I watched a ton of videos on this, and this one was the most useful for helping me get it installed on my Ender 3 Max Neo. Thanks so much Chris. Going to watch your BLtouch setup now too, since that's a part of my printer as well.
Great to hear!
Chris, appreciate the time you spent doing these instruction videos. I was a big fan of Marlin and appreciate the work done getting it to where it is. What I like about Klipper is the ability to make changes without having to recompile the code. It is a simple text file edit. The use of macros also opens new ways of getting things done. Will be interesting to see your future videos and will see you at ERRF.
Thanks Dave, that's a good point.
Thanks for publishing these videos, Chris! Top tier explanation and walkthrough, per usual.
Glad you like them!
Excellent tutorial Chris! 👏
Thanks @marsgizmo !
This was super helpful. Thanks a bunch dude! I think I need to run through my stepper calibration and also see about getting a CR Touch and getting that hooked up. That should help loads with simplifying first layer stuff
Glad I could help!
oooh I was so missing that sending the gcode file directly from prusaslicer, thank you so much Chris. Keep them coming
Thank you
WONDERFUL - this helped me so much. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks
You're very clear, really appreciate your work
Thank you!
This was super helpful. Thank you!
🙂👍
YAAAASSS ! Thanks :) Cant wait to learn :)
Thanks for watching
One thing to note, you can pass variables to your PRINT_START macro. I pass it the nozzle and bed temp. Here is how I did it in Prusa Slicer or SuperSlicer:
PRINT_START BED_TEMP=[first_layer_bed_temperature] PRINT_TEMP=[first_layer_temperature[initial_extruder]]
Thanks!
Awesome tutorial!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
nice video and thx for this video!
Glad you liked it!
Can't wait to see where you take this series... (BLTouch and Hopefully Input Shaping w/ ADXL345)
More to come, stay tuned!
Same here! I’d love to see both of those. Especially the accelerometer set up!
Excellent tutorial
Thank you!
awesome... thanks!!
Thanks for watching
Hi Chris, thanx a lot for the cool videos. They help a lot. I also have a question for you. Does activating Z-Hop in slicers work in Klipper at all? is there a way to do something like Z-Hop in Klipper?I couldn't find a good answers until now.
Awesome, great to hear, z hop just sends Z movement with G1 commands, so it should work with Klipper just fine.
@@ChrisRiley Thanx a lot for your reply Chris. Yeah, I was a bit confused because I did see some Z-hop when I activate it in a slicer software but I think it is not implemented in Klipper firmware. I wasn't sure about that that's why I asked your opinion. Btw I would be really happy if you could make a video about combing,acceleration and jerk in cura oder other slicer software. I couldn't find a helpful video about those functions. Just an idea for the next videos ;) cheers
great info hope you are going to add TMC drivers
👍🙂
Hey Chris - Do you have a solution for put some life into the stock diplay? As several mention, the display is not worth much. But just a logo or a picture would show that the printer is on
I wish I knew, there has to be a way, but not sure the easiest way to go about it.
Thank you for the video. I followed it to get my ender 3 v2 running klipper. Do you have a video of the same thing but for ender 3 pro? I have a second printer, ender 3 pro, with atmega1284p board. I think the compiling procedure is the same, I just don't know what info to put in during the makeconfig part.
You would probably need to put on a bootloader for that board. This would be the closest config that I know of. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-melzi.cfg
Great video! I’m trying to add macros to my mainsail.cfg file and it’s showing as read only. Any idea how to enable editing?
Try updating the permissions. run this.
sudo chmod 755 /home/pi/klipper_config/mainsail.cfg
What raspberry pi should I choose? Is there any difference on performance or use on any of them?
Any Raspberry 3 or 4 is fine if you can find it. 🙂Thanks for watching!
@Chris Riley For some reason Putty keeps outputting the compile of klipper to a .elf file format instead of .bin
That's odd, not sure what's up, but I have noticed some time it takes a while for the .bin to show up. It should have both in the out folder.
How about a video of where to change settings in Klidpper for the MicroSwiss direct drive. Edit: on the ender3 v2
I'll look into it
Greetings Chris, a bit late on this one but after booting the firmware.bin file on my Ender 3, I still get the original marlinfw on my lcd. as if the firmware wasn't even loaded.
🙂
Can you comment on the problems associated with Lerdge's 4.4.2 firmware update for their Lerdge K Board?
I haven't used a Lerdge board in a long time, so I don't know much about it.
