This video was amazing. The point you made about increasing profits by increasing output is absolutely correct. I run 20 ender 3s for my business and was going to phase out the i3 design for a Corexy machine and klipper. I realized klipper is the real reason for the speed increase and made the upgrade to all of my ender 3s and kept them. I print 100% faster now on klipper and has made me very happy business owner! I saved so much money by going to klipper. Never going back to Marlin
I hate it when people don’t reply! Great question!!! It’s great to see such a difference in speed however, what I want, is the highest quality at the highest speed and that might not be 100% faster but I’ll take 50% faster at a much higher quality…
Wonderful video sir. I love tinkering, so klipper has been a welcome addition. about 12 of my printers are on klipper, and most of them are cheap i3's. The value of a $49 open box ender 3 pro, with a microswiss metal hotend + a CHT high flow nozzle is insane. I've found with converting to pei sheets from glass beds, running wheel tension on the light side just enough for no play, and a little extra stepper current, they can print reliably at 5k accelerations with up to 1kg on the bed. Adding the CHT nozzle is the hands down best way to add a ton of extrusion performance with no extra machine modifications. Reliability has seemingly improved as well, I have a few klipper enders that run on the ragged edge of speed/accel with thousands of hours now with no needed maintenance besides bed cleaning. They've been going so long that they are missing so many current version Klipper/fluid features its almost annoying, however if it aint broke, don't fix it lmao
huge thanks for this easy to understand showcase I'm a long time Marlin user and I've wanted to better understand other options I just watched video from a bearded bald guy who thinks he's the DJ Khaled of 3d printing and learned nothing, this video really cleared everything out
Great video! I am loving Klipper. It was awesome to see the realistic comparison with stock Marlin and Klipper with just default budget printer hardware. It is a question I have gotten quite a few times over the past year. This definitely took time to create both on the film and testing side. Awesome job brotha!
Thanks a lot, man - so nice you stopped by and left a comment! Yup, that was a lot of time for this video - also because the initial plan for this video was completely different to what I uploaded in the end :-)
Another key thing that increases productivity, that isn't directly related to how fast the machine can operate, is having a web accessible UI. If you're printing a lot, the time saved from not having to move files to and from physical storage media adds up.
Freaking nice 10min overview of this OS. I didn't know about the other channels either. I thought Klipper was only for xy core systems. But know I might take a look at this Klipper OS for my Bed slinger as well. Excellent report👌. Keep it up pal 😎👍
Klipper is my go to firmware any time I build a new machine. The ability to update the config over WiFi without having to deal with Arduino is so nice. Great video. Definitely justifies putting Klipper on cheap or old machines
Amazing video! This took a ton of time, and you nailed what matters. I love pushing my machines and klipper allows for some fun prints. I was able to get the KP3S printing reasonably at 10k accel, with an H2 and linear railed Z
@@Nitram_3d Yeah. I waited all too long to do it after hearing bad experiences with the old fat throat style and PLA. But I didn't get any real flow benefits. PA & quality improvement, unlocking new materials, and convenience of not having to fight with PTFE are all excellent tho!
Thank you for sharing. Well presented, enguaging ,enjoyable to watch. Learned a bunch about Firmware differences today. Will look into Klipper for my next printer. Worth watching
9:12 "On the other hand, reading, trying, and succeeding with new topics is fun in the end right?" I was almost expecting a "that's why I love Curiosity Stream" sponsorship after that sentence 🤣💀
One of the few videos that correctly calls all those printers what they really are - Ender clones =) Like for me just for that. All other info is on point as well.
You mentioned that you calibrate minimum layer time/cooling and minimum print speed. I would be interested in the procedure as I tried to wrap my head around this already but have no idea for a systematic approach. Input shaping and pressure advance are calibrated, acceleration and square corner velocity are tuned. The next step is to optimize cooling to improve print time for small parts. By the way I'm using a modded ender 3 (CHT nozzle) so flow rate is the least of my problems 😅
You basically have to print models consecutively increasing/decreasing the settings you are tuning on each run, and going with the lowest/highest you find quality acceptable
I use the Benchy Hull without infill and top solid for the layer time and something small and potinted for minimum speed (iteratively). But I also still don't have a (good) idea for systematic approach other than that :/
I have been shopping for a new 3D printer to replace my reliable workhorse bed slinger. I assumed I'd get a Creality K1 Max for the improved print quality, speed increase (maybe 2X as opposed to the 12X from Creality marketing), and a return to an enclosed machine to print ABS again. As of a few days ago, after doing more research, I'm now inclined to stay with a bed slinger but get a Klipper machine. The bed slingers are inexpensive, reliable, easy to use and easy to maintain. Klipper has greatly improved them, even though our focus on Klipper has been on core XY machines. My only regret would be not being able to print in ABS, but I'll convert my ABS designs to PETG to print on a non-enclosed bed slinger, or maybe I'll make an enclosure that I can use with a bed slinger when I want to print ABS. I'm currently waiting on a good Klipper bed slinger with a 300 mm cube build volume. It seemed inevitable, and I heard a rumor that one is currently being evaluated by a TH-cam reviewer.
It's really bad that klipper still does not allow separate x and y accelerations even with 2 separately developed pull requests and numerous discussions on github, discourse, reddit, discord, etc. Lately they also broke the limited_cartesian code that Piezo developed, so I've gone back to marlin. If I can get 15k on X and 8k on Y and I'm printing a thin object (ex. airfoil), I'll take the speed boost over Klipper features every time.
Great video, very useful to see the what to expect when upgrading. The new Marlin supports input shaping, would be interesting to see how it stacks up against Klipper as well.
