Thank you so much for this awesome guide.

Thank you for watching and for your comment. I hear the bootloop is caused by the stock probe. I did not know this till after uploading this video. Im glad this was helpful for you all together. Have fun with klipper.
Hi, I also have the stock probe and intend to migrate to Klipper soon... How did you fix your bootloop ? Do you have any links that would be interesting to read before installing Klipper?

@@Erbsensuppe22 i don't own the X1, but i imagine the process is pretty much identical. you probably have to adjust the printer.cfg and delete the auto level stuff out.
@@EtherealProject3D Easiest klipper install I've ever done was really really easy. Already have your board installed its just makes it that much better. Bummed I missed out on the flexplates but thats ok my fault for not getting one when I should have.

Helful and detailed video especially for someone like me who knows nothing about commands and linux. I had issues with finding MCU as it said there was not such a device. PID bed and extruder caused mainsail to hang and had to shut it down so they didn't work for me. Bringing printer to DFU mode didn't go well and after reading a lot had to use jumpers on mainboard. Used Cura which seems not very compatible with klipper so gonna try ideamaker. Thanks
Big THX for this Video. So i was able to run Klipper for my Genius Pro. It's working perfect and it's so much faster. Maybe you can need the printer.cfg for other people. Now it's not perfect but i have to get used to it. Happy printing
Thanks for the great instructions. The firmware update worked immediately. Now I'm looking for a good klipper profile for the OrcaSlicer. Do you have a good recommendation for this?

Excellent video for installing Klipper. However, I have what I guess is a noob question. Why? what benefits are there for running Klipper on the X2. I've been running mine since it first came out and it's worked out really well for me. It's my third printer after the ubiquitous Ender 3 and an Anycubic Linear Kossel both of which still work perfectly albeit noisily. I tend to design and print functional parts that we use around the apartment or for friends. Speed of printing is not a big issue for me, in fact quietness of operation is the most important consideration since we have to live with our printer in the family room. I like to use Octoprint since that way I can monitor a print when I'm out and about and the RPI3 that it runs on seems to work nicely with the stock Marlin although the print quality could be a bit better. Will Klipper appreciably increase the print quality? I've heard about input shaping but I don't understand how you could integrate a sensor module on a bed slinger. It seems to me that proponents of Klipper tout the increase in print speed as the main benefit but I wonder what I'd be giving up. For example, Klipper seems to be more complex and time consuming to use than my simple Octoprint interface. Nonetheless thank you so much for what is undoubtably the best instructional video on how to achieve Klipper on the X2.
Great tutorial! Thank you. I was very apprehensive about switching to Klipper, mainly because of flushing the printer's firmware... Once done, got my first layer perfectly thanks to the leveling tools. A question, though: why does a print take so long to start (up to 5 minutes) or it does not start at all? the console shows "File selected" and that's it... Need to use the emergency stop and then reset for it to work again.
Awesome tutorial, but im stuck at one point and could use some guidance. How do i configure ideamaker or Orcaslicer to have those settings. In ideamaker i cant find the start gcode in the filament configuration settings. Also in the pulldown menu you had a profile created that said artillery sidewinder x2 klipper.... is that something you created. Do i need to change any settings from Marlin to Klipper in any of the settings anywhere ?
Hey! Thanks for tutorial, I've followed your steps without issues. The only issue I see for now, that macros for filament load retracts filament too much, and on print start filament extruded a bit later then print starts. It's not a big issue on start print, but on change filament in the middle of printing I think it could be an issue.
Hi, I use orca slicer. I have followed all the steps and when I print the motors it loses steps, I think the error is in the accelerations, could you make a profile for orca slicer? I am using a translator, I don't know if it will be understood, Thank you very much in advance
Hi, great video! But whats the reason behind your rotation_distance numbers in your config? You're using odd numbers like 39.94 and 7.96. All other X2 Klipper configs online use like 40 and 8 respectively. I even think I read somewhere that Klipper internally rounds those numbers anyway.
