Any chance you could show us how to install klipper?

[@CaptainCohiba]

For the people watching this in the future: Exclude Object and Adaptive Meshing is now NATIVE implemented in Klipper. You just need to enable them in your printer config!

[@tomaszkarwik6357]

I think the most important upgrade of kilpper is changing the root password

[@thenextlayer]

Good point!

[@geauxracerx]

You should do that in the install part of RPi OS. Click the gear that will open a dialogue that will let you set a custom url for your local network. I use the name of the specific printer. It will also let you input wlan info, and set a user and password all will be baked into the RPi OS install.

What did you change it to?

Another Macro that goes by the way-side by most companies factory installed Klipper: M600 / color change. Once up and running you just have to add it in your slicer.

[@geauxracerx]

If you don’t install Klipper screen you can VNC into the RPi and use the copy sd card utility to manually back up your entire sd card/drive. Having a local copy is the best practice, as sd cards are prone to failure due to power cycles. Takes a few seconds to swap out a corrupted/dead sd card

[@jeffdavenport469]

Installing klipper screen on the SV-07 will brick the printer. Sovol uses a custom FW / fork of klipper for their MKS pi/ pad 5. I have the 07 and the 07 Plus.

[@geauxracerx]

@@jeffdavenport469 I feel Klipper screen is a huge mistake. It kills 98% of the Pi’s functionality. Like being able to make a 100% backup of your setup. I use an iPad with all my printers in its own tab in password/biometricaly locked Brave browser. There is zero need for a screen on the printer, ZERO. It just adds more headache to the process

[@joeking5211]

@@geauxracerx I would GREATLY appreciate how to do this. VNC being a remote control I can't get my head around how. I use naturally ssh and also winscp to access files on the pi, can you use that to do the backup ?. Is the back up a bare metal image backup such that the file you transfer to your PC is an exact image of the sdcard. As you can see, easy to say this can be done, but I don't see how ???, any chance of a tutorial or reference to a YT vid that actually 'does it' rather that say it can be done. Rgds.

[@geauxracerx]

@@joeking5211 to VNC in first you have to Sudo raspi-config ( can be done in SSH ) Down to 3 Interface options Down to I3 VNC enable Save reboot. VNC is now enabled and you can use VNC Viewer to have Remote Desktop access On the Desktop in the taskbar click the Raspberry/ down to Accessories/ SD Card copier. This makes a 100% copy of your main sd that you can just pop in should your main one stop working, as they are very prone to do. You can have that first one, or work in a routine where you periodically make a backup. This is how I do it as it keeps it as up to date as possible. I shoot for once every couple weeks. I just reformat the backup sd card and create the new backup. It’s really fast considering it’s making a complete copy.

[@djispro4272]

I have finally got Klipper to run properly, and I have already installed OctoEverywhere, so KAMP is on my list!

[@DeepfakeKittens]

This was very helpful! I just swapped my printer over to Klipper and felt a little in over my head on the basics. Appreciate the content

[@thenextlayer]

Awesome, I appreciate you

[@JoelCHopper]

for KlipperScreen, I use Debian on a old Microsoft Surface. It works really well and is big enougo to be seen from anywhere in the room.

[@AutoRevLife]

Did you connect the Surface tablet directly to the pi USB? Or did you need another plug in to make it work?

[@Iisakki3000]

Nice video! Unfortunately it's missing the latest klipperi hotness: spoolman, the new filament manager. Didn't manage to install it yet myself, so I was really hoping for it to be in this video.

[@thenextlayer]

Haven’t heard of it. Will check it out.

[@MallocArray]

​@@thenextlayerthis is content I would be interested in!

[@TheButchersbLock]

Great video mate, more Macro stuff please and thank you 😊 Oh and maybe Klipper trouble shooting

[@thenextlayer]

Good suggestions, thank you! Keep them coming

[@therick0996]

I installed klipper about 10 months ago with no screen, and recently added klipperscreen. Absolutely awesome

[@thenextlayer]

Yep!

[@dt08jh8]

Great video! You production quality is getting better for every video! I think it would have been worth mentioning that klipper and octoprint is not mutually exclusive (see octoklipper), one is after all a firmware and the other is a front end, I felt it was a bit unclear sometimes in the video what Klipper really is and what moonraker/mainsail/fluidd is...

[@thenextlayer]

That's a good point, but in my opinion putting Octoprint on Klipper instead of something cleaner and more stripped down like Fluidd or Mainsail kind of defeats the purpose a little bit... don't you think?

[@thenextlayer]

Oh and good point about the differences, I didn't explain that. Thanks for the feedback

[@dt08jh8]

I totally agree on that, just thought it might have been worth a mention in case one wanna go from octoprint with marlin and keep the familiar plugins. I would of course still recommend mainsail/fluidd with the plugins you mention in the video any day of the week @@thenextlayer

[@megsman4749]

I’m running an 8-bit card on my Ender 3 and ‘almost’ upgraded my card to use a clone bltouch. Good thing I didn’t as I have an old RP lying around.

