Excellent Video!
Yes! I’ve tried the Os packages from fluidd and mainsail. Oddly enough the mainsail didn’t work. However, Kiauh made my life so much easier and made a lot of sense to me. Worked every time for me
Thanks for this video series! I never knew about KIAUH and it makes the process a million times easier. Had Klipper up and running on my Ender 5 Plus in about a half hour. Now to go order a RPi touch screen...
This video deserves more likes. It's so much easier to follow. Minor hickup I had was my computer couldn't find resolve the local host name. Looking into my router I could see an IP address was allocated to the pi and the host name was there. Google showed that this was a common occurrence but the solution was not easy. Thankfully someone find a way to bash it into submission. If you have a local host issue . You can SSH into the pi using the IP address. Then install a program called samba on the pi using command line. Samba is a file transfer program between windows and Linux. Then it works.
This is the only guide that worked for me. Thank You!
Glad I found you. Am about to switch to Klipper, and thought many of the older instructions very cumbersome and difficult.
Found you searching for KIAUH
Thanks for posting, going your route !
Onto Video 2
Great to hear!
Love the content, but dude, please scale up the terminal screen to a READABLE size. Wide screen display is nice for you, but watching this even at 1080p its ....not good.
I agree with you, thought about it after I recorded these
@@Rolohaun of course you could also emphasis the terminal screen with titles instead, then you'd be nailing the information delivery big time.
I found this video a few hours ago, and I've been following your excellent instructions for the last hour or so. When I got to Mainsail, it reported an error. I followed it's guidance (reboot reload), and then it cleared the problem. But of course, I don't have Klipper on my Lerdge K board yet, so Mainsail noticed that. How it did that, I don't know because my Xvico/LerdgeK printer is off right now. So, it's on to your second video! Yahoo!
I truly wish I had come across your videos sooner.
This guide is so easy to follow. I've got my ender 3 8bit running on klipper now. Thank you!
Great tutorial! Miss links in the description, it would make it perfect!
Well my channel has come full circle now! My first DIY printer was a Vking! I did not like it because of marlin but it started the bug for me to design my own CoreXY printers. I added the links to the description, thanks for letting me know.
Just as a FYI, using a Pi 3B+ I have run 4 printers simultaneously, through 4 instances of Octoprint and Klipper. Now, that does not include any kind of camera usage, but it is definitely doable.
Great video! Thanks!
I think this is the 17th time I've watched this... you'd think I'd have it memorized by now...
Still coming back to this...
SUPER HELPFUL!!!!
Im going to be doing a klipper install livestream on monday. Ive never done it before so I figure doing it live will be entertaining
Yes
I’m about to break my laptop in half. I cannot ssh always get permission denied no matter what I do
what version of linux are you using?
@@Rolohaun I tried Linux mint and that failed, then xubuntu just like yourself. I finally gave up and tried to just do it all from my laptop without ssh and then mainsail couldn’t find my mcu. /dev/serial/by-id/ never showed me my usb port serial ID. I basically gave up cause I got problem after problem. Gonna by a sonic pad where it actually recognizes the mcu
@@Jejjing I will be doing a updated Klipper install guide on how to get through the MCU ID part. A lot of linux versions have a service you need to uninstall called brltty also people can run into issues with too large of SD card for flashing the firmware and other things
@@Rolohaun thank you very much. If I can get it working I’d love to do that because the sonic pad is $160 and my laptop is free lol.
you need to make sure SSH it setup when you install linux, try using ubuntu server and watch a guide on installing it
great video - nice overview. thx. can I also use the raspberry 64-bit OS. Everywhere is stated 32bit - is there a reason for that? thx.
64 bit uses more memory and it's not needed. 32 bit is fine
Thank you very much this is very useful video. But I am facing errors in later stage while installing klipper
try ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server for the Linux version I find they work better, if your using KIAUH is should install klipper with no issues. Make sure everything is the latest version
it didnt work for me what should i connect my raspberry pi with ? printer? or sonic pad ? and should i keep an usb flash pluged in ? thnk u
what didn't work? you don't need a Pi and sonic pad they do the same thing. Not sure what step your at
any idea why my fluidd/mainsail shown "incomplete" after installation?
i did remove it and reinstall again... no luck
are you using the KIAUH? You might need to try and wipe the SD card and start fresh
@@Rolohaun yeah, i read carefully then read a lot of error like public key and sign.
