Installing Klipper Firmware On A Laptop Or Desktop (Pi Alternative)

[@ModBotArmy]

When using Linux Mint you will want to disable the helper applications: sudo apt remove brltty sudo systemctl disable ModemManager sudo reboot If you are having issues with Linux Mint, Ubuntu Server has been recommended as a better alternative.

[@MattJonesYT]

"Ubuntu Server has been recommended as a better alternative" By who? I first tried installing kiauh on ubuntu and ran into problems with it saying "--allow-releaseinfo-change is not understood in combination with the other options" during the klipper install. I tried removing all of those flags from the install scripts but it just got another type of error so I gave up and am now installing mint

a free mini PC attatched to my Ikea LACK enclosure is a lot cheaper than getting a Pi :p I am using ubuntu server tho, as it is what i was already familiar with, works perfectly. Kiauh is a blessing!

[@TheJacklwilliams]

Definitly the man! I just got a Sovol SV05 and I want to setup a clipper terminal for it! The creality touch looks great but??? I’m cheap! So, question! Has anyone done the same with a cheap Android tablet? My thoughts are, I’d have touch, and a bluetooth keyboard… If it’ll install, either on Android OS, or bounce that and drop a Linux Distro on it? YAY!!!!

[@dumdumreviews7436]

The lightest Linux in my opinion is Ubuntu server, that has no desktop environment, but if you need a desktop then mint working fine. If you want to have klipper screen n don't wanna buy pi display, you can use your old android phone using usb or wireless, the guide exist on internet. I tried because my Bigtreetech PITFT50 was defect at the arrival so I had to try other way. The big advantage of klipper screen are Z-Offset // Input Shaper calibration directly using the touch screen without g-codes or macros

[@FilmFactry]

I assume the laptop doesn't go to sleep on a long print? If the Laptop were to sleep or shut off is your print dead? Or is the Gcode on the mainboard?

[@BBMando69]

I started running klipper on a laptop over a year ago. I got a ton of crap for it back then. Now i find it funny that others are doing it.

I was running old PC laptop with octoprint somewhere around 2016-2017 and it was the best.

Has anybody found a way to use an ADXL345 (or similar) with this setup? There seem to be accelerometers with a native USB interface, but I'd have no idea of how to get klipper to find that device

[@santiagopostorivo]

With a raspberry pi pico. There are various tutorials that cover this

[@uncleslapslap]

[SOLVED] I couldn't access the mainsail GUI with IP or hostname. This is for the step at 12:47 of the video which is the most played part of the video, so possibly others are having the same issue. I disabled the Linux Mint firewall (Terminal/SSH command "sudo ufw disable") and it all worked as described in the video. This is December 2022 with Linux Mint 22.1 (Vera) so I am assuming that when this video was recorded, the firewall was off by default for a new install, or @ModBot had previously disabled it and omitted the step in the video. Hope this helps someone.

[@guslaursen5091]

You, sir, are awesome. Came to the comments looking for this exact information because I followed every direction up to this point and couldn't log in. Evidently my firewall was still active, but once I ran that sudo prompt, all was good. Thanks!

[@Graeme758]

Good catch, I got stuck there, too. Once I got in I wasn't faced with his screen though. I had 'klipper reports error, mcu unable to connect.' I clicked the restart option and klipper started up but reported printer not ready. Should I have a printer connected at this point, there was no mention of that in the video?

Hello. If you could make a video about installing Klipper on the Inovato Quadra, that would be awesome. It's a fairly new Single Board Computer and only cost $30. I just bought 2 and installed Klipper on it. It was a very simple process and now it's working great. I hope more people could find and alternative to the overpriced Rasberry Pi in this chip shortage period. Thanks

[@g.4279]

Can you do a video for Klipper on old phones? They seem to be far cheaper than a Pi and are multicore ARM devices.

[@MrStoffzor]

There are step-by-step instructions if you look around some. You'll need an otg adapter and some way to charge the phone while connected to the printer. I started this process and could ssh into kiauh on the phone but lacked the right cables to hook it up to the printer, so I ended up using an Ubuntu partition on my laptop instead

Thank you very much for this instructional video. I found it enormously helpful. I wanted to run Klipper but Raspberry Pis are so expensive. I ended up buying a secondhand Lenovo M73 mini desktop running an i5 4460 for AUD$12.50. I use it to run 3 instances of Klipper. It seems to do the job pretty well. Thanks once again.

[@filanfyretracker]

One thing I did for my Octoprint Pi that probably could apply to this too. Found my machine in the list of devices on my router and assigned it a static IP in the router's DHCP server. This way the machine always gets the same IP address. Basically you find the MAC address and you can make sure that network device always gets the same IP. you can also just assign an IP static in Linux as long as its outside the range your router uses for DHCP. this just makes life easier especially if you assign your slicer to be able to export right to a printer you will never be trying to figure out the IP if the router decides to change what it gave out when you first set this up. If I could replace the fan in this Intel Atom box I have in a closet id so use that for Klipper or similar if I built a Voron, Pis are basically impossible to find.

