I first installed Klipper with your previous tutorial, then I stopped printing for a while and yesterday I decided to update everything in Klipper and realized the problem with the mcu. Of course I came to your channel to install Klipper again and found this video... As always, the best tutorial online. Thank you for your content Victor!!
Hi Juan, Thank you for commenting and encouragement. I'm glad you got it working again. It's pretty annoying when things go South after an update. Best of luck with your prints :)
Thank you so so much for doing this tutorial! I've been wishing for someone who knows what they are doing to do a video walk through of this method of klipper migration for a long time!
Hi friend, Thank you for commenting and feedback. I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time. We did some more testing with the new aluminum housing and it dropped the y-stepper motor temps on a an Ender 3 V2 that had the VREFs adjusted from 134c to down to just 100c during a 4 hour print, that's a 34% reduction. Best of luck with your mods :)
Victor, thanks for the video, could you post a link to where you got the info on minimizing the z offset improving accuracy mentioned around 32:00, just curious and want to read up on how it works.
Hello friend, Thank you for commenting. As far as I know I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. I stumbled across this when sorting out a print problem with one of two almost identical printer setups, the only difference was the Z-offset. One was -2.86 the other was -1.34 so to fix the issue I had to manually edit the mesh on the machine which the -2.86 Z-offset at the points where the filament wasn't being deposited at the proper height. It was like creating a bed mesh just screwed up my prints. Anyways, this drove me crazy for a year or so until I started to get into editing Marlin and came across a setting that designated the minimum Z-offset at -2.00. Klipper has the same feature although it's easy alter to a greater - Z-offset than recompiling a Marlin firmware. The best solution is to minimize the Z-offset variable by having it be tiny so I set all mine, using the adjustable probe mount we created, between -0.25 to -0.50. One thing that is very important is that your hotend is warmed up to a high enough temperature for the filament to be soft but not running prior to homing so any filament that is on the nozzle can mush during homing. I set this up in my start g-code prior to G28 so it's automatic whenever I start a print.
@@vbared interesting, I'm working with a z offset of 2.3, I haven't printed anything large enough yet to cause an issue from the mesh but am going to keep an eye out for this. Fantastic Klipper install guide, thank you again
Love the video man was having problems aswell with the Z axis and I also forgot the “!” I was just so eager to get started printing. Loved the tutorial keep it up!

THANKS,Victor this video my day Thankyou again and again. I have two identical setups my question can I just clone the last sd card and use it in the other machine? thanks for your time,
Hello friend, Yes, the card can be cloned but only before inserting and booting into the first Raspberry Pi. Once the Raspberry Pi is switched on the first time with a Linux image on it, the files are expanded and the two become married to each other so cloning the SD card after this marriage has occurred will generate errors if used on another Raspberry Pi. Best of luck with your mods :)

I have an Ender 3 V3 se and I had installed Klipper about two weeks ago, without any problem. Then I saw an advice to install Katapult for easier updates. I did so, but I could not see that it was really installed. So iI tried KIAUH where I also installed some updates, Klipper too. After this all I cannot access my printer anymore. I tried reflashing x times, without success. Also the Ender firmware, but nothing changes. I don´t know what might be the reason, even don´t know if the SD-slot is ok. Should I try resetting the board which has no reset button, by a ST-Link adapter perhaps?
Hi Frank, Thank you for commenting. Does the error have something to do with MCU version difference? Another thing also is that for a new board flash to take it must have a different file name than the last successful .bin file flashed. In the case of Klipper when it was working the files name was probably klipper.bin so if you wanted to reflash a new klipper.bin you would need to alter the name to something like klipper1.bin. If the flash was successful and you needed to flash it again then you can once again use klipper.bin since the last successful flash was klipper1.bin
Great Video as usual. Have you tried printing PETG with TPU? I'm having trouble using the pause and filament change on my ender 3 pro. Running klipper.