Very helpful,, took the plunge and everything worked out well.
Ender 3 Pro, witth multiple upgrades, prints very well for a ' hobby printer '
I am got exaspherated with VS Code at times, had a Pi 4 anyway, sort of a no brainer.
I will work to get over the ' curve ' , having direct access to the config files is one of the best features.
My BTT E3, V3 is dogging it now, such is life.
Thanks for all the work and the excellent comments on this channel !
Very Best Wishes to all for the season !!
Please think of the folks in Ukraine !
Thank you! Happy New Year
Doing the exact steps on an ender 3 v2 printer will result in a connection problem. For Ender 3V2 printers you need to set the baud rate to 115200 in the make menu and printer.cfg to actually be able to connect....
Interesting, I will have to check that out.
@@ChrisRiley let us know if this is replicable. I found this fix on reddit when trying to find out why It didn't work for me.
Where is the baud rate mentioned in the printer.cfg? Just struggling thanks as printer refuses to communicate with what he has done in video
@@CurlyfriesCurlyfries should be in a section called MCU, here is mine (to use as an example):
[mcu]
serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
baud: 115200
restart_method: command
Hi Chris, i followed the whole tutorial thanks very much. When i want to start printing i get an error, would you be able to help me with this. I can send the log file if need be.
Sure, what's the error? Send it here, brotherchris81@gmail.com
Is it possible to configure raspberry pi 3 a+ on a MacBook air? Also is klipper possible too?
Unfortunately I don't know Mac very well. Good luck!
Hi Chris, thanks a lot for this video. Lots of good information and well explained (as usual) :). I am complete Klipper newbie and currently trying to upgrade my home-built IDEX from Repetier 1.x to Klipper. The mainboard is Ultratronics Pro 1.0. It is rather rear one and I was able to find only a basic Klipper config for it. So I am building printer.cfg on my own. I was able to compile and flash firmware via USB port and established connectivity from Octoprint. It says "connected" and reads firmware version but then says - "Printer is not ready. The klippy host software is attempting to connect. Please retry in a few moments." Following your advice from another video I started from configuring thermistor pins of both extruders and heated bed but so far no success. The temp shows 0 and I am getting the same error. So, I have 2 questions to you.
- I know that Klipper allows to modify config and applies it as soon as it restarts, but is that enough when changing pin assignments or I need to recompile and upload new flash?
- Can I use MCU pin numbers in printer.cfg or need to enter corresponding names like PC28. If the names are preferred, there should be a file mapping them to pins for my mcu. Do you know where should I check if such file exists for my board?
Thanks
After couple of hours troubleshooting I can now answer my 1st question - pin changes are applied without re-flashing firmware. Pin names are accepted but where are they mapped to the actual pin numbers remains unclear. Also, I was able to solve mcu connectivity problem by adding baud: 115200 to [mcu] section of the config file.
Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yes, first question, correct, pin changes are applied. The pin numbers are really hard to figure out with a schematic. I did find this, if this is your board those A1/D10 pin assignments the guide lists should work in the config. reprapworld.com/documentation/datasheet_ultratronics10_05.pdf
what microcontroller architecture should i choose if i am using my laptop intel i7.
Just about anyone should work. STM32 is the most common.
Stuck at 3:51 of the video - I have multiple instances of Klipper/Mainsail running on a PC. If I follow this, won't it be setting all printers to have the same mainboard??
It depends how you have them all setup. You will need to work from the directory you have Klipper installed in to keep them from getting overwritten.
Hi Chirs question, what raspberry pi do I need to require for my ender 3 v2.
Any one will work. Pi 3 or Pi 4, whatever is affordable
ya realice los pasos y despues de guardar y cambiar el serial: aun me aparece la impresora no esta lista. el sofware host klippy esta intentando conectarse. :/ que puedo hacer ? gracias
Consulte la configuración de ejemplo para conocer los pines GPIO que podría necesitar llamar durante la configuración de su placa.
if you are just using mainsail with no OCtoprint. is there a way to send it into mainsale via prusa slicer
Not at the moment, but I'm sure it's coming.
Back when we were still using 8bit boards I could see the point in something like klipper. With 32bit boards running at 480 MHz why would you still want this? Are the print results that much better?
