- In this video I document my journey installing and calibrating Klipper on my Sovol SV06. Happy Printing!
If you want to install Klipper on your 3D printer, you would need to download the software and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Klipper is a firmware that runs on a microcontroller board and allows for advanced features and highly precise printing. Typically, you would need to flash the firmware onto the board using a computer connected to the printer through a USB cable. Once the firmware is installed, you can configure the settings and use Klipper with your favorite slicer software to create high-quality 3D prints. It is important to note that installing new firmware can be risky and may void your printer's warranty, so make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I just wanted to say thank you, I’ve clipped my sv06 a few months ago, and your video was the main reason it worked thank you for guiding us trough it! 👍🏼👍🏼 I always was a little bit scared of doing it, but you have me motivation / hope ✌🏼✌🏼
Great install and config video! I wish I'd found this video when I was struggling to configure Klipper on my previous printer before my SV06 Plus. Thanks for putting this together!
Great I'm glad you liked it. There will be an update video soon, as it appears that some of the klipper syntax has changed in regards to PID tuning. I will also be attaching all my klipper and prusa configs to my videos in the discription.
hi, once I install everything on pi imager and connect my board to power supply it doesn't connect to wifi. With default setup it does, but with this one (specific for 3d printer) it doesn't. That's a problem.
While I like the concept of this video, and cool that you got it to work, would have been REALLY helpful if you would have included your commands. Next time you make a video, make your font larger or just increase magnification.
The commands are all there in the video. I can see how a larger font would be helpful. I'll definitely make that change if and when I do another one of these type of videos in the future.
I’m going to go over my sv06 and klipper again tomorrow and maybe I can get macros to work. Did it twice now on my own(before I saw this video) and both time I get everything up and showing up and the macros worked U til I try to print and I get a “can’t open print file” as soon as I hash tag put the Macros line in printer.cfg the file works fine but all the macros are gone again
Make sure your virtual SD card path is correct
the jschuh git link is gone how do i find it ? i followed along and everything up to that point is good but no macros loaded
github.com/jschuh/klipper-macros
Thanks now im running klipper! And its very good. Can you share yoru slicer config?
I can do that tomorrow. I'm running some macros with it, so I will need to zip up a bunch of stuff for you. I'm using a much improved config now
@@room281tech8 thx, maybe do a video about this. If you have time.
@@room281tech8 Did this get posted somewhere?
@@psykix I'm working on it. I'll have something ready by Friday. I've been really busy, such is life. The good news though, I have been tuning my slicer profiles for Klipper and Marlin. I finally got the Klipper profile exactly where I want it for PETG. I came to realization that one of the biggest issues I had was the parts cooling. Also since this video was posted, I am using a completely different printer.cfg which is much more calibrated than the spinixguy config. So expect an Update with macros, prusa slicer config bundle, and my config files.
let us know if it got poster!

I'd buy an SV06+ and install Klipper, but things are happening quickly in the competitive 3D printer market and I think we're close to an SV08 and hopefully SV08+ that's basically an SV06 with better part cooling and Klipper, and maybe a couple of other improvements. It's great that Klipper can be added to existing 3D printers but I'm getting lazy in my old age. 🙂
In one of my videos, I posted a link to a github page that does allow you to use the sv06+ touchscreen with klipper.
Maybe de Sv08 is a Bambulab clone xD
@@fabianluethi03 - A Bambu clone, like Creality or Qidi did?
PS - I stopped waiting for The Next Great New Thing and bought a Neptune 4 Pro last night. Gotta jump onboard sometime and there's always something better coming soon.
@@Liberty4Ever yes, thats what i tought. I did the same thing last december with the SV06. You will allways find a better printer if you want to.
@@fabianluethi03 - The SV06 was a good time to buy a 3D printer. It's a very capable printer with a lot of value for the money. If the SV07 was the SV06 with Klipper and extrusion/cooling to keep up with the faster speed, I'd have bought it instead of the Neptune 4 Pro. If I had an SV06, I'd be very inclined to upgrade it to Klipper, even with the stock extrusion and cooling because I don't really need more speed. I want better print quality and a better web based interface.
Just so you're aware, your links got cut off in the description and don't work anymore!
Thanks for letting me know. I'll get it sorted
helpful video trying to configure git and trying to follow script on screen but too blurred any chance you could post your git script I know the credentials will different for myself ...thanks
It has been a minute since I made this video. If you could put a timestamp to the part you're having issues with, I may be able to assist. I am planning on making a better version of this video in the future that is much easier to view. I also have all my configs in a hyperlink in the description.
Hi can you reply here your bed mesh config on cfg my mesh fails during calibration, i cant acces to it in your links
I'll get you a link later today. I have a newer config/macro setup that I'm using now.

