Great Video!
Hi, how can i download your version of siemens ??
@@AbdelrhmanAdel-gh7ff this is a licensed version of Sinutrain. Nothing special, just a paid version.
thanks, I think im lost, the light strip must be 24v?
@@armandohernandez6634 the one I'm using is 24v. You can use 5v but the wiring will be different. If you watch my GPIO but were afraid to ask video, I break down some of the GPIO pins on the board. If you just tap into the 5v and ground pins, you can use 5v lighting without the need for the relay. I'm just not sure if you'll be able to toggle the pin without installing Klipper
how td o you make and install the binary files? you did not show us how that was done... no select this in the sub menu in the makeconfig menu
@@rent2ownnz I show how to update the Klipper version for Linux. If you need instructions on updating the binary, I have almost a dozen videos that cover that exact subject. This video makes the assumption that the user already knows how to do that.
i must be losing my mind but, i put the sd card into my printer and it doesnt update firmware, just boots as normal
@@WNxSect is the binary file formatted and named correctly? On a lot of newer machines, having the screen connected causes issues.
nevermind im just dumb apparently, got it. now to figure out how to turn off the led and make it load and unload, says macro not found
@@WNxSect if you're using my cfg files, there should be two sections that you can switch between depending on the device you're using
@@TheFeralEngineer just to confirm, im using the neptune 3 plus config file from github
@@TheFeralEngineer to confirm, i am using the neptune 3 plus config from your github page, im new to this stuff but slowly figuring it out. Thanks for your response, your videos are amazing.
Thanks for the video ... could confirm if it fits 2 kg filament spools?
Question, am I able to print out the photo into a smaller ratio, like say instead of it being printed a full 4x6, I can crop it to a 3x6?
yes, you can resize and even split up the prints into wallet size, etc.
Is there a benefit to doing it this way rather than running it completely off the pico?
@@DonovanJM not really, just giving options
I just saw the GPIO video which clears it up. I didn't realize you don't need the pico if you do it this way.@@TheFeralEngineer
Thank you! Been at it for days. Tried flashing mcu multiple times and still couldn't get it to talk. This worked perfectly thank you!
look nice bed love your work man :) good day and hope linuxcnc too ;)
Nice
What’s the asking price? A grand?
depends on size. currently, the 235/235 plate is about 36 bucks www.whambamsystems.com/products/picftw-235-x-235?aff=63
So the asking price seems high, is it that mich better?
$36 for 235x235 isn't too bad. The other beta testers and I have had remarkable results with it.
@@TheFeralEngineer nice, I look forward to hear more about it (though I moved a year ago and have yet to put my printer back up, sigh)
I have the same cat 🐈👍
Thank you even more!!
Thank you!!!
Wondering if you use two different filament types, is there a setting for that?
@@simplified3DHub there's not. They share a chamber, so dual temp would not be doable
@@TheFeralEngineer Thanks,
I’ve got both my printers up and running and can toggle between them via fluidd but can’t seem to get klipperscreen to add the button to toggle directly on the btt-pad7. I have printers in the klipperscreen.conf file named accordingly restart but the button doesn’t populate to toggle. I’ve tried maybe a dozen times now. Uninstalling and reinstalling everything fresh.
Loaded Linux on desktop to run my Sherline mill. For some reason the X axis moves in only 1 direction, regardless of which direction (+ or -) that I click on in the manual selection in Linux CNC. Does HAL have a fix for this ?
@@gwheyduke what interface card are you using? What motors and drivers? Did you use the config wizards to create a base config?
how did you set the 90 degrees display? I try hundreds of tips, configs etc. - would you please share the settings? Thank you!
It's just a setting inside of the system.cfg file in the boot folder
@@TheFeralEngineer Nope, this does not work... maybe cause I'm using a BTT Pi (not a rasPi). But thank you!
@@cyaneo7 I'm talking about a btt pi, cb1, pad7, etc. Make sure you remove the # next to the rotation command or it's commented out
@@TheFeralEngineer hmm... yes, I commented all variations out or removed the #. This is in my system.cfg: ########################################### # HDMI klipperScreen rotation # ks_angle: Rotation angle ks_angle: 90 # normal: 0; inverted: 180; # right: 90; left: 270; # ks_angle="normal"
@@cyaneo7 you need to put "left" or "right", not 90.
Hi Feral Engineer! My name is Lawrence, I'm from New Zealand, and have enjoyed your informative videos! I have a MESA 7i95T, and can now confirm this method works for this board as well, using "7i95.0", and not adding the "t" or "T". Thanks for all the work you do to help the community! Now to try and get the motors running.
Mate, thank you so much from Australia. I bought the 3 SE recently, with the Smart kit... Light was needed and I came across your video. Thank you for the effort of making this video sharing your idea. I printed all the parts, bought the same light strip and connected it all up... very cool. I even used the LED top profile and added a shorter version of it to the camera bracket (thingiverse 6574108) that is freely available (simply in Tinkercad). Now i have light coming directly from beside, slightly behind the camera as well, lighting up the hot-end (less shadow). Again, thank you so much.
@@kwailintube that's awesome! Glad you were able to get it all working 🐱🐱
Hi, nice Job! What is the Max diameter for this machine?

