Installing Klipper with Linux Laptop.

[wintry yew]

yrd

yes

[acoustic oyster]

k

[wintry yew]

dont forget to do esteps

called rotational distance in klipper

[acoustic oyster]

never did that

[wintry yew]

well

do it

[acoustic oyster]

i will try it

its calibration for extruder right?

[wintry yew]

si

https://www.klipper3d.org/Rotation_Distance.html

do calibrating rotation distance on extruders part

its most likely around correct already but you just want to make it good

[acoustic oyster]

trying to make my bed flat now

so for z offset im putting Z to 0 and change the z offset?

[wintry yew]

for z offset you do probe_calibrate

and make it touch the nozzle

make the nozzle touch the paper

i mean

[acoustic oyster]

okay did that

i hope i did it right

the guide says G34 is Z allign but the command isnt working?

[wintry yew]

z align?

ohhh

yeah jst ignore that

he has extra macro;s including mechanical gantry alignment

like stock sovol auto z align

and its named g34 probably

normal klipper doesnt have that so you cant call it

you can set it up if you want, but i would just manually level

or assume its correct cuz u didnt touch it

[acoustic oyster]

how do i z allign otherwise then?

[wintry yew]

manually

or add the macro

how often do you z align lol

its like a once in two weeks thing for me if i print alot

[acoustic oyster]

put cans below it and let it move down?

[acoustic oyster]

yeah but its unlevelled left right in mesh rn

[wintry yew]

yyeah or print the little tower objects

[acoustic oyster]

i reinstalled the gantry

[wintry yew]

you can add the macro if you want

its not that hard

[acoustic oyster]

you would have to guide me xD

[wintry yew]

https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/tree/master/cfgs

go here, downoad mechanical gantry calibration.cfg

add that to the folder where printer.cfg is

and add [include MECHANICAL_GANTRY_CALIBRATION.cfg] in printer.cfg

[acoustic oyster]

that easy?

[wintry yew]

yep

[acoustic oyster]

oh ok

[wintry yew]

you might want to keep your hand on the emergency stop button the first time

or lower the defaul current a tad

[acoustic oyster]

what could go wrong?

[wintry yew]

not much

the worst ive had is klipper reports an error, but its somewhat aligned(i always manually check after lol)

oh or the leadscrew might pop out of the coupler. which can then just be reseated with an allen key

[acoustic oyster]

maybe im dumb but i dont know how to download it xD

[wintry yew]

i forgot what my defauly current is

right click, save linked whatever your browser says

my browser is in dutch lel

you can also just open it and copy paste

[acoustic oyster]

funny is that dutch somehow has some words that are a bit like german

[wintry yew]

its a very comparable language

[acoustic oyster]

xD

okay got it

never had to download something this way O.O

[wintry yew]

sometimes github gives a download option, sometimes it doesnt

im not too sure why\

[acoustic oyster]

i already told that github is strange

[delicate arch]

Just do git clone

[wintry yew]

that also works, but if you dont want the whole repo

[delicate arch]

Although then you need git installed ect

[wintry yew]

exactly

[delicate arch]

You can clone single file

[wintry yew]

oh right

[acoustic oyster]

at the beginning?

[wintry yew]

ye

[acoustic oyster]

so below inclure macros ig

[wintry yew]

ye

[acoustic oyster]

getting an error

[wintry yew]

you can also copy paste inside macros.cfg if u want

[acoustic oyster]

File contains no section headers.
file: '/home/minipc/printer_1_data/config/MECHANICAL_GANTRY_CALIBRATION.cfg', line: 8
'<!DOCTYPE html>\n'

Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART"
command to reload the config and restart the host software.
Printer is halted

[wintry yew]

oh you downloaded the entire page lmfao

just copy paste it

[acoustic oyster]

huh xD

[wintry yew]

from git to cfg

[acoustic oyster]

so edit the config i have downloaded wrong?

and copy pase that into it?

worked

[delicate arch]

Bro copies the html

You only copy raw data

[acoustic oyster]

actually i have just did what eternal sayed

idk i dont like github xD

[delicate arch]

1% code 99% comments lol

[delicate arch]

I love it

kinda bias since I use it for git

But still

[acoustic oyster]

hm

[wintry yew]

whats the range

[acoustic oyster]

tried to tighten the bed screws, i will tell you after its probed again.

0.49

[wintry yew]

ooh

thats not great lol

is it better or worse after tightening lol

[acoustic oyster]

better by 0.02

xD

[wintry yew]

its probably not the gantry but double checking isnt a bad idea

it might be a mix of x twist and jsut warped bed

some painters masking tape can probably get it flat

[acoustic oyster]

okay

i will try that

but anyways... isnt it correcting that normally?

[wintry yew]

probably

.4 isnt a great range tho

its the same as it was before so it should be fine

[acoustic oyster]

moving the gantry changed much btw

that was before

[wintry yew]

looks like in improvement ahaha

but yeah

you just have a way to visualize it now

[acoustic oyster]

tightened screws againg now its .445

[wintry yew]

stop tightening it too much lolk

[acoustic oyster]

i cant do more anyways

my tool would break

do i have to change something in prusaslicer ?

[wintry yew]

for what?

[acoustic oyster]

idk

because im using klipper

[wintry yew]

oh you mean starting gcode

probably just have to chagne m420 s1

to be

BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=<name>

name is usually just default

[acoustic oyster]

could it be that my E-Steps are perfeftly calibrated already?