Hello, Thank you for commenting. I'll have to update my printer that is running a BTT Manta M5P+CB1 to see if it completes without issues and report back.
@@vbared (1) Were you able to to complete the Klipper update install successfully on the M5P+CB1? (2) Which Raspberry Pi device should be chosen for the M5P+CB1 configuration? Thanks
@@makergc3d Hello, Thank you for commenting. Don't choose any device in the Imager tool just select the image file, storage device and write the image to the card, nothing else needs to be done. BTT CB1 image V2.3.2 is the only one that I've been able to get the TFT35 and ADXL345 working on. V2.3.3 won't even boot for me and V2.3.4 can't communicate with the ADXL345. So my advice for now until a fix is available is stick with image V2.3.2 and don't update Klipper from within MainsailOS because it will mess up the ADXL345 communications. Klipper does a great job with their software updates and I guess work well with the Raspberry Pi folks but the BTT people either don't collaborate with the Klipper people enough or are terrible at maintaining their documentation.
Hi, Thank you for commenting. Yes, you need two. One of them will live in the Raspberry Pi so I would recommend using the fastest SD card you can find within your budget. It doesn't need to be more than 32gb in size, just fast.
hi victor, i have an error. error code: mcu 'mcu': Unable to connect Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the config, and restart the host software. Error configuring printer im using a ender 3 pro so also a different printer.cfg, could that be the cause?
Hi Marinus, Did it ever work or have you always seen this message? Many connection issues can be resolved by trying a different USB to USB micro cable, many of them are charge only cables and don't have the two data wires needed for communication between the Raspberry Pi and Printer. If you are using a data cable try a different one anyway, I've had new cables out of the box not work.
Thanks for the updated process on Klipperizing an Ender 3 V2. I guess I won't be updating my OG Ender3 with a v4.2.2 board and klipper. I haven't had any problems when I klipperized my OGE3 about a year ago and I've been running it without updates. LOL Also did you get a chance to try out the cheap metal heatbreak I told you about before? Also since you did the dual belted Z from KevinAKASam, will you do a klackender as well? Cheers and keep up the good work.
Anytime, friend, yeah, don't update it unless there is some special feature that your current version doesn't have. My buddy, Doug, said the most recent update severed the MCU link between the board and pi. Despite my efforts to find a workaround without having to do a complete reinstall, I was unable to find the solution. If you come across one, please share it with me. All my machines thankfully are currently reliable so I haven't had the need to mess with leaky hotends. I recently installed a CHC Pro Volcano that comes with a 115-watt ceramic heater and 300c thermistor on one of my Ender 3 V2s so I can try and increase print speeds. I'll make a video of it soon.
@@vbared I'll give you a heads up IF that's a big IF I need an update. So far Orca slicer is the only one I update. Sometimes you really need a new hotend for your application. Thankfully ABS and PETG are my only filament that I needed the new heatbreak for! Cheers!
Hi on the PDF on page 12 it mentioned "precompiled Ender-3-V2-Klipper.bin" I don't see this under the description. Is this available to download? I have the same Ender 3 V2 4.2.2 printer.
Hi Jorge, Thank you for commenting. Yeah, I need to remove that from the guide because in order for things to work the compile steps still needs to be done by your Raspberry Pi. In addition to this, I found out that there are two different control chips that Creality is using in the 4.2.2 boards. Each one might require different compile settings so using one may not work in the other, all of mine have the STM32F103RET6 chip. I'll link my bin if you still want it , just let me know, but recommend that you follow the compile steps in the guide that creates the support environment and bin file in your Raspberry Pi for it to work.
@@vbared I followed the guide but since I'm using an Orange Pi I had to do install mainsail a different way. My ender 3 is basically stock and it has a 4.2.2 STM32F103 board. I tried flashing the bin I created but mainsail doesn't read my printer even after checking I had a good USB cable. So I'm trying to check if it was the bin file I messed up. Thank you.
I got an error once I added my printer.cfg file. Option 'serial' in section 'mcu' must be specified Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted Anyone know what this is?
Hi Kevin, On page 12 of the PDF near the bottom there is an LS command. Copy that complete command, paste it into an open PuTTy session and press enter. It should respond with a series of numbers and letters. That response is what you need to place in the printer.cfg file in the MCU section. If the output says something like file not found or dir not found then try a different USB to micro cable.
Hi mate, I got this config uploaded and everything looks like it should work but no dice :( I've the 4.2.7 board, it all works fine in the Pro marlin firmware just not on Mailsail / Klipper I keep getting the following error "No trigger on x after full movement"

Hi Do we have support for a 5 axis 3d printer on klipper ?
Hello, Are you running dual lead screws?
@@vbared I am trying but i realized there is no support for klipper just marlin . I mean could be a huge contribution if someone does the kinematics for klipper . A task that requires time
I'm running dual independent Z-lead screws on one of my Klipper machines.
Add: Z_TILT_ADJUST after your G28 ; Home all axes in you start g-code.

you referred to a pdf that you used on this video. You stated that it could be downloaded. As a result of never having downloaded anything from a creators you tube channel I have no idea how to do that and I don't see such a pdf on the site if possible could you please help me understand how to do this. Thanks
Hello friend, thank you for commenting. Any downloadable content is in the video description. There are a few more links associated with this video but the PDF link is below.

