Klipper Firmware - Install - 2022 - Chris's Basement

what is the gpio pin for the ender 3 s1 board?

so you can use klipper to change your printer config file to have all the latest features and lets say i want max temp to be 350c, and then use octoprint to print with a higher temp than the old limit?
mind blown.

When entering the password in Putty it keeps saying access denied despite both the user name and password being correct. I can login on Octoprint just fine but not on Putty. Do you have an idea for what is wrong?

Nicely done. Thank you for having a great teaching style.

For what ever reason everytime I try it never creates the /serial/ folder

Trying to get this running on my E3S1, but the firmware file doesn't seem to change to chaps nor the extension to .cur
Seems pretty straight forward the way you explain it, so I'm wondering what I may have done wrong. Any clues on that one?

The thing that had me screwed up for a while was setting USB in the configmenu, it needs to be set to Serial for a creality 4.2.2. I thought it wasn't flashing, but checking the log showed a lot of MCU related errors, recompiled with the serial option and it works now. Great video over all.

🤘Chris you rock 😎If you done it its pretty clear... but before that its really confusing...again this helps sir..i did all this before and totally forgot it....things changed allot..this is video is gold for me

Nice to find this video, great overview, thanks. I've done the Octoprint with a Pi Zero2W on an E3 but would like to try Klipper. I noticed BigTreeTech has created their own board to replace the Raspberry Pi for a Klipper setup. Glad to have bought a few Pi models before the chip shortage fiasco.

i build my own corexy a few months ago running marlin firmware on an btt octopus. i did everything by myself, designing parts all by myself, building the hardware, compiling the software etc. While building, i had in mind switching to klipper one day , mostly to get rid of the ghosting and ringing. But im afraid im not up to the task. This is hella complicated and i dont know why there is no easy way to install software on a raspberry.. its a hassle everytime i have to do something with a pi. thats real nerd territory there and i barely could follow the steps. i might give up before i even start.

i am getting some problems i am able to flash the custom klipper but it seems octoprint refuses to detect it. I was able to revert it back with octoprinter updater. is there anything i could do?

Would love to see you do a marlin vs Klipper video. I've scratch built an I3 and have no clue which way to go.

One could just wedge a 100k resistor into the thermistor connector to spoof a standard thermistor. Or perhaps convince the configuration that there IS no thermistor?

Thank u 🙏🏻

I'm sure it used to be easier years ago to put Klipper on

Hi, can you please make a video on Klipper Config for IDEX system using 2 in 1 out hotend (not mixing)
So there is 4 extruders and 2 nozzles

Does anyone have a printer config for the Anycubic Kobra?

I’ve been following you for years—another great video! Thanks. 🎉

You say a quick google will get you the information. Only if you know what your looking for. Like the GPIO, I have no clue what that is or where to find it. I appreciate the video but its a little hard to follow for a pleb like me.

Hi Chris very good tutorial, but I have two issues now: 1) As I couldn't be able to find the GPIO pins to set, I disabled "extra low level..." and created the file "Creating hex file out/klipper.elf.hex". 2) When I started WinSCP I could see in the pi only three files called klipper but not with the extension BIN, I see klipper.dict, klipper.elf and klipper.elf.hex. Finally which is the file I must rename and put into the pi? That's all for the moment. Thanks a lot! Max

Hi Chris, thanks a lot for all your videos, they are like gold to me. I am building a voron with a raspberrypi and a BTT SKR V1.4. I am trying to find out the GPIO pins to set on the board. Do you know if they are !pc13? Thanks

Great video Chris
Im having an issue finding the microprocessor pin assignments for my BTT SKR V1.4 board with the LPC1768 processor for the bin file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

This is a great tutorial for those of us new to Klipper.
I am building my firmware but have 1 question about GPIO pin setting. I cannot find the correct setting for a BTT E3 V3 board, nor can I find anyone changing this setting.
All the example configs I found leave this setting unchanged?
Any thoughts appreciated,
Thanks !

Chris Do you know can you run Opctoprint and Klipper on the same server. Here is my situation, I have 6 printers running right now on a Linux server, would like to add 2 Klipper Printers to the same server

Thank you for laying out the octoprint way. I have an ender 3v2 and i saw your mainsail video but i have been runnning octoprint for a year with 2 cameras, duckdns and openvpn for remote monitoring and i just feel bad to reset my pi (I am a noob and it took me quite a while to set it up and have everything running). Will I be missing out by staying on octoprint instead of mainsail or fluid ? Thanks a lot you got a sub!

