In this short tutorial, we're going to guide you through the step-by-step on how to import your files directly into your 3D printer, simply through the internet connection function. If you are curious about how to do it, make sure to read through or watch the tutorial video below.

 


First, take a look at the back side of your 3D printer, and plug in your internet connection of choice to the connection port. For Sonic Mighty 8K, you can choose to use either a Wi-Fi adapter or an Ethernet cable.

 

use Wi-Fi adapter or ethernet cable to connect your 3D printer to the network.

 

Then go to the Settings tab, choose Network, and connect to your internet. In this tutorial, we are going to use a Wi-Fi connection to perform our file transfer.

If you want to connect to it on Debian-based Linux (Ubuntu, etc.), use the following commands:

```
sudo apt update && sudo apt install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /mnt/phrozen
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/emmc /mnt/phrozen -o uid=1000,gid=1000,user=admin,pass=123456
```

Replace 192.168.0.10, admin, and 123456 with the values from your printer.

It’s a great addition to the workflow!
