Great video. After watching dozens of videos, and reading dozens of articles to configure my board and I finally got it down packed. Best video hands down.
This has been hands down the best guide I've seen through this little experience, I set up a lap top to run my printers and you gave me EXACTLY the answers I needed. Thank you!
When viewing videos on installing Klipper, you are the first person I have seen mention about the difference between the Windows NotePad and the NotePad++ and why to not use the Windows NotePad.
Great tutorial. I tried it 2 times and it did not work. I think you should mention that you can't directly flash the firmware on the old Ender 3 motherboards : 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and 1.1.4. You need to burn a different bootloader on it before doing it. It would have saved me so much time!
Destoyed a stepper driver, buyed a Bigtreetech board. Followed your video and It worked on the first try, without any problem. Wonderfull done, keep on going!!
Your videos are not too long.... don't sweat the youtube algorithm. People really need details and recommendations, and that is where your videos shine. Thanks for your detailed installs of BigTreeTech gear and thanks for these Klipper vids. I'm working on the Linux on a laptop option right now. Dropped it years ago because WPA2 enterprise function in a lot of linux flavors was infeasible.....which is why I cant use an RPi or clones. So far Fedora 38 gives me great Cura 5.4 functionality controlling printers ....and I can run multiple instances, or use Pronterface. ..... but can't get Octoprint or Repetier Server working, so switching to Ubuntu 22 and will update back here when I can ....so far Cura is Old (4.13) and Pronterface isn't available ....but Repetier Server loaded and Octoprint is loading now. Will try Klipper to compare once I have that baseline data.
Thank you for the encouragement! 😊 I am considering getting a Linux machine set up in one of my old laptops to show how to use klipper on it, but I don't have a time line for that yet. In the meantime, if you haven't already looked into it, check out KIAUH it will make setting up Klipper a breeze. github.com/dw-0/kiauh
Idk what this dude is talking about, you over explain a ton of shit and I am constantly sliding around in the video, or getting distracted while you go on about sd card speed. I'm not saying the info isn't there, I'm just getting lost when it takes forever to explain a concept. like, just make another video for that concept. also thanks for making this, i gave you a thumb/sub@@StackingLayers
@@user-xq3zj8gz6o I do over explain...a lot 😅 It's a bad habit of mine. At the same time I'm addressing things that I see as common problems with beginners, and trying to stress the importance of getting it right the first time. Still, I do need to practice consolidation.
I hope that your channel grows exponentially . The full coverage , the nice pace , the step by step approach , nothing assumed , super close up view of your pc screen , it all goes to make for essential viewing . I don't have a BTT Pi but I thoroughly enjoyed the deviation from the RPi route and the other vignettes that made for a clearer understanding of the klipper system . The firmware.bin.bin is one example. I wish you every success.
You are a LIFESAVER!! I have watched DOZENS of other videos on this topic. Yours got me through it! By far the BEST video on this topic. Will be be sending you a little $$ soon!
Thank you for showing AND explaining what you do. There are many small details a lot of videos leave out. Just the right amount of rant vs babbling. Awesome man! I just got started in 3d printing and wanted to avoid the 40 year old sneakernet.
So I don’t mind the rambling to be honest, more info the better. So far you have helped me get past where I was stuck. Hopefully I have time in the next day or two to finish it up!
Thanks a Lot, you saved me. Was Trying to install klipper on my Biqu B1 for a week. Did evrything a lot tutorials told me to. But the only thing no one said was to name your bin file firmware, some said to name differet from the last update, others said to leave at is. Only this little thing made the trick!
Excellent tutorial. I got the bug after the last RPI update and it didn't recognize any USB devices attached to the Pi, I tried a few things that didn't work. Finally decided to start from scratch and this video helped me to load a new Klipper copy into the Raspberry and the printer board. I used the old printer configuration files and everything is working again. Thumps up, keep up the good work and more vids like this one.
Phone chargers are power supplies. The battery management systems are located in the device being charged. Chargers with quick charge can change voltage if a QC device is plugged in.
i had not luck installing the OS for the pie but i ended up installing the specific purpose 3d printer OS, then klipper with kiauh, then following this guide after that. worked like a charm!
You sir are once again a life saver, I updated my klipper and didn’t have my can boards to auto update so it wasn’t working. In the process of trying to fix the issue I completely stuffed the klipper on my can board so I thought the easiest way forward was to reflash everything. This was super easy to follow as I completely forgot how to do it. Now I am going to rewatch your canbus video to get my new canboard working. Thanks heaps mate 👍🇦🇺😊
Thank you for this - I got the software configured and loaded, but was missing the notes about loading the board serial number into the config file. I spent hours banging my head on an anvil until I found this. Thanks!
You really saved my time, I thought i just wasted my money on the btt pi and TFT 35 to make the cheapad. NOBODY could explain this well as you could thanks very much!!! 1:10:01
Absolutely fantastic, been trying to get this SV01 with a BTT SKR mini e3 v3 to work and marlin wasnt having it and i was ready to just trash the whole thing so thank you so much! fantastic Guide one of the best ive ever followed for sure!
Thank you very very much, this is the ONLY video that I found that was specific to my set up (BTT SKR mini E3 v3 + PI4B + CB1). I followed your tutorial to the letter pausing at each step and the end result was I was able to get everything installed connected and working as expected. I cant express my gratitude enough to you for taking the time to explain this in detail and with god knows how much patience. keep up the good work and I look forward to your next videos.
@@StackingLayers sorry to be a pain. i sent you a message on Instagram i was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem i just ran into after updating klipper where now all my files are blank ( literally every file is blank)but im not getting any error messages. I have been looking for 2 days and I cant seem to find anything to fix this issue. how do I get my files back? thanks in advance
Thank you for this awesome guide. Absolutely the best guide I have found and although I used a different microcontroller board this was helpful enough in understanding the setup and with many useful software tool suggestions you made along the way the install went much smoother. I am breathing new life into my aged PrintrBot Simple Metal by running it with Klipper firmware and hopefully will get some refinement in print quality. Thanks again and keep up the good work, I will definitely follow your channel now.
so nice to have a solid, every step covered guide. my old ender3 pro, with its new skr mini an bttpi are klipper'd thanks to this video. very nice work
Yes! Whoo Hoo!! Finally an indepth guide on the install - I was pulling my hair out while trying to get my Manta E3EZ flashed and working :) Thank you so much! Extremely appreciated
Thank you! Suuuper helpful tut. I had all sorts of little challenges outside of the scope of this video (like doing it from a mac vs a pc) but it still provided a perfect roadmap nonetheless.
