[@MrDbodenheimer]

After watching your videos, i decided to upgrade my Longer LK5 Pro printer. This is my first venture into Klipper and it's quite a learning curve. I have a couple questions, all relating to Klipper, and it's implementation in a Biqu Manta M8P board, with a CB1 EEMC. I'm running TMC2209 stepper drivers, I purchased both a TFT70 and a Bigtree HDMI 70. I also took the plunge and purchased a Biqu H2 500C to be able to print flexibles and other materials. I've got the mainboard talking to the printer and thanks to your video i have the blTouch working with mesh bed leveling. Here are my questions, 1. my extruder Thermistor reads either -250C or + 250 C and doesn't track the heater. ( the heater works) I've tried sever config settings to no avail. I've reached out to biqu, but no answer yet. All the documentation is for Marlin, so it doesn't help me with Klipper. 2. I haven't been able to get either screen to work. THe TFT screen displays a menu but says can't connect to printer. The HDMI 70 turns on, but nothing displays I'm kind of at a standstill and I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks in advance, and please keep those Klipper videos coming!!! Dave

This video helped me soooooooo much. Thank you for the easy to follow steps.

[@p_serdiuk]

Could you make a more detailed video on exactly how much did the linear rails upgrade on a Klipperized bedslinger contributed to the increase of speed and acceleration compared to running Klipper on a stock printer with POM wheels? I couldn't find a definitive conclusion anywhere on whether it is worth upgrading to linear rails at all if input shaping is already working. Especially Hiwin rails.

[@AuroraTech]

As long as it's still a bed slinger, I can't see how linear rails would contribute much to the speed. They simply run a little smoother and won't wear down like POM wheels. In my opinion, it may not worth getting Hiwin rails on a printer like that.

[@Andre_M_3D]

So I have tried a few times now to install several instances and it does not work. As soon as I remove all the options in Kiauh and install them back when I try to reboot the pad it will no longer reboot in klipper screen. I even tried to not remove klipper screen and just remove and install 2 instances of klipper and moonraker. Either way I can't. And then I am forced to install the CB1 OS all over again and it is a long process. Is anyone else having these issues? I have seen some complaints online about things after the last few updates. I am running out of ideas and have had to reinstall everything close to 10 times now. How are we supposed to get more than 1 instance? I have followed this video and a few others to the letter and keep getting the same results each time. The pad won't boot up . I also ran into this on a raspberry pi as well. I can install one instance no problem but as soon as I remove everything and installing it back on the bad won't reboot again into klipper screen. And I am also not able to SSH back in .

[@DennisMurphey]

I came back after a chat with Tiny Machines because they recommended the Pad 7 for my 10S Pro as a update for reliability and speed enhancements. I so wadded through your video. I am amazed at the depth of your broad knowledge. Tiny Machine will provide on line setup support which would be required. this level of integration is beyond my patience. I need to design and print. So i ask you, would the Pad 7 for my one 10S Pro Printer provide the extra capability and set the machine up for Linear rails and faster Hot End. Thanks for all you guys for the cause. Dennis

take a doubt. I have a btt-pi v1.2, which is the CB1, when I put klipper on the sovol sv-06, via kiauh and install more than one instance, the sv06 doesn't work. it only connects if it has 1 instance and no name. so, by default, the printer is printer_data. Can you do this test on pad7 and sv06, with more than 1 instance and naming each one of them?

Hello Aurora Tech, I have after some help and re-watching your and others help videos at last got the Pad 7 to log into my browser and now see the Klipper system on it. Now the real fun begins, I have a Elegoo Neptune 3 Max I wish to control using the Pad 7 system through the Browser, where do I get the Files needed to do so? I need two it seems? so the klipper runs on the printer it's self and the other file to control that by the browser or the pad 7 directly. I have a Elegoo Neptune 3 that I also will be adding to the system as I have it working! So how and where do I get the files needed? Thank you for your help.

I have also read that enabling Jerk control and acceleration control from Cura will cancel out the klipper/pad7 controls of these. Is that true? I heard that was the case with Sonic Pad as well.

[@AuroraTech]

Yes, it does, that's how you set acceleration for faster/slower print speed, but it will still be limited by the max acceleration inside the printer.cfg file.

[@sweenbeen]

@@AuroraTech I am confused, I was asking if the cura settings cancel out the pad's ability to handle the acceleration and jerk with the adxl and input shaper... please clarify as I have operated on the pretense that if you are using Klipper - those settings should not be checked in Cura

Love you're videos. Great job. Ca you confirm if the pad 7 will work with the anycubic kobra? Based on what I have seen it won't work due to the motherboard no being compatible to run klipper. I am so frustrated with anycubic. I bought everything needed to run klipper like a pi 3b , touch screen , power supply etc and found out to get it working I have to do some soldering and move resistors. All other printer companies don't have this issue with their boards. Can you confirm? Thanks

[@chrisstone8189]

They have Kobra Go and Plus printer configs for Klipper, not sure if they use a different boards. But if you can’t use Klipper on your machine, then you won’t be able to use the Pad 7. Unless you change the board.

[@AuroraTech]

The HC32F460 chip is now supported by Klipper 1-2 months ago, as Kobra series are using the same chip (my latest Kobra 2 is using HC32F460 as well), so I don't think it's a problem to run Klipper on them.