For me Klipper provides speed, multi-motor control, and print quality that I was not able to get using Marlin. The flexibility of not having to compile firmware to just change something or extend the capabilities is worth the change alone. I still run a Marlin printer (Prusa) . It does ok. No complaints. However, I can print significantly faster with higher quality (less artifacts) on my other Klipper-based printers. Been 3D printing since 2015... YMMV
You are right a modern board might be able to do the same calculations as klipper does right now on the SBC. But klipper has a lot of other benefits:
- Multi MCU support for large configuration
- That includes now the CAN toolhead boards that makes wiring much easier
- The custom macro system is a very powerful tool.
- Do configuration changes nearly on the fly
That are some of the benefits beside good print quality at high speed
Input shaper needs more processing power.
Thanks for your input!
Great video, but I have a situation, when I type "ls /dev" I don't see (serial, serial10, serial11) I did something wrong? or I have to do something else?
Most of the time when that happens I have messed up the MCU start up pin, the last option in the make menu. Double check that one.
@@ChrisRiley Thanks
all in all its it worth the upgrade vs just printing of stock mobo. outside of the cool factor im having a issue seeing if its worth the effort.
It IS worth it. I will never go back to Marlin after using Klipper for a while.
I was where you are just a few weeks ago… I’d say if you are happy with your print quality and speed it probably is not. I was not happy with my tronxy x5sa so I decided to take the plunge and put klipper on it and see if there is any benefit. Spoiler alert: in my case it absolutely is. Now there is a learning curve and I’m still at the bottom of it but, for me, 3d printing is a hobby and I enjoy the journey.
That's great! I'm glad your happy with Klipper
Do you have to check klipper firmware option ?? Since the video is in marlin option
Not sure what you mean???
Hey Chris i have the new Creality E3 32 bit open source board and i tried to flash this on to my Ender 3 pro and did not flash and also will this method work on a Ender 3 pro?? Thanks in advance
Yes, this should work on your Ender 3 PRO, it might be a little different board so it might some changes in the printer.cfg file to make it work.
Can you do a video on configuring the ender 3 v2 with Sprite Pro kit?
I'll look into it!
@@ChrisRileyAppreciate the videos by the way always great explanations! I am struggling with the g-code start and end. I want to use Bambu studio but I seem to be missing pieces for the bed leveling.
i tried following tour tutorial on flashing klipper on my V2. no matter what i do, it wont flash. i tried renaming the flashfile to a unique name, flash it with the display unplugged, with the display plugged in, connect it to the usb cable with e SD card still in it, with the sd card remobed.. nothing works. Seems to me the bin file that gets generated is no good since i have absolutely no trouble flashing other marlin based firmware onto it.
i was considering getting a creatly sonic pad for me ender 3 v3 but now im afraid taht i cant get taht to run either
Sorry to hear that. Does it even try to change the file name to a .cur file?
Do you have a link to the STL´s for that Pi-case? 😊
Here you go! www.thingiverse.com/thing:4376893
@@ChrisRiley THX Chris 😊
Hello chris i watch your whoole video and I have question.... i have ender 3 v2 with octoprint. I want to try that klipper. But i got sprite extuder pro kit.. how to update on klipper that i got sprite extruder pro ?
And can you also help me out how to enable my pi camera module 3? Thanks for info
Not sure on the Pi cam 3, I've never used one. The extruder, all you should have to do is update the steps per mm. Check this out, www.crealityexperts.com/creality-sprite-extruder-pro-upgrade-kit-install-guide it says steps are 424.9
Hi chris,
I didn't have the serial on my ls /dev .. any idea ?
Unplug your printer and do the ls /dev again, then plug it in and run ls /dev and compare the 2. Is there any new device there? If so, plug that into your printer.cfg and reboot. That might get it corrected, then you should see the serial in /dev
I cant edit the mainsail.cfg file, is it ok if I just put the macros in the printer.cfg file?
Not sure why this happens sometimes, but it's a permissions issue in Linux. If you log in to your pi SSH you can run this command to correct it. sudo chmod 755 /home/pi/klipper_config/mainsail.cfg
What is about the Display? I tried, but my Display are only Black. is That correctly?
Yep, no display with Klipper on this machine.
Hi Chris, great video for beginners. I am not sure if you covered this, but maybe you could add small example where and how to find pinout for your board? That it's usually in documentation from board manufacturer, like PDF file on github and ho to map pins to configuration. Or is it too advanced compared to taking example configuration?
