This guide assumes you’ve already installed and configured Plex to your liking, hosted on Windows. This was tested on Windows 10 Enterprise but should work on any version of Windows 10. I also assume you’re running Plex on the default port, 32400. After this is done, Plex will continue to respond on that same port as well, in addition to 80 so as not to affect any connected apps.
So recently, and by recently I mean around the beginning of the year, I got an upgrade for my 3D printer: an auto bed-leveling kit.
