The Filament Maker TWO communicates on the Local Area Network and uses three ports to send and receive all data.
The Filament Maker TWO communicates within the Local Area Network (LAN) and can be accessed directly through the IP-address provided by the machine. The machine can be controlled and read remotely and does not share any information outside the LAN.
Note: If your Filament Maker TWO is connected to the network, ensure that the network is secure and that you regularly update passwords to prevent unauthorized access.
Tip: Access your router’s admin panel to assign a static IP address to the Filament Maker TWO. This will simplify access from other devices on the network.
Port access
The Filament Maker TWO uses the following ports to communicate:
- 8086: InfluxDB dashboard
- 8000: Filament sensor video stream
- 80: Interface and remote control
Ensure the ports listed above are open and accessible on the LAN. Currently it is not recommended to open these ports outside of the LAN.