A bad flash bricked my board so I had to flash a stock bootloader and firmware file I found with an ST Link v2 tool off Amazon. I can't seem to get the firmware to flash from the SD card so I figured out how to directly flash a firmware with this tool using a hex editor 😎. The eeprom dump has a bootloader at the beginning of the file and then there is a break in the code and the firmware has to be written after it. This is why you can't simply flash the firmware file with this tool because it will overwrite the bootloader. I was able to turn the generated firmware bin file into a hex file and splice it into a file with the bootloader in front of it and after flashing that I have connection over UART now without an SD card. I'm thinking of making a video on this because it could be used to help people who have damaged SD card slots. But yea thank you for your video so I could get up to speed on how this stuff works 👍
You are a great teacher and you took the time to explain the "why". My set up was a little different and I was able to figure it out. Thank You! You have a new subscriber.
My printer is not working yet but I’m so close cuz your video! Thank you for making this! I did have a problem getting the ls /dev/serial/by-id/* to work turns out I had to delete the klipper.cfg file copy and paste the same file but rename it firmware.cfg then it worked. I know you said to do that but somewhere it went wrong just putting this here for other people. Don’t know if this matters but I pulled the jumper from the boot pins labeled boot on my BTT octopus I followed (Stacking Layers) vid to a T at the end there it got a little confusing however, I config it for my board, which is a BTT octopus v1.1 And it worked
Glad to see it was helpful. The boot pins on the octopus put it in DFU mode which uses a different way of flashing firmware and bootloaders. It doesn't need to be there for the firmware.bin via SD card method.
I really do need to work on staying on track. I should write a script, but it's just too unnatural for me. It's my goal to produce clear and informative videos, so cutting out the tangents is a must. They will get better.
Great Video - Its long but detailed and covers all relevant points - Plan to upgrade (convert to Klipper an old machine I have) I was confused after watching other shorter videos... But this helped to clear up things. Placed my order with BIG TREE TECH. Confidence is up now. Thank you!
Great video, just what I have been looking for. I have an Orange Pi 3 LTS. I used an 8-bit board and installed klipper as a test for my Ender 3 Pro using KIAH, but it is good to know how to do it this way. I usually get bored with long videos and don't finish or fast forward as usually they are not things I am all that interested in. But I watched your entire video. It was really interesting. The one thing I have been struggling with is the configuration files. Most of the videos or information I find just glosses over them or barely mentions them at all. I have an Ender 3 Pro, but it has been modified quite a bit. Dual lead screws each with its own stepper and a timing belt, SKR Mini E3 V3.0 board, Microswiss direct drive with all metal hotend. I am going to add a different direct drive bracket though as the Microswiss messed up my homing and I can't seem to fix that. I will also add a BMG extruder clone with a smaller stepper. I am curious will I have to change anything in the printer.cfg file when I add the new motor. Looking forward to your next video.
I'm glad the video was interesting for you. The new motor/extruder will likely need some settings adjusted. Rotation_distance would be the first I would check, and depending on the type of driver setup, if you have current control that may need adjusting.
Yeah with that board you set it in the printer.cfg under the [tmc2209 stepper_x] for example for the X driver. The run_current: setting. This is the full generic configuration for that board, github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/blob/master/firmware/V3.0/Klipper/SKR-mini-E3-V3.0-klipper.cfg
So at 28:40. The two files we need to watch for are not on my installation of klipper ( i did on pi 4 with mainsail) um the boardenv.txt and the system.cfg. I used raspberry pi imager 1.8.5 also
Those aren't for raspberry pi. When toy make the image for raspberry pi, there is a gear icon in raspberry pi imager that lets you set up ssh and wifi stuff. Yes that. Also raspberry pi has a config.txt that is similar to the Borden.txt on the CB1/BTTpi. Here is the info on that, www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html
Great video. You haven't mentioned using The TFT touch screen. Do you have to use a remote computer when using clipper? Does the mini SD card have to be partitioned? I really don't want to dedicate my MacBook Pro to when I use my 3D printer.
You could use an HDMI touch screen or something similar and install Klipperscreen as an at machine interface. The standard Bigtreetech TFT35 Touch screen and the likes are not natively supported by klipper as they use a seperate firmware. The browser UI is the main interface, and once the machine is printing you do not need to keep the UI open. You can also access it from any device with a web browser as long as it's on the same network. If you install something like OctoEverywhere then you can log in from anywhere outside of your local network. As for the SD card the image burning process will set the partitions as needed. No need to do that ahead of time.
This is exactly the video i needed for my setup ! Totally new to klipper, and bought the skr e3v3 to upgrade my cr10 pro v2 also think about buying a direct drive hotend but i want a light one any suggestions? I want good cooling now using 5020 fan
@@StackingLayersthanks for the respons, very helpful. The biqu h2 v2s has a lite version(175gr) that's sub 100 wich seems very interesting. I think I go this route then. It seems a bit daunting how to mount it for the moment but I see they have stl brackets too. You sir have acquired another follower !
I noticed on the Klipper page, the installation instructions say to use Octopi is the base OS. I never understood why they don't have just the Mainsail option without Octoprint. I love octoprint. Used it on my Ender 5 with Marlin 2 for years, but I have enough functionality via Mainsail to not need Octoprint and I feel most DIY/Maker/Home Users will be in the same boat. By the way - WiFi country has nothing to do with time zones, it only defines WiFi channels available legally in the country. I know you kind of corrected that later, but I am just being pedantic
Thanks for a awesome video. Going try to get Klipper onto my Creality CR10 Smart printer. You did this sometime back, is there an updated video or is it basically the same. thanks
If the minimal Debian is used, can the KIAUH be used to install klipper on the BTT Pi? How is this different from using the klipper image? Especially in terms of firmware update
Yes it can be done that way and you will not miss out on anything other than it already being installed for you. All updates will work exactly the same.
