i've installed Klipper on countless machines, this video is my guide every time thank you.
Destoyed a stepper driver, buyed a Bigtreetech board.
Followed your video and It worked on the first try, without any problem.
Wonderfull done, keep on going!!
Glad it was helpful. There's definitely more to come. Stay tuned 😀
When viewing videos on installing Klipper, you are the first person I have seen mention about the difference between the Windows NotePad and the NotePad++ and why to not use the Windows NotePad.
Thanks a Lot, you saved me. Was Trying to install klipper on my Biqu B1 for a week. Did evrything a lot tutorials told me to. But the only thing no one said was to name your bin file firmware, some said to name differet from the last update, others said to leave at is. Only this little thing made the trick!
Great to see it helped you get up and running! The B1 works great with klipper! I'm slowly working on modifying mine as a direct drive IDEX set up.
This has been hands down the best guide I've seen through this little experience, I set up a lap top to run my printers and you gave me EXACTLY the answers I needed. Thank you!
That's great to see! I'm glad it was helpful.
I hope that your channel grows exponentially . The full coverage , the nice pace , the step by step approach , nothing assumed , super close up view of your pc screen , it all goes to make for essential viewing . I don't have a BTT Pi but I thoroughly enjoyed the deviation from the RPi route and the other vignettes that made for a clearer understanding of the klipper system . The firmware.bin.bin is one example. I wish you every success.
Wow thank you so much for the kind thoughts.
Thank you for showing AND explaining what you do. There are many small details a lot of videos leave out. Just the right amount of rant vs babbling. Awesome man! I just got started in 3d printing and wanted to avoid the 40 year old sneakernet.
Awesome, thank you!
You are a great teacher and you took the time to explain the "why". My set up was a little different and I was able to figure it out. Thank You! You have a new subscriber.
i had not luck installing the OS for the pie but i ended up installing the specific purpose 3d printer OS, then klipper with kiauh, then following this guide after that. worked like a charm!
Thanks so much for your support! ❤
The feeling is mutual 😊
Thank you both for the information and options to achieve our projects!
so nice to have a solid, every step covered guide. my old ender3 pro, with its new skr mini an bttpi are klipper'd thanks to this video. very nice work
You are a LIFESAVER!! I have watched DOZENS of other videos on this topic. Yours got me through it! By far the BEST video on this topic. Will be be sending you a little $$ soon!
I'm so glad that it was helpful! Thank you so much for the support!
This is the best tutorial I've ever used to do anything hands down.
honestly i completely agree 100% the best
Thank you very very much, this is the ONLY video that I found that was specific to my set up (BTT SKR mini E3 v3 + PI4B + CB1). I followed your tutorial to the letter pausing at each step and the end result was I was able to get everything installed connected and working as expected. I cant express my gratitude enough to you for taking the time to explain this in detail and with god knows how much patience. keep up the good work and I look forward to your next videos.
So nice to see that it was helpful 😊
@@StackingLayers sorry to be a pain. i sent you a message on Instagram i was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem i just ran into after updating klipper where now all my files are blank ( literally every file is blank)but im not getting any error messages.
I have been looking for 2 days and I cant seem to find anything to fix this issue.
how do I get my files back?
thanks in advance
You sir are once again a life saver, I updated my klipper and didn’t have my can boards to auto update so it wasn’t working. In the process of trying to fix the issue I completely stuffed the klipper on my can board so I thought the easiest way forward was to reflash everything. This was super easy to follow as I completely forgot how to do it. Now I am going to rewatch your canbus video to get my new canboard working. Thanks heaps mate 👍🇦🇺😊
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Absolutely fantastic, been trying to get this SV01 with a BTT SKR mini e3 v3 to work and marlin wasnt having it and i was ready to just trash the whole thing so thank you so much! fantastic Guide one of the best ive ever followed for sure!
Great to see it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial. I got the bug after the last RPI update and it didn't recognize any USB devices attached to the Pi, I tried a few things that didn't work. Finally decided to start from scratch and this video helped me to load a new Klipper copy into the Raspberry and the printer board. I used the old printer configuration files and everything is working again. Thumps up, keep up the good work and more vids like this one.