Hello, my printer is a SWX2. the pc only recognized it in the device manager as a USB device under the name STM32 Bootloader. I can access it with STM32 but not with Pronterface(there i need a COM port and i dont have one offert). I have the Plantine version 1.2 and had to jump. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Thank you for the video, i have not yet watched the entire video. I was wondering can i run this tutorial on my Creality Ender 3 S1 pro? Thanks in advance.
Hello, thank you for all these very instructive and pleasant videos. I am still on a SWX1, without BLtouch. but klipper is installed. I've heard of a full metal heating head to get up to 300°C, is this valid, or is it better to switch to another printer? speed is not the most important thing, but learning about the novelty that is klipper allows you to stay up2date at no cost. I'd also like to know if you've ever heard of or seen a SWX1 with the head and motherboard of a SWX2, do you think it could work. the mechanical base is identical, isn't it? except for the blue plactic gantry on the swx2. Thanks in advance for the answers even if you don't have any more information than I do. Good job mod. on this Artillery. thanks.
Thank you for your kind remarks, It helps to know that people are enjoying my content. As far as using the SWX2 electronics in an X1, Its doable but there are some differences that are hard to notice at first glance. The breakout boards are all different and the tool head uses a 24 pin ribbon cable on the X2 rather than the 20 pin on the X1. You could just switch out the mainboard if you wanted to, but would take a few changes to the wiring inside as well.
@@EtherealProject3D Thank you for your reply, I now have a better idea of the differences between the two models. I'm going to stay with the X1 and get used to learn Klipper. One more question, you have made an electronic card to connect a BLtouch, do you know the cost to Europe? if you still have some in stock too.
Very instructive video. I see in printer.cfg this section for the case fan, but I'm wondering if this is correctly configured... according to Klipper doc a controller_fan should be associated with heater or an active stepper driver [controller_fan case] pin: PC6 off_below: 0.3 idle_speed: 0.0 How is this supposed to control the case fan?
Excellent Video, Short and sweet. The only thing I find annoying on these Ruby boards is having to short the PINS to update the Klipper Firmware on the MCU. Going to install a little switch externally to short the pins for Bootloader mode, whenever I need to flash... Klipper is going through constant updates. Q: Does one of those configs include the Induction Bed level mod you did earlier?
Thank you. Yeah I dont know why they did not include a bootloader on this board, seems like an easy thing to have, the switch is a good idea for sure. To answer your question, no it does not, I had trouble getting to work correct and for the sake of time I switched back to the CR-Touch to get this video done.
Hi, i have a problem. After your installation something went wrong as from the pi the connection wasnt working. So i decided to restart from 0 but now i'm not able to connect the printer to the pc anymore. The pc detects the 3d printer in DFU mode as "unknown USB device", pronterface gives me "rubbish reply bad baudrate" error and STM32 doesn't recognise any USB or Serial port available. I'm in serious trouble help
@@EtherealProject3D Thank you for responding, fixed the problem and now i have klipper all set up! Only thing is that the turorial skips over how to install the screen on the raspberry (or i have just missed it), ty for the tutorial!
Hi, thank you for this fantastic guide, unfortunately after 3 weeks of use it no longer works. I did several tests and came to the conclusion that the motherboard firmware was corrupt. i connect the PC to try to flash Klipper/Marlin again, the printer is not recognized by Windows (I installed the drivers, and I also tried with the manual dfu). What could I do? thanks for your time.
Hello, i want to change my X2 to clipper. Can I flash the bin file on your google drive to my x2 like this? Sorry I'm from Germany and my English is not the best. Thanks for this great guide.
If for whatever reason you're getting the error message ""Option 'serial' in section 'mcu' must be specified" after setting the mcu id, make sure the # before serial: is removed, or the line will not be active. silly mistake I made, as the # was present, unlike how it is in this video. hope that helps anyone.