Your artillery hornet is printing mirrored on the X axis. You could set the homing direction to "max" instead of "min", just like the voron switchwire.
Thanks a lot and congrats: You found one of the easter eggs in this video :-) Just kidding: I realized it only when doing the editing of that video :-)
Hi würdest du klipper bei ein Turnigy Fabrikator empfehlen? Es hat arduino mega 2560 mit ramps 1.4 als Mainboard. Und hat 12V psu falls das eine Rolle spielt. Würde mich sehr über Rückmeldung freuen! LG aus dem Bundesland Österreich @@247printing

Nice comparative. I would like see in more deepth about the bed slinger accelerations vs printer mods. I've seen people talking about how stiffer springs, changing the tension on the belts and reinforcing the frame have changed the values but hardly anyone has shown the results.
Great video, definitely a strong and compelling reason to try klipper.. Im discovering though that you can tweak firmware and hardware all you want its the slicer that makes or breaks your print.. configuration for specific filaments and profiles now THAT is a reading/comprehension nightmare and also, where I have the most difficulty. Unfortunately I learn more from seeing than reading
This was a great video! You exactly pointed out what I was experiencing the last week. I got an ender 3 v2 with direct drive conversion, 2 big radial part cooling fans and a dragonfly bms hotend. klipper improved my print time about 100%. Its really crazy seeing this ender 3 move at such accelerations and speeds. didnt wanna buy a pi for too much money, so I put PI OS into a VM on my laptop and its working great. it was some work, getting input shaping right without the sensor etc but it was absolutly worth it. klipper is so much better. I also used my old galaxy s6 as a screen with KlipperScreen.
@@alejandroperez5368 I cannot tell you what Iam printing(hence its illegal), but I can ensure you that the parts are very functional and working under high stress.
I'm not as driven by speed for klipper as I am tired of making changes, compiling code, said compiling failing, fixing errors, recompiling, flashing printer, testing out changes, making more changes, recompiling code... you get the idea. Klipper allows for rapid changes and even allows for input shaping and pressure advance settings on the fly, even without the bits and bods to do it 100% correctly. Marlin just isn't that quick and dirty. You can do it, but the latest flavor of Marlin seems to have a lot more checks and balances built in, most of which won't cause any damage to your printer. I can't tell you how many times I've had compiling fail, cryptic error messages just to take out changes to make it compile. I have an Ender 3 that I have been messing with Klipper on and I'm looking at my other running printers just because I like being able to change Klipper, test it out, change it back if I don't like the results, all in about the time it takes to copy firmware to an sd card...not true, but you get the idea.
Absolutely, that's one of the strongest pros of Klipper also for me. When I started with FDM and "printers as projects" back in 2017 I chose Smoothieware, because the processes involved with Marlin drove me insane.
While Klipper can of course can not change the hardware limitations of your printer, like max volumetric flow and cooling, with klipper you actually can now make use of already existing good solutions. For example a Bondtech CHT boost up your volumetric flow without any further hardware modification. Just a change of nozzle. Also there is a cool cooling solution called "Berd-Air" to improve cooling. With upgrading to Klipper the next upgrades follow eventually...
We're discovering that even single board printers can manage input shaping and higher speeds, since new 32-bit boards have much more power than is utilized by Marlin. The extra computation uses a bit more energy, but not as much as tethering a Raspberry Pi. So, older printers can benefit greatly from a firmware upgrade with no change to the hardware. Upcoming versions of Marlin will include more advanced time-based motion and input shaping contributed by Ulendo, providing even better results with no change in electronics. So the future is looking bright and speedy for all legacy printers!
Excellent video! I agree! the marketing for these new 3D printers are misleading, yes the print head moves faster but you have to lower the layer height to compensate. I can actually print faster with a slower moving print head and my usual layer heights. The input shaping with the accelerometer could be game changing I will definitely explore this in the future.
Honestly a lovely, informative video. Keep doing what you're doing, I couldn't help but feel suprised your subs don't match quality of information I was given with this video.
For some reason I thought that klipper was something meant for high end printers...Well that was until I learned about macros. It was delightfully easy and simple to install and get running.
i have a question so i have my first printer but i need to know will this void my warranty and if so is it worth voiding my warranty because if this printer break i can't afford to get a new one
This was a VERY informative video, thank you... I just bought an Ender 3 V2 Neo on sale and its my first printer. As a rookie in this, what do you recomend me ? Not install anything extra and use the printer as is, install Octoprint, Klipper or OctoKlipper ?
Thank you! Didn’t find a perfect generic procedure for that, but I use sth pointed for min print speed and something fast with overhangs for layer time (hull of a benchy with low infill)
Why is the acceleration of the KP3S limited to 4000mm^2/s? How do you come up with this value? I set mine to 20000mm2^s when i was printing a benchy quick (9:20 for a „meh“-benchy). How do i know where the limit is? Cool video nonetheless :)
Thanks! As you said: „Meh Benchy“. The goal was to compare the gains in print time at the same print quality before and after Klipper. Otherwise all this wouldn’t make sense. Of course you can go at the absolute limit and print ugly benchy shaped objects at the speedboatrace. I also do this, but that wad not the goal of this test. It should be usable
@@247printing Ahh i see. Still i am wondering how you came up with the 4000. Trial and error oder hast du einfach geschätzt? Danke für die schnelle Antwort übrigens. Habe extra youtube geöffnet um zu schauen ob du geantwortet hast :)
Is there any good documentation/video out there describing how to find minimum layer time/print speeds? Because it's the biggest issue I struggle with...
You found a weak point here: I just do it this way (that's the third video I used this method), but I never explained exactly how I do it and why it works. I don't know of any source that explains it. My simple method (that works so far): Print something pointed for min. print speed and print something fast with overhangs for min layer time (Benchy hull without infill). There might definitely be better or cleverer ways for that...