Nice video on how to make this happen. I wonder if I could get it to work with a Pi Zero?
@@greatwhiteslark absolutely
Why if I do the first menuconfig and GPIO it ask me to write a string? What should I do?
That I'm not sure of. I haven't run across that yet.
niiice !! the 1st and only video about it on YT
cnc mill update soon? :D mine will be done in a couple of days ;)

@@ThyerHazardhopefully
How about noise? Is it bothersome?
@@Abyssaal1 no, not at all
had mine for a week, i can barely hear it at night in the same room, all you hear is the fan going and its more of a low hummmm
Nice
Thanks for a great informational video.
Is there an option to just keep warm/dry? What if you just want to keep your filament dry at all times?
@@Vallecaucanisimo the time goes up to 48 hours but I did not see a non-stop option. Maybe for safety reasons.
it's also advised to not heat your filament the whole time because it can become brittle/too dry.
phiiiiillll….nice to see a new vid
@@danielminskey I've literally got zero time right now, but I've had this on my SD card for a couple of weeks and had to put something up 😂
Is the stock sprite heatbreak garbage? I have a new v3 se and have experienced an epic, epic hotend jam.
@@Mr.McWatson not garbage, I just prefer all metal because I print a lot of petg
@@TheFeralEngineer Just wondering if the stock one leads to more heat creep
@@Mr.McWatson I do not believe so
How do you test PID temp with the nebula pad? Theres not an option for it
@@theflipbook1280 you can run a PID test through fluidd
hi there are there quick question im trying to tune for acceleration with sonic pad on neptune 3 pro but when followirng the acceleration tunning instructions nothing seems to change. i am using orca slicer and dont really now if there are setting i have to zero out like the normal printing setting or other stuff.
@@coronitaflotante are you using the accelerometer? After tuning, it'll give you the recommended results you should add to printer.cfg
@@TheFeralEngineer i used it to tune input shaping but that's about it
Too bad its not for sale in Eu outside of England.. taxes and shipping are making it now a 100usd product. sadly.
@@Maxflax121 see if you can find a T95 TV box and you can flash intovato's Linux onto it
How do you feel it will perform with just pla?
@@matthewsanchez32 great 😀
@@TheFeralEngineerI’ve got $100 to spend on my birthday this month. I’m between this upgrade or x axis rails or Klipper . I can’t decide what to do first lol
@@matthewsanchez32 Klipper first. Rails very last. You can Klipper the machine for cheap if you don't mind running from a laptop/tablet/phone
I know this video is about mks but I came to you from another person who linked you, WildRoseBuilds, Beginners Guide To Klipper on Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro.... I am attempting to use mainsail to run Klipper on my ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro printer. I’m receiving this message on mainsail; "Klipper reports: startup, the klippy host software is attempting to connect, please retry in a few moments" My SD card that's in the printer is loaded with printer firmware from the link on your GitHub. The stock remote is still connected and if i go under the information tab it still shows the stock firmware is still on it.
@@Greatdayforaswellbattle it's for any Linux device, the steps are pretty much the same. The error you are receiving is basically the generic "I can't connect for a number of reasons" message. Did you look in your klippy.log file for any more information? Do you have the correct serial id in your MCU section? If you're using the binary that's on my GitHub, it's too old for the latest versions of Klipper and you'll have to build your own binary.
@@TheFeralEngineer Thank you for getting back to me! So, are you saying the board firmware (ZNP_Robin_Nano.bin) is outdated? Or the printer.cfg, or both?
@@Greatdayforaswellbattle the .bin file. You have to build your own using my instructions in the video
@@TheFeralEngineer alright yeah, im not trying to do anything on linux. just trying to get the firmware onto the printer so i can connect my pi to it and run klipper. i understand you said the firmware on your github is too outdated and i have to build the bin. i have no clue how to do that. i thought it would be straight forward using the wildrosebuilds video. thanks for the help
@@Greatdayforaswellbattle just watch this video about it. If you don't want to go into make menuconfig yourself, kiauh has a build script built in that will do most of the legwork for you. Unfortunately with klipper, there are some things that the user needs to do themselves 🤷♂️
Hi There is a ptfe tube inside the original heat break, it down sbmaller than the regular ptfe tube. Reqular one have 4mm od but this is 3.9. the new heatbreak does it need a ptfe tube ?
If you watch the video, you'll see what it needs one on the cold side of the break, but not the that goes to the hot side. I'm not sure which one you're asking about
Hi, can you check the outer diameter of the Capricorn PTFE tube, it would be 4mm outer diameter. The PTFE tube inside the extruder is 3.9mm.. I have not upgraded to bimetal heartbreak. The original heat break has a PTFE tube inside it as well. Which is also 3.9 mm outer diameter. I am unable to buy a PTFE tube that is 3.9 mm outter diameter Can you check if your PTFE tube is actually 3.9 or 4 mm od If it is 3.9 mm then I will buy it for local Amazon . To fix the problem.. Other brands PTFE tube come at 3 dollar per meter. But the Capricorn PTFE tube is 20dollar in local currency.. hence the question

@@TheFeralEngineer No problem, I was able to buy PTFE tube with 3.9mm od, But I decided to upgrade to bimetal heat break
Will that enclosure make PLA filament stick to a PEI spring steel bed, long enough for the printer to finish, as long as the bed stays very hot?! I use an Ender 3 Max Neo
@@derk4737 PLA doesn't need a lot of heat with pei. 50-55 is ideal. Wash the bed with dish soap and water, make sure it's level and keep the machine away from drafts. Enclosures sometimes do more harm than good with PLA
@@TheFeralEngineer as far as 50 to 55…. I assume you’re talking about making sure the PEI bed heat is only set to 50 to 55 is that correct?

It's good practice to update the printer MCU on occasion or you may get this same error because of outdated binaries for that as well. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it 😬

No you can't. The firmware config and screen are both very different. You're better off installing Klipper and ditching the original screen.