Very nice to see it was helpful 😊
So I don’t mind the rambling to be honest, more info the better. So far you have helped me get past where I was stuck. Hopefully I have time in the next day or two to finish it up!
Thank you so much for very detailed video, I finally got hooked up with my BTT PI and Ocotopus Pro board with this.
Glad to see it was helpful.
Yes! Whoo Hoo!! Finally an indepth guide on the install - I was pulling my hair out while trying to get my Manta E3EZ flashed and working :) Thank you so much! Extremely appreciated
Nice to see it was helpful
Super duper good Job. Highly appreciated!
It's very difficult to do such kind of videos and you have nailed it.
Good info 👍🏻
Thanks! 😊
Thank you! Suuuper helpful tut. I had all sorts of little challenges outside of the scope of this video (like doing it from a mac vs a pc) but it still provided a perfect roadmap nonetheless.
Great Video - Its long but detailed and covers all relevant points - Plan to upgrade (convert to Klipper an old machine I have)
I was confused after watching other shorter videos...
But this helped to clear up things. Placed my order with BIG TREE TECH. Confidence is up now.
Thank you!
Perfect...as others have said, this is the best guide on YT for setting up Klipper.
Awesome glad you liked it.
Great video, easy to follow along with, thanks.
Thank you so much for such an awesome tutorial and being very thorough on the how and why you do things. Earned to subscribe and a like from me!
Thank you for this - I got the software configured and loaded, but was missing the notes about loading the board serial number into the config file. I spent hours banging my head on an anvil until I found this. Thanks!
You're welcome. It's nice to see it was helpful.
Your videos are not too long.... don't sweat the youtube algorithm. People really need details and recommendations, and that is where your videos shine.
Thanks for your detailed installs of BigTreeTech gear and thanks for these Klipper vids. I'm working on the Linux on a laptop option right now. Dropped it years ago because WPA2 enterprise function in a lot of linux flavors was infeasible.....which is why I cant use an RPi or clones. So far Fedora 38 gives me great Cura 5.4 functionality controlling printers ....and I can run multiple instances, or use Pronterface. ..... but can't get Octoprint or Repetier Server working, so switching to Ubuntu 22 and will update back here when I can ....so far Cura is Old (4.13) and Pronterface isn't available ....but Repetier Server loaded and Octoprint is loading now. Will try Klipper to compare once I have that baseline data.
Thank you for the encouragement! 😊
I am considering getting a Linux machine set up in one of my old laptops to show how to use klipper on it, but I don't have a time line for that yet. In the meantime, if you haven't already looked into it, check out KIAUH it will make setting up Klipper a breeze. github.com/dw-0/kiauh
Idk what this dude is talking about, you over explain a ton of shit and I am constantly sliding around in the video, or getting distracted while you go on about sd card speed. I'm not saying the info isn't there, I'm just getting lost when it takes forever to explain a concept. like, just make another video for that concept. also thanks for making this, i gave you a thumb/sub@@StackingLayers
@@user-xq3zj8gz6o I do over explain...a lot 😅 It's a bad habit of mine. At the same time I'm addressing things that I see as common problems with beginners, and trying to stress the importance of getting it right the first time. Still, I do need to practice consolidation.
This is exactly the video i needed for my setup ! Totally new to klipper, and bought the skr e3v3 to upgrade my cr10 pro v2 also think about buying a direct drive hotend but i want a light one any suggestions? I want good cooling now using 5020 fan
Glad it was helpful. I use the BIQU H2 direct drive extruder on 2 of my machines and I've been very happy with them.
@@StackingLayersthanks for the respons, very helpful. The biqu h2 v2s has a lite version(175gr) that's sub 100 wich seems very interesting. I think I go this route then. It seems a bit daunting how to mount it for the moment but I see they have stl brackets too. You sir have acquired another follower !
top man it best one iv'e used talks you through it not going through fast thank you
Great video
Thank you😊
Thank you so much!