You'll need to find the settings for the board you have and then make and install the firmware. It's more or less the same process for all machines. If you have the atmega1284p chip on your board then this is likely the settings and config but do the research to be sure don't just start flashing without confirming the installed equipment. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config%2Fprinter-creality-cr10-2017.cfg
Thank you for the helpful video! However, my SKR Mini e3 V3 doesn't display anything on my LCD when I boot it up with the SD card, despite following your instructions. I noticed that the (klipper.bin) file in the video is only 28KB (and mine is only 35KB), which seems small compared to my previous Marlin firmware (about 220KB). Could this be a point of concern?
Marlon is substantially larger because the entire system is running on the mcu. With Klipper most of the system is running on the host soc (Raspberry Pi for example ) and the firmware on the mcu is very minimal and only what is required to be able to convert commands into motion and the likes. For the LCD you will need to make sure it's configured correctly for the screen that you have keep in mind that touchscreens that were compatible with Marlin are not natively supported by Klipper, like the TFT35 screens that have a choice of touch mone or Marlin mode. Most of the interaction with clipper is through the web UI. For screen interface it's highly recommended to go to Klipperscreen if you want a touch interface otherwise use a simple non-touch screen like the btt mini 12864, as shown in this video, ruclips.net/video/7UAeiQlKXxw/видео.htmlsi=bv2GOOAyLSKOYwt9
I have the error of "unable to open config file /home/jshug/printer_data/config/printer.cfg Not too sure where to go 46:14 is where I'm at in the process.
You need to create a file called printer.cfg and put the configuration for your machine in it. Here's a bunch of pre configured examples if your machine is there, then copy and paste contents to the new printer.cfg file. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/config
The standard TFT35 is not fully supported by klipper. You can run it in marlin mode for the basic functions, no touch. It's better to set up an HDMI touch screen and run KlipperScreen if you want a screen at the machine.
You have to make those yourself. Here's the repo of examples. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/config Look for your machine and/or board you are using, then adjust as needed.
Hope you can lend a hand, so Im up to the part where we've installed putty, im able to log into, but the biqu doesnt work for me. After entering the password I just get denied. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 with an SKR Mini E3 V3.
With Raspberry Pi you are supposed to setup your user and password before installation when using the raspberry pi imager program. The default user is, pi. The default password is, raspberry. I can't remember if ssh is active by default, but if you get in then use, sudo raspi-config and go to System Options to change the password.
That's a custom .cfg file. Looks like it belongs to this project, github.com/Turge08/print_area_bed_mesh/tree/master Since that hasn't been maintained for a long time you might want to look into KAMP for adaptive bed meshing github.com/kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging
Hello...I did the installation for an ender 3 v3 se on a raspberry board. But I have this error in klipper: section "filter" is not a valid config section. Could you help me what it could be? I am grateful in advance. Tks
You'll need to search your config for filter I would assume it's something that is out of place. I don't know of any functions that are called filter so it's likely something custom.
what do you do if you dont get the serial number i put the sd back in my computer and its now a .cur so it flashed but its not showing in putty so how do i get the number i need
If you type, lsusb do you see the board in that list? If not you may need to try a different usb cable. Not all have proper data pins connected. Some are for charging only.
so i get to the update part where you use mainsail which you have up and ready to go. i goto mainsail and i cant find how to get to the screen your already on. i have putty up and linked to ssh but mainsail nope and it wont let me access the ssh part. please help.
your video helped me greatly but im still stuck on the issue ive been stuck at. when i run the "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*" code it says no such file directory, i would greatly appreciate if someone had some advice or an answer to my issue
There are a few things that could do this. A bad USB cable (not all are made for data either), a wrong setting in the firmware make config, or there's a few versions of Debian that caused an error reading serial by-id. To check if you have a bad Debian version run this command in terminal, apt show udev If your version is 247.3-7+deb11u2 you have the broken version. This will go into more detail on that. www.teamfdm.com/forums/topic/1892-beware-latest-klipper-update-breaks-symlink-to-mcu-on-usb-connected-devices/#comment-12246
@@StackingLayers thank you so much, yes im using that version of debian and have been practically pulling my hair out over the last two days trying to figure it out
Hi man! I have one question about the OS choice. I just downloaded the imager flash and nowadays we have a bunch of different options availables... I bought the BTT PI V1.2 and dont know what spec to choose on OS.
The BTT pi needs the cb1 image. The raspberry pi images are not compatible, it's a different chip set. This is the official bigtreetech image github.com/bigtreetech/CB1/releases/tag/V2.3.4
Can you please help me! My mcu is not being found when I get to 1:07:30 in the video I don’t have those 5 lines it only has 3 and I cannot find the mother board using a rpi4 and skr mini e3 v3
The amount of lines that show up with lsusb will very, don't be too worried about that. If the ls /dev/serial/by-id/* is not being found then perhaps the usb cord is not good.
Another though is make sure the firmware actually flashed, if you check the firmware.bin on the SD card after flashing, it will have changed to firmware.cur if it did not change then it did not flash.
If it says marlin then the firmware did not flash. Make sure you are using an SD card that is formatted to fat32. It's best to use one that's 8GB or less
Hi I just ordered an skr e3v3 with this intended purpose and was curious about having to jump the 2 pins to make it usb powered. Are those red bits in the box with the board? Or are they sold separately? Do I even need those or can I just join the 2 pins with some solder?
They come with it. Never solder those pins. The USB power is for programming only. You have to use a regular 12V or 24v power supply, depending on your machine, to actually print.
When I'm on putty, it lets me type in the login (biqu), but immedietly after when it asks for my password, nothing happens. I type in biqu for the password but no characters appear and when I press enter, it takes a couple of seconds but it says access denied. Also if I leave it open for about a minute it'll telll me "remote side unexpectedly closed network connection". Any ideas as to why this is happening?
The password not showing any characters is normal. Make sure to type it in all lowercase. biqu then hit enter. And yes if you wait too long it will time out and auto disconnect.
I got a pi4 from a friend. It has an sd card with it, im not sure whats on it bu t know its not klipper. Whats the best way to wipe it and prepare it for klipper install? Many thanks.