Nice video, very good research and information, you condensed dozens of hours of work in just ten minutes. The visual quality and resolution of the video shots are superb (e.g. 4:46). Thanks!
@@247printing i been looking at pi alternatives since i commented. i found a few great choices. between $40 - $90. the CB1 looks good except 1GB ram isn't enough for a modern computer. i want 4GB minimum. since its not something you can upgrade later if you need to like a desktop i cant willingly buy a SBC with 1GB ram. Ram is essential to performance. too little and it bogs down everything. too much and you just have wiggle room. no frustration there. i been waiting so long to get a CM4 with 8gb ram and wifi but its been scalped to death. the brand is basically dead at this point. but i hope it can recover.
Have you tested a lk5 pro I have one and ordered a second since it was cheap and I’m wondering what I could do to make it faster anything over 100mm I get zits but it prints so I might upgrade from cura and see if that helps
Dear God, thats grazy speed up. My long term project is using klipper, will be interesting to see how self designed 3d printer will perform against stock factory made ones.
Recently switched to Klipper on my Artillery Sidewinder X2 and I'm loving it so far. Do you have a process you use to calibrate your minimum layer time, maybe a gcode file or cura script you use?
@@pietrom2642 The volcano hotend of the X2 can comfortable extrude a flow of 25mm/s^3. You could conceivably crank your speed up to 350mm/s with a 0.4 nozzle at 0.2m layer height. I usually print at around 200mm/s with 3K acceleration, but I'm going to play with those numbers more when I get input shaper set up.
Does klipper automatically suggest and implement the faster print speeds or do you have to take its test results and input them manually into each print?
Well you were certainly correct we were going to see Klipper on more and more printers out of the box! The gains we see are even more impressive than you got in this video as well.
great video ! love it, I run klipper too on a ender 3 and it's a beast ! I do print with esun pla+ with a orbiter 2.0 DD and a E3Dv6 but I've got a lot of small stringing, do you have printing seting to avoid thoses ? like retraction speed or retraction lenght ? thanks a lot !
Klipper was marketed incorrectly - at least for me. I had been told many times that its faster, that didn't interest me because I was dabbling in 32 bit boards and I could get plenty of speed out of Marlin. In reality it is vastly undermarketed and undersold at how much simpler and easier it is to work with. And its for this fact that i'm ditching Marlin across the board, not for the speed But I disagree that Klippers documentation is fantastic. I find it rather poor because it doesn't really explain a lot of the 'why' and 'how' to set things up. It desperately needs short summaries and what to use, why you'd use it, and how to implement it correctly. Beyond just listing the commands and describing what the feature is. It's actually quite painful setting up Klipper on custom printers that have a mish-mash of components. It could also benefit massively from a direct partnership with Mainsail to include it in the installation and take some of the pain out of installation on systems other than an official raspberry pi (Kiauh on github helps immensely with this) That said, once you do get it setup and working. It is enormously immensely better to fine-tune from that point on, try new features, make adjustments etc. Marlin is an absolute pain in the ass in comparison. And that - to me at least - is how Klipper should predominantly be pitched, it's so much friendlier and easier to actually work with and expand upon. If they could polish and make it easier to get your head around and get up and running with it, then it would be a very easy win that would completely push marlin out of the market. Speed is nice, convenience is far nicer
Actually, even with a bigger nozzle, cooling still is the issue on many prints. Also it depends on the objects, if it is OK to use a bigger nozzle. On the other hand, klipper might some upgrades profiable: To increase flow of the hotend, just use a bondtech cht nozzle. For cooling, you might try Berd Air. Two easy and cheap upgrades which can push the limits of your printer a lot
@@alejandroperez5368 More plastic in the same time needs more air in the same time to get the same(!) cooling! If you print faster, the airflow from the part cooler on the printhead touches the part a shorter time - so you have to increase airflow to get the same(!) cooling. You can increase airflow on the printhead (Berd Air) or an auxilary fan (like the X1 carbon does). With 4-times the speed (or to phrase it more precise: 1/4th overall printtime) you need 4-times of airflow for the same(!) cooling.
Thank you very much! You inspired me to switch from Marlin to Klipper on my Artillery Hornet. I also tuned input shaping using the ADXL345 sensor obtaining amazing results on the ringing tower model! However I am now finding some difficulties on bringing high speed onto "normal" prints, despite no problems on the ringing tower. I am currently trying to print at around 90 mm/s and max accel set to 3000 with poor results (usually, some of the final layers won't extrude anymore or extrude badly with visible holes). Do you, by any chance, remember which settings you used for speed/acceleration on the hornet? Thank a lot and keep doing that!!
What really matters is whether you can use the part just printed! How can input shaping speed up the print when it slows down the start and stop inertia?
Yup, it's 2024 and we're printing perfectly usable parts at high quality 2-4 times faster thanks to input shaping which is used widely since 2019. Welcome to the future ;-) "(...) slows down the start and stop inertia?" Please elaborate on this, that's not the case.
I use the Benchy Hull without infill and top solid for the layer time and something small and potinted for minimum speed (iteratively). But I also still don't have a (good) idea for systematic approach other than that :/ As soon as I have, there might be a video.
I have tuned input shaper and linear advance inside marlin and I have been able to increase my acceleration to 3000 from 600 and double the print speed, without loss of quality
Could you send me a download link for your Biqu B1 kipper firmware & Prusa Configuration? I have constant issues getting my Biqu B1 to function especially with a probe. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
There is a pretty good fan duct mod on thingyverse for the hornet that replaces the entire head shell and directs the air flow directly on the very tip of the extruder.
