You are easily one of my favorite 3D printer channels! Not only do you somehow make videos that come out just in time for me to do upgrades, but you actually put the effort in to make your videos flow nicely. I can't tell you how often I see a 30+ min long video that could have easily been 10 minutes with some basic editing.
Thank you for making helpful content that is engaging and entertaining!
😊 hey @JRWJWV ! this was an incredibly pleasant comment to read! thank you so much for this, its comments like this one that give me the motivation to keep putting out videos, thank you😊
Yeah I agree, the video was really well paced and the information given was very useful for starters like me.
😊 there is always a super learned person who is always there to guide you. Thank you. I have ender s1 pro. And I am super confident that if I watch your RUclips videos, I will be a master of 3d printing 🎉
Hey, there Ankit! thank you for your continued support for my tiny channel and your kind comments, I'm very happy you find value in my videos! 🙏
The ender 3 especially the s1 is a perfect platform to really master the basic concepts of 3d printing. I know some people talk crap on the ender 3, but I have mine so dialed in it's insane and it gave me such a good platform to springboard off to other models of printers now. The ender 3 will always be great
You explain things very well. It helps alot
Another amazing video!! very informative, and entertaining!! love it
Thank you 😊
@@z-made Your welcome! 😊
Super good clip! Thank you very much
Awesome tutorial dude!
Tanks Razor Burn! glad to see you back😊
The sandwich reference is real lol next time use it fully, your videos have helped me get my ender 3 s1 printing at 120mm flat and these videos are really helpful I've been scared to try that filament change due to seeing so much issues with m600 so thank you for that. Keep the info coming and maybe i can help in anyway also.
Hey there Trip Drip, first of all, thank you, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and that I was able to help, and second, thanks for offering to help, do you have some ideas?
@@z-made Thanks for the great content.
Great video, as usual. You never stop surprising me on your videos. Great content. Keep up the great work. I know you will. :)
Thank you so much for your continued support Robert, I really appreciate your kind comments 😊
amazing work man, keep it up. I just got a Voron 2.4 R2 & this video help me out for the filament change. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for your kind comment, Miguel! I'm happy you found value in my video 😊
The KlipperSettingsPlugin was the "missing link" of the plugins I needed! I was looking for some way of setting Pressure Advance Factor per material and combining it with Materials Settings plugin was the smoothest way to do that!
agreed, when I made this video there wasn't a klipper settings plugin
Heads up! Klipper settings plugin is in the marketplace now!
Hey Enrique, thanks 😊
Very useful, I have been having a hard time understanding how to integrate my sonic pad with my S1.
One of the first things I found is Klipper does not understand G29 to to bed meshing. That was the first macro I created. did a little comment # Marlin Compatibility # in my printer.cfg file to add GCode that Marlin knows, but Klipper doesn't :) I was able to find both plugins in Cura Marketplace.. I'd previously used Octoprint so remote control was an absolute must for me when I moved to Klipper.
I found letting Klipper do most of the advanced features, like using Klippers firmware retraction, pressure advance, input shaping, and not having Cura push these settings across not only made slicing quicker, and created smaller GCODE files, but also resulted in better prints as the optimised settings in the actual firmware took over.
This is a huge advantage with Klipper over Marlin as it is a lot easier, using an outboard device (such as a Raspberry Pi) to do all the processing instead of it all being hardcoded and running on the printer MCU. I know Octoprint does some GCode processing and with plugins can simplify the code Marlin has to process, but Klipper just takes this to the next level as it is baked into the firmware
thanks for the lesson ;) i hope to see more about cura and clipper. I prefer to use a micrometer, the pressure you exert on the wheel is never the same
Wow thank you. I got cura so dialed in with my ender3 i loved it. Now that ive moved up with a voron and klipper everyone recommends superslicer a the best. While it is good, i hoestly just like cura so much more. It feels so much easier to use than superslicer so thank you for sharing this cause im making the move home and going back to cura
Hey Mr. Thermistor, I'm very happy you got some value from this video, thank you for the comment😊
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

I just started using prusaslicer 2.6
It can connect directly to moonraker and start prints … Awsome !!
Your videos are really awesome!
Can you please make a video about Klipper + PrusaSlicer (or SuperSlicer)?
Hey, there Photelegy! first of all, thank you for the kind comment! second yes I can, it might take me some time though, I'm so happy I was able to provide you with some value🙏
@@z-made Your welcome.
And I'm really looking forward to this 👍🏻
New subscriber after watching this. Really well done and explanations were very well done and easy to under stand. I just got a BTT Pad 7 and have it all hooked up and was searching youtube for exactly this and found yours. The Klipper plug-in is now in the marketplace and easy to find. Any chance you might beable to do a video about the different Klipper setting and what they do and how to adjust them for better speeds and print quality? I'm having a hell of a time getting mine to come out decent. Thanks again and keep up the great content.------- Johnny.
You're a legend, thank you for making such engaging and helpful content. 10/10
Thank you for your wonderful comment! I'm happy I was able to provide you with some value!
Like this video very much. It opens the eyes for different setup. I use Cura on RPI400 where I save stl files over Samba service remotely from other PC having Fusion.360. From RPI400 I send GCODE to Octoprint comnected to one of many printers in my small farm. I am looking for architecture where I can use Sonic pad with the clipper instead of each printer dedicated RPIs but still having ease of slicing all the job by Cura.
Hey Marcin, that sounds really cool, what printers are you using on your farm if you don't mind me asking?
@@z-made sure I dont. Two CR10 smart + Two Ender6. Sonic pad has 4 USBs? Right?
