Bryan! Love your videos. You have a great way of explaining Klipper when no one else on youtube does! Thank you for helping makers everywhere!
Three year old video and still very useful! The ui has changed but this still pushed me in the right direction regarding bed levelling. 👌
Great video as always Bryan. Definitely a useful plugin. Looking forward to more videos on Klipper. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Thierry! I need to work on tuning Pressure Advance to see if I can get that working. It's supposed to prevent blobby corners on prints. That'll probably be the next one in the Klipper series. 👍
@@BV3D sound's interesting!
Well, it’s November 18, 2022. Today I followed your video again, and installed the OctoKlipperPi program on my Rpi. I’ve told Klipper that my XVico-Lerdge-K-Creality E-Fit is an Anet A8, and here we go. I’ll be using the second half of this video to guide me through initial programming of Klipper. It’s interesting how familiar this is after I spent five months trying to get a Duet board to work.
So much has happened in three years. Now there's a OctoKlipperPi OS for the Raspberry Pi. Aren't you glad I suggested you check out Klipper? Talk about being on the ground floor of what has turned into a revolution! (November 13, 2022). Say Hi, Bryan, so I know you're alive!
I'm reviewing this video to help me set up OctoKlipperPi. On the other window I'm looking at the Klipper-Wrench display. Its very different from what you saw when you added Klipper to your install of Octoprint.
Great didactics in explaining! Please, make a video about how to setup Klipper :)
Honestly there's not alot of videos on it and most videos out there they expect you to already know steps
At 3:30 you asked if anyone has a good use for coordinate offset. If you install a different extruder to your machine quite often it will move the nozzle a little bit. My guess is the coordinate offset is for correcting that.
"The whole point of a computer is to make things easier right?" WRONG! The point of a computer is to tweak it until it breaks so that we have something to fix, then that means we have something we can tweak until it breaks which means we have something to fix. ;)
I keep wondering why no one has made fluidd, mainsail, or other os/firmware have you setup your printer and when you're done itll automatically upload the firmware to the machine with the necessary steps to follow
OMG!!! Thank you VERY VERY much!!! Woooow! in 2024 its still work!!!
Awesome. Thanks a lot. Greets from Germany
Always a pleasure
great information. where can someone find a data only usb cable? I'm powering part of my ender 3 pro when the Raspberry starts up...
That shirt!!! You should totally do a custom BV3D one "My Little Punny" 😂
Hi Welbot! Haha, I'm glad you liked the shirt. I need to get my logo digitized for my wife's embroidery machine, so I can put it on a hat. Her machine has an attachment to embroider onto baseball caps. I call it the Hat-O-Matic. 😄Anyway -- "My Little Punny" is a possibility. Thanks for the idea!
@@BV3D You could put a picture of a coughing pony on it, and under it "He's just a little horse" 😂
@@welbot You're going to have to nag until I do it. 😄
That was awesome
coordinate offset is for when your endstops are outside of your print area, so you don't print outside the build platform
Bryan, I am in process of building a voron switchwire. I am curious if this will work with setting up my configuration for a new install?
Klipper is fkn amaaaazing!
Thanks, Boboo5! 😀
Gr8 but would you mind clarifying please. When you install Klipper to Raspberry SD with Octoprint, will Klipper work even if you have not Klipper update printer firmware? EG do we still get same control but with less resources using Klipper with Octopi rather than Octopi alone? Thanks, Al PS I have trouble posting due to browser issues.
Nice video, but i got a question, got an ender 3 pro, so if a understood I can have a rasp 0 w with klipper, and a second pi with octoprint?
I have octoprint in a pi 4b and stock firmware but have a zero w getting dust around, thanks for your help
Excellent video!!! Did you ever get the BL Touch to work?
Hi Mark. I haven't gotten that far yet. I've got a couple of tuning items yet to do on Klipper (pressure advance being the first). I'm debating picking up a set of aluminum extrusions and turning this stock A8 into an AM8 or something similar. I'm having a hard time getting a decent level of accuracy out of this acrylic frame. I'm hoping with a more rigid frame, I'll get better Z axis alignment on the prints.
BV3D: Bryan Vines I have to say, after spending months and months with my AM8 build, well, good freaking luck with that. Every time I do an upgrade, it’s back to square-fring 1. Case in point: I just installed the wham bam bed. And Everything is now a complete mess. I installed the tronxy sensor, boy, was that a disaster. And I’ve been flashing the board to get auto bed leveling to work, and I finally through the tronxy in the garbage. (Decided to pull it out later.) after printing two beautiful vases, this is really disheartening.
Here's an idea: I'll send you MY AM8. You can give it a go, use it for a couple of videos, put klipper on it, see what it can do, that kind of thing, kind of, given this great frame, this AM8 with these bells and whistles, what's possible, let's see! And after some videos, you can show the world of TH-cam what one can accomplish with the lowly Anet A8 upgraded to a decent level. You could do a kind of comparison, of sorts. I bet a lot of people would like to see what's really possible with the Anet A8 / AM8 / with Marlin (2.0?), with the E3D V6 setup, with the Wham Bam bed, etc. And with Klipper maxed out. Maybe do three videos? something like that? Then send it back upgraded, to me? Interested?@@BV3D
Does klipper have an option for manual mesh bed leveling?
