In todays video we take a look at the Exclude Object feature that was added to Klipper. This allows you to cancel a failing part from the bed while still allowing the rest of the parts to complete. We will go over how to set it up, how to use it, and run a print to see it in action.

Hi, i add the command as you show in the video but i dont have the option to cancel an object during the print. i try with cura 5.4 and prusa 2.6 but stil it cannot work

[@ScottLahteine]

This is one of the cooler features available in the various firmwares. The fellow who first brought it to us for Marlin Firmware is a chemistry professor who also makes excellent turned wooden bowls. I used his concept as the starting point for CANCEL_OBJECTS and created the G-code M486 (get it?) to provide a formal support mechanism. The slicer has to actually provide the object identifiers in the G-code to use this technique. Perhaps Klipper is able to do this without help from the slicer, or using other slicer annotations that only appear in the G-code file as comments.

[@damustermann]

How about doing the same with Fluidd? Klipper setup is of course the same, but so it is a more complete guide for this feature. Would be awesome as a reference, no fuss, just a perfect guide, thanks for what you did already, and thanks if you do the Fluidd part, too.

[@Bearvin]

see that youre using the new Biqu Hurakan, a review coming soon?

[@247printing]

Thanks for making me aware of that feature again and for showing greatly how it works!

[@FilmFactry]

Question, I use an Ender 3/ Cura. I use the Ultra Fast CHEP profile as my default (0.20 and 0.28). But it is not dimensionally accurate. Recently I needed to print mechanical parts for a Clay Extruder. What I found openings for fit parts were too tight. (Threads and mounting holes). I understand Cura has "Engineering Intent" profiles for their machines that are more suited to precision over speed. Do you know of, or can you recommend a profile that is "Most" accurate for these type prints? I have tried Horizontal Hole setting, but it works for the larger holes but way oversizes say M3 screw holes. So that isn't a solution. Thanks. And I will be updating my Ender 3 to Klipper:-)

[@MallocArray]

I just don't use the Extra Fast profiles when the dimensions matter, because I've seen the same thing and really confused me why my fast vice didn't fit together like CHEP's did. I went back to the default profiles and everything printed perfectly, just slower.

[@hjcpkr]

Look into slicing tolerance in cura

[@FilmFactry]

@@hjcpkr Thank you, I'm test printing with EXCLUSION setting. Lets see if that fits!

[@hjcpkr]

@@FilmFactry worth it looking into what each of the options do, as one will make it impossible to thread and the other will be perfect - and when grabbing stl’s that other people made, be aware they might have designed it on iterations on the standard “middle” tolerance when test printing!

[@FilmFactry]

@@hjcpkr Kind of sucks. I have all the parts for the clay extruder, but many parts wont fit. I'm not a newbee. I have 3 Ender 3s (2 with Duet) that print beautifully. The issue is really the profiles. If I had the Fusion files I could adjust the holes, but I don't I did some editing in Tinkercad, but it is so lack of percision. I may have to redesign the parts in Fusion. Horizontal expansion and hole expansion, works for some larger holes but ruins 3mm holes needed to be screwed together. In Cura I tried the support blocker technique to assign various horizontal expansion to sections but that is a cludge.

[@shawnrathbone]

Thanks, had no clue that this was available

[@JoshMurrah]

I wasn't aware this made it to the main fork! Nice! I've heard that Cura doesn't handle well with supports, since it does supports as its' own object at the beginning of each layer.

[@Drn10n]

that was the last thing that prevented me from switching from octoprint. now i can finally go mainsail which seems much sleeker and streamlined

[@MallocArray]

You are really going to convince me to switch to Klipper...

[@DanielZhelev]

Hi, im having a hard time with the exclude object function on klipper. As mentioned in 6:05 the print head travels to the excluded object. That causes fillament to drip on larger nozzle like 1mm. Also if excluding the first object the fillament is being retratcted enough to push it past the gears. Is there a way to disable the travel as it seems counter productive at its current state. Im using Orca slicer 2.0.0, printing PETG with 1mm nozzle.

[@vicstrauss]

I've been using 2 instances of mainsail in 1 Rpi 3b+ for a couple of days. Today i wanted to add a 3rd instance so removed the previous 2 instances and installed 3 fresh ones, klipper + mainsail + klipperscreen. The 1st two picked up the configuration from before, i hadn't cleaned the configs. Everything is working on the 3rd except for Exclude Object, please help! I added the lined to printer.cfg and moonraker.conf but exclude objects is not working. Did i miss a step? I'm getting "unkown command M486" all the time, and i'm using the same gcode on all 3 printers. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

[@babyboie20]

Thanks just set this up for my flsun v400

[@ulforcemegamon3094]

How is working so far ?