@@DGworksIvan you could also try MainsailOS as everything is preinstalled in that image
i had klipper and Octoprint installed on a Pi for my 10s Pro by a friend. Then My Laptop died and i bought a new PC. But it does not have the Pi access apps so I need to install them. My friend is too busy and I have to set this up to edit my config. So it seems I need Putty and Kiauh to access Pi, very all the installs to Pi and allow me to setup Pi and run the optimization code for Klipper. If i install KIAUH would i then be able see all the installed apps on the Pi to verify they are there etc. Then us Putty to load up OctoKlipper for my new laptop is that right? Whew! I hate being so disconnected with my stuff. By my friend was so fast I could not keep it or take notes. Made me wish I had just bought the Sonic Pad from Creality, but i was convinced this would be better and with the $50 Screen save me $100. No I have lost 3 days of printing and am in trouble, behind schedule too. Ouch! Thank You Dennis
if you install KIAUH it will show everything installed on the pi, there is no need to octoprint or octo klipper. you might want to download your printer config and just start over so your familiar with the setup. the BTT Pad 7 is better than the sonic pad as it has a stock version of klipper and not a hacked up version
Hello
I was wondering if this set would be the same as the BTT pi4 the new one that came out. And the tutorial is great and also the one for the pc install
I cant seem to get into the webinterface for mainsail, everything is installed and the logs dont seem to show any error even mirroring what the interface might show, but I cant remote in wiether I try to use IP or the Hostname, its all running on a HP laptop running rasberry Pi OS with SSH enabled.
if your using a Hp Laptop I really recommend using xUbuntu for the linux OS. I don't know how the Raspberry Pi OS will work on a X86 PC. I am going to be doing a video on how to install Klipper on a old laptop or desktop. Can you get to the Mainsail webpage when on the laptop?
@@Rolohaun So I've since moved to Ubuntu but found the original issue was I had the wrong IP, since I couldn't get the host name to work I have to SSH via IP. So I have been able to get to the Mainsail webpage on the laptop. the next big issue I had was getting kiauh to pickup the printer via serial or USB, I checked lsusb and I can see the printer shows up as a new device but after flashing the printer with the recommended settings from (cr10 smart Pro printer.cfg) I see nothing when requesting 'get MCU ID' For USB it tells me 'No MCU found' and on Serial it always says 'ttyS0', this doesnt change if there is no USB connection to the printer so I assume this is a dud signal.
I'm looking down the route of getting a Pi Zero 2 W just to tinker and test but I'd ideally like to have this as an option too and so am greatly looking forward to your video, I'm sure im just doing something silly at this point.
@@voidmarvel2682 you won't see the printer show up until you flash the board correctly. You will know it works when you get a blue line of text with your klipper ID when you run the get I'd command.
@@Rolohaun that’s what I figured, after going back over these videos, I tried so many iterations of firmware settings but I’ll be starting from scratch (today? I’m in the UK), still thinking it must be some sort of firmware issue cause the printer is so new (cr10 smart pro).
@@voidmarvel2682 google cr10s pro klipper bin you should be able to find some tips
awesome video!
do you have to install the full version if it will be only used inside one printer? advantages/disadvantages of the lite version? thank you
you should choose the normal version of raspberry pi os
Were going to take another run at this today, for a variety of reasons, all of them my fault.
best of luck. sometime it take a few tries and you always learn more each time
You could link these videos to a 2023 update video to drive traffic from them to it.
I did everything, shows klipper, moonraker, mainsail installed. However it also shows "octoprint" installed. As far as I can tell thats the only difference. BUT I cant get the .local to work. Should i try "removing" octoprint, bc that feels weird lol. Great video though
I also installed the Klipper version of octoprint
you don't need octoprint, I do not know if that will affect anything though. There can be permission issues with trying to connect via .local. I recommend using IP address if you can, if not you can try using the Firefox browser to get hostname.local to work
I don't think you can have both Mainsail and Octoprint installed at the same time since they would both try to bind to port 80.
I have installed klipper on terminal for 1 printer. Now after 4 months I have bought second printer. How to add second printer to klipper?
your should be able to re-run the KIAUH script and add more instances of Klipper
Hi there, I am looking for a tutorial on installing Klipper on Linux mint/Ubuntu. I already installed on Mint but I can't connect to my printer, is there any guide you have?? or you maybe have plan to make one? tnx
yes I do plan on making one, I recommend using xubuntu or debian linux. Linux mint has issues
use ubuntu server, there should be easy guides already on youtube
curious, I don't have that gear icon to setup parameters
never seen that before, could be your browser?
@@Rolohaun no, I notice I did not have the latent version. It's OK now
Is it same for a orange pi zero 2
there may be a few diffrent steps but you should be able to use KIAUH and a Debian linux version for the orange pi. Users on my discord use them
@@Rolohaun ok thanks do I have to use armbian or is Debian fine
@@Maxtherocketguy I think you need to use a armbian version for the orange pi
@@Rolohaun thanks
How to you get to the web interface if you installed it on a Linux pc?
you can access it by going to the IP address of the linux pc
@@Rolohaun I was about to ask the same thing but is it supposed to be on a specific port like "linux-ip":5000 because nothing loads if I just go to my linux ip address I might just try to reinstall and see what happens
If you have a local DNS server, then add the IP address to your DNS server. If you don't and are working from a Windows PC, then modify "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" file and
append an IP/lookup pair so you can now browse using any URL name instead of having to use the IP address.