So how did you connect so easy? I cannot connect OctoKlipper to my printer even though I know my printer SKR v2 board is firmware updated with Klipper and I can run the printer with Fluidd with no problems. I briefly saw you have a /tmp/printer serial port.. How did you get that selected?.. I tried adding /tmp/printer but I cannot select or use it... . I cannot get Octoprint to connect . Until then I will have to use Fluidd
Can this be done with ender 3? And do you need to install the klipper firmware first on the pi? thanks
Hi Bryan, when did you flash the printer mainboard? Is the Plugin doing that? Thanks
Hi! I flashed the printer’s mainboard in the “Install Klipper on an Anet A8” video (th-cam.com/video/EX8dJkdcmJQ/w-d-xo.html). Hope that helps! 👍🏻
I followed your directions, for installing octo klipper, but when I start octoprint it can't find the configuration file.
Did I miss something?
Thanks
Love your show
I'm confused with the Clipper firmware on octoklipper. How is this used in relation to the Klipper firmware installed on me SKR 1.3 board? Does that still get used, or is this overwriting that one? I am changing probing settings in octoklipper but it's not affecting what the printer is doing.
The problem I had with Klipper configuration is that there was no file for my printer (CR-10S Pro V2), which does not have a z switch. It has a BLTouch and no pin information to enter into the Klipper configuration
hope all is well Bryan
Hi Zimmy! So far so good! Everything good with you? 😃
Okay, I think I know what the problem might be. There's nothing to see because the .cfg is 0.0 bytes. So, where IS the config file, I wonder aloud. Your help, because your videos are so clear and accessible, would be appreciated.
This is the 3d printing bill nye the 3d printing guy 😁
you can leave marlin flashed to the mainboard?
And I thought I was being all big brain running Xming and Gedit to change settings...
Still better for testing new stuff but I'm still glad I don't have to do it every time.
Tengo instalado en mi impresora firmware profesional mriscoc , si vale la pena reemplazar por klipper ?
Hello. I still didn't understand, there are only two devices here: smartphone and 3d printer board ?
Good Job!
Is there a way to flash the printer with klipper useing this plug-in? I'm just starting And don't have klipper flashed to my printer. Do I go through the whole klipper manual install,flash the printer and then install the plugging? Just looking for some direction...
Hi ocha6521, the OctoKlipper plug-in is a convenience tool, making it a little easier to work with Klipper. It gives you quick access to the configuration files and lets you set up macro buttons for commands. But as far as I know, the Klipper installation process is still:
1. Install Klipper on Raspberry Pi that already has OctoPrint on board
2. Create the printer's half of Klipper using "make menuconfig"
3. Flash the resulting printer firmware to the printer
4. Perform configuration tasks
I've got a half-hour tutorial showing how to do this with an Anet A8: th-cam.com/video/EX8dJkdcmJQ/w-d-xo.html
Newb question, but does this also require that Klipper firmware is on the printer, or do you only need to install it in Octo?
There's still a piece of Klipper that gets installed on the printer. OctoKlipper makes it easier to edit Klipper's config files and stuff
I’d think the offset might be useful if you print something, go to bed, etc., the print finishes, looks good from the camera, and you want to print another without having to go and clear the bed ...
That's an interesting idea. As long as the first print's position on the bed doesn't interfere with the homing of the axes for the next print, that might work. 👍
I’m not using ABL at the moment although I do have a sensor awaiting install. I’m printing on a mirror and I’ve had no trouble setting and forgetting it. Can the ABL take a one time measurement and store it so it doesn’t need to ABL before each print?
Everything worked great until 2:45 in your video. Octoklipper shows in the upper left, and Klipper appears in the menu bar. BUT nothing happens when I click "connect". Below connect I have a new button reading "Klipper Standby. I've tried reboot and reinstalling Klipper. No change?
i have the same problem, I mean it still prints, but i would rather print with klipper. have you found a solution?
Am I really you’re favorite?!?!
Yes, it's true. Even if you pronounce .GIF as "jiff" (as its creator intended). 😉
Matt.... Sorry to say but he pointed right at ME and said I was his favorite. Watch the video again and you'll see.
Well, I guess the good news is: I found the OctoKlipper / OctoPrint Settings window within OctoKlipperPi. It's down at the bottom of the OctoPriint Settings window under Plugings.
SO my Klipper tab doesn't have any text in it for me to copy and save as a backup...
Are you planning an update on this topic since this video is 3 years old?
every cool
Hi Paul! Thank you! How are things going with you? Warming up any in your area? 😀
Yeah... I pronounce you “The ANET Defornicator”! You aren’t a professional instructor by chance? Thanks for putting so much thought into your presentations!
Hi Jason, and thanks! That's a title I'll work hard to uphold. I'm not a professional educator, just a computer guy. I'm glad you like the videos. I do my best to make watchable content. 😉
@@BV3D
Brian, you mentioned the buttons on the Stock LCD having no current purpose with Klipper. You're gonna love this.
github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/blob/master/config/example-extras.cfg
check out lines 1194-1257. Kevin O'Connor really worked on this a lot! As an added bonus, he documents everything!
Just though you'd enjoy that...if you haven't' already found it.
Hi Jason, it looks like work is proceeding, but it's not quite ready (see github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/pull/977). Last update was less than a week ago, as of 2018-03-30. So it's actively being pursued. Perhaps in the next official Klipper release, it'll be available. It would be nice to have local control of the printer.
What a sad sad day. It turns out that the Lerdge K board, being based on stolen something-or-other, and closed source, will never work with Octoprint / Klipper. So I guess that's the end of my Xvico/Duet/LerdgeK saga. :(
So here's my first dumb question for today: I'm trying to see the printer.cfg file in the Editor panel. It says # Paste here and see your Klipper configuration. I downloaded the .cfg, but getting it to show up in the Editor eludes me. The editor says it wants a .gcode version of the cfg? This is why a video about OctoKlipperPi would be watched by millions of people, Bryan, don't you think?