[@JustCreateYou]

What about Fluidd ?? Instead of mainsail

[@ModBotArmy]

Same process 😊

[@khmer04sti]

So to do this in PrusaSlicer, you have to install the preprocess_cancellation script. The Moonraker documentation for file_manager points to the github that enables it. Checking the label objects box doesn't enable it fully.

[@mtschutte18]

It says to download the provided binary under installation on github, where do I find the binary and where do I install it for PrusaSlicer? I have added the script line in the Post-processing scripts section.

[@als4817]

Thank you for posting.

[@bassam.2023]

Has anyone tried this in Fluidd? Didn't work for me. According to the docs, the slicer needs to process the gcode before it's ready to work with the exclude-module. But maybe Mailsail does this post-processing for you?

[@oldtimeengineer26]

I have been using that feature for over 1 month or more on my Creality K1 units I love it.

[@joelstitch]

I can't get this working on any of my printers. I have 3 Ender 3s, all have the most recent Klipper and Moonraker and all files were sliced in Cura. I restarted all printers after the setup but it never shows any option to cancel objects.

[@Gavin3DPrinting]

Hi Im using Prusa slicer 2.7.0 and theres no output settings tab can you help please? If i can get this to work it will save me so much time. Thanks

[@Pugwash.]

Now wishing they enabled this by default, as I'm halfway through a partially failed print and just found out how to do it.

[@Hunihunor90]

Followed every step several times over, just don't work. Where can I find a more detailed troubleshooting guide for this?

[@احمدالعتابي-ت6د]

Hi dear I have a question. when i print something on my 3d print and i cancel it the (Head) nozzle stop on the same position....how can return it to auto home when i click cancel I have biqu hurakan

[@SplitPhotography]

That "printing window" with the thumbnail, is that the "Mainsail Thumbnail mod" ?

[@DarrenGerbrandt]

I kind of knew about it and had thought about checking into it more "at some point" but did not know it was so easy to enable until your video. I don't do a lot of batch parts but I do occasionally and having this enabled will be a great help. Thanks.

[@marckart66]

I never knew! I usually print a single test part before going multiple parts in a single print. I had a problem recently on my cr10v2 where the autobed leveling was pretty crap at one corner and a print started warping 20 minutes in. If I knew this was a feature, I wouldn't have to cancel 10 parts because of 1 bad corner on one of the parts.

[@ulforcemegamon3094]

I Will use this feature once i buy the FL Sun v400 and install vanilla Klipper on it !

[@owenaero]

i wonder if this will work with the sonic pad

[@Impuritan1]

Don't know if you ever tried it, but it does work in case you didn't know.

[@timstratton9]

Has this been confirmed to work with the Creality Sonic Pad?

[@1234fishnet]

ModBot is the most underrated KZbin channel I'm following. You deserve more subscribers and viewers

[@alexanderjansson7382]

I did exactly what you showed in this video and i dont have the exluce object button in the UI. what now?

[@Wendym0906]

hi, i am using prusa slicer and its not showing the items separately. any ideas i added the lines of code and enabled label in prusaslicer

[@woodwaker1]

I had heard about this, but at the time was too busy to pursue. I also rarely print a large number of parts that would benefit from this. Your explanation made it so easy to understand and set up, that I will be adding it to my printers and Prusa Slicer will be changed immediately. Thanks for the concise video

[@ArtisanDepot]

How do you get the update manager to show up in your mainsail? I don't have that option.

[@42DeltaV]

Just found out about this. THANKS!!

[@GeekDetour]

I am loving your videos about Klipper - I just started my Klipper journey and your content is awesome 👏

finally got klipper so im gonna try to set this up

[@g.s.3389]

more videos on klipper (macro...).. :)

[@rickybobbyracing9106]

No idea why, i did all the steps, but this option will just not show up.

[@DaveDarin]

I very recently built my Voron 0.1 BUT I did hear about this. Now the build plate is small on the 0.1 so I probably won't be using it much, if at all but I did install and test it and it works great. I do intend to build a 2.4 so this will be much more useful on that machine, Cheers and thanks.