Just use raspberry pi imager. It'll format the SD and set it up for you. Choose the raspberry pi 4 board then the mainsail os I show. Keep in mind that raspberry pi imager has gone through a UI update so things look a little different from my video now. Also the stuff about the CB1/BTT Pi can be skipped for raspberry pi.
If you are not having any issues, you are fine with doing the standard Debian uptates using this command, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y If you choose to update the to the new image then yes you'll need to set some things up again, like the printer.cfg. It's best to make a backup of all that so you can just copy in after updating. The controller board will be fine as klipper firmware doesn't change with the host image.
Technically if it's working fine and you are happy with it then no you don't have to update it, unless there's a bug found and the update fixes a potential danger. Other reasons to update is for performance improvements. The down side of updates is there's always a small possibility of introducing a new bug, so it's recommend to wait a little and read up on how it's going for others before updating.
@StackingLayers I am more interested in remote monitoring/control than anything else. At the moment, I am only able to monitor my printer while in my home connected to the Wi-Fi. But if I should be out of the house, at the grocery store for example, then I can't monitor or control the printer.
Just got a btt pi v1.2 and going to try this on my cr-10 v3 with an skr mini e3 v3 board. Any recommendations on how to pick and choose between presets for that vs and ender 3? I successfully flashed marlin 2.1.x bugfix but klipper seems like the way to go. Also it seems like I can’t use a pi camera with the btt pi. Is there any alternatives I can use or should I just get a real pi4b? Same goes for input shaping if I go with the btt pi am I stuck using btt input shapers or vice versa? Am I good to just use my stock cr-10 display with the btt pi/pi4b? if I do get an external display from btt would that run on a pi4b too? Many thanks this video is incredible!
With the BTT pi you can't use a raspberry pi camera, but you can use a usb webcam. All of the different accelerometers will work. The BTT or any of the other usb style accelerometers are the easiest to set up. The cr-10 screen will work with the skr mini you don't hook that to the btt pi, but for a better UI I recommend an HDMI touch screen. That will plug to the BTT pi an you would install the KlipperScreen service.
Thank you so much for the most complete tutorial ever. I have a small issue thought. Everything is set up and waorking on my ender 3 v2 with skar mini e3 v3, but I don't have BLTOUCH and it is expecting that so it doesnt home. How can I disable the BL touch?
In the printer.cfg file look for a section that has [BLtouch] remove or put a # in front of those lines to disable it. Also make sure that End-Stop pin in the stepper z part is an actual pin number and not virtual endstop z probe
@@StackingLayers as far as I can tell endstop pin is PC2. I entered that and now I can another error : Option 'position_endstop' in section 'stepper_z' must be specified
Followed your video to a T, however I still am unable to access the BTT Pi via Wi-Fi. All Wi-Fi inputs are correct (SSID & PASSWORD). I have had to link via ethernet cable. Do you think there is an issue with the BBT Pi? Otherwise, your video is great. Very big help with setup. Thank you 😊😊
i have been crying my eyes out for something like this look at this 2 times and the more i watch the more i feel like i understand. therefore yes i would like to see more. I have no i dea what im doing but this seems like a what i need to get stared. now i do have a question how do i add Idex files ?
i just checked what junk i have laying around in my stash of no longer used projects and a stupid thought came to mind, what if you use laptop/chromebook motherboard in place of pi board and bodge 2 arduino unos as the one mcu, one as x,y,e stepper brain, and the other one as heaters and z stepper. it in theory would have enough processing power to exist as a 3d printer even if single arduino could be too small to run all the io' s . but i presume mega is the smallest viable option so i probbaly better get 2nd hand ender board if i want to think of making a printer but in general is split mcu even possible with klipper. i know it is stupid but it is almost midnight here
Hi, It's a very good and informative video. I followed everything and installed Klipper and even the GUI on my Pi Touch screen. I'm using a Pi 3B. I installed the SKR MiniE3 on my Tevo Tornado which has a AC heat bed connected to SSR.Everything working well. But once the heatbed and nozzle temperature reaches required levels printing starts and continue but immediately hot end temperatue starts falling. Once it falls below Minimum Temperature 170 printer stops.(Print continues till then) Can you help me to sort this out. Extruder is E3D V6. Thermister Generic 3950. Power supply is 24V 8.5A.Thank you very much in advance.
That sounds like there's something wrong with the gcode from the slicer, or the start gcode has a command to stop heating. Look for M104 S0 and M140 S0 those turn off the hotend and bed. Also check that your slicer is in Klipper flavor if that's not available use Marlin flavor.
excelente video , yo tenia ya precompilado el firmware a la impresora con un pc viejo.. para hacerlo con el cb1 tengo que volver a precompilar firmware? gracias
It is best to make the newest klipper firmware. That will ensure that everything is working well. If you look at the version of your current klipper firmware and it matches then you don't have to do it again.
Great video. After watching dozens of videos, and reading dozens of articles to configure my board and I finally got it down packed. Best video hands down.

Wow thank you so much for the kind thoughts.
You are a LIFESAVER!! I have watched DOZENS of other videos on this topic. Yours got me through it! By far the BEST video on this topic. Will be be sending you a little $$ soon!
I'm so glad that it was helpful! Thank you so much for the support!
Thank you for showing AND explaining what you do. There are many small details a lot of videos leave out. Just the right amount of rant vs babbling. Awesome man! I just got started in 3d printing and wanted to avoid the 40 year old sneakernet.
Awesome, thank you!
So glad I ran across your video, I watched several other tutorial videos and yours was by far the easiest to follow!
So I don’t mind the rambling to be honest, more info the better. So far you have helped me get past where I was stuck. Hopefully I have time in the next day or two to finish it up!
Thanks a Lot, you saved me. Was Trying to install klipper on my Biqu B1 for a week. Did evrything a lot tutorials told me to. But the only thing no one said was to name your bin file firmware, some said to name differet from the last update, others said to leave at is. Only this little thing made the trick!
Great to see it helped you get up and running! The B1 works great with klipper! I'm slowly working on modifying mine as a direct drive IDEX set up.
Awesome video. Felt like a mini class and was easily able to step through the process.
