Hey everyone! Hope this helps you unlock the full power of your K1. Let me know in the comments how your prints turn out after Klipper! Feel free to ask any questions you have about the process, and if you found this helpful, consider subscribing for more 3D printing adventures!
Thank you for watching! If you connected your K1 to your WiFi while following the first-time setup wizard, then the installation process is all wireless, so no need for any USB connections. The important step to install Klipper is, that you have to unlock root access. Only then you can log in to a shell, using an SSH client like Putty. The part in the video explaining the procedure starts at 1:49.
Thank you for watching! I had planned to include using the Camera Settings Control in the video, but unfortunately, without changing the code, it can't be installed when you have the new revision of the AI cam installed. Even when I managed to get around that, it still requires modifications to the code, which would have been beyond the scope of the video. If you have the older revision, then you can install it. To be able to change the 2nd cams settings, you have to modify the camera_settings.cfg and exchange all video device references to your 2nd cams device. As soon as I have a good solution, I do a pull request to the helper-script, so that it will be possible in the future.
@@3D_Printing_Geek yeh my problem is that I have the K1C I’m able to have the 2 cameras but my webcam keeps trying to autofocus and the timelapse looks bad 😅
@PedroGomes_27 Until there's an easier solution (I'm making progress on that🙂) you may try to disable and set the 2nd cams focus using from the shell using the commands "v4l2-ctl --d /dev/video5 --set-ctrl=focus_auto=0" (this disables autofocus) and "v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video5 --set-ctrl=focus_absolute=17" (to set a fixed focus value, experiment with the value until satisfied). Youmay have to change the "/dev/video5" by whatever your USB-cam is. You can get a list to identify your 2nd cam using "v4l2-ctl --list-devices". Let me know if that solved the issue.
I got to the Fluid page and it says 502 bad gateway nginx/1.17.7 when i try to put my url into the fluidd page. This stinks and my software vocab isnt good enough to understand what half the people are saying on different sites. Good video though thank you!
Okay if anyone else is struggling with fluidd like i was, the SOLUTION to my above problem was removing moonraker & nginx and reinstalling (the problem has happened twice so far). Also on fluidd to enable TIMELAPSE you have to go to the moonraker.conf file under the configuration tab and scroll to the bottom. There you will just delete the #'s on each line of code under fluidd. It tells you in the code comments there. Hope it makes someone have an easier time.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like you've found a solid workaround for the fluidd issues. Your tips will definitely help others who are facing similar challenges!
@matgyver2360 Since I think that only the printer.cfg would help, I put the whole config folder packed together for you to download. It may not be the latest but it should help you get further. github.com/3DPrintingGeek/Klipper_K1_config/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
@@3D_Printing_Geek Thank you VERY much! It's amazing how seldom people share their config files. It will substantially help others get started. Thanks again!
I'm interested in understanding your perspective on this. In the video, I actually demonstrated the full functionality of Klipper on the K1. Did you have a specific extension in mind, like Crowsnest, which isn't part of the core Klipper software? It's important to note that for extensions to work on the K1, they need to be compiled specifically for its processor and Linux version. Just to clarify, Klipper itself remains fully functional on the K1 and doesn't differ from other installations in terms of core functionality.
Two things I struggle with. One is when a YT channel owner doesn’t respond to most/all comments. Two is when a comment is responded to and the poster doesn’t respond. I’m guessing either your response clarified his/her comment or, they were just trolling. Either way, I’m three days in to my K1 SE (awesome so far) and looking forward to learning Klipper. As such, thanks for the response. Works for me.
Thanks for that. I try to answer all serious questions as long as I'm able to do so. For the TO ones I did, though it looks a little bit like a troll's question but I thought my answer could clarify the misunderstanding. That said I'm happy that it has been useful for you in the end 😊
Thanks for a Great informative easy to follow video. Very well done. I’ll also be subscribing for your future videos.
You're absolutely welcome! I'm glad you found the video valuable. Thanks for subscribing, that means a lot to me!

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge in such good and simple way.
So happy you liked it! Stay tuned for more awesome content!
Great Video! did i miss something tho? do i need to hook up usb for the installation or is it all wireless? thanks in advance

Great video, Any way I can change the second camera autofocus/settings?

Can you provide your printer.cfg file?

But it isn't full klipper
