- How to install klipper on the ender3v2, this is a fully stock machine and the default config works just fine, please be aware any changes to your machine may require adjustment to the printer.cfg file (keep your hand near the power button during your first home :P)
The guide should be similar for most creality 32 bit machines, , just use your specific printer config

I've used this video twice now, to sucessfuly install Klipper. I'm no coder, I just followed the steps clearly articulated. Thank's nero! What a service to the community.
I've just watched a bunch of your klipper videos. Very informative and a cut above the other ones I have seen so thanks for taking to the time to make them. I've got a pi in the mail to run klipper on my ender 3 now. I want to see how far I can push it with an orbiter DD extruder! Once I've got to grips with that I hope to do one of the Switchwire conversions on my E3 to build the confidence to make a Voron Legacy :)
Very well explained! Please keep the series with the other configurations. I will try klipper on my Anycubic Mega S.
After a long time being a Marlin only fan, I finally made the jump to klipper. Still configuring everything, but your guide really helped make the decision and go for it.
Same
Fantastic, thank you. I'll be installing Klipper this weekend, so this will definitely come in handy. If you're making Klipper tuning videos as well, that'd be much appreciated.
Instead of disabling "use USB for communication", select "serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9) communication" for Ender 3 v2.
thanks
thank you!
I
What does it change? Im just curious i dont fully understand the acronyms lol
@@Pdunns3D From my understanding, USART (Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is a means of serially (meaning one bit at a time) transferring data that would be used for the SBC (single board computer) to be able to communicate with your printer. Depending on the kind of printer you have, I am assuming some can communicate to your SBC by some other means besides serial data transfer. The letters followed by the numbers refer to names which correspond to relevant pins on the main PCB (Printed Circuit Board) of the printer). Depending on what kind of printer you have, the main PCBs vary so the pins and protocols might not necessarily be the same. I hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this walkthrough. I was able to install Klipper on my modded Ender 3 Pro/SKR E3 Mini V3 printer via Mainsail. Was tough for me as I am not a programmer but I was able to do it, all because of this tutorial. More power to you, Nero!
Can you share your printer.cfg file?
I liked that smash button. I think you should just say this going forward on purpose
For those wondering it's at 10:23
Oh yes, perfect timing for weekend project ❤️
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! smash like.
Thank you for this guide! In the normal guide from klipper it didn't say to rename the .bin filename. Thats why my installation didn't work at first. Now it's finally connecting :)
That's where i was doing it wrong for the last month. I messed up the steps where you doenload the config files and then upload it. Thanks for this. Going to try out out on one printer and if 8ts as good as I think, and you say it will probably go on all my devices.
Great job buddy!! Very informative! This will be very helpful for all the newcomers to klipper!
Brilliant Video! Soon my PI will arrive and ill be more than happy to approve you instructions. :D
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us👍😀
OMG I just liked the smash button. Again!
I just did this last night, could have used your video then! so far so good though.
This has helped a lot. I know this is two years old now and he does say he will make a new video when things change but I can't find it. Things changed a little in the setting of the USB section. I just left it as is and it works.
Amazing! Thinking about converting my MK3S Bear SKR builds to Klipper. Should be fun.
Thank YOU 🙏. These videos are so tight and clear. Thank you...... I’m getting closer to doing this (I don’t have Ender 3 so I’m still a little nervous I’m going to brick an adequately working printer 🤪🤣) 👍👍😎👍👍
Great video! Very easy to follow and format.
nice vid! happy to flash my ender 3 soon!
I need to re-watch this because moonraker decided it needed to be reset thanks for making a video that describes in detail how to set it up:)
Thanks.. Brand new to klipper Manual mesh bed level takes some getting used to :) Next up getting my m600 to work for me.. Please do more step by step on klipper.
thx for this separate vid.. the live streams are great but soo long sometimes to get the meat and potatoes.
Thanks for your clear and concise tutorial Nero! may I know if you plan to stick a working screen on the ender eventually? Was wondering which ones would work
Great install, got a little hung up at the "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*" command, just restarted the printer, unplugged it from the pi, and reconnected it. Ran the command again, and boom. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
I had to restart the Pi as well but worked. Went crazy there for a second until I power cycled lol
@@archie9441 I know right? Now comes the fun of figuring out the other config options for things like Mesh Leveling, and Bltouch....