Hello I found your tuto and its great, but Im trying to print ASA Filament, and I preload the nozle and bed to 250 -90 but when the temperature its ready I click on print and the temperature starts to go down to 140 and 60 as default and then I have to raise it again, is there any way to print directly in high temperatures? thanks
Excelent video ! I bought my new Sidewinder X2 and I am considering to install klipper on it. I am thinking in to buy a MKS pi instead of Raspberry pi. I have a question: The stock screen will be still able to controll the printer after the firmware upgrade or it will be only controlable by the web interface ? Thank you
With klipper the stock screen does not function. If you get the mks pi I recommend getting a compatible screen that works with the mks pi so you can have the klipper screen interface along with the web interface. Thank you for watching and happy 3d printing.
Great video, really well explained, I'm using Orca Slicer, but the "PRINT_START" and "END_PRINT" doesn't work, klipper never gets to send the extruder to heat up, do you know why it could be?
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo, je l'es suivi pas a pas mais au moment d'imprimer j'ai ce message d'erreur "Unable to open file" et je ne trouve pas la solution?
I just found this video and I am so glad I had a life before hand becoz I have no idea what you're saying. I bet you are the man amongst your friend group but this isn't helping me lmao
I can't put my machine to DFU mode. In pronterface I can connect to it (Serial USB device COM5) but as I enter M997, it drops "Can't read from printer" and "Can't write to printer" errors. If I put the jumper on the motherboard's pins, windows 11 losts connection to the printer, COM5 disappears and an unknown device appears in USB devices. Can someone help me step-by-step? Also it's not clear when exactly to put the jumper on the pins (During ON or OFF state? When to take it off precisely?) Although I think I tried all the combinations...
I would like to ask something on start/end.cfg files. I have pasted when I have in Cura in these cfg files respectively. Should I remove what I have in Cura in Start G-Code and End G-Code?
Hi. Great video. I have one question. Is it possible to connect the printer via wifi, if so can you make a video about it. I’m kinda noob in this things.
interesting solution, have you ever encountered a situation where during printing sometimes a layer of the y axis or a lot of layers move during printing?
My comment seems to have disappeared, so apologies if this question appears twice in a row. If I’ve upgraded the hot end to all metal bits how does the printer configuration file need changing? I have no display. I guess it is just the maximum temperature but maybe there is something else? Oh, I forgot to mention that I have ordered one of your PCB breakout boards and a BL Touch Original, but I doubt either makes a huge difference. Just remembered I upgraded the thermistor (NTC 100k)
A issue ive found is the bl touch that comes with the x2 puts the machine into a reboot loop so it can not be flashed with klipper , you need to remove it put the z limit switch on or upgrade to a cr touch
I just got my sidewinder x2 yesterday, could you explain what you did or have a link to setting that up? I have yet to run into the issue but would like to read about it or know just in case I run into this error.
Never had a perfect first layer till now , just got tweek my cura profile for this , thank you for all the advice and help , if you have any hints for a good cura or prusaslicer profile i be grateful
Hi there, i followed your tutorial today and am now at the hightmap thing.... I have a deviation of 0.400mm and the map picture looks like mt everest.... What can i do about that. It took several tries to get the printer to printing, i had to install ideamaker and only then it started printing, BUT the extruder ripped the first layer off the bed....i think i need help here
Awsome video. I am still using the swx1 with a bltouch and hemera extruder ( using your bracket designs). I am looking into installing klipper. Would the printer.cfg file be good base start for my printer?
Thats a great setup on the X1 for sure. The X1 will have a pretty different config setup, check out 3D Print Beginner, he has a klipper config for the X1 that would be a good starting point.
Thanks for your tutorial, followed it and got Klipper on my sidewinder. I only have one problem, corners are not as good as they were on marlin, is there anything i can do to fix it? Thanks!
Hi I'm trying to install Klipper and everything was going well until the printer connected using Pronterface. The printer had a connected status, but the m997 did not work, errors appeared and the message "the fourth unsuccessful attempt will disconnect the printer" from now on it is impossible to connect to the printer. Stm32 also does not detect the printer. Do you have any advice on how to fix this.