[wintry yew]

could be yeah

[acoustic oyster]

i think it is then

named the bed mesh B1 in mainsail

[wintry yew]

thats fine

[acoustic oyster]

so thats right?

[wintry yew]

u can do a start print macro later

[acoustic oyster]

i have extruded 100mm and 20mm are left from 120mm so i think esteps are fine

[acoustic oyster]

what do you mean ?

[wintry yew]

this is my starting gcode

print start is a macro in klipper

that the slicer then calls

and then klipper does whatever i specify in that macro

its not necesarry though unless you wanna do computational stuff

[acoustic oyster]

like what?

anyways, iam ready to print now?? i would like to do a calibration cube, so im slicing it with prusa slicer and how do i start the print then?

oh i think i found it out

i square corner velocitiy in Mainsail jerk?

[wintry yew]

Yeah

But its different calc

Just leave it at5

[wintry yew]

You upload the file, and start the print

U can also configure ps to send it to the printer automatically

[acoustic oyster]

yeah figured that out

thats good enough for me actually

[wintry yew]

Setting up ps to auto send if u want takes like 2 minutes

What is your stealthchop value set to in driver section of config?

[acoustic oyster]

uhm

stealthchop treshold is 0

it sounds sooo strange xD but i like it

is it bad?

[wintry yew]

No you either want 0 for off or 999999 for om

On*

If you want quiet you go 99999

[acoustic oyster]

okay

is it slower ?

with on

[wintry yew]

Less torque and less dimensional accuracy with stealthchop on

[acoustic oyster]

okay i will leave it off

i like those sounds

[wintry yew]

Same haha

[acoustic oyster]

the printer is moving so much better now

way smoother

im also reaching 120mms

maybe i can go higher now?

why is my fan off

auto cooling was disabled somehow

[wintry yew]

flow will be limited

[acoustic oyster]

oh right

im trying 150mms anyways

lets see what happens

wanna know how it sounds like xD

[wintry yew]

if u wanna find the limit install the test speed macro

u can make it speed around

[acoustic oyster]

oh right

trying 4k accel now also

[wintry yew]

should be fine, just expect ringing

[acoustic oyster]

yeah

[wintry yew]

you can get an adxl now and setup shaper properly too

[acoustic oyster]

whats adxl?

[wintry yew]

accelorometer

[acoustic oyster]

oh

its so cool that i can run klipper with my old laptop xD

its like 3% CPU usage while printing

[wintry yew]

klipper isnt that heavy, this is my orange pi 3

[acoustic oyster]

cool

[wintry yew]

its usually fairly lightweight untill u get webcams

[acoustic oyster]

i want to

if i can

i think my laptop is a bit faster than a raspberry so it should work

performance wise

[wintry yew]

just need to mount it and plug it in

ofcourse

[acoustic oyster]

do i need a specific cam?

[wintry yew]

not really

i use a cheap logitech usb webcam

[acoustic oyster]

i have got a cheap trust webcam

[wintry yew]

https://www.printables.com/model/353893-logitech-c270-mount-sovol-sv-06 like this

[acoustic oyster]

i could try it

[wintry yew]

should work

did you install crowsnest with kiauh?

[acoustic oyster]

no

i have no USB ports left on my laptop xD i hope it works with USB hub too?

[wintry yew]

it should yeah

what the hell u got plugged in

[acoustic oyster]

it just has 3 ports

(mouse, keeb) wifi stick and printer

Top layers arent that good but its because of my Prusa settings ig

[wintry yew]

probably

[acoustic oyster]

ironing would solve that

but there is not much ringing actually

its 4k accel

[wintry yew]

there is

i can see it on the pic

lol

[acoustic oyster]

yeah but not much

[wintry yew]

look at the extra x's

i mean it could be worse

but thats pretty bad

[acoustic oyster]

yeah it was worse before with 3k accel

[wintry yew]

Y is probably worse

[acoustic oyster]

a bit yes

i will stay with 3k accel

i might try to install klipper on the raspberry if i will get one

so i can remember how it works

[acoustic oyster]

i need that?

[wintry yew]

si

well you dont need it

but just get it

[acoustic oyster]

ok

it worked before but now somehow that happens

bed_mesh: Unknown profile []

[wintry yew]

did the profile save lol

[acoustic oyster]

yes

[wintry yew]

[acoustic oyster]

idk i will just restart and bed mesh again

idk but its not working anymore

its not finding the mesh

[wintry yew]

describe to me

the steps u takin

[acoustic oyster]

i changed nothing actually

trying to start a print

[wintry yew]

show me your mesh in klipper

on mainsail

[acoustic oyster]

made a new mesh and called it default (changed that in prusaslicer too) but that didnt help too

[wintry yew]

did you save config?

after making the mesh

also

[acoustic oyster]

yes

[wintry yew]

no < >

[acoustic oyster]

?

[wintry yew]

just

default

not <default>

[acoustic oyster]

oh why did that work before? xD

lets see if its working now

ok seems like it is...

[wintry yew]

goodie

[acoustic oyster]

is it possible that prusaslicer didnt save it?

[wintry yew]

could be

idk

[unkempt coral]

Did you save and restart after generating the mesh

[acoustic oyster]

yes, but its working now again.

i would rly like to setup my webcam but i dont even know how to let the webcam capture the printer... there is no mount and the webcam has nothing like a screw

its just on a standing feet