Great video. I've been thinking about making the switch to Klipper. Tired of recompiling to add or remove a feature... I also like to go fast. if you aint first yer last.
For acceleration bound moves, time cost of the move doesn't scale inversely with acceleration but inversely with the square root of acceleration. You need 4x the acceleration to halve print time. (This isn't quite true because moves start at nonzero junction velocity, but it's still close.) This is why the giant boosts to acceleration, while they help a lot, don't give you the proportional time saving you might expect.
Yup, simple math for that, when isolating the gains by increased acceleration for certain geometries. As it is complex as a whole and concerning realistic/different geometries, it's more of a statistical topic. In this case here we had 6x to 8x the acceleration, up to doubled the print speed and carefully optimized retracts/z-moves in comparison to the baseline and managed achieve a max of half of the print time.
@@247printing Yep, the gains will be less if you're already reaching cruise at the lower accel or somewhere in between. Only if you can increase max speed by the square root of the accel factor at the same time would you expect the full scaling, and that's still not accounting for retraction times.
I added a sonic pad to my Ender 3v2 and Ender 3s1, but I am having a hard time finding resourced to tweek them to get max speed with good quality. Do you have any resources to share?
I myself have Klipper running on 6 of my printers. I would be curious to know if you would be willing to share your printer.cfg file for your Fokoos, to see how it compares to the one I setup and am running. Also wanted to say excellent video by the way comparing Klipper to the stock firmware's of these machine's.
I have a small 3D printing business with a few Ender 3 V2s, by changing to klipper, replacing to mosquito hotends / phaetus and upgrading cooling Im printing 6x faster with better quality prints then Marlin ever gave me, on my bowden tube I print on 300mm/s 7k accelration flawless prints, on my DD I print on 200mm/s and 4.5k accel, klipper just blew my mind!
This is a great Video and shows how I can squeeze some more oomph out of my aging Biqu B1. Would you recommend just getting it hooked up to a Sonic Pad?
Hello have the sonic pad and been looking to hook up to FOKOOS Odin 3 with no way to understand how to flash the board no info on internet is their any way to get the info or step by step cause I’ve been looking for a month already driving me crazy
Awesome comparison, Thanks, would you be willing to share the config for the hornet machine. I already flashed mine . but would benefit immensely from you knowledge Thanks
Awesome video. I would love to try klipper out, however, I only have a Monoprice Select Mini V2 and I am not sure Klipper will work on it. Any advice on this subject?
Thank you for helping me to understand just how much of a boost I can really receive from moving to klipper. Are you planning a video on the Klipper pads that are showing up? and what about the Y axes when using it on a bedslinger? I saw the accelerometer on the X axes. How does that work?
I'm relatively new to tuning a printer, is there a guide you recommend that covers and explains all the steps that you go through when tuning a printer?
Hey 247- I want to make a Voron 0.1 like yours, with the 1000mm/s n stuff. Did you use a kit? If so and if not, which do you recommend to get to convert into your super fast voron (which I personally dub the Rocket Box.

@@bernardtarver What’s your point, Sherlock? I don’t sell Klipper😉 Use/compile what ever you prefer. Btw.: Klipper runs on Tablets, PCs, Smartphones etc. I used a very old mini PC on Linux, not worth 30 bucks, to control ALL of the four printers conveniently. RPI is not necessary.
@@247printing Do you read your comments? You indeed are selling people on Klipper. Plus, do you not understand that you need some type of overhead (e.g., proverbial Linux box or a $200 PI board) to run Klipper?
OK after reading numerous test about setting up Klipper for Printers I do not own, FINALLY a video on just howe good is the end result. I heard 2X faster, limited by cooling. Then I thought about that, WAIT. A bigger Fan and custom cooling ducts can ne bought and printed for next to Cheap. What stopped you from going the extra 10 yards, 3 meters whatever to actually chase the best you can get from Klipper with a little help. I am all for the new science the is allowed to come into play. But why hangchuff it by saying you can't change anything else. In my case I have a 3 year old CR 10S Pro V1 with upgrades, Pi 4 with Octoprint, Microswiss DD and Hot end, BL Touch, Z azis Struts and Garolite Bed. OK Now I am still printing at 60 mm/s and I still mess up layer one and my parts take forever to complete. So $140 to add Pad 7, My support guy says 2 ours for $100 he can set up right. Then we get into the what's next: Hotter and Faster Hot end, Better part cooling, Linear Rails X & Y No that adds up yes but you can space it out and say in 6 months have a better machine. How much better, frequency of layer 1 failures, Speed to print, Quality of finished part how many rejects, reprints? I even get my Corvette tuned by a specialist just to get a few extra Horsepowers And he costs $500. So why not Invest in the old boy, I Like it and if it was more reliable, cleaner prints and faster That is a big plus. What do you think? 1st Pad 7, 2nd Cooliing fan and duct, 3rd Faster Hot End, 4th Linear rails. 1st $240 with tune, 2nd $60, 3rd $200 guess, 4th $200 estimate. So $520 for the whole mess and what will you have. Your 3 year old Bed Slinger now 4 years old Printing twice as fast if not more, Zero failed Prints, Never need to reprint, 2 parts in the time of one before. Less waste in material and time. Only Option is $1,000 or more and that would be a Core XY with an enclosure. Unless you can lighten the bed on the 10S Pro you are limited, But with the technology Klipper brings to the printer You are not leaving much behind. My thoughts, what are yours???
I still haven't reached the point where my Klipper prints are to the same quality as my stock prints, but I'm determined to get everything dialed in because I do believe in the promise of what it brings to the table.