Thats a perfect guide!!
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Amazing Tutorial!! Thanks and keep at it :)
😊 glad you liked it.
thank you so much for this video, it worked !!!
You're welcome
thank you very much! Great tutorial
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Please keep making content. It sounds like you know you have to make them shorter. 👍
I really do need to work on staying on track. I should write a script, but it's just too unnatural for me. It's my goal to produce clear and informative videos, so cutting out the tangents is a must. They will get better.
Best damn tutorial I've ever watched... and guess what... it WORKS!!!!
Right on! I'm glad it was helpful.
this video is great! if there's an update for the os do i need to redo all of these steps?
Not normally. But sometimes a Klipper update will require that you update the controller board to have the newer firmware.
@@StackingLayers thanks for the quick reply! it’s the pi 1.2 that has an update.
If you are not having any issues, you are fine with doing the standard Debian uptates using this command,
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
If you choose to update the to the new image then yes you'll need to set some things up again, like the printer.cfg. It's best to make a backup of all that so you can just copy in after updating. The controller board will be fine as klipper firmware doesn't change with the host image.
My printer is not working yet but I’m so close cuz your video! Thank you for making this!
I did have a problem getting the
ls /dev/serial/by-id/* to work turns out I had to delete the klipper.cfg file copy and paste the same file but rename it firmware.cfg then it worked. I know you said to do that but somewhere it went wrong just putting this here for other people. Don’t know if this matters but I pulled the jumper from the boot pins labeled boot on my BTT octopus
I followed (Stacking Layers) vid to a T at the end there it got a little confusing however, I config it for my board, which is a BTT octopus v1.1 And it worked
Glad to see it was helpful.
The boot pins on the octopus put it in DFU mode which uses a different way of flashing firmware and bootloaders. It doesn't need to be there for the firmware.bin via SD card method.
excelente video , yo tenia ya precompilado el firmware a la impresora con un pc viejo.. para hacerlo con el cb1 tengo que volver a precompilar firmware? gracias
It is best to make the newest klipper firmware. That will ensure that everything is working well. If you look at the version of your current klipper firmware and it matches then you don't have to do it again.
@@StackingLayers todo estaba corriendo correctamente , actualice y ahora me dice que moonraker no puede conectar-
Great video, just what I have been looking for. I have an Orange Pi 3 LTS. I used an 8-bit board and installed klipper as a test for my Ender 3 Pro using KIAH, but it is good to know how to do it this way. I usually get bored with long videos and don't finish or fast forward as usually they are not things I am all that interested in. But I watched your entire video. It was really interesting.
The one thing I have been struggling with is the configuration files. Most of the videos or information I find just glosses over them or barely mentions them at all. I have an Ender 3 Pro, but it has been modified quite a bit. Dual lead screws each with its own stepper and a timing belt, SKR Mini E3 V3.0 board, Microswiss direct drive with all metal hotend. I am going to add a different direct drive bracket though as the Microswiss messed up my homing and I can't seem to fix that. I will also add a BMG extruder clone with a smaller stepper.
I am curious will I have to change anything in the printer.cfg file when I add the new motor. Looking forward to your next video.
I'm glad the video was interesting for you.
The new motor/extruder will likely need some settings adjusted. Rotation_distance would be the first I would check, and depending on the type of driver setup, if you have current control that may need adjusting.
@@StackingLayers I don't think you can adjust the current on the board of the SKR Mini E3 V3.0 unless it is under that big heatsink.
Yeah with that board you set it in the printer.cfg under the [tmc2209 stepper_x] for example for the X driver.
The run_current: setting.
This is the full generic configuration for that board, github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/blob/master/firmware/V3.0/Klipper/SKR-mini-E3-V3.0-klipper.cfg
@@StackingLayers Thanks for the info, appreciated.
Great video!!
I just have a question about power supply, Is it possible to give the the power with a 27W official raspberry power supply. I really dont want burn them out!
I´ve ordered two of each one
For just the set-up process it should be fine, but not to run motors and heaters.
Ok, Thanks, but i mean just to power the BTT Pi, my plan is install a several peripherals to each one.