While adding just PRINT_START in Start G-code section is slicer may be sufficient, it may happen that somebody copypastes macro from somewhere which does not have default values for bed and hotend temperatures (most don't). Slicer then adds temperature control wherever it likes, often times resulting in printer cooling down immediately after heat up and throwing errors about extruding below minimum temp 🙂 In that case it is necessary to pass variables like hotend and bed temperature from slicer to Klipper macro, by adding some extra words behind PRINT_START. It is good practice in general. This article explains what and why needs to be done: github.com/AndrewEllis93/Print-Tuning-Guide/blob/main/articles/passing_slicer_variables.md Hope it helps somebody 🙂
Thanks, I did add some of that in the latest video, good tips on the slicer settings as well.
I'm trying to print a gcode file through klipper and it gives me a "unable to open file" error. I've changed the location on the example to home/MYLOGINNAME/MYPRINTER_FILES/GCODE but no no avail. Any ideas?
It's usually an issue with the permissions for the gcode directory. It has changed over the last couple of updates. In you config, check the virtual SD card path.
@@ChrisRiley thanks! Fixed, and printing with klipper. Be well and happy!
I tried again and again your tutorial but i had the error mcu:'mcu' unable to connect .The solution for me with 4.2.2 boad was to set baud:115200 both to the ''make userconfig'' and the printer.cfg files. After that mcu connected.
Awesome, glad you found the issue.
So is the prime line (using the temperature from the G-Code, not some arbitrary value) some kind of a secret when it comes to Klipper ?
I can't seem to find any examples that actually work...
Any help would be appreciated !
With some tricky coding, I'm sure there is a way, but I still think it's easier to do it in the start gocde.
@@ChrisRiley Hi, thanks for the reply. After some more digging, I've actually found a way to get what I needed.
There's also a tool for generating Klipper macros by a guy called GAB3D. If you just search for "Klipper macro generator", it should be the first result that comes up.
For now, I've got a "basic" setup that will do a prime line with the slicer settings (you pass them in as parameters in the start G-Code). It does a horizontal one across Y instead of vertical (as in, it actually moves X from left to right instead of Y front to back), but I'll change it in the future by altering the G-Code in that macro.

@@ChrisRiley As for the slicer, I use Prusa Slicer and for the start and end G-Code I have :
START :
M117
PRINT_START EXTRUDER_TEMP=[first_layer_temperature] BED_TEMP=[first_layer_bed_temperature]
END:
PRINT_END
If someone uses the same PRINT_END macro I use, be mindful that the raise of Z by 10mm is "stupid" atm, as in it doesn't do any checks or anything, it just moves up.
Gonna try to figure out how to query the current position and using some conditionals move only if it actually can and Z isn't at the top already (like when you print something full volume o near for example), but that's still on my to-do list as Python isn't exactly my cup of tea and I don't really like the syntax. More of a C/Java guy, but I'll eventually bring myself to dealing with this too sometime in the future. For now I just keep that in mind and it works for what I need.
HI, COULD YOU HELP ME. I CANNOT UPLOAD MY GCODE FILES. I TRY TO UPLOAD THEM MANUALLY INSTEAD OF USING PRUSA SLICER BUT IT SEEMS I CAN'T UPLOAD ANYTHING UNLESS IT HAS LESS THAN 300 LINES OF CODE. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THE HELP
What kind of error is it giving you? It might be file permissions in Linux causing this problem.
Hi Chris, thanks for the guide. But for the life of me, I cannot flash the bloody thing!. I've got ender 3 V2 NEO and no matter what I give the filename to, it just won't flash. should I putting it in a folder? it has V4.2.2 board. Didn't have this headache with S1 Pro. Thanks
I have had lots of folks say the creality boards are really hard to flash sometime. No folder should be needed, but it might just be the SD card your using. I've had to go through 4-5 different ones/size to find one a board liked before.
@@ChrisRiley thanks. I've managed to flash it now. the next problem is now connecting it to my pi running klipper. I should be able to run multiple printers with 1 single pi, correct? Got S1 Pro, klipperized, all well and good. Using Pi 4B 2GB RAM. I had to use this serial: /dev/serial/by-path/platform-fd500000.pcie-pci-0000:01:00.0-usb-0:1.2:1.0-port0, to get it connected to the MCU. Bought another, ender 3 V2 Neo. Now this one is a funny one. No matter what I do, it won't connect. I naturally have got 2 Klipper instances running on diff port. Configured printer.cfg accordingly to the model, but it won't connect. The MCU for the V2 neo is on, /dev/serial/by-path/platform-fd500000.pcie-pci-0000:01:00.0-usb-0:1.1:1.0-port0 . no matter what I do, klipper/mainsail front end won't connect and I'm rather ran out of ideas. if you have a discord, I would love to jump on it and get some help there...cheers
@@unlock-er How did you install the two instances? There might be a mix up there. I would recommend use Kiauh to get them installed as it will separate them out for you. www.obico.io/blog/install-klipper-with-kiauh/

Обычно это проблема с правами доступа к файлу .cfg в Linux.