Marlin 2.1.2 has experimental input shaping, so never say never :)
Nice. Except your parts are now WEAKER. As printing faster requires more cooling = poorer layer adhesion.
I had planned to do some similar tests with my printer (Fokoos Odin-5 F3) but you've already done all the hard work. Thank you, great summary!
Thank you so much Bart! I'll enjoy two nice Leberkäse-Semmels with your gift :-)
Wonderful video sir.
I love tinkering, so klipper has been a welcome addition. about 12 of my printers are on klipper, and most of them are cheap i3's.
The value of a $49 open box ender 3 pro, with a microswiss metal hotend + a CHT high flow nozzle is insane. I've found with converting to pei sheets from glass beds, running wheel tension on the light side just enough for no play, and a little extra stepper current, they can print reliably at 5k accelerations with up to 1kg on the bed. Adding the CHT nozzle is the hands down best way to add a ton of extrusion performance with no extra machine modifications.
Reliability has seemingly improved as well, I have a few klipper enders that run on the ragged edge of speed/accel with thousands of hours now with no needed maintenance besides bed cleaning. They've been going so long that they are missing so many current version Klipper/fluid features its almost annoying, however if it aint broke, don't fix it lmao

@@Nitram_3d Yeah. I waited all too long to do it after hearing bad experiences with the old fat throat style and PLA. But I didn't get any real flow benefits. PA & quality improvement, unlocking new materials, and convenience of not having to fight with PTFE are all excellent tho!

nice video brother ! well done. Klipper FTW !!
Thanks a lot Simon! So nice you stopped by. Congrats to 20k btw. - very well deserved!
@@247printing i watch every video you make man. You are my favorite voice on youtube haha
One of the few videos that correctly calls all those printers what they really are - Ender clones =)
Like for me just for that. All other info is on point as well.
you do realise the ender is itself a clone?
You mentioned that you calibrate minimum layer time/cooling and minimum print speed.
I would be interested in the procedure as I tried to wrap my head around this already but have no idea for a systematic approach.
Input shaping and pressure advance are calibrated, acceleration and square corner velocity are tuned. The next step is to optimize cooling to improve print time for small parts.
By the way I'm using a modded ender 3 (CHT nozzle) so flow rate is the least of my problems 😅
You basically have to print models consecutively increasing/decreasing the settings you are tuning on each run, and going with the lowest/highest you find quality acceptable
I use the Benchy Hull without infill and top solid for the layer time and something small and potinted for minimum speed (iteratively). But I also still don't have a (good) idea for systematic approach other than that :/
I have been shopping for a new 3D printer to replace my reliable workhorse bed slinger. I assumed I'd get a Creality K1 Max for the improved print quality, speed increase (maybe 2X as opposed to the 12X from Creality marketing), and a return to an enclosed machine to print ABS again. As of a few days ago, after doing more research, I'm now inclined to stay with a bed slinger but get a Klipper machine. The bed slingers are inexpensive, reliable, easy to use and easy to maintain. Klipper has greatly improved them, even though our focus on Klipper has been on core XY machines. My only regret would be not being able to print in ABS, but I'll convert my ABS designs to PETG to print on a non-enclosed bed slinger, or maybe I'll make an enclosure that I can use with a bed slinger when I want to print ABS. I'm currently waiting on a good Klipper bed slinger with a 300 mm cube build volume. It seemed inevitable, and I heard a rumor that one is currently being evaluated by a TH-cam reviewer.
It's really bad that klipper still does not allow separate x and y accelerations even with 2 separately developed pull requests and numerous discussions on github, discourse, reddit, discord, etc.
Lately they also broke the limited_cartesian code that Piezo developed, so I've gone back to marlin.
If I can get 15k on X and 8k on Y and I'm printing a thin object (ex. airfoil), I'll take the speed boost over Klipper features every time.
Great video, very useful to see the what to expect when upgrading. The new Marlin supports input shaping, would be interesting to see how it stacks up against Klipper as well.
Your artillery hornet is printing mirrored on the X axis. You could set the homing direction to "max" instead of "min", just like the voron switchwire.
Thanks a lot and congrats: You found one of the easter eggs in this video :-) Just kidding: I realized it only when doing the editing of that video :-)

Hi würdest du klipper bei ein Turnigy Fabrikator empfehlen? Es hat arduino mega 2560 mit ramps 1.4 als Mainboard. Und hat 12V psu falls das eine Rolle spielt. Würde mich sehr über Rückmeldung freuen! LG aus dem Bundesland Österreich @@247printing
@@247printinghi würdest du klipper auf dem alten Drucker Turnigy Fabrikator (Arduino mega 2560 ramps 1.4 als Mainboard und 12v netzteil).
Bisschen Kontext: Hab da das aktuellste marlin drauf laufen und hab es gemodded damit ich ein pei druckbett haben kann. Der Drucker ist uralt aber schneller als mein neuer. Und ich habe einen alten thin Client (AMD E450) aus Windows 7 Zeiten rumliegen der extrem schlecht ist mit einem niedrigeren single core benchmarkwert als raspberry pi. Linux mit Desktop läuft eher langsam aber ohne Desktop Environment mit mehr RAM könnte ein Versuch wert sein. Mir geht's hauptsächlich darum, ob der Drucker an sich klipper betreiben kann oder eher keine gute Idee? Das mit dem thin Client wäre ein Versuch dem Gerät neues Leben einzuhauchen

Nice comparative. I would like see in more deepth about the bed slinger accelerations vs printer mods. I've seen people talking about how stiffer springs, changing the tension on the belts and reinforcing the frame have changed the values but hardly anyone has shown the results.