Excellent tutorial. I got the bug after the last RPI update and it didn't recognize any USB devices attached to the Pi, I tried a few things that didn't work. Finally decided to start from scratch and this video helped me to load a new Klipper copy into the Raspberry and the printer board. I used the old printer configuration files and everything is working again. Thumps up, keep up the good work and more vids like this one.
Very nice to see it was helpful 😊
Phone chargers are power supplies. The battery management systems are located in the device being charged. Chargers with quick charge can change voltage if a QC device is plugged in.
Thank you! this was such a great step by step tutorial
i had not luck installing the OS for the pie but i ended up installing the specific purpose 3d printer OS, then klipper with kiauh, then following this guide after that. worked like a charm!
You sir are once again a life saver, I updated my klipper and didn’t have my can boards to auto update so it wasn’t working. In the process of trying to fix the issue I completely stuffed the klipper on my can board so I thought the easiest way forward was to reflash everything. This was super easy to follow as I completely forgot how to do it. Now I am going to rewatch your canbus video to get my new canboard working. Thanks heaps mate 👍🇦🇺😊
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you for this - I got the software configured and loaded, but was missing the notes about loading the board serial number into the config file. I spent hours banging my head on an anvil until I found this. Thanks!
You're welcome. It's nice to see it was helpful.
You really saved my time, I thought i just wasted my money on the btt pi and TFT 35 to make the cheapad. NOBODY could explain this well as you could thanks very much!!! 1:10:01
Absolutely fantastic, been trying to get this SV01 with a BTT SKR mini e3 v3 to work and marlin wasnt having it and i was ready to just trash the whole thing so thank you so much! fantastic Guide one of the best ive ever followed for sure!
Great to see it was helpful!
Thank you! Your guide finally made it clear enough to my brain. Installed successfully and now I'm tuning.
So great to see it was helpful!
Thanks man, your video guide still works to this day that this comment is uploaded.
You're welcome. I'm glad to see it's still helping people.
Thank you very very much, this is the ONLY video that I found that was specific to my set up (BTT SKR mini E3 v3 + PI4B + CB1). I followed your tutorial to the letter pausing at each step and the end result was I was able to get everything installed connected and working as expected. I cant express my gratitude enough to you for taking the time to explain this in detail and with god knows how much patience. keep up the good work and I look forward to your next videos.
So nice to see that it was helpful 😊
@@StackingLayers sorry to be a pain. i sent you a message on Instagram i was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem i just ran into after updating klipper where now all my files are blank ( literally every file is blank)but im not getting any error messages.
I have been looking for 2 days and I cant seem to find anything to fix this issue.
how do I get my files back?
thanks in advance
Thank you for this awesome guide. Absolutely the best guide I have found and although I used a different microcontroller board this was helpful enough in understanding the setup and with many useful software tool suggestions you made along the way the install went much smoother. I am breathing new life into my aged PrintrBot Simple Metal by running it with Klipper firmware and hopefully will get some refinement in print quality. Thanks again and keep up the good work, I will definitely follow your channel now.
That's great to see this was helpful! Klipper is pretty great for reviving oder machines. I wish you lots of success.
so nice to have a solid, every step covered guide. my old ender3 pro, with its new skr mini an bttpi are klipper'd thanks to this video. very nice work
Yes! Whoo Hoo!! Finally an indepth guide on the install - I was pulling my hair out while trying to get my Manta E3EZ flashed and working :) Thank you so much! Extremely appreciated
Nice to see it was helpful
Thank you for the video it really helped and its straight to the point. Appreciated !
Thank you! Suuuper helpful tut. I had all sorts of little challenges outside of the scope of this video (like doing it from a mac vs a pc) but it still provided a perfect roadmap nonetheless.
Perfect...as others have said, this is the best guide on YT for setting up Klipper.
Awesome glad you liked it.
wow! just wow! this video is amazing ! it works like a charm ! thank you so much !
You're welcome!
A bad flash bricked my board so I had to flash a stock bootloader and firmware file I found with an ST Link v2 tool off Amazon. I can't seem to get the firmware to flash from the SD card so I figured out how to directly flash a firmware with this tool using a hex editor 😎. The eeprom dump has a bootloader at the beginning of the file and then there is a break in the code and the firmware has to be written after it. This is why you can't simply flash the firmware file with this tool because it will overwrite the bootloader. I was able to turn the generated firmware bin file into a hex file and splice it into a file with the bootloader in front of it and after flashing that I have connection over UART now without an SD card.
I'm thinking of making a video on this because it could be used to help people who have damaged SD card slots. But yea thank you for your video so I could get up to speed on how this stuff works 👍
That would definitely be a great video to see and probably very helpful for some.
Great video, easy to follow along with, thanks.
You are a great teacher and you took the time to explain the "why". My set up was a little different and I was able to figure it out. Thank You! You have a new subscriber.
You're very welcome! Thanks for the sub.
My printer is not working yet but I’m so close cuz your video! Thank you for making this!
I did have a problem getting the
ls /dev/serial/by-id/* to work turns out I had to delete the klipper.cfg file copy and paste the same file but rename it firmware.cfg then it worked. I know you said to do that but somewhere it went wrong just putting this here for other people. Don’t know if this matters but I pulled the jumper from the boot pins labeled boot on my BTT octopus
I followed (Stacking Layers) vid to a T at the end there it got a little confusing however, I config it for my board, which is a BTT octopus v1.1 And it worked
Glad to see it was helpful.
The boot pins on the octopus put it in DFU mode which uses a different way of flashing firmware and bootloaders. It doesn't need to be there for the firmware.bin via SD card method.
Thank you so much for very detailed video, I finally got hooked up with my BTT PI and Ocotopus Pro board with this.
Glad to see it was helpful.
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Please keep making content. It sounds like you know you have to make them shorter. 👍
I really do need to work on staying on track. I should write a script, but it's just too unnatural for me. It's my goal to produce clear and informative videos, so cutting out the tangents is a must. They will get better.
Great Video - Its long but detailed and covers all relevant points - Plan to upgrade (convert to Klipper an old machine I have)
I was confused after watching other shorter videos...
But this helped to clear up things. Placed my order with BIG TREE TECH. Confidence is up now.