[@TAJPEJ84]

Thanks for the video!👍

[@Duraltia]

The loss of Exclude Objects from Octoprint when I _had_ to convert over to Klipper due to my Voron V2.4's ERCF not playing nice together with Octoprint was almost a deal breaker for me. I mean yea I don't really print many parts that often and I usually also don't have many issues with warping and parts coming loose but Murphy's Law is it that it _always_ happens when I have least use for it and not being able to save an almost finished multi hour and multi part print where one has failed stings - *_A LOT_* 😑

[@ChadLower]

Great video! Thanks for showing how to do this. I got it working but the preview for the current object is showing a blank black box with no objects. Any idea why?

[@kevinbaxter1571]

hey bud you got a awesome channel here. I recently built a Voron2.4. Had zero issues with the build. Lotsa people are build friendly but not software friendly. Seems like you want views so why not keep helping others that are not software savvy. Gonna def try this on SS with mainsail. Never printed anything b4 this build. Don't have anyone to help either. Be very helpful to me and others if your channel could include this content. Although I have SS I have yet to find a SS for dummies vid. LOL. Still looking how to configure it to what i need AND my settings and have a saved profile. YOU are much more smarter then me maybe give some klipper configs to look at? Wasted lotsa Hrs on trying to figure out simple things with zero references. That said THANK YOU AGAIN

[@alejandroperez5368]

I wanna mess with Klipper but I don't want to spend like 80 euros in Raspberry Pi alternatives......

[@kiksu1]

It can be done with a linux pc too. I put Klipper with Mainsail to my old laptop. ModBot and Chris Riley has a good videos for that.

[@alejandroperez5368]

@@kiksu1 I ended up trying it out on a Debian virtual machine. Already ordered an Orange Pi zero 2 for €36 lol

[@ronallison4190]

Very Nice this will save so many projects!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@brokencreationlordmegatrol3037]

Okay this is making me think about getting one of these printers. For about £340gbp this is basically the ultimate ender clone

[@rondlh20]

That's a cool feature!

[@dild0sled]

I only learned about it when one object's support failed entirely in a 28 hr print, 19 hours in lol.

[@mariusj8542]

This is the same as “adaptive bed mesh/ kamp”. Just saw it by accident. It’s just building a mesh for your part instead of the whole bed. I feel these features are partly linked btw.

[@federicobarrezueta9988]

great info, tried from other sources and was not able to make it work.Never thought it was so simple..great vid thanks!

[@FMachado84]

Thank you! Great info and got my exclude objects up and running quick and easy!

[@Daves3DProjects]

Awesome, I really missed that plug-in when switching to klipper.

[@AndroidA258]

the icon doesnt appear

[@maik8380]

Awesome, a few days ago, i thought about this kind of feature would be nice. Now i saw you video and will try that. Thank you :D

[@seanday6127]

Heard of it but never spent time trying to figure out how to use it. Had no idea it was that easy. Will be added that now for sure! There is also a "pretty gcod" thing that might be nice as well.. it might be a "fork" though. Saw it, haven't spent time diving into it.

[@wl7291]

Had to come back to this as 1 object of a 4 object print failed and I wasn't sure how to use the macro. Thank you sir.

[@jeez22]

Thank you this helped. Mostly the part about enabling labeling in slicer. That was the key.

[@heselmas]

Printing 1 thing at the time on my 40cm x 40cm bed to avoid a big failure. 😀 Thx for the tip!

[@MrElbowgrease]

wow awesome feature, never knew this existed. Glad to have it up and running. Thanks for the pro tips!

[@eraldylli]

This works for me only when slicing with SuperSlicer, not PrusaSlicer or Cura. Am I the only one? Anyone else has this problem?

[@eraldylli]

Having finished the video, looks like it might be because of the Label Objects setting.

[@khmer04sti]

@@eraldylli I had this problem for prusaslicer as well. Check the Moonraker documentation for file_manager and you'll be on your way. YT comment filtering is in place or I'd provide the links. 👍

@@khmer04sti Will do. Thanks.

[@martshal]

You're right, I didn't even know it existed. I used to use the exclusion plugin for OctoPrint to good effect so I'm definitely going to set that up.

This was a killer feature in Octoprint and one of the biggest reasons I couldnt make the switch to mainsail since I do quite a bit of batch printing and hate the thought of wasting material just because one part failed out of many.