Just wanted to say thank you for the great tutorial. Really streamlined the installation and learning process for me. Klipper has been a complete game changer - I was originally printing at a glacial 45mm/s on the stock firmware (going any higher would often compromise print quality). Working with the printer through the LCD, rotary encoder, and micro sd card was a complete chore and sapped all my motivation. Now i can comfortably print at 100-200 mm/s on Klipper with all the bells and whistles: 8x8 auto bed leveling, input shaping through accelerometer resonance measurement, and smooth pressure advance. The fluidd web interface is a joy to work with. Even when I make a mistake or modification, I no longer dread the process of recalibrating the printer.
This has let me grow up from a 3d printing babby to... insufferable 3d printing teen lol. 10/10 would Klipperize again.
So thank you very much and look forward to seeing more of your amazing content!
🐢🐢🐢 -> 🐇🐇🐇
Perfect guide thanks for the awesome video
very clear explanation, finally
I avoided Klipper for 2 years now, and in this time I configured dozen of Marlin configs for my printer. Seeing how easy this is, compared to Marlin, I kinda feel shamed for not even looking into it till now.
I hope I can learn it quicky, and might not be that easy, simply because nothing I use is "default" on my enders, a E3D titan direct drive, dual z, filament width sensors, etc. I think and hope that this video is a great start.
Great content as always! Do you know if it'd be possible to run 4 Ender 3 (a mix of V2 and V1's) out of a single RPI 3B?
"Like that smash button" - Nero3dp
Great video! I'll deff be referencing this for people.
Thats was so easy 😂 If i remember how i struggle to update marlin on my Cr-10 v2 because the bootloader chrashed while updating 🙈 thank you for sharing
Dude thanks so much I did it to my ender 3 pro!
Those looking to edit the config with printer setup "virtual sd...", it is under config>initial setup on the fluid website. took me a while to find it
Thanks for the tutorial
Cheers mate! much appreciated!
thanks man for the video
Great informative video
Awesome, thank you!
I am on your VIbe exept your skill and printers 😋
Brilliant and thank you.
Sometimes i wat h your videos just for the opening and closing music.
Awesome tutorial vid. Can you make one for setting up BLtouch on Klipper ?
10:20 "like that smash button!" great video. thank you!!! :D
Really nice video, I wish you made this video a month ago when I was struggling with this exact thing...
P.S. Any idea when is your V1 build gonna start?
Will start ordering componentd soon
@@CanuckCreator that's awesome, can't wait
hi, thank you for your video, very clear and professional advices.
I have an ender 3V2, but replaced to an SKR mini E3V2 and a TFT 35 display. do you know if I can procede exact like to the Ender 3V2 stock board and display?
This tutorial is really good! If is possible to make working with Octoprint so people can have the best of the 2 worlds? I know that is asking to much but as my grandmother use to say "the No its always guaranteed". Thanks and keep the good work.
Great tutorial.
I got it working, but some things have changed since the video was released.
I use RPI4 and Ender3 V2.
1. Klipper menuconfig looks a bit different, change last line to this:
Communication interface (Serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9))
2. I needed to use this command to find the serial id:
ls /dev/serial/by-path/*
Hey great vid! I've recently switched to klipper and love the features! My printer was running great until this week. I've been running into an issue were my printer stops mid print and I keep getting an error saying mcu unable to connect. I've checked all wires and have secured all loose wires and USB cables but keep getting this error. Idk why but I've even re flashed everything and still getting issue. Have you had this issue and what do you recommend me doing?? Thanks in advance
Superb content as always. Klipperize all the Enders out there! (after credit scene @11:17) xD
Well thats an editing goof i made. Good catch lol
so helpful !! u'r such a great ''teacher''!! good luck!!🌮🌮🍓🍓🍺
Thanks for the helpful E3V2 install Vid!!
Be great to see the Ender3 V2 printing something. See what you can push it to do. If the machine isn't up for being pushed very much faster than Marlin can drive it nicely, then there isn't much purpose for changing up from Jyers maybe?
I swapped the e3v2 to another controller shortly after recording this, but if you want to see what klipper on a stock e3v2 can do check out my livestream where we were printing fast (300mms 5-7k accel irrc) th-cam.com/video/jkEl_hjc9xc/w-d-xo.html
@@CanuckCreator ah cool. I'll check it out! Thanks!
hi, thanks for that nice tutorial. Im going to try to install Klipper on a Tronxy X1, i was not sure if you said it about if the controllboard need to have a bootloader installed..do it need it?