Hi there, commenting again. Would the screw_tilt_adjust work for other printers on Klipper? I am trying to get my Anycubic Chiron to level but running into my height map all over the place. I apologize for asking on a Sidewinder video but you seem very knowledgeable about Klipper/etc.
Yes it will work on the Chiron, you will need to make sure you have the coordinates of the bed screws and offsets correct in the printer config. No need to apologize, I welcome any questions and am happy to provide help.
@@EtherealProject3D I appreciate you getting back to me, but looks like I have more errors to figure out before I can even measure the bed screws. Getting "pin needs to be specified in probe" no matter what config I have used. Been working on this for 3 days and my probe offset won't work correctly. Gotta love Klipper and random configs lol.
@@EtherealProject3D I was able to make another config file work. But testing bed mesh next. Probe is working/heaters/etc. I appreciate your help nonetheless and will come back to this video once my replacement parts come in for my SW-X2 (Arrived DOA but could get klipper to talk to it).
Help. Problem Im currently having is I used the Stock firmware provided for the configs and it appears my stock ABL extends, gets triggered and then the nozzle still crashes into the build plate. if i raise the Z axis and then press the ABL when its coming down it does stop before hitting the build plate. I'm not sure what to do from here.
love your tutorials, realy easy to follow and on point. but i have a problem with this one... im using a genius pro, so i changed the position_max values in [stepper_x/y/z] in the printer.cfg but it feels like it needs even more changes. homing isnt completly centered on the Y for example. and when i do the "bed tram" macro, the whole hotend getting squished into my bed so its stopping... hope someone can help me, i saw a lot getting this running on genius pro with your help but jeah... :/
guess i found the spots which needed to be changed by myself now. hotend is centered nicely on my genius pro. will check later if there is also still the same problem when im going for the bed tram macro
"Bed Tram" dosnt realy work for me, the firmware thinks the screws are at the spot of the sidewinder. but i changed the screw spots (i took them from a genius pro printer.cfg i found) any solution for this? or may i have to change mor ein the printer cfg?
@@EtherealProject3D wasnt only the home coordinates which needed some love. but i think i found all coords which needed tweaking for the genius pro and so far its running nicely. realy appreciate your good work and content for the artillery printers.
Excellent video, i finished upgrading to Klipper this afternoon, and i noticed that the filament runout sensor isn't working anymore. Do you have a solution for that?

Hi Matt, I am having a little issue and u might be able to help... I have klipperized my SWX2 thanks to you, I have upgraded bearings on my carriage (extruder) and now when I go to do BED TRAM it goes so close to the bed that when the CR touch probe drops it hits the bed (no gap in between). Nothing has changed apart from the bearings...what do I do now? Any ideas?
@@EtherealProject3D the nozzle was not touching the bed, just the probe hitting the bed during its initial drop. I think I have managed it though, lowered the bed down to make it a little bit further away from the probe and managed to carry out the Bed Tram as well as all other bed leveling operations 😊
You will have to put it in DFU mode manually, on the mainboard there is a cluster of pins. With the power off and USB disconnected, jump the pins labeled 3.3v and boot. then connect only USB power, no main power. then continue on witht e update from STM32. When done, remove USB power and then the jumper.
Hello, first: thank you for this video! Can you tell me if you figured out how to manage the filament runout through klipper? I know I need to unplug the filament sensor from the TFT first and then plug it to a free pin on the mother board of the SWX2 (pin PA0), and with a special setup in the Marlin firmware, this can work and allow for example Octoprint (on a RPI) to be aware when the filament runout is triggered. Do you have the same configuration but for klipper? Thanks.
Thanks for your videos :D I have a problem with the "MCU"! I put it in the right place but it doesn't work and I get this error message : Option 'serial' in section 'mcu' must be specified Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "RESTART" command to reload the config and restart the host software. Printer is halted What should I do ?