@@soeft Yes it does, it can support up to 4 printers at once, its actually a pretty awesome device, and I'm sure it will make your life easier, good luck man
cura works good with klipper right off the break. just like anything else you can tickle it to squeak out more performance the same way you can do with marlin
Great, thanks for sharing 👍
awesome videos!
you should post a link to the profiles you are using
Hey, Guilherme, I'm not sure which profiles you refer to, material profiles, printer profiles, quality profiles, or something else?
@@z-made All of them!! I run with one profile on all 3 of my S1 Pro's for all filament and heat settings. Maybe I need more? If I run ABS i turn fan off and up the temp, but everything else is the same. Could it be better? I don't know. Seeing what others run might help me.
I'm sure you can use acceleratorion control with klipper!
For the macros can they be placed anywhere? Or does it have to be placed in a certain line
Thanks bro
And also I've been playing around with prusa if you ever wanna give the profile a try there you may like the customization that's involved alooooot more than cura including the new pursaslicer beta 6 includes klipper gcode flavor.
That's good to know! ill look into it, thanks😊
@@z-made do itttt well worth it and with the stuff you do would make work flow way easier.
Thanks😊
Hello, what version of cure are you using, and why when you place the mouse on an option, an image appears showing what it is going to do and I only have text.
Great Video! Can you do with Prusa Slicer too.
Klipper Settings plugin is in the Cura marketplace now
When you set up your printer in Cura, what do you select for G-code flavor? It doesn't have Klipper in the menu.
Hey scootermagavin12, I find it best to choose Marlin as the G-code flavor, awesome name by the way!
Hi there! You are great!!!!
I have a Ender3 S1 Pro and changed to SonicPad... but I´m suffering to adjust the bed leveling compensation provided by Klipper in my old E3S1... I´ll try to install this pluging and use your tips...I´ll appreciate any tutorial about it... I saw so many issues with E3S1 and Sonicpad...regards
I like the video, well explained. How can I balance acceleration and speed to get the most out of klipper? I’m using an Ender 3s1 Pro and a S1 plus, both connected to sonic pad.
I was getting better quality prints using SoftFever now renamed to Orca Slicer plus seems a lot simpler than cura. Could you make a video on calibration with klipper start to finish? I have all steps diaper in, but kind of complicated for rest and I am wondering order as well. My print in place models always come out crappy but outside looks fine. Need to get it dialed in.
I will check it out
@@z-made thanks. On calibration I'm also not sure what to configure in Slicer vs klipper. Watched loads of videos to no avail. Appreciate your videos and hope you break tasks down.
What G-Code flavor did you set in Cura? i dont see klipper in the choices.
Hi I followed the link you put up for extra mico trying to add the filiment change but it won't save and reset sowing about the setting up bltunch what can I do sorry am a bit new to this 😅
Hey there Fayying, Welcome 😊, so just a few questions, I hope I can help you, what API are you using?, are you sure you copied the right macro, and where in your printer config file did you paste the copied macro? it could be that you may have passed the macro inside the macro for your bl touch and the klipper can't figure out what happened, please let me know, I hope I can help you,
got a new ender 5 s1, sonic pad. ender by itself it prints fine. after adding sonic pad, it prints - but. Now any STL file that has been changed like scaling in cura won't print. also multiple items in one file doesn't print also. but everything worked fine, before sonic pad. Any ideas?
Nothing wrong with using curas acceleration control. You can’t customize perimeter acceleration in klipper. The acceleration setting in klipper is just for the max limits.
Klipper prints a LOT slower than Cura for some reason. In Cura I specifically set the print speed at 120mm/s but Klipper prints at 60, similar problems with initial layers; I set them to 60 but Klipper starts at 20, then 40 for a bit.
Eventually after a few layers it does get up to the 120 that I originally set, but I just wonder what initial settings mess with the first layers that much.
Does anyone have any ideas?
first layers have separate settings, also for speed, cuz it is meant to be printed slower being the "foundation" to the entire object
Bro it took you 3 minutes to get to the point!
Hey John, I appreciate your input
I haven't watched the entire video yet, and I do appreciate the fact that you made this tutorial, however, in the future when you do videos like this please try to eliminate all fof the opening dialog and just start teaching. The first 2:30+ of the video isn't necessary. Too many aspiring RUclipsrs are following the failed formula of television media, which includes long introductions, which really are just filler to lower production costs for studios. One of the best ways to grow an audience is to get to the information immediately. Show people what your made of before they have a chance to click to the next video. I hope you take this advice in the spirit that it's offered.
Hey NotOfThisWorld567, thank you for the advice, I'm kind of new at youtube, and just getting the hang of it, thanks for the tip
seriously stop pointing with your fingers
Wow only in America , a third your video is intro and bluster about all the things you might be talking about, just get to the point !!!
Thanks for the feedback, Michael
guess this is a dead link
9 minutes of looking at a closeup of your head🙄 Not picking on you but the video would be vastly better if you spent more time showing the actual screen during the settings adjustments, not impersonating Max Headroom with 10,000 cuts. Also you never specified which gcode flavor to replace Marlin with.
yeah just grab here slap it in, 6mins in with 3mins left here's the meat of the video.......
all mouth and no action
okay too much talk, not enough visual information for beginners you don't know where in cura or clipper these options can be found. So a thumbs down for me
Did you watch the video? The same one that shows cura screenshots and klipper config?
This is a example of somebody who talk talk talk but say almost nothing.... useful information can be condensed to one minute video.
sounds like you liked my video😅
This video is a mess. You literally show someone enabling settings in Cura and then say that you should NOT enable those settings. What the hell kind of teaching approach is that? Needlessly confusing.
thanks for the constructive criticism