Sheesh I gave up following this, Ill take a docker config instead lol Seems like alot of work, I really want to try it one day
Is there a Chance you will do a more advanced version of this Video, like, setting motor Current, steps and all of that things that need to be done after a fresh flash ?
You're a lifesaver
Thank you🙏
this was a good video but i think it was missing something which freaked me out which is the Policykit permissions for moon maker.
another nice to have would be a what do we do after this? how do we get the first print going, etc..
So, with Klipper the screen is not used? Only the Wifi connection?
"Make sure you Like that Smash button" ;) Love your content, bud, don't sweat these little imperfections!
Great tutorial! I'd like to add something you didn't cover in the video:
Make sure you configure your MCU port by running command "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*" inside SSH terminal and making sure that matches the configuration file.
this shit doesnt fucking work i'm so frustrated ffs
I found on an ender 3 pro with skr mini e3 v2 board that in order to obtain the "/dev/serial/by-id etc. " you have to reboot the printer and the PI after flashing. I have seen so many posts about not being able to use the "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*"
I just completed a Fluidd/Klipper conversion to my Ender3v2. Your instructions were very helpful. I did this with a view to starting a Voron2.4 build as it gives me a chance to understand the software on a known entity. One question. I have configured the Z offset using the TESTZ process but it has still needed a little manual tweaking at print test time. How do I reflect this adjustment in permanent settings?
Did you ever find an answer to this question? I'm also having problems with that as well :/
@@SlinkyGangStudios yes - i used the offset in fluidd to fine adjust the nozzle when it was printing the skirt - i also added 3 more rounds on the skirt and slowed it down so i would have time to adjust it - then manually changed the commented out value at the end of the printer.cfg file. Now there is a save button next to the z adjust but you can only use it when a print is completed
@@wilddog6060 Awesome thank you!
Are you planning to make a video where to share how to use a single raspberry pi with multiple instances to control multiple printers?
Thank you so much for sharing the information. I have a Cr10-S5, can it install raspberry pi with Klipper, or do I need to upgrade the mainboard to skr?
Wow so many videos and no one mentioned the remove the screen part! So many days trying to flash it Ender 5 plus with Klipper firmware with no luck.
You could plug a USB SD card reader/writer into the Rpi and then just copy the file to it. You'd have to mount the SD card into the file system with the mount command, and probably would need a USB micro to USB A Female cable, or a USB hub to connect the SD reader to the Pi Zero.
is there a video where Nero goes more into depth on printer configs especially for a Voron 0.1, would love the help
Excellent guide, but please need to be update because most of the links are broken and some config options were moved
Great video :) Do you find a way to add a Klipper screen ?
What if my Ender 3 is not stock? Ender 3 Pro with v4.2.7 creality board with a e3D v6 hotend
Great video- thanks!!! I have heavily modded my e3v2 - BLT, blv linear rails, dual z axis lead screws with dedicated steppers, filament runout sensor, magnetic bed with flexi pei and microswiss direct drive and all metal hot end. How easy is it to modify the standard klipper firmware to incorporate these changes?
Would just need to edit the config file to add or adjust things to your specific printer
really thx, that's work
I've question for maximum speed
Can I just up in cura ?
Do I delete the M204
Thank you and excuse my english
P.S : Can I remove the SDcard et re-plug the screen after finish ?
Thank u so much great video. Is it possible to use an old notebook (windows 7) instead of the raspberrypi??
Great tutorial. :+1:
Is there a way to get the display to work properly? It's nice to have it at least display temperatures and print progress.
Ender 3V2 now supports direct serial according to the comments. Do I just connect this the the corresponding pins in the RPi4?
# If you prefer a direct serial connection, in "make menuconfig"# select "Enable extra low-level configuration options" and select# serial (on USART3 PB11/PB10), which is broken out on the 10 pin IDC# cable used for the LCD module as follows:# 3: Tx, 4: Rx, 9: GND, 10: VCC
ima like that smash button
I know you said it in the video but where do you go to change the camera settings? I am running Mainsail OS on my V2.4 and wanted to see what it was set too by default.
Would be the file.called mainsail on your sd card
Can you explain how to find out the Arduino pin layout? As I'm only have a Marlin layout for my MKS Gen L 1.2 board, and the config examples doesn't have mine listed
interesting note.. on the elegoo neptune 2 unplugging the screen prevents the firmware from flashing ;)
At 4:30 when using the command "make menuconfig" it seems to be assuming a single instance of Klipper/Mainsail? If I follow this tutorial but have 4 instances installed for 4 printers (on a Linux PC), will this be setting all printers to the same mainboard model? Is there a way to set each printer to their respective mainboards?