I just tried configuring two ender 3's to run on one pi running klipper with mainsail for a friend of mine. Got everything set up but evidently the ender 3s all share the same usb serial connection so only one works at a time.. Do you know of any way i could get around that? I already tried using serial by path instead of by id, but it still didn't work. With the price of pi's these days he would love to not have to buy another one.. lmao.
I’d think you should definitely be able to control more than one at a time. Search TH-cam for Klipper on a pic setup. I watched that and saw that guy setting up multiple. It seemed the Kiauh generated multiple instances of klipper. That guide might be helpful in general for multi printer setup
@@WhatsMikeUpTo Oh I know you can, I had it all set up. I used Kiauh, but when it came to getting the serial Id it would only give me one. It appears they both have the same serial Id.. everything I could find in forums basically confirmed that it’s an issue with creality boards. I was just hoping someone had a solution other than using serial by path, because I tried that too.
I'm not exactly sure yet how all this works with klipper. I do plan on trying to figure all this out.
It's on a skrv3 ez board. I used a example ender3Pro example.

@@ChrisRiley never mind im blind didn't realize that it literally tells you in the top right by the notification bell what is wrong lol. thanks for answering tho
For copying the .bin file, I saw another video where he copied the file to the configuration folder after he created it in puTTY. Then from the web he just downloaded it. I thought that was a good trick.
Thanks for sharing!
Chris, I've got a head scratcher for you. I'm trying install Klipper firmware on my Ender 3V2, but the board won't flash. I've successfully flashed a spare SKR 1.4 board, it returns a reply after issuing ls /dev/serial/by-id/* request. However, the E3V2 just states: "No mcu found! MCU either not connected or not detected." What could I be doing wrong? On the Ender I can reflash Marlin, apparently, as many times as I want. No solution, but Creality apparently changed the mcu on some E3V2's to GD32F303. I've tried to flash using the "Disable SWD at startup (For GiagDevice stm32f103 clones)", but again no joy. Any ideas?
Only thing I can think of is check and double check you have the start up pin set correctly. It's different for every board.
@@ChrisRiley do you mean the "by-id" in /dev?
@@georgemitchell2288 no, the start up pin, the last option in the menu when you compile Klipper.
@@ChrisRiley any idea what the GPIO pins to set @ micro-controller startup? It wasn't covered in your setup, and its not in either the sample-configurations of either E3V2 or E3Pro.
@@georgemitchell2288 is it a 4.2.2 or 4.2.7?
I want to download this on my ender 3 v2 but every time I try to download software to it my printer just messes up and puts me out of work for hours or days so I’m not even going to attempt this I can’t get anything to work with my printer 😢
Are you using a V2? Does it have mods or is it stock?
@@ChrisRiley stock v2 got it off Amazon it works great when I don’t try to upgrade the firmware.
serial doesn't appear for me. please help. I'm trying this on a linux laptop
Make sure you MCU pin is set correctly in your printer.cfg
@@ChrisRiley I figured out the problem. A disability program that was pre-installed needed to be uninistalled.
what can cause no serial?
It's all about the hardware, some have them codded in, some don't. It's up to the manufacture.
Question. Is klipper easier to compile than marlin?
I personally do not think so, but I'm a Marlin man.
@@ChrisRiley me too
@@ChrisRiley would be a cool t shirt
The question is it easier to make change once compiled. Marlin requires you to recompile for any change. Once you get a working version of Klipper you can edit printer.cfg and make any change - then save the file and it is done. No recompiling
@@woodwaker1 compiling takes 90 seconds on my computer
i have a problem with .bin file .... printer change it to .cur ????? i cant flash it
It changes it to .cur after it flashes it. If you want to try it again, just change .cur back to .bin.
@@ChrisRiley I flash it ...then I don't have a port ... I can't connect ... I flashed back to stock firmware and the port is there ... usb port not serial. But when I flash klipper, I no longer have the possibility to connect. I tried everything from usb, serial and what is at the end. nothing works :(
BIGTREETECH SKR MINI MZ V1.0 its my board + TFT35 MZ V3.0 Touch Screen Control Board TMC2209. For ANYCUBIC Mega Zero.....
reset ... removed the sd card ... changed the usb cable ... and nothing.
my laptop is intel i5 11th generation with linux. first I tried with Raspberry Pi, then with Ubuntu, nothing worked.