You can watch some of my videos at high acceleration without any mods to the Ender 3 motion system.
That would be very interesting indeed!
Great video, definitely a strong and compelling reason to try klipper.. Im discovering though that you can tweak firmware and hardware all you want its the slicer that makes or breaks your print.. configuration for specific filaments and profiles now THAT is a reading/comprehension nightmare and also, where I have the most difficulty. Unfortunately I learn more from seeing than reading
This was a great video! You exactly pointed out what I was experiencing the last week. I got an ender 3 v2 with direct drive conversion, 2 big radial part cooling fans and a dragonfly bms hotend. klipper improved my print time about 100%. Its really crazy seeing this ender 3 move at such accelerations and speeds. didnt wanna buy a pi for too much money, so I put PI OS into a VM on my laptop and its working great. it was some work, getting input shaping right without the sensor etc but it was absolutly worth it. klipper is so much better. I also used my old galaxy s6 as a screen with KlipperScreen.
You may be printing twice as fast, but your parts are also weaker. Do you print functional parts or just decorative stuff?
@@alejandroperez5368 I cannot tell you what Iam printing(hence its illegal), but I can ensure you that the parts are very functional and working under high stress.
@@gehtsienixan4442 I command you to tell me what it is you're printing. Dildos ?
I'm not as driven by speed for klipper as I am tired of making changes, compiling code, said compiling failing, fixing errors, recompiling, flashing printer, testing out changes, making more changes, recompiling code... you get the idea. Klipper allows for rapid changes and even allows for input shaping and pressure advance settings on the fly, even without the bits and bods to do it 100% correctly. Marlin just isn't that quick and dirty. You can do it, but the latest flavor of Marlin seems to have a lot more checks and balances built in, most of which won't cause any damage to your printer. I can't tell you how many times I've had compiling fail, cryptic error messages just to take out changes to make it compile. I have an Ender 3 that I have been messing with Klipper on and I'm looking at my other running printers just because I like being able to change Klipper, test it out, change it back if I don't like the results, all in about the time it takes to copy firmware to an sd card...not true, but you get the idea.
Absolutely, that's one of the strongest pros of Klipper also for me. When I started with FDM and "printers as projects" back in 2017 I chose Smoothieware, because the processes involved with Marlin drove me insane.
While Klipper can of course can not change the hardware limitations of your printer, like max volumetric flow and cooling, with klipper you actually can now make use of already existing good solutions. For example a Bondtech CHT boost up your volumetric flow without any further hardware modification. Just a change of nozzle.
Also there is a cool cooling solution called "Berd-Air" to improve cooling.
With upgrading to Klipper the next upgrades follow eventually...
Wonderful Video for the Starters
Thank you very much, mate!
We're discovering that even single board printers can manage input shaping and higher speeds, since new 32-bit boards have much more power than is utilized by Marlin. The extra computation uses a bit more energy, but not as much as tethering a Raspberry Pi. So, older printers can benefit greatly from a firmware upgrade with no change to the hardware. Upcoming versions of Marlin will include more advanced time-based motion and input shaping contributed by Ulendo, providing even better results with no change in electronics. So the future is looking bright and speedy for all legacy printers!
Excellent video! I agree! the marketing for these new 3D printers are misleading, yes the print head moves faster but you have to lower the layer height to compensate. I can actually print faster with a slower moving print head and my usual layer heights. The input shaping with the accelerometer could be game changing I will definitely explore this in the future.
Honestly a lovely, informative video. Keep doing what you're doing, I couldn't help but feel suprised your subs don't match quality of information I was given with this video.
Wow, thank you so much - I had goosebumps reading this :-)
Awesome video!
Cheers for summarizing so much!
Thanks a lot Haensel (und Gretel auch)!
For some reason I thought that klipper was something meant for high end printers...Well that was until I learned about macros. It was delightfully easy and simple to install and get running.
Super interesting! Thanks for the analysis. Oh goodness, one more rabbit hole to go down. There are too many in this hobby/industry!
Well made video! I'm on the fence but will likely take a plunge into Klipper in the near future.
i have a question so i have my first printer but i need to know will this void my warranty and if so is it worth voiding my warranty because if this printer break i can't afford to get a new one
I have an artillery hornet can you please share the settings that you used for your hornet so we can use them? Thank you
very good (and useful) comparison!
THANKS for the video. I have one Hornet and three Odins. PLUS a few PI. SO I will experiment eventually!!
Thank you! Hornet and Odin were both very easy to install Klipper!
If I was you: DO IT!
Just one question. The LCD screen included in the Artillery Hornet is supported by Klipper? thanks in advance.
Short answer, AFAIK: Yes
@@247printing thanks for such an immediate response!
This was a VERY informative video, thank you... I just bought an Ender 3 V2 Neo on sale and its my first printer. As a rookie in this, what do you recomend me ? Not install anything extra and use the printer as is, install Octoprint, Klipper or OctoKlipper ?
Great Video, how can i determine layer time and min print speed of my printer?
Thank you! Didn’t find a perfect generic procedure for that, but I use sth pointed for min print speed and something fast with overhangs for layer time (hull of a benchy with low infill)
Why is the acceleration of the KP3S limited to 4000mm^2/s? How do you come up with this value? I set mine to 20000mm2^s when i was printing a benchy quick (9:20 for a „meh“-benchy). How do i know where the limit is?
Cool video nonetheless :)
* its meant to say mm/s^2 obviously 🙄
Thanks! As you said: „Meh Benchy“. The goal was to compare the gains in print time at the same print quality before and after Klipper. Otherwise all this wouldn’t make sense. Of course you can go at the absolute limit and print ugly benchy shaped objects at the speedboatrace. I also do this, but that wad not the goal of this test. It should be usable
@@247printing Ahh i see. Still i am wondering how you came up with the 4000. Trial and error oder hast du einfach geschätzt?
