The n4p, just like the n3 and n2, needs a clip for the filament runout sensor that has a short section of bowden tube on the input. Even 1cm is enough. The brass ring will wear out when printing certain filament types. It hasn't happened to me but I have seen pictures on facebook.

@Dirt-E-Bikes 11 ай бұрын

Interesting, didnt hear of that problem yet. Thanks for the info 👍 Do you have the n4p?

@yoyofargo 11 ай бұрын

@@Dirt-E-Bikes I have the n4p yeah, and a n3max and several 2S's. Btw those $10 webcams on amazon work just fine with the n4p. I use a pa552 on mine but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it. Mine was $9 not on sale and it comes with a tripod. Though a custom mount would be nicer. You just have to SSH into your printer with putty and enable/start the webcamd daemon, then in fluidd enable the webcam in settings. The resolution can be set to 1080p inside the webcam.txt configuration file if the default 480p isn't enough.

Hi, great videos, thx for them. Where can I find the video regarding connecting the printer to wifi?

@Dirt-E-Bikes 10 ай бұрын

Hi markus, in an earlier video I showed very briefly what I think is the easiest way to connect the printer to the wifi without explaining that much. In my case i only followed the description in the manual that comes with the printer... i first connected it with my network by cable and typed in the IP adress of the printer in my browser and it worked. Then i buyed this cheap wifi-extender thing that i show in the video and thats all to do (maybe you have to install something from the USB stick that comes with the printer, but im not sure if that is necesary, its a while ago) if so, it would also tell you in the manual as i only did those few steps that are showed there and it worked. I will search you the video so you have the link to the product i used for it...

Some ideas for another one of these if you wish. KUSBA v2 accelerometer for input shaping for hardware has an STL on elegoos official discord. There's also a new fan shroud design that removes the need for the loud part cooling fan. Could also mess around with obico on the software side. Would also be super interested in seeing how this performs with stock klipper as well.

@Dirt-E-Bikes 11 ай бұрын

Hi there and thank you for the good inputs 👍i have to look in to that. One of my subscribers also did a new design of the fan shroud that looks very promising, and as soon as his design is ready i will try it and show it here. Would be very nice to get rid of this jet turbine sound ;-)

Would like to know more about how to setup the camera. I have not yet attached my printer to the network so unsure of all steps needed or software to view camera

@Dirt-E-Bikes 10 ай бұрын

You can start by connecting the printer to your Internet by pluging in the cable to your router. Start the printer and you find the IP in the menu (about machine(?)). Then you can simply open your browser and typ in that IP. Thats basically it to connect it to the Network. To ad a Webcam you have to plug in one to the printers USB and select it in Fluidd. Different webcams will require different setup. With the one that i use, i simply could add it in fluidd and it worked

@NaughtyGoatFarm 10 ай бұрын

@@Dirt-E-Bikesthanks for the reply. What is fluid? Sorry if that's a silly question.

@Dirt-E-Bikes 10 ай бұрын

All good, fluidd is the "interface" in wich the klipper softwear is displayed to you. As i remember correctly, you only have to type in the IP adress of your printer in your webbrowser when it is connected to your network, and fluidd will open (or maybe there is the softwear exe on the stick that comes with the printer, i cant remeber exactly, sorry) anyway, its also shown in the manual that comes with your n4, i also just followed that instruction and its really straight forward. Hope that helps you, have a nice day ✌

Yes its not the most stable, but i only need the camera for checking if the print is still running or if something is goiing wrong. And for that its enough. If you want to record videos with it or even making timelapses, i would recomment a better camera and an other mount with a different camera-angle. For my purpose its enough

All you have to do is to connect the wifi extender with your router (as normal) and open your browser to type in the ip adress of the printer (you can see your printers IP on the display of the printer). If you do that, you can run the printer from your network (works with every pc or phone connected to your wifi). So i hope that helps you, you can find cheap wifi extender on aliexpress or amazon, just take one with a ethernet out.

@Dirt-E-Bikes 4 ай бұрын

@@pubgwithleo5596 Hi Leo, what exactly is the problem with leveling your printer? In general, you have to first manualy level the bed (do this for so long until you are happy with the leveling), then you can do the automatic leveling (the mesh). If you use fluidd (your PC connected to you printer) you can also look at the mesh after automatic leveling, and can adjust it by the leveling gears again, if there is one side that is more out of level. But after you did this, you should also do the mesh again. In my nevest video are also clips to lock the leveling gears, if they come loose on your printer while printing. That can help too.

For the webcam integration i also dont know, i mean its Marlyn on your printer and klipper on the N4, so setting up the camera will not be the same. But the mount for the camera should fit as well.