One PSU for each BTT Pi.
is it should be fine?
Oh ok. Yes, absolutely, the official raspberry pi power supply works well with it. I use it often with teasing.
Followed your video to a T, however I still am unable to access the BTT Pi via Wi-Fi. All Wi-Fi inputs are correct (SSID & PASSWORD). I have had to link via ethernet cable. Do you think there is an issue with the BBT Pi? Otherwise, your video is great. Very big help with setup. Thank you 😊😊
Thank you so much for the most complete tutorial ever. I have a small issue thought. Everything is set up and waorking on my ender 3 v2 with skar mini e3 v3, but I don't have BLTOUCH and it is expecting that so it doesnt home. How can I disable the BL touch?
In the printer.cfg file look for a section that has [BLtouch] remove or put a # in front of those lines to disable it. Also make sure that End-Stop pin in the stepper z part is an actual pin number and not virtual endstop z probe
@@StackingLayers as far as I can tell endstop pin is PC2. I entered that and now I can another error : Option 'position_endstop' in section 'stepper_z' must be specified
I got it working man! Thank you so much!
Nice! Good to see you got it going.
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome 😁
Thanks!
My first super! Wow! Thank you so much!
Just got a btt pi v1.2 and going to try this on my cr-10 v3 with an skr mini e3 v3 board. Any recommendations on how to pick and choose between presets for that vs and ender 3? I successfully flashed marlin 2.1.x bugfix but klipper seems like the way to go. Also it seems like I can’t use a pi camera with the btt pi. Is there any alternatives I can use or should I just get a real pi4b? Same goes for input shaping if I go with the btt pi am I stuck using btt input shapers or vice versa? Am I good to just use my stock cr-10 display with the btt pi/pi4b? if I do get an external display from btt would that run on a pi4b too? Many thanks this video is incredible!
With the BTT pi you can't use a raspberry pi camera, but you can use a usb webcam. All of the different accelerometers will work. The BTT or any of the other usb style accelerometers are the easiest to set up. The cr-10 screen will work with the skr mini you don't hook that to the btt pi, but for a better UI I recommend an HDMI touch screen. That will plug to the BTT pi an you would install the KlipperScreen service.
So at 28:40. The two files we need to watch for are not on my installation of klipper ( i did on pi 4 with mainsail) um the boardenv.txt and the system.cfg. I used raspberry pi imager 1.8.5 also
Those aren't for raspberry pi. When toy make the image for raspberry pi, there is a gear icon in raspberry pi imager that lets you set up ssh and wifi stuff. Yes that. Also raspberry pi has a config.txt that is similar to the Borden.txt on the CB1/BTTpi. Here is the info on that, www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html
Muito obrigado por este v ideo!!✌
Hi I just ordered an skr e3v3 with this intended purpose and was curious about having to jump the 2 pins to make it usb powered. Are those red bits in the box with the board? Or are they sold separately? Do I even need those or can I just join the 2 pins with some solder?
They come with it. Never solder those pins. The USB power is for programming only. You have to use a regular 12V or 24v power supply, depending on your machine, to actually print.
A bad flash bricked my board so I had to flash a stock bootloader and firmware file I found with an ST Link v2 tool off Amazon. I can't seem to get the firmware to flash from the SD card so I figured out how to directly flash a firmware with this tool using a hex editor 😎. The eeprom dump has a bootloader at the beginning of the file and then there is a break in the code and the firmware has to be written after it. This is why you can't simply flash the firmware file with this tool because it will overwrite the bootloader. I was able to turn the generated firmware bin file into a hex file and splice it into a file with the bootloader in front of it and after flashing that I have connection over UART now without an SD card.
I'm thinking of making a video on this because it could be used to help people who have damaged SD card slots. But yea thank you for your video so I could get up to speed on how this stuff works 👍
That would definitely be a great video to see and probably very helpful for some.
Hi man! I have one question about the OS choice. I just downloaded the imager flash and nowadays we have a bunch of different options availables... I bought the BTT PI V1.2 and dont know what spec to choose on OS.
