Klipperscreen - The Touchscreen Interface for Klipper

[@Vez3D]

Good work Nero. I love my KlipperScreen and would not want to deal without it. Been running for over a year now and it has seen lots of improvement. Its now a very nice product to use.

[@mrlime69]

Haha I feel kinda called out on the “large screen “ comment, I have a 7” Pi screen. It’s massive but works awesome

[@paulb4334]

I mean I you really wanted to you could swap a side panel for a screen and show the camera feed from the inside 🤣

[@becauseican2607]

do you have stl's for mount of the 7" Pi screen?

[@GoranMilici]

Yeah I have a 7inch panel duet or the BTT 7inch screen and if those are too big I have a 7inch LCD I got off of Amazon so I'm thinking 7 inch display is in my future. 😂

[@ernestgalvan9037]

“7” Pi screen… it’s massive” 🤣 As I stated in my other comment, my eyes are “more mature and experienced”. I’m pushing seventy, and sadly find that 13” or 15” screens are becoming necessary for being able to focus. A saving grace on modern displays is the far higher resolutions. I saw a current-gen iPad, 10” screen, and was amazed at how clear it was… still slightly difficult to focus, but useable. (Of course, the $$ was ‘hi-rez’ also 🤔) BTW, my main computer screen setup is a 4k 32”, with a 2k 32” and 2k 27” secondaries off my Linux Boxen. Yes… ‘old eyes’ indeed…

[@twincast2005]

My inner fourteen-year-old is having a blast. 🙃

[@excessnet]

I was on the edge of doing it, you convinced me... now it's done (10 days to canada from China!!) and I'm really happy with it. Just don't be stupid as me and use the DSI (Display) connector... no the CSI (Camera) connector... ! Not a big fan of the mount, but it does the job.

[@HairyTheCandyMan]

I just hooked my RasPi up to a projector. Now I have a 1000" screen. I made a huge plate of sensors that I correlated to the image so it's 'touchscreen'. I got one of those rolling ladders they use in a library so I could reach the top parts of the screen. Overkill for a 200x200x200 3d printer? Not a chance.

[@tomolsen8830]

Wow what timing! I just got back to configuring klipper after taking a break from it for a few days. Just powered up my ender 3 max and fluidpi and the KZbin suggested this video.

[@michelluccote]

I've been using KlipperScreen since it's early implementation. Developper was very responsive to the many issues I reported and now it works really well. I've installed it on a 3.5" and 7" screen and both are fully functional. Also used in on a Pi 4 and Pi Zero. The zero response time could be better but is still functional but a camera is not possible. The 3.5" were in an enclosure I modified from Thingiverse and mounted on ender 3 pro, ender 3 V2 and CR 10 Max. I was very happy with it.

[@CallistoPili]

PIZero2W is far better than PizeroW, i tested with two differnt cameras and the cpu load is absolutely fine, no issues on moonkraker and klipperscreen

[@michelluccote]

@@CallistoPili that is great news. Now I just need to find a place that still has them in stock.

[@BinaryBlueBull]

Awesome, I've been looking for a good graphical guide on this. Thank you

[@geoff1740]

Looks like you've been doing a bunch of work to the studio. The video from the new camera looks great.

[@CanuckCreator]

I have been and Thank you!

[@jcperdomoybarra1]

New camera setup looking goooood! Excellent content as usual!!! Cheers!

[@vibasept7733]

Wow that camera is sharp.

[@MrButuz]

This is great I just picked up one of these off amazon - I've been running back on fore to my PC for now since I built my voron. Cant wait to fit it!

[@enriquerey9921]

Amazing work and amazing video, im begining un klipper and I have a question. With the screen installed in the printer you also have the posibility to control the printer through web(Mailsail,...) Or with the screen installed can you only control the printer through the screen?? Thanks for all.

[@MD-NWWI]

I love Klipperscreen! I like the option to bed and to reboot or shutdown the printer without having to log into my PC.

[@erikhellman3974]

Sweet. Been wondering about this one for quite some time. Maybe something for my next Voron build. Would be interesting to see something with Quickdraw/Klicky probe as well :)

[@christopherpalm8023]

New Camera looks great!!

[@Serene-Scream]

This is great info, thanks. I just picked up an old Ender 5 Plus and am planning on converting to a BTT Manta with a CB1. I already have a Pi TFT50 to pair up with it. Looking forward to diving into Klipper for the first time. 😊

[@TheJacklwilliams]

I think this is what I’m going to choose for the Mercury upgrade. I’ve got a Sovol SV05 that should convert well and the BTT Manta/CB1 looks like an awesome choice for the brains.

[@Serene-Scream]

@@TheJacklwilliams unfortunately the Pi TFT50 is not compatible with my setup using the CB1 rather than a CM4 so I had to go with an HDMI display

[@TheJacklwilliams]

@@Serene-Scream Yeah, just like everything else tech I’m sure as I dig in I’ll find out quickly what works and what doesn’t. Cross compatibilty is a challenge to this day.

[@hankrooney]

awesome just what I was looking for, thx!

[@bryanho1777]

AWESOME VID! thank you so much man!

[@Arek_R.]

Someone needs to design some mechanism where it's retracted into the printer vertically, you push the screen, mechanism unlocks, spring and slow-down mechanism nicely retracts the screen. I believe it's something some of the desktop paper printers have. Aluminium black anodised bezel would be nice too. Lastly, not sure if it's a thing, but it could use some nice voron logo boot screen not the nasty OG RPI command prompt one, would make it look more professional.

[@franklees10]

Thank you. I just finished installing the software and fired up the screen, runs beautifully. I am printing the mount now. I also would like to see you tackle Quickdraw Klicky probe.

[@thatonedudejack]

can i get the mount link?