[@Guardian_Arias]

yes, good point, not everyone uses static IPs, with MAC address whitelists and forces the router to report the wrong gateway IP when an auto query is received.

[@toshlarue]

Stuck at 13:05 in video says from my main desktop im going to type in the IP address. I cant find were you opened mainsail. I see all installed but not sure how to open it. No icon and confused

I plan on doing this for my E3 S1 Pro, will I need to set up a touch display with klipperscreen or can everything be managed from the PC directly?

[@lifetech101]

Excellent video. At what point do we plug the printer into the laptop? Can we use a USB hub with 4 ports if we are running 4 printers? Is there anything special we need to do to the printer before plugging it in? Do we use the printer menus still for z offset ect? Thanks

[@Graeme758]

I needed to know this too. I get stuck at the first log into mainsail, it just says 'klipper reports an error, once it's fixed restart' but no clue what needs fixing. Really wish I had the skills to make Klipper for Windows.

[@jeremyrileysmith]

New issue....sorta. I have my E3P connecting with no problems, if you see my previous post, you will see that after using a different cable, that appeared to have resolved the issue. But my E3S1 still won't connect. I tried using the same cable at teh E3P with no luck. KIAUH is saying MCU either not connected or not detected. If I plug it back into my raspberry pi, it connects just fine. Just doesn't seem to want to communicate with my linux mint set up. Like I said, the E3P connects with no problem, even with the same cable. Any suggestions?

[@Guardian_Arias]

I hate google, for the past year I've been periodically searching for ways to run klipper without a Pi because it's overpriced and i could by old PC for half the price of a Pi 3 or free with failed or no HDDs. Finally with the search "klipper no pi" this pops up after i get Marlin with input shaper working. side note one can run Linux straight of a thumb drive by creating a live USB and since Kiauh just runs within any debian Linux environment I imagine one can run a Virtual Machine like VM VirtualBox and simply use the you slice your files in. Which for most of us i bet sits right next to our printers.

As much as you showed - you are using totally wrong distro! Since you are using terminal and ssh only - you dont need GUI at all. So for as compact installation as possible - try using Ubuntu server, during the setup you need to check on ssh and as long as you are using terminal and ssh only - you will be just fine!

[@rcvg69420]

I've got an old small form factor office computer I was given a while back I use as a bit of a server at home. It's got a 6th gen i5 and 16 GB of RAM so it's pretty beefy. It has Proxmox installed for the hypervisor and as Virtual Machines it runs OPNsense for my home firewall/router and Ubuntu server with mainsail installed on it. It also runs a container for my plex server, a container for my unifi server, and another container for my pi-hole instance. Pretty cool how you can take old hardware thats destined for the junker and give it new purpose like this. I think using an old PC for klipper makes a ton of sense over a raspberry pi just for availability reasons. Also, regarding how much klipper you can run on a PC.... a lot is the answer. A print on my ender 3 with input shaper enabled loads the system like 5% or so? Which isn't much higher than idle which is around 2%. No doubt a PC from even 8 years ago has way more punch than a raspberry pi.

[@bcboncs]

What mainboard are you using on your ender 3? I have ender 3 pro and upgraded to btt skr 3 v2.0. Not sure how I would go about installing klipper and connecting to my 3d printer. Didn't see that mentioned in this video. I also have a NAS with unraid and containers, I'd love to do opnsense at some point too if I can figure out how to multi boot 3 OS from 3 different bare metal hardwares. Anyway that's another rabbit hole haha. Any recommendations on getting my ender 3 pro btt skr 3 v2.0 mainboard working with klipper via a docker container in the lowest cost effort would be appreciated. I put a decent amount of $ into these upgrades and the remote control and input shaping/klipper is the last I desire before I drop 1g on next bambu 300mm bed competitor.

I used an old Thinclient for Klipper. Theese can be extremly cheep (I paid about $10 for a Fujitsu with D3003 ipx mainboad, 2GB Ram) and also about $10 for an 16GB msata. Worked quite nice, and is extremly cheep. I used normal Debian without GUI.

[@ui4lh]

I also did the same, and I love it. 1.5Ghz CPU and 8GB Ram expandable to 16. way more than enough for Klipper.

[@ModBotArmy]

That is awesome. I am so used to shuffling printers around that it didnt make sense to me at first but many do not move their printers around nearly as much and it is a great solution.

