Do I need an ESP module?

If I assembled the printer myself, would I be able to use the Wi-Fi function? or do I need an ESP module?

There is NO error message. and the Wi-Fi icon is light gray. not full white. why?

First of all no you can use a Raspberry pi with octoprint or prusalink. It's grey because it's not receiving a signal because there is no module. Oh and you get an esp with the printer anyway if you didn't know that.

Please help me out by downloading a model it's free and easy but really helps me out https://www.printables.com/@Hello_474427/models

I don't know what the vote is for, this is a matter of fact. You do need a wifi module, whether you assemble it yourself or not. See https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/wi-fi-and-prusalink-setup-mini-_316781

The Prusa Buddy Board does not have a Wifi module in its original state, so you will need to attach one. An alternative would be to install a Lan/Wlan-capable Raspberry Pi.