Danke für die schnelle Antwort übrigens. Habe extra youtube geöffnet um zu schauen ob du geantwortet hast :)
Is there any good documentation/video out there describing how to find minimum layer time/print speeds? Because it's the biggest issue I struggle with...
You found a weak point here: I just do it this way (that's the third video I used this method), but I never explained exactly how I do it and why it works. I don't know of any source that explains it. My simple method (that works so far): Print something pointed for min. print speed and print something fast with overhangs for min layer time (Benchy hull without infill). There might definitely be better or cleverer ways for that...
@@247printing Interesting, I'll try that, thanks!
Nice video, very good research and information, you condensed dozens of hours of work in just ten minutes. The visual quality and resolution of the video shots are superb (e.g. 4:46). Thanks!
needing a raspberry pi makes this a very expensive upgrade.
i need a alternative single board computer.
True, but check out BigTreeTech's CB1. And... let's hope those prices go lower soon. (Even though a sufficient PI3 is quite affordable on Ebay).
@@247printing i been looking at pi alternatives since i commented. i found a few great choices. between $40 - $90.
the CB1 looks good except 1GB ram isn't enough for a modern computer. i want 4GB minimum. since its not something you can upgrade later if you need to like a desktop i cant willingly buy a SBC with 1GB ram.
Ram is essential to performance. too little and it bogs down everything. too much and you just have wiggle room. no frustration there.
i been waiting so long to get a CM4 with 8gb ram and wifi but its been scalped to death. the brand is basically dead at this point. but i hope it can recover.
Have you tested a lk5 pro I have one and ordered a second since it was cheap and I’m wondering what I could do to make it faster anything over 100mm I get zits but it prints so I might upgrade from cura and see if that helps
Never heard of this printer - which brand is this? 100mm/s is quite fast though 👍
@@247printing it says it can handle up to 180mms so 100 is kinda slow I got it on eBay used for 170$ so I’m not complaining
Longer lk5 pro
Dear God, thats grazy speed up. My long term project is using klipper, will be interesting to see how self designed 3d printer will perform against stock factory made ones.
Recently switched to Klipper on my Artillery Sidewinder X2 and I'm loving it so far. Do you have a process you use to calibrate your minimum layer time, maybe a gcode file or cura script you use?
I also have an X2 and preparing to switch to klipper, did you push print speed to the limit?
I'm curious if something like 210mm/s is achievable
@@pietrom2642 The volcano hotend of the X2 can comfortable extrude a flow of 25mm/s^3. You could conceivably crank your speed up to 350mm/s with a 0.4 nozzle at 0.2m layer height. I usually print at around 200mm/s with 3K acceleration, but I'm going to play with those numbers more when I get input shaper set up.
Does klipper automatically suggest and implement the faster print speeds or do you have to take its test results and input them manually into each print?
Where did you get theb test prints for the auto cooling settings. That is something I would like to dial in
Well you were certainly correct we were going to see Klipper on more and more printers out of the box! The gains we see are even more impressive than you got in this video as well.
great video ! love it, I run klipper too on a ender 3 and it's a beast ! I do print with esun pla+ with a orbiter 2.0 DD and a E3Dv6 but I've got a lot of small stringing, do you have printing seting to avoid thoses ? like retraction speed or retraction lenght ? thanks a lot !
Do a retraction tower to find the appropriate value.
Klipper was marketed incorrectly - at least for me. I had been told many times that its faster, that didn't interest me because I was dabbling in 32 bit boards and I could get plenty of speed out of Marlin. In reality it is vastly undermarketed and undersold at how much simpler and easier it is to work with. And its for this fact that i'm ditching Marlin across the board, not for the speed
But I disagree that Klippers documentation is fantastic. I find it rather poor because it doesn't really explain a lot of the 'why' and 'how' to set things up. It desperately needs short summaries and what to use, why you'd use it, and how to implement it correctly. Beyond just listing the commands and describing what the feature is. It's actually quite painful setting up Klipper on custom printers that have a mish-mash of components. It could also benefit massively from a direct partnership with Mainsail to include it in the installation and take some of the pain out of installation on systems other than an official raspberry pi (Kiauh on github helps immensely with this)
That said, once you do get it setup and working. It is enormously immensely better to fine-tune from that point on, try new features, make adjustments etc. Marlin is an absolute pain in the ass in comparison. And that - to me at least - is how Klipper should predominantly be pitched, it's so much friendlier and easier to actually work with and expand upon. If they could polish and make it easier to get your head around and get up and running with it, then it would be a very easy win that would completely push marlin out of the market. Speed is nice, convenience is far nicer
Some said that a 0.6 mm nozzle will drop a similar amount of print time. Maybe a bigger nozzle + klipper will really change the speed to 4x.
Actually, even with a bigger nozzle, cooling still is the issue on many prints. Also it depends on the objects, if it is OK to use a bigger nozzle.
On the other hand, klipper might some upgrades profiable: To increase flow of the hotend, just use a bondtech cht nozzle. For cooling, you might try Berd Air. Two easy and cheap upgrades which can push the limits of your printer a lot
@@oleurgast730 More cooling = weaker parts. I'm not convinced yet.
@@alejandroperez5368 More plastic in the same time needs more air in the same time to get the same(!) cooling! If you print faster, the airflow from the part cooler on the printhead touches the part a shorter time - so you have to increase airflow to get the same(!) cooling. You can increase airflow on the printhead (Berd Air) or an auxilary fan (like the X1 carbon does).