First of all, thank you very much for your information, but I have a problem, can you help me? I cannot install a stm32 cube programmer on my computer. Step 7 remains on a white screen. Do you know why?
I’m setting up to try this with the Genius Pro. I took your config and changed the build dimensions to what the Genius Pro’s are. Do you think this will work since they are pretty much the same machine just the sidewinder is bigger.
I was about to do this, but saw a Q/A on an earlier post about the bed leveling iduction mod. Am I correct to assume if I have done that mod, I cannot follow this tutorial and get Klipper to work or has this been updated?

Thank you, and thanks for the video idea, i might just have to do that.
Excellent video for installing Klipper. However, I have what I guess is a noob question. Why? what benefits are there for running Klipper on the X2. I've been running mine since it first came out and it's worked out really well for me. It's my third printer after the ubiquitous Ender 3 and an Anycubic Linear Kossel both of which still work perfectly albeit noisily. I tend to design and print functional parts that we use around the apartment or for friends. Speed of printing is not a big issue for me, in fact quietness of operation is the most important consideration since we have to live with our printer in the family room. I like to use Octoprint since that way I can monitor a print when I'm out and about and the RPI3 that it runs on seems to work nicely with the stock Marlin although the print quality could be a bit better. Will Klipper appreciably increase the print quality? I've heard about input shaping but I don't understand how you could integrate a sensor module on a bed slinger. It seems to me that proponents of Klipper tout the increase in print speed as the main benefit but I wonder what I'd be giving up. For example, Klipper seems to be more complex and time consuming to use than my simple Octoprint interface. Nonetheless thank you so much for what is undoubtably the best instructional video on how to achieve Klipper on the X2.
This is on the list after the linear rails are done.
Nice ;)
Amazing video thanks
Your welcome
Tnx!!!!!
@@karacas2500 your welcome
Excellent video thanks !!! 💪
Your welcome
Great tutorial! Thank you.
I was very apprehensive about switching to Klipper, mainly because of flushing the printer's firmware...
Once done, got my first layer perfectly thanks to the leveling tools.
A question, though: why does a print take so long to start (up to 5 minutes) or it does not start at all? the console shows "File selected" and that's it... Need to use the emergency stop and then reset for it to work again.
Gracias!!! muy buena explicación!!!
You are very welcome.
Awesome tutorial, but im stuck at one point and could use some guidance. How do i configure ideamaker or Orcaslicer to have those settings. In ideamaker i cant find the start gcode in the filament configuration settings. Also in the pulldown menu you had a profile created that said artillery sidewinder x2 klipper.... is that something you created. Do i need to change any settings from Marlin to Klipper in any of the settings anywhere ?
Hey! Thanks for tutorial, I've followed your steps without issues. The only issue I see for now, that macros for filament load retracts filament too much, and on print start filament extruded a bit later then print starts. It's not a big issue on start print, but on change filament in the middle of printing I think it could be an issue.
Informative video. Much different to doing this in an X1?
Thank you. The process should be pretty similar on the X1.
Hi, I use orca slicer.
I have followed all the steps and when I print the motors it loses steps, I think the error is in the accelerations, could you make a profile for orca slicer?
I am using a translator, I don't know if it will be understood,
Thank you very much in advance
Hi, great video!
But whats the reason behind your rotation_distance numbers in your config? You're using odd numbers like 39.94 and 7.96.
All other X2 Klipper configs online use like 40 and 8 respectively. I even think I read somewhere that Klipper internally rounds those numbers anyway.
Hello, my printer is a SWX2. the pc only recognized it in the device manager as a USB device under the name STM32 Bootloader. I can access it with STM32 but not with Pronterface(there i need a COM port and i dont have one offert). I have the Plantine version 1.2 and had to jump. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Thank you for the video, i have not yet watched the entire video. I was wondering can i run this tutorial on my Creality Ender 3 S1 pro? Thanks in advance.
Can you make a tutorial for a Artillery-Genius? If not, is there a config file i can use, and follow this tutorial?
