Step 5: Execute Firmware Update
  1. Open the 22IDEX Web Interface in a browser.

  3. The update takes about 1-2 minutes. Do not turn off the power or press the E-Stop during this time.
  4. When done, the machine will restart. Successful updates show white LEDs, then red LEDs after about 30 seconds.
Step 6: Wi-Fi Configuration

Step 7: Final Verification

Z-Probe Holder Position:

  • Navigate to: Dashboard -> Macros -> System -> Calibration -> Z Probe -> Rotate holder to set degree.
  • Ensure the Z-Probe holder is horizontal in the pickup position.

Z-Offset Calibration:

  • Go to: Dashboard -> Macros.

Additional Printer Calibration:

  3. For dual color/multi-material prints: After the above, Dashboard -> Macros -> System -> Calibration -> Tool Alignment -> Auto XY Tool Alignment with a Probe (Multi Material). Validate using the “XY – Alignment Test.3mf” file from Dashboard -> Jobs.
Step 8: Configuring a Slicer
  1. Download the latest slicer version for your OS and install.
  2. Get the 22IDEX configuration files at: Dashboard -> Jobs -> PrusaSlicer_config_bundle.ini.
  3. Open the slicer: File -> Import -> Import Config Bundle -> Select the downloaded file.
  4. Activate expert setting mode.
  5. Choose “printer settings” -> “22IDEX Standard mode.”
  6. Click “open physical printer” (small gear icon, top left).
  7. Enter your machine’s IP, ensuring “Host type” is “Duet” to allow wireless slicer to machine connection.
  8. Click “Test” and, once verified, “OK” -> “Save Preset.”
