That is supposed to happen if you change the IP adress of your wifi box. You have to go to your new IP address that you gave, in order to access Luci interface again.

I'm running into an issue though - After I install Klipper through the script, I rebooted but then completely lost connection with the board - it doesn't want to even connect to the WiFi I set-up for it. Dunno what I'm doing wrong, but it's fairly frustrating to be that close. Any pointers?

Hey mate! Unfortunately the owner of the project hasn't updated the project in months. As the dependencies have been updated, the compilation of the software is leading to various errors. Sadly, it's safe to say that the project is deprecated and no longer maintained.

I am having extreme trouble getting the correct settings for the firmware for the main board. (CRC-2405v1.2) I have tried multiple other web resources in my quest to get this working but the wifi box is unable to communicate with the mainboard with the firmwares I have built. If anyone has this working on the same mainboard as I have in my machine, can you let me know the settings you used in the Klipper Firmware Configuration Shell Script?

How is the performance comparisons: 1. Installing Raspbian directly on this and then Octoprint or Klipper? 2. Installing OctoWRT and then only using it as a WIFI interface to communicate with Pi on a Docker? I'm assuming you can run all of your plugins at that point. as I see some people have issues running plugins directly on the Cloud device. I recently had a hardware issue on my Pi and they're impossible to come by without price-gouging.

No. You don't need to flash klipper firmware on your printer main board if you are wishing to use octoprint. Octoprint works with marlin firmware.

[@ariafpv]

@@HyperMakes ok thanks. If I don't use the webcam feature, do you think the box will function reliably or will it max out the cpu and mess up prints as it's less powerful than a Raspi

[@HyperMakes]

@@ariafpv Without a webcam, the CPU usage is around 30-50%. So, there is nothing to worry about. Most of the reasons of failed prints are loose connections, under voltage, emf interference and un-grounded usb cables, both in the case of creality wifi box and raspberry pi.

your guide does not work. Where is the part how to make the firmware that needs to go on the printer mainboard? The instructions are so secret squirel for me i cant find any details nor is anyone helpful on discord

[@HyperMakes]

Sorry to see you in hassle but the instructions are very clear. Normally me or Jonah reply to the queries but as of now we both are busy in our higher studies.

[@matesdemedia8910]

how can i go back to creality firmware?

[@HyperMakes]

There is a section at the end of the github page that shows how you can revert to original creality firmware. Or if you need more assistance, join the discord server.

Is there a way to connect the sensor for frequency test? otherwise you won’t be able to speed up your printer

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, there is a documentation for that in the github repository but it hasn't been tested yet. Here is the link: github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt/issues/17

Hi Thanks for making this video Can You explain camera setup for octowrt but for absolute Noobs like me Where to find and edit mjpg-streamer file

To be honest, I don't have that much experience regarding octoprint(octowrt). But i am sure, there are people in the discord server who can help you with this. Please join the discord server, link given in the description and post your issue in the support channel.

is it still possible to install klipper on the Creality Box?

[@HyperMakes]

Unfortunately, no. The project is no longer maintained by the author.

[@gallofilho1]

neither this klipperwrt?@@HyperMakes

[@blacklord81]

First thanks for the tutorial. I have a problem tho... you skipped over the MCU-serial configuration like it was already on the config files, but i foundout that they don't work out of the box... pun intended. Can anyone explain how to get the mcu serial for the config file, as it comes, it doesn't connect to the printer. Thanks

[@HyperMakes]

Hello. Sorry to say but, this project is no longer supported by the author. So, there are no updates for this project.

[@theoldpcguy]

Well done but it's a LOT of work for a 580Mhz. CPU with 128 MB RAM. Even an old Pi Zero W will run much faster. I could see doing this if you had one laying around but buying a new one doesn't make sense. I picked up a Pi Zero 2 W for about $22 shipped for my Octoprint install. Yeah they're tough to find it takes a bit of patience scanning all of the sellers.