would his work on a BTT Pi board? I know they have their own CB1 klipper image from 6 months ago!
Hello, Thank you for commenting. I'll have to update my printer that is running a BTT Manta M5P+CB1 to see if it completes without issues and report back.
@@vbared (1) Were you able to to complete the Klipper update install successfully on the M5P+CB1? (2) Which Raspberry Pi device should be chosen for the M5P+CB1 configuration? Thanks
@@makergc3d Hello, Thank you for commenting.
Don't choose any device in the Imager tool just select the image file, storage device and write the image to the card, nothing else needs to be done.
BTT CB1 image V2.3.2 is the only one that I've been able to get the TFT35 and ADXL345 working on. V2.3.3 won't even boot for me and V2.3.4 can't communicate with the ADXL345. So my advice for now until a fix is available is stick with image V2.3.2 and don't update Klipper from within MainsailOS because it will mess up the ADXL345 communications.
Klipper does a great job with their software updates and I guess work well with the Raspberry Pi folks but the BTT people either don't collaborate with the Klipper people enough or are terrible at maintaining their documentation.
So you are doing to need two SD cards. You need one for the Pi and another to move the firmware from your PC to the printer. correct?
also would you recommend the Biqu bed leveling sensor?
Hi, Thank you for commenting. Yes, you need two. One of them will live in the Raspberry Pi so I would recommend using the fastest SD card you can find within your budget. It doesn't need to be more than 32gb in size, just fast.
Great work .....very usefull...thanks a lot
Thank you friend, I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time. Best of luck with your upgrades.
hi victor, i have an error.
error code: mcu 'mcu': Unable to connect
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the
"FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the
config, and restart the host software.
Error configuring printer
im using a ender 3 pro so also a different printer.cfg, could that be the cause?
Hi Marinus, Did it ever work or have you always seen this message? Many connection issues can be resolved by trying a different USB to USB micro cable, many of them are charge only cables and don't have the two data wires needed for communication between the Raspberry Pi and Printer. If you are using a data cable try a different one anyway, I've had new cables out of the box not work.
@@vbared i bought a second hand printer that used to run klipper. i have no idea how he configured it. i will try a new cable
Thanks for the updated process on Klipperizing an Ender 3 V2. I guess I won't be updating my OG Ender3 with a v4.2.2 board and klipper. I haven't had any problems when I klipperized my OGE3 about a year ago and I've been running it without updates. LOL
Also did you get a chance to try out the cheap metal heatbreak I told you about before?
Also since you did the dual belted Z from KevinAKASam, will you do a klackender as well?
Cheers and keep up the good work.
Anytime, friend, yeah, don't update it unless there is some special feature that your current version doesn't have. My buddy, Doug, said the most recent update severed the MCU link between the board and pi. Despite my efforts to find a workaround without having to do a complete reinstall, I was unable to find the solution. If you come across one, please share it with me.
All my machines thankfully are currently reliable so I haven't had the need to mess with leaky hotends. I recently installed a CHC Pro Volcano that comes with a 115-watt ceramic heater and 300c thermistor on one of my Ender 3 V2s so I can try and increase print speeds.
I'll make a video of it soon.
@@vbared I'll give you a heads up IF that's a big IF I need an update. So far Orca slicer is the only one I update.
Sometimes you really need a new hotend for your application. Thankfully ABS and PETG are my only filament that I needed the new heatbreak for!
Cheers!
Hi on the PDF on page 12 it mentioned "precompiled Ender-3-V2-Klipper.bin" I don't see this under the description. Is this available to download? I have the same Ender 3 V2 4.2.2 printer.
Hi Jorge, Thank you for commenting. Yeah, I need to remove that from the guide because in order for things to work the compile steps still needs to be done by your Raspberry Pi. In addition to this, I found out that there are two different control chips that Creality is using in the 4.2.2 boards. Each one might require different compile settings so using one may not work in the other, all of mine have the STM32F103RET6 chip.
I'll link my bin if you still want it , just let me know, but recommend that you follow the compile steps in the guide that creates the support environment and bin file in your Raspberry Pi for it to work.
@@vbared I followed the guide but since I'm using an Orange Pi I had to do install mainsail a different way. My ender 3 is basically stock and it has a 4.2.2 STM32F103 board. I tried flashing the bin I created but mainsail doesn't read my printer even after checking I had a good USB cable. So I'm trying to check if it was the bin file I messed up. Thank you.
What value are you getting when you enter this between the quotes into PuTTy? "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*" @@jorgewastaken
@@vbared /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
@@vbared /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0 . This is what i get. Looks the same as in the video.
I got an error once I added my printer.cfg file.
Option 'serial' in section 'mcu' must be specified
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART"
command to reload the config and restart the host software.
Printer is halted
Anyone know what this is?
Hi Kevin, On page 12 of the PDF near the bottom there is an LS command. Copy that complete command, paste it into an open PuTTy session and press enter. It should respond with a series of numbers and letters. That response is what you need to place in the printer.cfg file in the MCU section.
If the output says something like file not found or dir not found then try a different USB to micro cable.
Hi mate, I got this config uploaded and everything looks like it should work but no dice :( I've the 4.2.7 board, it all works fine in the Pro marlin firmware just not on Mailsail / Klipper
I keep getting the following error "No trigger on x after full movement"
Hi Chris, great job getting things working to this point. Does this error message appear when you try to home?
@ Yes sir, when I try and home it trows that error :( would you have a discord that I can talk to you on?
@@vbared sorry for the spam, but controlling the toolhead / bed is working fine, just zero movement from the printer when I try and home, Also the Pro Marlin firmware works perfect