Thank you!

Super duper good Job. Highly appreciated!
It's very difficult to do such kind of videos and you have nailed it.
Good info 👍🏻
Thanks! 😊
Thank you so much for such an awesome tutorial and being very thorough on the how and why you do things. Earned to subscribe and a like from me!
Great video, just what I have been looking for. I have an Orange Pi 3 LTS. I used an 8-bit board and installed klipper as a test for my Ender 3 Pro using KIAH, but it is good to know how to do it this way. I usually get bored with long videos and don't finish or fast forward as usually they are not things I am all that interested in. But I watched your entire video. It was really interesting.
The one thing I have been struggling with is the configuration files. Most of the videos or information I find just glosses over them or barely mentions them at all. I have an Ender 3 Pro, but it has been modified quite a bit. Dual lead screws each with its own stepper and a timing belt, SKR Mini E3 V3.0 board, Microswiss direct drive with all metal hotend. I am going to add a different direct drive bracket though as the Microswiss messed up my homing and I can't seem to fix that. I will also add a BMG extruder clone with a smaller stepper.
I am curious will I have to change anything in the printer.cfg file when I add the new motor. Looking forward to your next video.
I'm glad the video was interesting for you.
The new motor/extruder will likely need some settings adjusted. Rotation_distance would be the first I would check, and depending on the type of driver setup, if you have current control that may need adjusting.
@@StackingLayers I don't think you can adjust the current on the board of the SKR Mini E3 V3.0 unless it is under that big heatsink.
Yeah with that board you set it in the printer.cfg under the [tmc2209 stepper_x] for example for the X driver.
The run_current: setting.
This is the full generic configuration for that board, github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/blob/master/firmware/V3.0/Klipper/SKR-mini-E3-V3.0-klipper.cfg
@@StackingLayers Thanks for the info, appreciated.
Where's the updates....lol I've learned alot with this video thank you for the help.
Wow man, this has been extremely helful, incredible explanation
Thank you! It's always nice to see my videos actually helping out.
So at 28:40. The two files we need to watch for are not on my installation of klipper ( i did on pi 4 with mainsail) um the boardenv.txt and the system.cfg. I used raspberry pi imager 1.8.5 also
Those aren't for raspberry pi. When toy make the image for raspberry pi, there is a gear icon in raspberry pi imager that lets you set up ssh and wifi stuff. Yes that. Also raspberry pi has a config.txt that is similar to the Borden.txt on the CB1/BTTpi. Here is the info on that, www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html
Admirable video, but please tighten up the narration and description.
100% I am slowly trying to make my videos easier to digest while still proving a full learning experience.
Great video. You haven't mentioned using The TFT touch screen. Do you have to use a remote computer when using clipper? Does the mini SD card have to be partitioned? I really don't want to dedicate my MacBook Pro to when I use my 3D printer.
You could use an HDMI touch screen or something similar and install Klipperscreen as an at machine interface. The standard Bigtreetech TFT35 Touch screen and the likes are not natively supported by klipper as they use a seperate firmware. The browser UI is the main interface, and once the machine is printing you do not need to keep the UI open. You can also access it from any device with a web browser as long as it's on the same network. If you install something like OctoEverywhere then you can log in from anywhere outside of your local network.
As for the SD card the image burning process will set the partitions as needed. No need to do that ahead of time.
This is exactly the video i needed for my setup ! Totally new to klipper, and bought the skr e3v3 to upgrade my cr10 pro v2 also think about buying a direct drive hotend but i want a light one any suggestions? I want good cooling now using 5020 fan
Glad it was helpful. I use the BIQU H2 direct drive extruder on 2 of my machines and I've been very happy with them.
@@StackingLayersthanks for the respons, very helpful. The biqu h2 v2s has a lite version(175gr) that's sub 100 wich seems very interesting. I think I go this route then. It seems a bit daunting how to mount it for the moment but I see they have stl brackets too. You sir have acquired another follower !
I noticed on the Klipper page, the installation instructions say to use Octopi is the base OS. I never understood why they don't have just the Mainsail option without Octoprint. I love octoprint. Used it on my Ender 5 with Marlin 2 for years, but I have enough functionality via Mainsail to not need Octoprint and I feel most DIY/Maker/Home Users will be in the same boat.
By the way - WiFi country has nothing to do with time zones, it only defines WiFi channels available legally in the country. I know you kind of corrected that later, but I am just being pedantic
Thanks for a awesome video. Going try to get Klipper onto my Creality CR10 Smart printer. You did this sometime back, is there an updated video or is it basically the same. thanks
It's overall the same
@vaughanza did you manage to do it? Where did you find the printer config file and what board did you have?
ahh, thank you. This helped me finally figure this out.
That's wonderful! Happy to see it was helpful.
In my universe they were SCANDISK. They also do not seem to fail for me.
If the minimal Debian is used, can the KIAUH be used to install klipper on the BTT Pi? How is this different from using the klipper image? Especially in terms of firmware update
Yes it can be done that way and you will not miss out on anything other than it already being installed for you. All updates will work exactly the same.
Thank you!
How dare you and your 1hr+ tutorial! Don't you know we only have 2min attention spans! Unless something is this good.
Hahaha I really do need to work on making shorter videos. I'm glad it was informative enough for you to make it worth watching
@@StackingLayers Its GOLD! Thanks again.
This is great but unfortunately I'm using a Creality 4.2.7 board on an ancient CR-10 from 2018. How do I modify the firmware to work?
You'll need to find the settings for the board you have and then make and install the firmware. It's more or less the same process for all machines. If you have the atmega1284p chip on your board then this is likely the settings and config but do the research to be sure don't just start flashing without confirming the installed equipment.
github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config%2Fprinter-creality-cr10-2017.cfg
Thank you for the helpful video! However, my SKR Mini e3 V3 doesn't display anything on my LCD when I boot it up with the SD card, despite following your instructions. I noticed that the (klipper.bin) file in the video is only 28KB (and mine is only 35KB), which seems small compared to my previous Marlin firmware (about 220KB). Could this be a point of concern?
Marlon is substantially larger because the entire system is running on the mcu. With Klipper most of the system is running on the host soc (Raspberry Pi for example ) and the firmware on the mcu is very minimal and only what is required to be able to convert commands into motion and the likes.