[@HyperMakes]

Absolutely agree with you. Any model of Raspberry Pi is better than the Creality wifi box. We made Klipperwrt so that people can make use of the existing wifi boxes. Buying a new one only for KlipperWRT is not recommended. Also agree with the fact that, it is a pain to find any Rpi boards at reasonable prices these days. Thank you "Global chip shortage"🙂

[@thordomr]

I'm interested on how well it does work considering the prices of raspberry pi's now. I can pick up one of these for 25 bucks now where as the oldest Raspberry Pi 0 sells for $70 used

[@HyperMakes]

@@thordomr Honestly speaking, not even close to the any oldest model of Rpi. This project was developed to make use of the creality wifi box. The box works for traditional speeds and use.

[@lorenzo2701]

i bought an used creality box on a wimp for 10 euros, just to discover that the software support and function were...let's say: ''not on par with a raspberry+octoprint''. Now with this maybe i can even use the creality box with octoprint on any printer with any board not just Creality ones, am i right? i'll try this as soon as possible and thank you, guys like you make the 3d printing community so awesome!

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, you are right. You can use KlipperWRT and OctoWRT with any printer, with any main board as long as the official klipper github repo has the sample printer.cfg file listed by the community.

[@lorenzo2701]

@@HyperMakes awesome, how about performance? on a raspberry pi scale where du you position this creality box? rasp pi zero lowest----> raspberry pi 4 highest

@@lorenzo2701 I am sorry to say but, creality wifi box < Any raspberry pi board. This project was made to make the creality wifi box usable and to help people who were stuck not being able to use them.

Hi, really nice video. I been reading that people is already using it. I saw your video because I was looking info about Creality box, I ordered one yesterday for 9 euros, I wanted to try. But after reading look like is impossible to use like is? What is the problem? I thought that maybe could be useful, I know that maybe no like octoprint. Well anyway, thanks for yours video I keep follow you and probably I will try it if I can't do anything with the box.

It would be more feasible to help you out in the discord server. Link is in the description. Or here is the direct link: discord.gg/bJqxfSbnd8

[@roberthood6640]

I have found your directions to be very easy to follow and detailed. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. However, I have one issue that I cannot seem to resolve. No matter what I have tried, I am unable to get the firmware to recognize the SD card I have formatted. I have tried multiple sizes and manufactures with no success. Also, when I tried to install software, the firmware states that the files cant be opened because the file system is read-only. Please let me know if this is something that can be resolved? Thank you.

[@HyperMakes]

I have a little bit less knowledge regarding this issue. Can you join the discord server? There i may help you with help of the creator of this open source project.

[@matthewwain9958]

With raspberry pi's being so expensive, has anyone got that OS running on one of these yet?

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, many people of our discord server already have.

[@Alberto-uu8ix]

Hi thanks a lot for your fantastic job. I installed klipper by mistake because my intention was to have octoprint. Do I have to repeat the entire process or how can I uninstall klipper and install octoprint?

[@HyperMakes]

You can uninstall klipper, but that may arise new problems for you. I suggest to to reset the wifi box by holding the reset button for 6-10 seconds. Then repeat the process for octoprint installation. You can't get away with both firmware in the box because, the wifi box uses a relatively less powerful CPU.

[@Alberto-uu8ix]

@@HyperMakes Thanks a lot, is it correct if I start with script 1 that format the microsd and than I follow your process for octoprint? Furthermore I noticed some differences (I mean before the SWAP chapter) in the preparation phase of octoprint installation between the video and the github page... Di I have to follow the site procedure?

[@HyperMakes]

@@Alberto-uu8ix Do the script 1, then follow from Octoprint installation chapter in the video. That's it. No need to follow the last chapter, as Octoprint works with Marlin firmware.

[@Alberto-uu8ix]

@@HyperMakes Finally I did it, and now octoprint works! Just one question: how can I reach the folder created in octoprint? I mean how can I save files in octoprint subdirectories?

@@Alberto-uu8ix I have very less or no experience with octoprint. You can try searching online regarding that.