The BTT pi needs the cb1 image. The raspberry pi images are not compatible, it's a different chip set. This is the official bigtreetech image github.com/bigtreetech/CB1/releases/tag/V2.3.4
Would you recommend doing this out of the box or waiting a while then upgrading?
Personally I like to have the firmware flashed and configuration set up before I start to connect things.
This is great but unfortunately I'm using a Creality 4.2.7 board on an ancient CR-10 from 2018. How do I modify the firmware to work?
You'll need to find the settings for the board you have and then make and install the firmware. It's more or less the same process for all machines. If you have the atmega1284p chip on your board then this is likely the settings and config but do the research to be sure don't just start flashing without confirming the installed equipment.
github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config%2Fprinter-creality-cr10-2017.cfg
so i get to the update part where you use mainsail which you have up and ready to go. i goto mainsail and i cant find how to get to the screen your already on. i have putty up and linked to ssh but mainsail nope and it wont let me access the ssh part. please help.
does that software allow you to access your printer over different internets
There are a few ways to get remote access safely. My preferred way is OctoEverywhere. I'm actually working on making a video for that.
Beautiful video, I want to buy bbt pi and I have your identical mother board. I'm a beginner so can you help me for the cfg part, thanks
I have another video I'm trying to get out now that drives Into a quick explanation of the printer.cfg file. I'm trying to get it out by the end of the weekend, but if you are using the SKR mini E3 V3 then this video shows how to get the printer.cfg ready to go for the Ender3 and the likes.
@@StackingLayers but for cfg i need the skr one or the ender 3 ?
I made one with the skr pin and the ender 3 part
@@mattiamusica3059 use this to set up the printer.cfg github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-bigtreetech-skr-mini-e3-v3.0.cfg
And use the crealiy one just as a reference for things that do not have a pin number.
Keep in mind that the SKR mini E3 V3 has tmc2209 drivers and they are in UART mode so those sections that say tmc2209 allow for current adjustments and such. So leave those as they are. They should be set up correctly as is.
@@StackingLayers thanks
Image used on BTT Pi V1.2 will it be the same as the CB1 board? Github BTT / no image release only CB1, Pi V1.2 just has documentation but no OS. Looking for Klipper software to use on this BTT Pi V1.2
It's the same image
another doubt, what is the circuit you have above the heatsink? I do not have it!
That is a canbus adapter. You don't need it to follow along with this video . It's just plugged in because I didn't have a safe place to store it
I noticed on the Klipper page, the installation instructions say to use Octopi is the base OS. I never understood why they don't have just the Mainsail option without Octoprint. I love octoprint. Used it on my Ender 5 with Marlin 2 for years, but I have enough functionality via Mainsail to not need Octoprint and I feel most DIY/Maker/Home Users will be in the same boat.
By the way - WiFi country has nothing to do with time zones, it only defines WiFi channels available legally in the country. I know you kind of corrected that later, but I am just being pedantic
Is it possible to do this with skr mini e3 v1.2? I have an older model!
Yes. Hers the configuration. Make sure to read the firmware settings at the top. There are some things to be aware of for when making the firmware for that board. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-bigtreetech-skr-mini-e3-v1.2.cfg
i have installed the mainsail 1.3.2 x64. the files printer.cfg and print_area_bed_mesh.cfg are missing. i have the raspberry pi 4 B.
You have to make those yourself. Here's the repo of examples. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/config
Look for your machine and/or board you are using, then adjust as needed.
Hello, I am configuring Klipper and do not see the file print_area_bed_mesh.cfg - Can you tell me where I can get a copy of this?
That's a custom .cfg file. Looks like it belongs to this project, github.com/Turge08/print_area_bed_mesh/tree/master
Since that hasn't been maintained for a long time you might want to look into KAMP for adaptive bed meshing github.com/kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging
is there a limit for the sd card? I see you use 32, but a 64 or 128 could work?