Hello, thank you for all these very instructive and pleasant videos. I am still on a SWX1, without BLtouch. but klipper is installed.
I've heard of a full metal heating head to get up to 300°C, is this valid, or is it better to switch to another printer? speed is not the most important thing, but learning about the novelty that is klipper allows you to stay up2date at no cost. I'd also like to know if you've ever heard of or seen a SWX1 with the head and motherboard of a SWX2, do you think it could work. the mechanical base is identical, isn't it? except for the blue plactic gantry on the swx2.
Thanks in advance for the answers even if you don't have any more information than I do. Good job mod. on this Artillery. thanks.
I'm using an X2 with the all-metal hotend and have been printing 280+ deg on the extruder with no issues. Sidewinders are very capable 3D printers.
Yes they are.
Thank you for your kind remarks, It helps to know that people are enjoying my content. As far as using the SWX2 electronics in an X1, Its doable but there are some differences that are hard to notice at first glance. The breakout boards are all different and the tool head uses a 24 pin ribbon cable on the X2 rather than the 20 pin on the X1. You could just switch out the mainboard if you wanted to, but would take a few changes to the wiring inside as well.
@@EtherealProject3D Thank you for your reply, I now have a better idea of the differences between the two models. I'm going to stay with the X1 and get used to learn Klipper. One more question, you have made an electronic card to connect a BLtouch, do you know the cost to Europe? if you still have some in stock too.
Very instructive video.
I see in printer.cfg this section for the case fan, but I'm wondering if this is correctly configured... according to Klipper doc a controller_fan should be associated with heater or an active stepper driver
[controller_fan case]
pin: PC6
off_below: 0.3
idle_speed: 0.0
How is this supposed to control the case fan?
Excellent Video, Short and sweet. The only thing I find annoying on these Ruby boards is having to short the PINS to update the Klipper Firmware on the MCU. Going to install a little switch externally to short the pins for Bootloader mode, whenever I need to flash... Klipper is going through constant updates.
Q: Does one of those configs include the Induction Bed level mod you did earlier?
Thank you. Yeah I dont know why they did not include a bootloader on this board, seems like an easy thing to have, the switch is a good idea for sure. To answer your question, no it does not, I had trouble getting to work correct and for the sake of time I switched back to the CR-Touch to get this video done.
Hi, i have a problem. After your installation something went wrong as from the pi the connection wasnt working. So i decided to restart from 0 but now i'm not able to connect the printer to the pc anymore. The pc detects the 3d printer in DFU mode as "unknown USB device", pronterface gives me "rubbish reply bad baudrate" error and STM32 doesn't recognise any USB or Serial port available. I'm in serious trouble help
That means klipper firmware is on the printer, continue on with the install on the pi.
@@EtherealProject3D Thank you for responding, fixed the problem and now i have klipper all set up! Only thing is that the turorial skips over how to install the screen on the raspberry (or i have just missed it), ty for the tutorial!
Hi, thank you for this fantastic guide, unfortunately after 3 weeks of use it no longer works. I did several tests and came to the conclusion that the motherboard firmware was corrupt. i connect the PC to try to flash Klipper/Marlin again, the printer is not recognized by Windows (I installed the drivers, and I also tried with the manual dfu). What could I do? thanks for your time.
Hello, i want to change my X2 to clipper. Can I flash the bin file on your google drive to my x2 like this? Sorry I'm from Germany and my English is not the best. Thanks for this great guide.
If for whatever reason you're getting the error message ""Option 'serial' in section 'mcu' must be specified" after setting the mcu id, make sure the # before serial: is removed, or the line will not be active. silly mistake I made, as the # was present, unlike how it is in this video. hope that helps anyone.
You need to uncomment the [mcu] section in the printer.cfg file
excelent! i have a question, can we change the home location with klipper?
