Just wanted to drop in and comment on my experience with the TronXY X5SA-400 with the V5 Chitu board. Graz, you successfully reprogrammed your stepper to be usable with Linear Advance! Your lines will look better than ever. This will disable StealthChop, thus allowing you to use Linear Advance feature. Use ground from PSU, and connect uart pin to one marked with red arrow. You can kind of live without that, especially if you aren't handy with a soldering iron.Ĭonnect to your E-stepper as per this guide. If you would also want to enable Linear Advance, you'll need Now connect your printer to Pi via USB, and reload host in the Klipper tab in the Octoprint. If you ever reconsider your life's choices, you can always reflash stock firmware the same way. You can build your own update.cbd, instructions are on top of the config file, follow with regard to 'Building and Flashing' section we skipped earlier. If you heard some beeps, and then your screen does not light up anymore - it's been installed! Getting Klipper onto the printerĬopy update.cbd onto SD card, insert it into your printer, reboot. Use this printer.cfg as your printer config. Other ARM-based computers are good as well - e.g NanoPi, BananaPi, etc.įollow this guide to get and install OctoPi, and follow this one up to 'Building and Flashing' section to get Klipper on your OctoPi. Getting a Klippy machine (Klipper host)įirst of all, you need a Raspberry Pi 2 or later you want to use as a Klipper/Octoprint machine. IDK, maybe that's a deal breaker for you, but controlling printer from WiFi is much more comfortable IMO. That includes speeds up to 300 mm/s (I've tested infill at 180, and it was pretty much flawless), proper linear advance, low vibration on high accelerations without relying on approximations like S-Curve, no lags on dense GCode files - it's nothing like Marlin or the stock firmware.Īlso, you won't be able to control your printer from it's screen anymore. You are in for a ride! What can you expect So, you've decided to upgrade you printer software-wise. ** obligatory 'your warranty in now void' disclaimer ** THIS GUIDE IS FOR CHITU V6 BOARDS ONLY