Should be fine. It's a Linux system so it has what it needs to read different formats. It's not locked to FAT32 like the controller boards are.
bro estoy intentando actualizar systema y me dice error.. se ve tan facil en el video y llevo dias intentando y no logro hacer que funcione. hago todo exactamente igual , y siempre aparece algun error-- y tengo tabien la misma placa skr mini v3
I tried this on the new Manta M8P V2 and I see no serial ports. Could this be because I used the setting from the Manta V1.1 klipper.cfg?
They use different chips. You must use the M8p V2 firmware setup. The settings are at the top of the configuration example github.com/bigtreetech/Manta-M8P/blob/master/V2.0/Firmware/generic-bigtreetech-manta-m8p-V2_0.cfg
@@StackingLayers Thanks I did, I still have the problem that it can't connect.
i just checked what junk i have laying around in my stash of no longer used projects and a stupid thought came to mind, what if you use laptop/chromebook motherboard in place of pi board and bodge 2 arduino unos as the one mcu, one as x,y,e stepper brain, and the other one as heaters and z stepper. it in theory would have enough processing power to exist as a 3d printer even if single arduino could be too small to run all the io' s . but i presume mega is the smallest viable option so i probbaly better get 2nd hand ender board if i want to think of making a printer
but in general is split mcu even possible with klipper. i know it is stupid but it is almost midnight here
Saw many videos about Klipper with manta boards , with this one I got it done. But I still have the error message .
What's the error message?
Once firmware is flashed can I remove sd card from contol brd?
Yes.
Can you please help me! My mcu is not being found when I get to 1:07:30 in the video I don’t have those 5 lines it only has 3 and I cannot find the mother board using a rpi4 and skr mini e3 v3
The amount of lines that show up with lsusb will very, don't be too worried about that. If the ls /dev/serial/by-id/* is not being found then perhaps the usb cord is not good.
Another though is make sure the firmware actually flashed, if you check the firmware.bin on the SD card after flashing, it will have changed to firmware.cur if it did not change then it did not flash.
Have same moterboard but STM32GOBO
Yeah I've seen that some are shipping with that chip now.
i have been crying my eyes out for something like this look at this 2 times and the more i watch the more i feel like i understand. therefore yes i would like to see more. I have no i dea what im doing but this seems like a what i need to get stared. now i do have a question how do i add Idex files ?
I am having issues after setup and about a week of use, of it not connecting to wifi, ans it not showing in the router admin.
Have you checked if it's making a new IP address? Some routers will room the IP addresses for security reasons. You'll need to set it as a static IP if that's the case. Or you can use the hostname( .local name). For example pi.local. the hostname is normally the name that shows automatically when it is shown in the router. You can also get it by typing hostname in the terminal if you are connected to the machine.
@@StackingLayers the pi ended up failing, I ended up doing a return, it was working fine and just out of no where stopped
after installing the thing onto my drive, the files look completely different from the ones you have. any idea why
It depends on what distribution you have installed.
@@StackingLayers i installed the same os as urs idk whats wrong
Is it missing files? This is the one I'm using. It's only for the Cb1 and bigtreetech Pi not raspberry pi or others.github.com/bigtreetech/CB1/releases/download/V2.3.2/CB1_Debian11_Klipper_kernel5.16_20230303.img.xz
I have tried so many times to locate the serial with no luck message i keeping getting is ls: cannot access '/dev/serial/by-id/*' : no such file or directory. help please
Which OS and Host computer are you using? Some of the Debian Linux distros have a bug where that will not work correctly, if at all. Also what controller board are you using and how did you configure the firmware?
I had same thing. When you are logged in using WinSCP you can see all the files make sure you’ve copied the klipper.cfg file on your computer then delete The klipper.cfg file in the WinSCP rename the copied file on your computer to firmware.cfg and copy and paste that in the WinSCP file area then I was able to get the serial.
@@StackingLayers I’m using a lite version of mint. And i have followed the instructions in your video and modbots video on setting up an old pc for klipper
When I'm on putty, it lets me type in the login (biqu), but immedietly after when it asks for my password, nothing happens. I type in biqu for the password but no characters appear and when I press enter, it takes a couple of seconds but it says access denied. Also if I leave it open for about a minute it'll telll me "remote side unexpectedly closed network connection". Any ideas as to why this is happening?