Is fluidd still you favourite and recommended UI or do you prefer mainsail now?
Unsure what one to use and stick with want powerful but intuitive interface to learn for my 3D journey
Fluidd development was paused for awhile so recently switched over to mainsail, but it is resuming soon.
Just use the interface you think is the prettiest.
Hello, I must have messed up something in my RPi configuration while trying to set a static IP because now it doesn't show up anymore in the network (or it can't SSH... can't tell).
Is it okay to just reflash Fluiddpi OS or will I lose all my Klipper configuration as well? Would really love to just fix the RPi without affecting my Klipper configuration.
You can use a computer also? For if i cant find a rasperryPI? Beacuse you use for the OS for running fluid in the browser or i can simply use my personal computer for this.
I have Creality CR6 SE incase i want to reinstall factory firmware, what would be steps? I have copy of firmware do i just need to create SD card with factory firmware and update?
Looks about the same as setting up octopi with a few extra steps. will klipper work on a e3pro?
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I'm trying to follow this with the Ender 5 with an SKR 1.3 board but am not sure which config file to use. Could you point me in the right direction?
The ender 5 config is probably for the stock board..so what i would do is use that one to start. But change the pin assignments to match the skr pins
Great tutorial, I am stuck, I have an ender 6 and followed your tutorial but I am getting an error "Internal error during connect: ConfigWrapper instance has no attribute 'getfloatlist'" what have I done wrong or missing? I used the config setting for my printer
like the smash button
I have watched it twice and I think you didn't mention what you did with the communication line in Putty after highlighting it. I believe that is my problem with getting my MCU to connect. Do I need to copy that somewhere in the config file in Mainsail?
Did you ever figure the mcu error out? I am having the same issue.
Thanks for your videos.
@Nero 3dp what is the best for klipper, Octoprint, Fluid or Mainsail?
For Mainsail and Fluid are there mobile apps like octopod for octoprint?
Between fluidd and mainsail is really a matter of personal preference for the UI
As for a mobile app, its not really require as both are build with modern web interfaces that work just fine on mobile phone size screens, so just connect through your phones web browser and you are good to go
@@CanuckCreator The advantage of an app like octopod is to be able to receive notifications of the printing status with a current photo taken.
Is there really a difference between Fluid / Mainsail and Octoprint?
Some of the Octoprint plugins are really handy.
@@fabiooliveira5857 ATM there really are no plugins for fluidd or mainsail simple due thier underlying nature, its a much lighterweight interface and its designed from the ground up for klipper. This lets it be lighterweight and require much less power to run, but on the downside its missing some of the underlying dependencies that some plugins require.
There is work being done though on porting some to them in the future.
@@CanuckCreator Hi
How can I access my fluidd from the internet?
I have already set up port forwarding on my router and added it to the moonraker.conf file, but it doesn't work.
Thank you for your help
@@fabiooliveira5857 fluiddpi.local or enter the IP adress of the raspi into your web browser
I had klipper working fine with my 8 bit board and installed a 32bit bit following this guide so I can add a bltouch easily. However, with my v4.2.7 I cannot seem to be able to disable usb as per your direction in make menuconfig. Perhaps unrelated but, the make is sticking at the stm32.o files with a MATLIB upgrade to 9.3 error finally coming up. Any suggestions? I used /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0 to flash my firmward fine before on the 8 bit. but cannot even get to this stage without the compile working. PLEASE HELP!
Hi Nero, I keep hearing "ssh" into your PI.... I am completely new. What is "ssh" mean?
I have an ender 5 plus with an OEM silent board v2.2.1 . I have to use the at2560 for make menuconfig. in the klipper/out folder it generates and klipper.elf and klipper.elf.hex file. I'm not sure if the ender 5 plus uses a bin file. Do i have to rename the hex file? when i leave it as is and copy the file onto an SD, then turn the printer on. nothing happens.
@Nero3D , I wasn’t able to flash my mcu on Creality CR200b, after restarting the printer, I didn’t find any .cur file in the sd card. Also ran ls/dev/serial/by-I’d/* command, which showed no such file directory. Checked my usb cable, works fine. Could you suggest me a solution??
1 year later and i had huge issues to connect fluidd with the printer and edit the printerconfig. maybe its stupid me , maybe its the new version . thx anyway for this series
How do i get correct temperature readings with klipper using Pt100 and e3d amplifier board? Is there a temperature table I can import?