For the LCD you will need to make sure it's configured correctly for the screen that you have keep in mind that touchscreens that were compatible with Marlin are not natively supported by Klipper, like the TFT35 screens that have a choice of touch mone or Marlin mode. Most of the interaction with clipper is through the web UI. For screen interface it's highly recommended to go to Klipperscreen if you want a touch interface otherwise use a simple non-touch screen like the btt mini 12864, as shown in this video, ruclips.net/video/7UAeiQlKXxw/видео.htmlsi=bv2GOOAyLSKOYwt9
I have the error of "unable to open config file /home/jshug/printer_data/config/printer.cfg
Not too sure where to go
46:14 is where I'm at in the process.
You need to create a file called printer.cfg and put the configuration for your machine in it. Here's a bunch of pre configured examples if your machine is there, then copy and paste contents to the new printer.cfg file.
github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/config
So if im running the Big Tree Tech 3.5' tft display do I need to make any major changes to make the screen work?
The standard TFT35 is not fully supported by klipper. You can run it in marlin mode for the basic functions, no touch. It's better to set up an HDMI touch screen and run KlipperScreen if you want a screen at the machine.
i have installed the mainsail 1.3.2 x64. the files printer.cfg and print_area_bed_mesh.cfg are missing. i have the raspberry pi 4 B.
You have to make those yourself. Here's the repo of examples. github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/config
Look for your machine and/or board you are using, then adjust as needed.
Hope you can lend a hand, so Im up to the part where we've installed putty, im able to log into, but the biqu doesnt work for me. After entering the password I just get denied. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 with an SKR Mini E3 V3.
With Raspberry Pi you are supposed to setup your user and password before installation when using the raspberry pi imager program. The default user is, pi. The default password is, raspberry.
I can't remember if ssh is active by default, but if you get in then use, sudo raspi-config and go to System Options to change the password.
Hello, I am configuring Klipper and do not see the file print_area_bed_mesh.cfg - Can you tell me where I can get a copy of this?
That's a custom .cfg file. Looks like it belongs to this project, github.com/Turge08/print_area_bed_mesh/tree/master
Since that hasn't been maintained for a long time you might want to look into KAMP for adaptive bed meshing github.com/kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging
Hello...I did the installation for an ender 3 v3 se on a raspberry board. But I have this error in klipper: section "filter" is not a valid config section. Could you help me what it could be? I am grateful in advance. Tks
You'll need to search your config for filter I would assume it's something that is out of place. I don't know of any functions that are called filter so it's likely something custom.
what do you do if you dont get the serial number i put the sd back in my computer and its now a .cur so it flashed but its not showing in putty so how do i get the number i need
If you type,
lsusb
do you see the board in that list? If not you may need to try a different usb cable. Not all have proper data pins connected. Some are for charging only.
so i get to the update part where you use mainsail which you have up and ready to go. i goto mainsail and i cant find how to get to the screen your already on. i have putty up and linked to ssh but mainsail nope and it wont let me access the ssh part. please help.
Have same moterboard but STM32GOBO
Yeah I've seen that some are shipping with that chip now.
your video helped me greatly but im still stuck on the issue ive been stuck at. when i run the "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*" code it says no such file directory, i would greatly appreciate if someone had some advice or an answer to my issue
There are a few things that could do this. A bad USB cable (not all are made for data either), a wrong setting in the firmware make config, or there's a few versions of Debian that caused an error reading serial by-id. To check if you have a bad Debian version run this command in terminal,
apt show udev
If your version is 247.3-7+deb11u2 you have the broken version. This will go into more detail on that. www.teamfdm.com/forums/topic/1892-beware-latest-klipper-update-breaks-symlink-to-mcu-on-usb-connected-devices/#comment-12246
@@StackingLayers thank you so much, yes im using that version of debian and have been practically pulling my hair out over the last two days trying to figure it out
Hi man! I have one question about the OS choice. I just downloaded the imager flash and nowadays we have a bunch of different options availables... I bought the BTT PI V1.2 and dont know what spec to choose on OS.
The BTT pi needs the cb1 image. The raspberry pi images are not compatible, it's a different chip set. This is the official bigtreetech image github.com/bigtreetech/CB1/releases/tag/V2.3.4
Great topic, thanks 👍
Can you please help me! My mcu is not being found when I get to 1:07:30 in the video I don’t have those 5 lines it only has 3 and I cannot find the mother board using a rpi4 and skr mini e3 v3
The amount of lines that show up with lsusb will very, don't be too worried about that. If the ls /dev/serial/by-id/* is not being found then perhaps the usb cord is not good.
Another though is make sure the firmware actually flashed, if you check the firmware.bin on the SD card after flashing, it will have changed to firmware.cur if it did not change then it did not flash.
when i try to get serial it says its marlin but i followed the tutorial exactly?
If it says marlin then the firmware did not flash. Make sure you are using an SD card that is formatted to fat32. It's best to use one that's 8GB or less
Hi I just ordered an skr e3v3 with this intended purpose and was curious about having to jump the 2 pins to make it usb powered. Are those red bits in the box with the board? Or are they sold separately? Do I even need those or can I just join the 2 pins with some solder?
They come with it. Never solder those pins. The USB power is for programming only. You have to use a regular 12V or 24v power supply, depending on your machine, to actually print.
When I'm on putty, it lets me type in the login (biqu), but immedietly after when it asks for my password, nothing happens. I type in biqu for the password but no characters appear and when I press enter, it takes a couple of seconds but it says access denied. Also if I leave it open for about a minute it'll telll me "remote side unexpectedly closed network connection". Any ideas as to why this is happening?
The password not showing any characters is normal. Make sure to type it in all lowercase. biqu then hit enter. And yes if you wait too long it will time out and auto disconnect.
I got a pi4 from a friend. It has an sd card with it, im not sure whats on it bu t know its not klipper. Whats the best way to wipe it and prepare it for klipper install? Many thanks.