[@av_oid]

Was looking at that same screen the other day. Thanks for detailed intro. Will have to get one :).

[@simontillema5599]

Awesome dude! Do you know if this will work with the PITFT 43 as well?

[@PJ-ku5lp]

Ok, before I even watch the video, great update on the title screen. Now I don't need to fast forward through that old song anymore.. lol

[@eichof01]

you can mount a tablet and acces over wifi mainsail so you have all your options as well, I normaly use my smartphone...

[@simontillema5599]

Thanks! This did do the job for me!

[@izwanmohd]

Klipperscreen docs said "it doesn't even need to run on the same host", perhaps I can run a Pi Zero 2 W + 3.5 tft tucked it under my desktop monitor for "remote" monitoring? maybe add battery kit it become portable screen? :D

[@matyi1656]

I installed Mainsail OS to my Raspberry and KlipperScreen along with it, everything works except the touchscreen, which worked under OctoPi...

[@beauslim]

Of course now I *want* an old amber CRT as my printer interface...

[@kyleisah]

Not even going to talk about gcode thumbnails? That’s like my #1 feature. Great video though.

[@chrisc9213]

Good Day, perfect timing on the video, and thank you for making it. You mentioned in your video that there was a GPIO adapter, do you have a link where I can find more information on it?

[@MrSurtz]

I've been running Klipper for awhile now and decided that I would give KlipperScreen a go, I picked up a BTT PITFTF50 V2.0, the same screen that you have used in this video, but when I connect the screen to the Pi I can no longer connect to the Pi on Putty, I can't upload prints directly from Cura, Cura has an add in for this, and I can't connect by the web interface either.

[@robp.8899]

Nero, you have wonderfully informative videos. I have KlipperScreen installed and looking to see how to upload files to the printer from within it. If I heard you correctly in the video (5:18) you stated that you "CAN NOT" use KS to upload files. If this correct?

[@sorinaldea1562]

Hi, a movie on how to install raspberry pi screen on voron 2.4? Thank you for you wonderful work/presentation!

[@avejst]

great walkthrough video 👍😀

[@winandd8649]

Can you do a video of connecting a display via Canbus? (like a BIGTREETECH TFT35 SPI with the IO2CAN board ?)

[@xgeko2]

I don't just like the smash button I love it! :D xD

[@yvesinformel221]

It's nice to have a graphical interface but it doesn't really use colors extensively and the icons are very basic like icons from the 90s

[@kansascountry970]

I haven’t figured out how to like the smash button! 😂 thanks for the video though, looking to get this going on an old fire tablet I don’t use anymore

[@matthiasmartin1975]

Since there is an absolute drought of RPis, have you looked into using a RockPi as an alternative? They allegedly are faster than RPi3s and have DSI connectors. And you can still get them for what you used to pay for a RPi in the good old days. The issued that reviewers had with the RockPi might just all be irrelevant when used to run Klipper.

[@andrewholder4539]

Hey, fantastic video. Do you know if it will work with a Bigtreetech TFT 35? Thanks.

[@killertoast96]

The interface looks very nice! Do you know if there is an option to print via SD card or usb thumb drive? This would be more straight forward in my usecase (printer in an office) than uploading the files via network.

[@squirrelrobotics]

Exactly what I'm wondering too, not being able to normally is a major downside of Klipper imo

[@ALFrix0]

There is nothing more straight forwards than upload your g-code with the slicer... you can print right away, without even seeing the printer physically, and upload g-codes for later while it's printing unchecking the "Print now" checkbox

[@killertoast96]

@@ALFrix0 getting that and I have to totally agree... When you have the printer on an easy accessible network. In my use case it's a very locked down network that is controlled and managed by the IT people of the company. So not everyone has access to the network, especially with your private computers. So printing of a usb stick would just be much more convenient and easier to setup for everyone.

[@squirrelrobotics]

@@killertoast96 I second this, one of the reasons I want to build a V0 is to have a travel printer that I can take wherever I want with me. Setting Klipper up on every single different network is just out of the question.

[@killertoast96]

@@squirrelrobotics I just found an answer on the Klippers Discord from user Bjorn: "Yes you can setup your raspberry pi to auto-mount an usb drive and maybe just use a symlink from your gcode folder to the usb drive." So I think it is possible, but I can't verify it yet

[@AndreGreeff]

lol... yes indeed, I did "like that smash button". :) all jokes aside, that was really helpful information though, even 2 years later... I just recently picked up a secondhand Ender 3 v2, I think KlipperScreen on a "built-in" touch screen would be a nice little upgrade for it.

[@SudoMimic3]

Hello. I have a manta m8p and cb1 as well as the pitft50. When I plug the pitft50 in to the manta board the cb1 won't boot. I see that the manta has power it click the bktouch on. I have tried flipping the ribbon cable around. Nothing seems to work I have tried putting the tft50 on my old pi 3b+ and I get a screen. When the tft is not plugged in to the manta board. Everything boots fine i can access it from the web. Just not with the pitft50 plugged in.

Thanks for the video, it's very educational ... I have a question: which one do you like better and why, Fluid or Mainsail (last update)?

[@erikhellman3974]

Maybe his views has changed since there has been updates but I think most people’s reasoning goes something like this: “They do the exact same thing but they look different, I prefer the look of one, which is why I’m not using the other”

Pretty much this, i lean more towards fluidd

If you've used a 12864 and modified the settings regarding the menu tree, (I removed Octoprint section, added a park head and QGL option to the menu) and set it so that the 12864 displays the chamber temps, will this stuff transfer over on to the new menu? Does the KIlipperScreen have an option at startup to use a simulation of the 12864's display like some BTT TFT setups?

Klipperscreen is independant of the .config screen settings. Its its own thing