Hi, very easy to follow and well compiled video, i did not see gpio pin set option in the yellow headed box during my install ?

Installed mainsail. Used my previously saved cfg file everything works. Thank You!

22 minute video, 3 hours total time spent being dumb, 30 minutes great success

Hi can you do a vidio of puting klipper on a cr10 smart with marlin on it i have a sonic pad and have problems geting klipper on my printer

Great video Chris. Thanks and keep up... I have one question. I want to use 1 raspberry pi for 2 klipper printers. Is the procedure the same as for the octoprint video you have made?

Thanks!

Thanks, Chris, for the Klipper install video/tutorial. I've been having problems with Octoprint (as you may know) and have been looking into Klipper to fix the issues. Octoprint seems to disconnect my E3V2 whenever I start my Biqu B1 it throws a serial connection timeout error. Will Klipper stop this error from happening? Thanks for the content!

Chris, I've been seeing A LOT of videos pop up about klipper lately and was wondering if it's better than Marlin? I have a Creality cr-6 se with the community firmware loaded. What does klipper do that marlin doesn't? Thx.

Lol on president and Ceo of Chris basement.

It would have been nice to actual see the sample macro page link..

I know I'm late to the video but why Klipper? What does it offer me over the stock Marlin that came with my printer vs the obvious hassle of getting it installed and my printer running correctly. I'm interested in using my 3 year old Anycubic Linear Kossel Delta as a test bed for learning about Klipper. It's currently running Marlin 1.1.18. I'm going to be tearing it apart for a service and I'd really like to upgrade to silent drivers and quieten it down a bit and if I'm going to be flashing firmware then why use Klipper vs Marlin.

BTW, I'm a rich man, I have an unused Raspberry Pi 4 waiting for the project. My RPi 3B is running Octoprint on my new Artillery Sidewinder X2.
Also, since the RPi is as rare and expensive as hens teeth maybe an investigation on the uses of super cheap surplus thin client running Octoprint or other software for print serving.

Where I could find the gpio for a creality 4.2.7 board so I can finish that last step?

Alot better then most but I'm still lost a little like the gpio settings I'm using the creality v2.5.2 boat in cr 10 v3 i have replaced extruder hot end and bed heater just trying to get it all to work

Did I miss the video where you setup the bed leveling to use the stock ended bltouch on the s1 and such?

Hey, Need help I am trying to install this on my Ender 3 Max. I have followed your vid but it doesnt seem to work? Do you have any idea how I can fix this? Thanks

Possible kobra Max ? Thanks

hot end -6c, The new Ice Cream Printer. ;)

On actual serious note, if running Klipper with something not Octoprint does it have time-lapse plugins?

For the GPIO pins to set at MCU startup it sounded like it should be an easy google search to find. I have failed miserably I have an Ender 2 Pro with a Creality V4.2.3 how do I search for the pin?

It is worth mentioning you don't need specifically raspberry pi, nearly any SBC can work, for example I am running Klipper on 10 year old cubieboard2, most popular alternative is orange pi. All you need a semi supported board that has ready image from for example Armbian. Then using Kiauh to automate installation of everything and done.

For whatever reason could not get google pay to work can you add Paypal to your "buy me a coffee" section?

Hi Chris, after searching the web and becoming completely frustrated decide to see if you could help. I am trying to flash the original bin file or factory reset of my ESP8266 but can not find a clear and concise video showing how to do this. Back story I loaded YAML file and somehow the ota password was overwritten and now can not upload new YAML files to the device. Of course I used ESPhome (add on) to HomeAssistant<--ok a bit to much information. Fingers crossed you have some idea how to reset the ESP8266 to it factory settings or how to load the factory bin file back onto the device. Really like the way you explain things and thought maybe you could help. Now to scroll back up and buy you a cup a joe.

I am running Jyers on my ender 3v2 but apparently it is dead atleast for now, so would you recommend Marlin or Klipper for an Ender.

i get a connected to host and firmware version but after adding my boards .cfg and using the serial id from the previous step i am still met with a failure to connect to MCU :(
