoEverywhere plugin:
cd /usr/data/git clone https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere octoeverywhere
cd octoeverywhere
sh ./install.shIf you’re wondering what’s happening, the cd command is used to move the terminal to a different folder, in this case, the /usr/data folder. git clone downloads our open-source plugin code to your device. cd once again moves the terminal into our plugin’s code folder. Then ./install.sh starts a script that does the plugin install.
Done! ????