[@oleurgast730]

@@ModBotArmy Actually I intend to upgrade my Anycubic Chiron to Klipper - with a very heavy 400by400 bed being a bed-slinger practicaly cries for input shaping. Due to the big size there should be no problem to integrate the D3003 board directly down in the printers base. As the power supply in stock configuration is at it's limit anyway, it is recommended to use it only for bed heating and a seperate PSU for printerboard, steppers and hotend. As the D3003 can be powered with 24V, I will choose a second PSU with enough current to supply the D3003 also. This is one other advantage of Thin Clients: They are small enough to be integrated in a printer base. You could even use some leg extensions on a prusa mini with prusas printerbase and place the d3003 under it. You just have to upgrade the power supply by one with some Watt more power to avoid using two supplys. While the printer becomes a bit higher, it is as easy to transport as before (even more easy as the stock printer, as with the base PSU and spool-holder are integrated also. As theese boards are designed to be cooled passive, you can place them even in a warmer environment if you simply add a fan. Only if you use the printer inside an enclosure I would recommend to put the Thin Client outside the enclosure as you should to for the PSU also. But a printer with enclosure would not count as a "mobile" device anyway, I guess... (Actually I just transported a mk3s+ inside an Ikea Lack enclosure, stumbled and droped it - luckely just some ugly scratches on one of the doors but anything else survived. An experience I do not want to repeat...)

[@Musclemustang351w]

It's board specific. So if you are using multiple of the same board they will all communicate on the same interface. For example, the octopus pro PA11/PA12. This will be the same for any octopus pro you flash. Where it differs PC side is each config file will have different serials identifying which main board is for each printer.

I tried to install on a really old laptop. Intel Atom processor and 1GB of RAM. It was painful, but here are some tips: Use a high quality SD card reader. Those cheap Chinese SD card readers aren't reliable for jobs like this. I tried a USB drive but it was painfully slow. Be patient. It takes a long time to boot from USB. If you can, use USB 3 ports or boot directly from SD card. My laptop couldn't boot directly from SD card. If your laptop is very old, there's a chance it will simply crash before making it to the end. When booting, choose compatibility mode. If the install fails, re-flash the SD card or try a different one.

For the record this only works for 64 bit systems, as last 32 bit compatible Mint version is incompatible with Klipper, and attempts to use other distributions makes you wish you rather shit yourself through your nose than spend more time testing every possible option.

I know this video has been out for a while. you helped me out so much when I upgraded by board and could no longer use my stock LCD screen.

When I completed install then clicked restart, I removed usb and it gave me a bunch of rolling errors. Now I can’t load up without error

[@stanislawleszczynski3729]

So... i got klipper error on configuration. "Klipper reports mcu 'mcu' Can anyone help?

Git-bash is just Cygwin; if you have it, you have dd and /dev. None of this "Balena etcher" bs.

3:47 it does indeed ask for a password in windows 10. (at least in my non admin account) currently writing to the USB flash drive.

When you flash klipper to your 3d printer will you still be able to use the printer firmware to print with sd-card?

I ran Fluidd and klipperscreen on an old windows tablet, and mount it up, everything is perfectly fit!

I have a Gateway NV57H77U RUN THE xFCE EDITION OF Mint?

[@sobolanul96]

Is there any way to install this on manjaro? It uses the pacman install command and yea... not working. I't a noob with linux. Thx

[@jonnysimps]

can you make a turtorial thats only about this installation, because i could do everything until the adding multiple printers part, because i dont know how to turn on mainsail or open it in my windows laptop, i tried opening it in my linux machine which i use for this installation, and i typed in the ip address and its not working

[@kokodin5895]

for me the most atractive board to use klipper on would be cheap junk, so probably i would pick up broken laptop motherboard alone, because i would really love to have sd card reader open for gcode and probably would love small screen with simple ui replacing linux gui shell nad have printer as a stand alone device so it would be hilarious to just install firmware on old 8bit discarded ender board and run it from trashed laptop board it would be like 20$ combo in place of overpriced brand new single board computers and you could probably use trashed chromebook for that too

[@damono86]

Thank you Brotha, I feel as if I can accomplish harder task (easy for you).

[@tpoacher6965]

Where did you go after leaving the Linux Terminal?

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

@modbot nice nice those T420's are still really good laptops and you can amp them up to 16GB ram even the Lenovo site states 8GB would be the limit

[@ModBotArmy]

I am pretty sure one of my coworkers at the time recommended it basically as a cheap laptop that Erin could use for school. She inherited my previous gaming laptop which is way more speced out but they are solid work laptops.

Python 2.7? I thought it was deprecated a long time ago. Do not forget to upgrade the system.

[@mickbastion]

Hi, can i run all this on a disk partition (virtual disk) of my pc without erasing all the data from the other disk partitions?

[@Bukton5000]

This is what I was waiting for. Thank you for making this detailed video.

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

Can’t believe there not just a windows version madness given that a massive percentage use windows for slicing 🤯

[@francescomuzi7698]

I have an old all in one pc to use, can I use klipper screen on that? Why you only talk about opening klipper on another machine?

[@im_novacon_]

i have been trying this for over 6 hours now and i keep getting the mcu unable to connect error

[@3rutu5]

Is it true that you've flashed klipper onto a microsoft surface?