[@lap87]

You should make a new video regarding KAMP meshing feature now being a part of klipper itself, only requiring the setup of [exclude_object] and adding one new setting to [bed_mesh] in printer.cfg

[@rongerber2970]

funny that the camera of the sovol fell down 0:40 xD

[@SerenityGuitars]

Not sure klipper is for me but thank you for the great info.

[@LuckyPrinter]

Super with an episode on Klipper🤩, do I dare to ask for more Marco stuff? YES please😀

[@thenextlayer]

I'm not a macro master (yet), but, good idea :)

[@iankoegelenberg4682]

Very cool video, thanks a lot. Any possibility of a video turning/ flashing a Sonic Pad into a full fledged klipper setup?

[@geauxracerx]

The sonic pad is a full fledged Klipper install. You just need to make/install the specific firmware and config file for your printer. Then connect the printer to sonic pad with appropriate usb cable

[@takseeto]

great vid

[@dekurvajo]

I am watching this even before i have a klipper installed. Thats how i know i am doomed

[@benferrara4121]

this man really just said your life is at work 🤣 But really, thanks for the video! just thought that line was funny

[@EsotericArctos]

I love Fluidd, but I have a slight preference for Mainsail. I use a Raspberry Pi Version 1 camera, and I found installing both Fluidd and Mainsail together caused it to stop working so I had to go one or the other, but Mainsail and KlipperScreen provide an amazing UI on the printer, with a very functional remote interface also

[@SchubertTech]

what streaming protocol did you choose? I followed the common instructions on the web cam installation and one said, "do not select experimental" for the streaming protocol. My web cam didn't work, and I have both Fluidd and Mainsail running. I thought, "What the heck, it's not working.. might as well play with it." Changed the protocol to "experimental" and boom, there's my webcam video.

[@lucio_costa]

Very well-done video. Can you share your macros? I want to add them to my K1Max. Cheers.

[@thekidd2323]

Just use a old phone or tablet. Cheaper and probably have a drawer full of old phones. Much better too than the klipper screen as you get the full web interface, plus connect all your printers to that interface so you only have on screen rather than 5-10-20 depending on your set up. Touch screens are great for single set up or even two printers but when you get into small game status, it’s a lot nicer to have a single HMI rather than one for each machine. If you’re from the manufacturing world have a HMI for each makes sense but not in 3D printing.

[@TAJPEJ84]

Thanks for the video!👍

[@thenextlayer]

No problem 👍

[@technicallyreal]

When I made the switch to Klipper I thought I would miss Octoprint plugins.. but it turned out that everything I used to need a plugin for was already built into Klipper and/or Mainsail (and done even simpler and/or better).

[@thenextlayer]

Bingo

[@chris3dp]

Very cool video, thanks a lot.

[@makkeleonslachthuis2853]

great video and good sound Thanks👍

[@thenextlayer]

[@Enjoymentboy]

I like the idea of macros but sadly setting them up just doesn't work with the way my brain does. One that I'd love would be to restore a failed print. I'd love to just select a file and tell it to start at a specific layer or height without having to go in and edit the gcode and hope for the best. If i can see on the display that a print failed at 16.4mm I'd love to just restart the print and tell to start at 16.4mm. Absolutely no idea how to even start something like that though ... I'm like steve jobs that way. I just come up with the great ideas and wait for someone else to figure out how to do it 😉

After “upgrading” to Klipper, I can’t get my printer to print, so I might be downgrading. I should’ve just stuck with astroprint.

Was there a specific GitHub that you got your macros from or did you learn to write your own?

for me to add spoolman to my SV08. I have to install it on a Pi? then connect pi to printer? what other filament inventory apps do you recommend? im not willing to buy a PI for this. im out of power outlets in my printer room.

I think it can run on the internal pi

I listened to the cool kids and switched from Duet with RepRapFirmware to Klipper... don't recommend it at all, felt like a downgrade... Will be switching back after I get a CAN 36 toolhead that supports RRF. RepRapFirmware + Clearer documentation + Easier upgrade and setup + Everything is a g-code, and no restarting of firmware for every little change - Less cool kids - Pricier if you go Duet brand

Has anyone upgraded a sovol sv06 with a raspberry pi4? I'm currently running octoprint on a raspberry pi 4 and i want to switch to klipper. I heard that i must update my firmware on the sovol as well on the raspberry pi. In my understanding i must update to a new firmware on the sovol Install mainsail OS on the raspberry pi Will my sovol sv06 screen work after that? Should i add a new screen? Should i instead buy the new klipper screen for the sovol sv06 and ditch the raspberry entierly? Thank you very much!