The password not showing any characters is normal. Make sure to type it in all lowercase. biqu then hit enter. And yes if you wait too long it will time out and auto disconnect.
Will this work on an ender 3 pro ?
Klipper will work on most machines. This is the config and info for flashing the ender 3 pro, github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/printer-creality-ender3pro-2020.cfg
@@StackingLayers thanks so much
@@StackingLayers will this raspberry pi work ? Raspberry Pi 3 B With Power Cable?
@@StackingLayers The pi is a Pi 3 model B V 1.2 will it work for klipper ?
Yes. To power the raspberry pi, but the Raspberry Pi power supply is not enough to supply the board for printing that will need a 12 or 24 volt power supply depending on the components you have.
Could I also use a flash drive
Do you mean to install the OS on a flash drive? There's ways to use a harddisk for the OS on Raspberry Pi but in general, no.
My printer is not working yet but I’m so close cuz your video! Thank you for making this!
I did have a problem getting the
ls /dev/serial/by-id/* to work turns out I had to delete the klipper.cfg file copy and paste the same file but rename it firmware.cfg then it worked. I know you said to do that but somewhere it went wrong just putting this here for other people. Don’t know if this matters but I pulled the jumper from the boot pins labeled boot on my BTT octopu
raspberry pi only has PI devices listed! help!
Are you talking about raspberry pi imager? They recently updated and now you have to select "choose device" and then "no filtering" or there's another message that pops up when selecting image and storage asking about os custom settings or something like that, click No for that.
yep thats what it says
@@StackingLayers
thank you for a quick response
This is the only video that got me going. Cheers!
That's wonderful to see it was helpful!
Just started with klipper. The biggest issue I am having is confusion. I'm seeing different configs for example, motors, probes and I am not sure which one to go with.
The key is finding the manufacture and model of motor or whatever device and then searching for that.
im more confused now
With which part?
bro i need private lessons lol i have a rasbery pi b v whatever is this all the same process ? i dont have bigtreetech please help 911 jajajaja
It's the same, the only difference is the first part I show with raspberry pi imager around the 12:00 mark. There's the option for other specific os or something like that. That's where the 3D printer images are. Choose the klipper mainsail os
I've watched millions of videos learning how to do stuff on TH-cam with 3D. Pinners and CNC machine and and I have a learning disability, so I need these types of instructions but man, you're all over the place for some of this new. Trying to hook up clipper to their 30 printhey don't understand half the stuff you're talking about anyway, so they just want you to show them how to do it. SHA and all that stuff on raspberry pie or whatever board you're using. I don't want to know why this and this and that and then get to the point they want you to show on. Step by step how to do it
Bruh not sure what you're complaining about. This vid is very thorough and concise. Everything he says is important. The whole point of Klipper is to offload the UI to an external microcontroller (RaspberryPi) to free up resources on the motion control board to print faster, etc. Unfortunately, if you want to run Klipper, you're going to have to learn this stuff or buy something like a K1 which has it pre-installed.
Thanks for the video. I like that you are trying to help others. Lots of useful info but way too long. You babble too much and make a 30min video last an hour plus. You go off on tangents too often. I'm not complaining so much as just trying to give helpful advice. Some viewers don't have a lot of time to spend watching long videos so the may go to another channel. Again just trying to help your channel.
I definitely do babble on. I plan on working on that this year. Thank you for still watching and taking the time to comment. I honestly appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!
Thanks for the support!
Thanks!
Thank you!
@@StackingLayers you're most welcome. i did run into an issue after the install where I'm trying to run a print but I'm getting a BL touch error but i don't have a bl touch install on my printer( I'm going to do my due diligence to try and fix this issue on my own) but do you have any suggestions on how i can fix this in case I'm not able to find a solution? thanks in advance
never mind, i found the solution a little lower in the comments. i just had to uncomment the virtual end stop z probe and comment in the actual end stop and location lines
