    Thats kind of what I figured when there were no positive follow-ups.

    Any advice on connecting to Octoprint? I can't get my computer to connect to it, or even see it on my network. When I try WiFi hotspot, it asks for the API code, and the only thing that comes up is a QR code box, no API code for me to type in.

    I appreciate the help!

    Yes, I am unable to connect by finding it on my network, wifi direct, or through the app.

    I am beginning to regret my purchase - I bought two of these.

    Also, I just found that one of them is missing a bed leveling screw cap. I opened up the bottom compartment to see if it fell off during shipping, but cant find it anywhere.

    Frustrating.

    You have to configure it through the LCD so that it connects to the Wifi and it will then give you the IP address and if you type that IP address into your browser as the web page name it will load up octoprint.