Just use raspberry pi imager. It'll format the SD and set it up for you. Choose the raspberry pi 4 board then the mainsail os I show. Keep in mind that raspberry pi imager has gone through a UI update so things look a little different from my video now. Also the stuff about the CB1/BTT Pi can be skipped for raspberry pi.
this video is great! if there's an update for the os do i need to redo all of these steps?
Not normally. But sometimes a Klipper update will require that you update the controller board to have the newer firmware.
@@StackingLayers thanks for the quick reply! it’s the pi 1.2 that has an update.
If you are not having any issues, you are fine with doing the standard Debian uptates using this command,
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
If you choose to update the to the new image then yes you'll need to set some things up again, like the printer.cfg. It's best to make a backup of all that so you can just copy in after updating. The controller board will be fine as klipper firmware doesn't change with the host image.
Thank you so much!
Thats a perfect guide!!
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Do you need to worry about "Flashing Firmware" to the MCU if your printer comes with Klipper pre-installed?
Technically if it's working fine and you are happy with it then no you don't have to update it, unless there's a bug found and the update fixes a potential danger. Other reasons to update is for performance improvements. The down side of updates is there's always a small possibility of introducing a new bug, so it's recommend to wait a little and read up on how it's going for others before updating.
@StackingLayers I am more interested in remote monitoring/control than anything else. At the moment, I am only able to monitor my printer while in my home connected to the Wi-Fi. But if I should be out of the house, at the grocery store for example, then I can't monitor or control the printer.
This will give you that ability, ruclips.net/video/qnYwEGaMC0I/видео.htmlsi=4vAZo9pyheWL4XWh
@StackingLayers Thank you sir, that's exactly what I have been looking for.
thank you very much! Great tutorial

Just got a btt pi v1.2 and going to try this on my cr-10 v3 with an skr mini e3 v3 board. Any recommendations on how to pick and choose between presets for that vs and ender 3? I successfully flashed marlin 2.1.x bugfix but klipper seems like the way to go. Also it seems like I can’t use a pi camera with the btt pi. Is there any alternatives I can use or should I just get a real pi4b? Same goes for input shaping if I go with the btt pi am I stuck using btt input shapers or vice versa? Am I good to just use my stock cr-10 display with the btt pi/pi4b? if I do get an external display from btt would that run on a pi4b too? Many thanks this video is incredible!
With the BTT pi you can't use a raspberry pi camera, but you can use a usb webcam. All of the different accelerometers will work. The BTT or any of the other usb style accelerometers are the easiest to set up. The cr-10 screen will work with the skr mini you don't hook that to the btt pi, but for a better UI I recommend an HDMI touch screen. That will plug to the BTT pi an you would install the KlipperScreen service.
Thank you so much for the most complete tutorial ever. I have a small issue thought. Everything is set up and waorking on my ender 3 v2 with skar mini e3 v3, but I don't have BLTOUCH and it is expecting that so it doesnt home. How can I disable the BL touch?
In the printer.cfg file look for a section that has [BLtouch] remove or put a # in front of those lines to disable it. Also make sure that End-Stop pin in the stepper z part is an actual pin number and not virtual endstop z probe
@@StackingLayers as far as I can tell endstop pin is PC2. I entered that and now I can another error : Option 'position_endstop' in section 'stepper_z' must be specified

Hi!! As my rp2B has no wifi should I connect it to my computer via rj45 and acces through the IP adress?
You could directly connect that way if you want, or you can just connect to your network.
@@StackingLayers Okay I'll do that. Thanks!!
does that software allow you to access your printer over different internets
There are a few ways to get remote access safely. My preferred way is OctoEverywhere. I'm actually working on making a video for that.
Followed your video to a T, however I still am unable to access the BTT Pi via Wi-Fi. All Wi-Fi inputs are correct (SSID & PASSWORD). I have had to link via ethernet cable. Do you think there is an issue with the BBT Pi? Otherwise, your video is great. Very big help with setup. Thank you 😊😊
Would you recommend doing this out of the box or waiting a while then upgrading?
Personally I like to have the firmware flashed and configuration set up before I start to connect things.
i have been crying my eyes out for something like this look at this 2 times and the more i watch the more i feel like i understand. therefore yes i would like to see more. I have no i dea what im doing but this seems like a what i need to get stared. now i do have a question how do i add Idex files ?
i just checked what junk i have laying around in my stash of no longer used projects and a stupid thought came to mind, what if you use laptop/chromebook motherboard in place of pi board and bodge 2 arduino unos as the one mcu, one as x,y,e stepper brain, and the other one as heaters and z stepper. it in theory would have enough processing power to exist as a 3d printer even if single arduino could be too small to run all the io' s . but i presume mega is the smallest viable option so i probbaly better get 2nd hand ender board if i want to think of making a printer
but in general is split mcu even possible with klipper. i know it is stupid but it is almost midnight here
Amazing Tutorial!! Thanks and keep at it :)
😊 glad you liked it.
Hi,
It's a very good and informative video. I followed everything and installed Klipper and even the GUI on my Pi Touch screen. I'm using a Pi 3B. I installed the SKR MiniE3 on my Tevo Tornado which has a AC heat bed connected to SSR.Everything working well. But once the heatbed and nozzle temperature reaches required levels printing starts and continue but immediately hot end temperatue starts falling. Once it falls below Minimum Temperature 170 printer stops.(Print continues till then) Can you help me to sort this out. Extruder is E3D V6. Thermister Generic 3950. Power supply is 24V 8.5A.Thank you very much in advance.
That sounds like there's something wrong with the gcode from the slicer, or the start gcode has a command to stop heating. Look for M104 S0 and M140 S0 those turn off the hotend and bed. Also check that your slicer is in Klipper flavor if that's not available use Marlin flavor.
@@StackingLayers Thank you
Got it sorted out. Was using S3D as my slicer and that was the issue .Changed to Orcaslicer and now everything going well.
@cweerawarna1 nice to see you got it sorted.
excelente video , yo tenia ya precompilado el firmware a la impresora con un pc viejo.. para hacerlo con el cb1 tengo que volver a precompilar firmware? gracias
It is best to make the newest klipper firmware. That will ensure that everything is working well. If you look at the version of your current klipper firmware and it matches then you don't have to do it again.

Once firmware is flashed can I remove sd card from contol brd?
Yes.
