WIFI Network
Press knob to open two-screen Control menu. Turn knob to scroll.
The network function of TINA2S has two connection modes, local mode, and remote mode.
Local mode: In the same local area network, Wiibuilder or Cura on the computer can connect to the 3D printer, and perform remote control or send print files. To use local mode, the 3D printer should be connected to the local WIFI network.
Remote mode: Use our APP, PoloPrint Cloud, remotely control the 3D printer or download the print model. With the remote mode, you can remotely control the 3D printer from any location. To use remote mode, the 3D printer should be connected to the WIFI network and registered with the APP. Notice, a 3D printer can only be registered by one APP account.
**WIFI Info**
Press “WIFI Info” to open the WIFI info screen. It will show the WIFI firmware version, the serial, IP address, AP name, and the connection status of the cloud server.
Before the network is configured, “OFF” and “UNKNOWN” will be displayed.
Only after configuring the network and registering in the APP will the 3D printer connect to the cloud server.
**WIFI QR Code**
Press “WIFI QR Code” to show the QR code generated by the device serial. Used for App scanning networking and cloud access.
**Network Test**
Press “Network Test” to start testing the current network connection and response time.
If the printer encounters network or app-related issues, use this function to check whether the network is properly connected or if the connection speed is too slow.
**Unreg. Cloud**
Press “Unreg. Cloud” to view the instructions for deregistering from the cloud platform.
Please follow the tutorial to complete the operation in the app.
**WIFI Reset**
Every time TINA2S is turned on, it will automatically connect to the WIFI network that was successfully connected to the last time. If you need to connect TINA2 to a new WIFI network, you should execute the reset WIFI setting function to clear the saved WIFI network information.
Print from TF
Shows “.gco” or “.gcode” print files on TF card.
If the correct printer is not selected when using slicer software like Wiibuilder or custom Cura, the generated G-code file will be incompatible with the printer, resulting in an 'incompatible' error message. Make sure to select TINA2S.
Select file and press knob for print info. “Print” starts printing.
To prevent damage, checks machine model in file. Blocks print if model mismatched or missing. Use Wiibuilder or custom Cura version and select correct model when slicing.
NOTE: FILE NAMES ≤20 CHARACTERS TO AVOID DISPLAY ISSUES.
During print, press knob for print settings menu.
**Pause Print**
Pauses print and moves nozzle to pause position. Can resume from pause.
**Stop Print**

Advance K
Advance K (Linear Advance) is a parameter used to optimize extruder pressure control.
It dynamically adjusts the extrusion flow during acceleration and deceleration phases to compensate for material pressure changes inside the nozzle.
This improves surface detail and print quality while reducing issues such as stringing and blobs.
In simple terms, it helps the extrusion keep up with speed changes, especially during rapid accelerations and decelerations.
5.Probe Z Offset
IMPORTANT:
Z OFFSET MICRO-ADJUSTS NOZZLE HEIGHT IN REAL-TIME TO CHANGE GAP:
INCREASE BY 0.2MM IF GAP TOO SMALL (NO EXTRUSION)
GRADUALLY DECREASE IF GAP TOO LARGE (POOR ADHESION)
**Save Printing and Off**
Saves progress, moves to pause position, allows safe power off. Prompts to resume on next power on.
IMPORTANT:
“PAUSE PRINT” AND “SAVE PRINT” TRIGGER HOMING. MECHANICAL ENDSTOP TOLERANCES CAUSE SLIGHT DEVIATION ON EACH HOME, POTENTIAL SEAM/SHIFT AT RESUME POINT.