Thanks man, finally i could config mines before see youre reply, i take a look at your cfg im going ro put twist compensation, and what about PA i dont see anything at your extruder
Great tutorial, thank you! Would this work for the Sv06 Plus if I get the config file from bassamanator?
In theory this should work on any printer if you have the firmware and the printer config file. Bassamanator does good work. I did see an article awhile back about turning the sv06+ touchscreen into a klipper touchscreen which I thought was cool. You may want to look into that extra cool factor😁

Thank you!
Was wondering if you could send me link to Prusa Slicer Config. Link is directing me to Klipper Config with Macros. Thanks, and great video.
I'll take a look at the description but here is the link: drive.google.com/file/d/1EguMw5qWq1EuAa8bA83RkL-wJvDyUFhg/view?usp=drive_link
How you conect the RPI on the Sovol Board?
I just used a 10ft micro USB cable. I plugged one end into the RPI 2.0 ports and then micro USB into the main board. Make sure your main board has been flashed first though. Then after its connected change the serial connection under the MCU section of your config to reflect your setup. That step is in the video.
@@room281tech8 ok, ty!
@@Gabs_Labs just make sure that its USB cable that can xfer data. Some cables are only good for charging devices
How do you align the z axis? I tried using cans, using the inductive sensor.Always get very bad first layer even with tight z-offset. Only by changing the bi-linear meh to UBL it can make somewhat decent first layer. I hope is i go klipper it help me with this problems.
klipper is a much less user friendly out of the box than the stock firmware. make sure you can get a consistently good first layer before adding klipper to the mix. As for your issues, bed temp, bed level, z offset, filament temp all can affect your first layer. focus on getting those dialed in first. Perhaps posting some pics of your issue to a 3d printer group may be advantageous. i know FB has a fairly good sovol group.
I can make video on how I calibrate my sovol with the stock firmware. Would that help? I can't really tech your issue out but I can make a procedure video.
@@room281tech8 as the z alignment from sovol inst good its very hard to do a proper z alignment, my firstlayer always get good result in the right side, but the left the filament get very sparse as the offset was too high.
@@room281tech8 would be nice! I'm using hillsoftware firmware tha has ubl meshing, becouse it has 100 points measure and help me get a better firstlayer. The 25 points meshing isn't working, in the original firmware and the bilinear from hillsoftware, I did alot of testing printing more than 50 squares 100x100x 0.2mm. I'm getting mad with this. My last attempt will be silicone hose moving.
@@Gabs_Labs So from a fresh power-on, if I perform an Auto-home and check my z offset, my gap between the nozzle and bed usually will usually be too large. If I adjust my z offset to the correct position and perform a level bed function, and then perform auto-home after the bed level, my z offset changes.
At that point I adjust my z offset one more time and then perform another level bed function. This time my z offset will be exactly where I last set it.
The key is to get the z offset to return to the same spot, with the same offset after every level bed function. You want to look for repeatability. We don't want that offset changing after a bed level. Perhaps try this process to make sure your offset isn't changing.
I'm not familiar with your firmware but this corrected the issue on the stock printer
Interesting video, but the sound is a bit too loud - I can still hear some words ;-)
I really do need to remake this video. I have some raspberry pi alternatives that I have been testing as home theater PCs pushing out HD video with 2GB of ram that seem to have plenty of horsepower to push klipper.
Too complicated for very little gain, I am sticking with the standard firmware which does everything I want it to do, all without any tweeking 😁
There is nothing wrong with the marlin firmware but just as you perceived this as too complicated, I found the stock firmware underwhelming. Klipper offers many advantages over stock marlin. It really depends on your goal and what you use it for.
no clue what that black screen you typed in, thanks for the details . video is useless
Yes, I should of increased the font size. Watch it on a computer with a normal sized screen, then it won't be so useless.
@@room281tech8 i think the idiot just doesnt know what a terminal is
Video is very helpful actually. Wish it was 1080P+ but I was able to make out the commands or use the links to the documentation this video is derived from.
