Upgrade the Malyan M200 or the Monoprice Select Mini's V1 Web UI and enable faster Wi-Fi file uploads automatically. For V2, download the V2 branch.
Note: Requires UI Controller firmware version 42 or greater to enable a custom Web UI.
This Web UI is built using Bootstrap so its mobile-friendly and tablet-friendly. Multiple browser connections are supported. GCode responses are sent via Web Sockets so all browser windows will display the printer responses. GCode commands are sent via the REST API since sending via Web Sockets proved to be unreliable.
- Download and unzip
MP-Select-Mini-Webfrom GitHub. - Point a web browser window to your printer's IP address.
http://IPAddressHereThis is the default Web UI. - Now browse to the upgrade page.
http://IPAddressHere/up - Click the third "Choose file" and select the "webui.html" file from the folder you unzipped earlier.
- Click "Upload web."
- If you see "OK" you are good to go!
- It's recommended you power cycle your printer, but not necessary.
- Once your printer is back online, browse to
http://IPAddressHere. You should now have the upgraded Web UI.
By default the upgraded Web UI will send M563 S6 on each refresh to ensure faster Wi-Fi file uploads are enabled. This setting doesn't persist after the printer had been powered off.
Note: Since S6 is currently broken due to V2 firmware bug the V2 branch uses M563 S5. See V2 branch.
M563 parameters can be values between S2 - S6. Transfers happen over telnet which blocks the sending of any other GCode commands and limits how fast the files can be transfered. The sweet spot seems to be less then 12 MB of GCode. Files larger then that take over 2 minutes to transfer.
| M563 S# | Avg Transfer Speed | Supported On |
|---|---|---|
| S2 | 39 Kbps | Same as Firmware Default |
| S3 | 63 Kbps | V1 / V2 / Delta |
| S4 | 91 Kbps | V1 / V2 / Delta |
| S5 | 103 Kbps | V2 |
| S6 | 112 Kbps | V1 |
While you may want to update the UI of the printer, you don't want the web server on the controller working too hard. This upgrade is designed to minimize the amount of data the web server has to serve. You browser will be doing most of the heavy lifting.
But if you want to use the Web UI without an active Internet connection, delete the webui.html file and rename webui-offline.html to webui.html.
Did something break? Here's how you can undo the Web UI upgrade.
- Turn off the printer. Wait about 10 seconds and then turn it back on.
- Once it's on and connected to Wi-Fi browse to
http://IPAddressHere/up. - Just click the "Upload web" button without choosing a file and this will restore the factory Web UI.
