One part that was left out of the edit by mistake is how to reverse a stepper direction. You don't want to edit the linked files such as 'steppers.cfg', so instead you copy any lines you need to change to your main configuration file and change them there, as this will take preference. For example, to reverse X I copied: [stepper_x] dir_pin: !PF1 and then changed it to: (exclamation mark removed) [stepper_x] dir_pin: PF1

Hrm, I've been wondering. Is the near million stepper steps across all attached stepper motors or per motor? I'm asking because the serial connection between the Pi and the control board is an emulated USB serial link which tend to not even get close to the 1.5-2Mbps a full hardware link can achieve and if the proposed step count is per motor, you wouldn't even be able to get a fraction of the maximum over a serial link. Are we at a point where if we have Computer(Pi in this case)+Controller, we are starting to need to look into higher bandwidth reliable connectivity between the two?

A support for toolboard with integrated accelerometer will do your century. Planning to do a interchangeable electronics support to "easily" switch electronics in order to try RPi+SKR and Rpi+Duet (Klipper and RRF) mainly for the fun of learning it. And that's your fault, because of you fantastic job on VCore/Klipper. About Michael Law: for me is a reference. A few months ago I done my first ever build of a Spanish kit not so good i3 clone, starting from absolute zero. I learn out to configure and compile Marlin for a SKR 1.4 also from complete zero thanks to the amazing Michael's teaching videos.

However, since klipper supports multiple MCU's, you could just find a tiny control board with a free SPI bus and a capable MCU and run a USB wire + power to your carriage :)

There's a timelapse plugin for Moonraker, but it's not as advanced as Octolapse. You can use Octoprint instead of you prefer, it's just significantly less responsive and uses more system resources, but you can use all the plugins. I'd recommend giving the Fluidd / Moonraker / Klipper combo a go first though.

the big advantage klipper has is automating or streamlining all of the manual tuning and configuration that goes into a 3d printer, need to work out the best PID settings for your heater and bed, need to work out your bl touch offset & z heigh offset, all can be semi-automated in klipper with a single command. want to stay on the latest version of marlin? all the config occurs outside of the marlin binary in klipper no need to merge changes to update. my only gripe with klipper is their obsession with changing a bit too much from the norm, klipper bl touch offset is how much higher is the nozzle (eg z= -0.54) while marlin uses (z= 0.54), klippers recent removal of rotation distance for gear ratios and teeth, which is a good thing itself and better than the old way which was just done due to limited processing power on 8bit mcus but removing of that config setting just breaks existing configs for those who didn't care about that
@miklschmidt
3 жыл бұрын
With regards to z-offset it's the other way around. I think we're all kind of biased here to whatever we're used to. I find klippers way much more sensible, your z_offset is the z_position your probe triggers at. So if it triggers 1mm before the nozzle, z_offset: 1. Seems logical to be, but YMMV :) I believe mm_per_step is still just deprecated, isn't it? But yes, if you update, be sure to read the configuration changes, because klipper moves fast. That's a big reason i like it though. I get features today that Duet people only dream of tomorrow, and i gotta say it's been very reliable for me for the past 1,5-2 years even running on master :)

I have busted my ass to understand marlin enough to try and get my simple machines dialed in to find that it is now the new "DOS" and if I want to get a machine anywhere near professional grade i need to spend more and learn a whole new better OS that has to have whole new better hardware. Good luck chasing dragons gentlemen This build seems to me to be an effort to break the benchy speed record. I have zero need for speed. I just do not see the benefit to justify the expense. So I will stick with my H Bots and spend my money on filament.

I'm trying to justify it to myself (and my wife!). For me, building and tinkering with 3D printers is as much as a hobby as actually using them. So, the question is, should I sell my SKGO to help fund the cost of the Rat Rig? Or should I keep it at least until the Rat Rig is up & running? What do you reckon?

You are not far off a fully automated system there ! Just need to sort out the auto filament loading . Wouldn't it be nice to be able to download a file , slice and send it to your printer from your phone and have it waiting for you when you get home . So with klipper being the firmware on the pi do you still run Raspbian? Being able to use the GPIO ports on the pi at the same time would be nice - maybe for smoke / fire detection .

A modified version of raspbian lite, yes. You can use the Pi as additional MCU with klipper as well if you want.

Can you run a pair of these printers at the same time using the fluidd interface? I presume they would have different IP addresses on your home network, so use two tabs of fluidd in the browser?

Hey Michael. Your wiring have a serious issue : when dealing with AC current, you want to shut off both phase and neutral. In other words you want two solid state relays or the connexion is not off and you still have current connected to the bed. That might be dangerous.

I agree that would be more thorough. However it's not the standard adopted for 3D printing for whatever reason. This includes any off the shelf machine I've seen with an AC bed or any upgrade kit.

id love to have a v core 3 but for that price no way, much rather over time build it. so with that in mind. is it possible to take lets say an ender 3 or sovol sv01 and use its parts to help reduce the cost of getting the vcore? im aware im gonna need to buy some motors, gonna need to get a new main board and their bed but is this doable?

OK, the lack of an honorable mention for touch screens means I need to acquire a standard LCD for the Minion like is on my Ender 3. It would seem a BTT would be overkill for a 180x180 Cartesian. I can run 150mm/s on an MKS w/ my Ender so maybe I'll stick with that as I know how Klipper behaves on it. Last I checked, fluidd doesn't support plugins so I'll be sticking w/ Octoprint for now. Your videos are always well produced and thought out. Great job.

Once all setup and tuned you have to attempt the #speedboat on this machine just for a laugh. Of course as all ways include the high quality settings and prints and compare to your other machines, but the speedboat will be very fun addition and its own seperate video. Maybe a few speedboats on some of your other machines to compare just for fun as well nothing to serious.

Thank you Michael, very nice. Now we need a budget version. Would you consider doing a video on 3 motor Z axis using Marlin's G34 Auto Z Leveling?. Some of us are on a budget and a BTT Octopus or Fysetc Spider with 8 drivers are less expensive to buy than a BIGTREETECH SKR PRO V1.2. Adding a third Z axis to my existing CoreXY printer is way less expensive than buying a complete Voron or Rat Rig. Using Marlin means only adding a control board, 2 more drivers, a stepper motor, a lead screw and nut and some printed parts and wiring. I have all the rest. You already have all the hardware and electronics necessary, just show us how to do it in Marlin? Thank you very much for your zeal and fantastic teaching.

Marlin is the T-800, Klipper is the Rev-9 - only downside is it's not exactly user friendly, there are obvious complexities to using it but it shouldn't be too much for any experienced 3d printer veteran.