With 4-times the speed (or to phrase it more precise: 1/4th overall printtime) you need 4-times of airflow for the same(!) cooling.
Awesome information and presentation, thank you 💪
Thank YOU!
You should make a video on how to install Klipper on that Hornet there since there’s only videos of showing it off
I have found sparse information at best for the MK3s+
Is there a one stop shop for the path to install klipper with an MK3s+?
Thank you very much! You inspired me to switch from Marlin to Klipper on my Artillery Hornet. I also tuned input shaping using the ADXL345 sensor obtaining amazing results on the ringing tower model!
However I am now finding some difficulties on bringing high speed onto "normal" prints, despite no problems on the ringing tower.
I am currently trying to print at around 90 mm/s and max accel set to 3000 with poor results (usually, some of the final layers won't extrude anymore or extrude badly with visible holes).
Do you, by any chance, remember which settings you used for speed/acceleration on the hornet?
Thank a lot and keep doing that!!
What really matters is whether you can use the part just printed!
How can input shaping speed up the print when it slows down the start and stop inertia?
Yup, it's 2024 and we're printing perfectly usable parts at high quality 2-4 times faster thanks to input shaping which is used widely since 2019.
Welcome to the future ;-)
"(...) slows down the start and stop inertia?"
Please elaborate on this, that's not the case.
Wouldn't it have made more sense to see how far you could push the speed on the default firmware first?
Please make a video about the minimum time and minimum speed calibration! I never found anything helping to tune them!
I use the Benchy Hull without infill and top solid for the layer time and something small and potinted for minimum speed (iteratively). But I also still don't have a (good) idea for systematic approach other than that :/ As soon as I have, there might be a video.
Hi, is it possible to share the settings used in this video for Biqu B1 ?
This is why Ive been trying to setup Klipper and then now with direct drive for the past month but having a hard time.
Awesome video that was great help! Subscribed for more♥
I have tuned input shaper and linear advance inside marlin and I have been able to increase my acceleration to 3000 from 600 and double the print speed, without loss of quality
Could you send me a download link for your Biqu B1 kipper firmware & Prusa Configuration? I have constant issues getting my Biqu B1 to function especially with a probe. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
There is a pretty good fan duct mod on thingyverse for the hornet that replaces the entire head shell and directs the air flow directly on the very tip of the extruder.
Great video. I've been thinking about making the switch to Klipper. Tired of recompiling to add or remove a feature... I also like to go fast. if you aint first yer last.
Thanks a lot, Ben!
For acceleration bound moves, time cost of the move doesn't scale inversely with acceleration but inversely with the square root of acceleration. You need 4x the acceleration to halve print time. (This isn't quite true because moves start at nonzero junction velocity, but it's still close.) This is why the giant boosts to acceleration, while they help a lot, don't give you the proportional time saving you might expect.
Yup, simple math for that, when isolating the gains by increased acceleration for certain geometries. As it is complex as a whole and concerning realistic/different geometries, it's more of a statistical topic. In this case here we had 6x to 8x the acceleration, up to doubled the print speed and carefully optimized retracts/z-moves in comparison to the baseline and managed achieve a max of half of the print time.
@@247printing Yep, the gains will be less if you're already reaching cruise at the lower accel or somewhere in between. Only if you can increase max speed by the square root of the accel factor at the same time would you expect the full scaling, and that's still not accounting for retraction times.
I added a sonic pad to my Ender 3v2 and Ender 3s1, but I am having a hard time finding resourced to tweek them to get max speed with good quality. Do you have any resources to share?
I myself have Klipper running on 6 of my printers.

OK after reading numerous test about setting up Klipper for Printers I do not own, FINALLY a video on just howe good is the end result. I heard 2X faster, limited by cooling. Then I thought about that, WAIT. A bigger Fan and custom cooling ducts can ne bought and printed for next to Cheap. What stopped you from going the extra 10 yards, 3 meters whatever to actually chase the best you can get from Klipper with a little help. I am all for the new science the is allowed to come into play. But why hangchuff it by saying you can't change anything else. In my case I have a 3 year old CR 10S Pro V1 with upgrades, Pi 4 with Octoprint, Microswiss DD and Hot end, BL Touch, Z azis Struts and Garolite Bed. OK Now I am still printing at 60 mm/s and I still mess up layer one and my parts take forever to complete. So $140 to add Pad 7, My support guy says 2 ours for $100 he can set up right. Then we get into the what's next: Hotter and Faster Hot end, Better part cooling, Linear Rails X & Y No that adds up yes but you can space it out and say in 6 months have a better machine. How much better, frequency of layer 1 failures, Speed to print, Quality of finished part how many rejects, reprints? I even get my Corvette tuned by a specialist just to get a few extra Horsepowers And he costs $500. So why not Invest in the old boy, I Like it and if it was more reliable, cleaner prints and faster That is a big plus. What do you think? 1st Pad 7, 2nd Cooliing fan and duct, 3rd Faster Hot End, 4th Linear rails. 1st $240 with tune, 2nd $60, 3rd $200 guess, 4th $200 estimate. So $520 for the whole mess and what will you have. Your 3 year old Bed Slinger now 4 years old Printing twice as fast if not more, Zero failed Prints, Never need to reprint, 2 parts in the time of one before. Less waste in material and time. Only Option is $1,000 or more and that would be a Core XY with an enclosure. Unless you can lighten the bed on the 10S Pro you are limited, But with the technology Klipper brings to the printer You are not leaving much behind. My thoughts, what are yours???
I still haven't reached the point where my Klipper prints are to the same quality as my stock prints, but I'm determined to get everything dialed in because I do believe in the promise of what it brings to the table.
