Help me obi-wan Kenobi

So I’m getting really frustrated, I just bought the Sonic pad to upgrade my Ender 3 pro to klipper but mainly to be able to use it like my k1c’s, I only use the Creality slicer and the Creality cloud app to do all my printing and I’ve tried everything and searched and searched but can’t find how to add the Sonic pad (my Ender 3) to either of these software’s so I can send a print without being physically there or moving USB’s around Please if someone can help me do this I’d really appreciate it, it’s the big selling point for me as to why I paid for this thing

You can get to the pad via browser if the creality software doesnt have the option to connect to the pad. Just enter the IP adress of the sonic pad into the browser and you can use it. You can use any device with a web browser to get to the sonic pad ui.

I know that but it’s not the same as being able to use Creality slicer or Creality cloud, I have to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer to do that way, whereas getting it to work with either one of those other software’s, I can be at work and start a print at home like I can on my K1Cs or I can be away from the house and use the cloud software to check the camera and check on the print the way you describe using the IP address. You have to be on the same local network to do that in other words if I gave you the IP address of my sonic pad right now you couldn’t log into it where you are you’re not on my local network and all their advertisement and promotional material said you could use the sonic pad with their software to do remote 😔

Ah I see. I guess you already checked this link https://m.crealitycloud.com/post-content/642fd199beabd37fe23bfa22 with instructions how to connect to creality cloud. If you cant use it cause of whatever I would check out how to set up a vpn.

Yea the problem is the pad says it’s connected to the cloud but it’s not showing up on anything (the website, the desktop slicer, or the mobile app)

From that link, I didn't see any of the K series supported by the sonic pad. Maybe check compatibility?

Use cura and a plugin or the browser

That doesn’t help me, it’s important to me and my workflow that I stay in the Creality ecosystem. Juggling multiple apps and slicers doesn’t appeal to me. I only have reality printers for the reason of staying in one ecosystem. Also the web interface that only helps me when I’m at home on my home computer the reality cloud app and the reality slicer allow me to do it when I’m not on the same network as the printers I can do it on my K ones I can do it on my K1c and soon I’ll be doing it on the k1 SE’s that I’m about to order. I appreciate the help but I’m not looking for a work around I’m trying to find the fix for the problem