This tutorial is just awesome. Just a question: Is kiauh workin on a NON RaspberryPi device? (like Orange pi, Pine64, etc) . Thank you in advance ;)
thank you, yes KIAUH will work on any linux device. Orange Pi, Old Laptop, whatever just make sure your running a debian based linux os!
@@Rolohaun Great,you just made my day 😁. Btw, in your experience, how powerfull should be the "secondary" board ( raspberry or similar) to run perfectly fine Klipper? And Does the cpu power of mainbord influence the performance anyhow? (sorry for all these questions and I really appreciate your help)
Do i need to set up ssh if i only have a pi without wifi?
you need SSH if you don't have a screen connected to your Pi, I would still recommend turning on SSH so you have remote access your Pi
@@Rolohaun ok but i'm only printing from a memory card and the pi and printer does not have wifi so how do i connect to it with ssh? Soz real noob here.
@@kennethcartman9744 which raspberry pi are you using? you will need internet access to download the packages for klipper to work
@@Rolohaun old pi zero. i have internet at home, just no wifi on printer or pie. I have found out what the ssh is for but could not get my head round it at the time. Thanks for help.
That was awesome ! how do I get to the Kiauh web page?
Check out part 2 and 3 they will help
Thx Ro !
I wish I would have made the text larger and easier to read, I will note that for future videos!
Great video. echo on the below comments re .local. It's a total waste of time, I have no end of systems and NEVER has this worked over the last 10 years +, I don't know why people ( attempt ) to use this in installation videos where you are on edge getting everything up and running, your mind is here there everywhere, and then the great .local brick wall. WHY not just give the IP info and at least you get them going and they can smash their head against the .local nightmare while they are now calmly printing something. Whoever came up with the .local fiasco needs sacking. But many thks again for the rest of the very informative vid.
Yes I agree IP is usually best
Well . . . I've watched all three of these videos multiple times. I've made written notes from them. I've followed your actions, and repeated them on my own multiple times as well. But at the end, after I did everything correctly, MainSail is saying no, this is going to fly. It can't find certain files. It's somehow incomplete. These videos are missing something. That's what I'm thinking. But on the upside, with all of these comments, you should be able to tell what this series is missing. Maybe you can make a fourth follow-up video? That addresses some, or all of the questions I and others have raised? I hope the object of your creativity was to accomplish something. I hope a fourth video will accomplish that. Mark
I don't believe anything is missing in the series. You have to remember these are almost a year old now and kiauh and klipper have changed since this. I will me making an updated series for 2023. I made this series while setting up my own board and everything from scratch
@@Rolohaun Someday, someone's going to figure out how to update videos to make them continually current. Won't that be helpful! I'm starting from scratch this morning. With Video no. 1!
you are right somethin is missing mainsals connect
@@Rolohaun So, then, something IS missing.
@@Luka1180 Many people have used this series and had no issues. I really do not know what would be missing. What part are you stuck on? have you joined my discord, member their can give more assistance.

Any suggestions?
Fixed it, i did a sudo apt clean to remove corrupted cache files
glad you got it fixed!
Here's another suggestion for how to make your videos / channel better. Whenever you say something, like saying you're going to do X, cut that dialogue, and show you doing X instead. The literary rules is Show, don't tell. I think it's better to say, always show anything you wanted to tell us. Another suggestion: you have a high-energy intro, and then you start talking. Your voice is somewhat passive, and lower in volume than the level your intro is set at. If your lead-in is going to be low-key, you could set it up with a low-key intro, or, keep the intro, and dive in with the same energy.

Are you using the IP address of your klipper machine or host name?
I have the same issue and I’m using the host name
@@colemcdonald4290 use the ip address hostnames need some extra work depending on your browser. IP always works
@@Rolohaun How do you find the IP address of the RPI?
@@evidentloss you will need to login to your wifi router and find it. there should be guides on youtube to do this. Just search your router model
Please pardon the coffee-infused thinking this morning: another thing you might consider is dating your videos. For example, in the above video (Part 1 of yur KIAUH / Klipper install series), you're sing the Pi Imager version 1.7.1, but the Pi Imager I have is 1.7.3, so, there are additional choices on that fill-in page now. But your video doesn't address them. I'm assuming they're not on your version? If you said something, like, "This video uses the Pi Imager version 1.71, if you have a different version, your form might look different," that might help people deal with the confusion when they see what you're doing, and what's on their screen doesn't jive with it.
yes I agree and good idea
@@Rolohaun Here's a question for you: Do you see yourself as a video editor, or are you an engineer, or something like that who presents information with videos? I'm asking because I think of myself as an editor, and if you don't, I'd be willing to help you. My work is on TH-cam: th-cam.com/play/PLY94cefXeutK6v38iFffCVgQPFhjYpENe.html

Lol i had kiauh recomended by someone in the klipper comunity and i told him it wasnt working not realizing i only installed klipper and not the other 2 🤦
oh yes KIAUH is a huge help