@@TheHuseinbasic Double check your startup pin. # This file contains common pin mappings for the BIGTREETECH SKR mini
# MZ v1.0. To use this config, the firmware should be compiled for the
# STM32F103 with a "28KiB bootloader" and USB communication. Also,
# select "Enable extra low-level configuration options" and configure
# "GPIO pins to set at micro-controller startup" to "!PA14".
I'm not getting anything on serial I'm trying to do this with a old computer and I got host to show up but it not showing up on serial
If you do lsusb, make sure the USB ports are showing up. Leave your printer unplugged and run a ls /dev then plug it in and run it again, does it show up?
Ya nothing it not showing anything ls/dev what would you recommend I was looking at the klipper pad but really want to save money
@@gray896 Did you use Kiahu to install Klipper? This should work, unless the hardware doesn't support Linux. Pi zero 2 and a hub is probably still the cheapest option.
@@ChrisRiley ya I did but use kiauh but I didn't use a pie I'm using a really old HP computer and the tutorial said to use Linux mint
@@ChrisRiley also could it be the main board of the printer I have 4.2.7 board
I got the Error:
Klipper reports: ERROR
mcu 'mcu': Unable to connect
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the
"FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the
config, and restart the host software.
Error configuring printer
I can finde my printer (MCU) The command " ls /dev/serial/by-id" Gives the "usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0" I have edit the printer.cfg with this "[mcu]
serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
restart_method: command
Save at restartet I still got the error mcu 'mcu': Unable to connect
Problem solved
Great, thanks for watching!
i cant get past, usb # just keep getting cant connect to mcu
It could be a GPIO pin issue, what board do you have? Check the setting in the config files. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/config
Please update klipper before you do your firmware, otherwise you may need to flash 2 times.
Thanks for the tip
Prime line source code. I cant seem to find this.
I found it it one on the following videos. Here it is if anyone else needs it.

👍🙂
It is good but tedius to realize, make it essier
I'll see what I can do!
no klipper.bin isa made
Make sure the compile completed successfully.
Oh so you need unobtainable hardware
This is true
HI CHRIS I WATCH YOU VIDEO , WHEN YOU WAS INTALLING OCTO PRINT ON A UBUNTU SERVER, ,AND I HAVE BEEN LOKING INTO KLIPPER , I JUST ORDERED A PRUSA I3 MK3S+ THAT I SHOULD BE GETTING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I ALSO BOUGHT A CR-10 SMART PRO THAT IM RECIVING THE END OF THIS COMING WEEK AND A RASPBERRY PI 4 ALONG WITH A HYPERPIXEL 4 SCREEN NOW MY QUESTION IS , I HAVE BEEN A INUX USER FOR A WHILE AND WHEN I SOW YOUR VIDEO INSTALLING OCTO PRING ON LINUX , CAN I RUN EATHER OCTO PRINT OR KLIPPER ON MY EVERY DAY LINUX PC AND RUN THE PRUSA AND THE CR-10 SMART PRO FROM MY LINUX PC. I AM RUNNING A ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR HERO XIII WITH A RYZEN 7 16 GIG RAM , CAN I RUN THE MK3S+ AND CR-10 SMART PRO FRON THIS LINUX PC , OR SHOULD I USE THE PI THE RUN THE TWO PRINTER , KLIPPER OR OCTOPRINT ANYTHING WOULD BE HELPFULL, , FORGOT TO SAY I AM RUNNING THE LATEST VERSION OF KDE NEON IT HAS BEEN THE ONLY LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO WORK AROUND MY VISION IMPAIREDMENT , ALLOWING ME TO HAVE A DARK MODE THROUGH OUT THE HOLE INTERFACE , THAT IS WHY I USE LINUX , I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME TIPS OF LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT DIRRES
CTION THANKS
Yes, you can run either of those from your Linux machine. The only good thing about the Pi is it is dedicated. I always find when I try to run something from my PC, something happens, like it reboots or a process slow the gcode streaming. The Pi just seems to work better.
@@ChrisRiley THANK YOU , IM ALSO THINKING THE PI , THE ONLY THING IS THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CR-10 SMART PRO WIFI BOX , BEFORE I DO ANYTHING, THANKS