Hello I found your tuto and its great, but Im trying to print ASA Filament, and I preload the nozle and bed to 250 -90 but when the temperature its ready I click on print and the temperature starts to go down to 140 and 60 as default and then I have to raise it again, is there any way to print directly in high temperatures?
thanks
Excelent video ! I bought my new Sidewinder X2 and I am considering to install klipper on it. I am thinking in to buy a MKS pi instead of Raspberry pi. I have a question:
The stock screen will be still able to controll the printer after the firmware upgrade or it will be only controlable by the web interface ?
Thank you
With klipper the stock screen does not function. If you get the mks pi I recommend getting a compatible screen that works with the mks pi so you can have the klipper screen interface along with the web interface. Thank you for watching and happy 3d printing.
Awesome video. Do you by any chance have a config file for the Original Artillery Genius?
Thank you very much. I do not, sorry.
Hi! Thanks for a thorough video 🙂
I have a SWX1.
Is this directly transferable to this model?
Thanks ;-)
Was it? Also same boat as you
Great video, really well explained, I'm using Orca Slicer, but the "PRINT_START" and "END_PRINT" doesn't work, klipper never gets to send the extruder to heat up, do you know why it could be?
Can you Name the exakt Error?

I can't put my machine to DFU mode. In pronterface I can connect to it (Serial USB device COM5) but as I enter M997, it drops "Can't read from printer" and "Can't write to printer" errors. If I put the jumper on the motherboard's pins, windows 11 losts connection to the printer, COM5 disappears and an unknown device appears in USB devices.
Can someone help me step-by-step? Also it's not clear when exactly to put the jumper on the pins (During ON or OFF state? When to take it off precisely?) Although I think I tried all the combinations...
I cannot get pronterface to connect. It says connected but when I m997 it says it cannot read from printer.
Hi... A report like this appears in Klipper reports. This is why Klipper Dashboard does not work. What should I do?
How can i do the klipper with Z endstop sensor instead of abl touch ? is there any config file?
I would like to ask something on start/end.cfg files. I have pasted when I have in Cura in these cfg files respectively. Should I remove what I have in Cura in Start G-Code and End G-Code?
Hi. Great video. I have one question. Is it possible to connect the printer via wifi, if so can you make a video about it. I’m kinda noob in this things.
With the RPi you will have wifi by default and you can access the machine via the web interface.
super vidéos !! mais je n arrive pas à faire fonctionner le macros BED TRAM
interesting solution, have you ever encountered a situation where during printing sometimes a layer of the y axis or a lot of layers move during printing?
No, I have not had that problem.
My comment seems to have disappeared, so apologies if this question appears twice in a row.
If I’ve upgraded the hot end to all metal bits how does the printer configuration file need changing? I have no display. I guess it is just the maximum temperature but maybe there is something else?
Oh, I forgot to mention that I have ordered one of your PCB breakout boards and a BL Touch Original, but I doubt either makes a huge difference.
Just remembered I upgraded the thermistor (NTC 100k)
Just the max temp needs to be updated in the printer.cfg.
@@EtherealProject3Dthanks. That was my guess, but it’s nice to be sure.

Hello. I’m rand new to 3D printing and just bought a SWX2…can you explain to me what the purpose of this is and what benefits it has?
A issue ive found is the bl touch that comes with the x2 puts the machine into a reboot loop so it can not be flashed with klipper , you need to remove it put the z limit switch on or upgrade to a cr touch
Thats strange, thank you for the info.
I just got my sidewinder x2 yesterday, could you explain what you did or have a link to setting that up? I have yet to run into the issue but would like to read about it or know just in case I run into this error.
hey love the guide, but the "klipper configs" file is no longer in the google driver?
Its linked through my website now. If you have any trouble with it let me know.

It took several tries to get the printer to printing, i had to install ideamaker and only then it started printing, BUT the extruder ripped the first layer off the bed....i think i need help here
Awesome Thanks! Shared hop you dont mind :)
Your welcome, I dont mind at all, thank you for sharing.
Awsome video. I am still using the swx1 with a bltouch and hemera extruder ( using your bracket designs). I am looking into installing klipper. Would the printer.cfg file be good base start for my printer?
Thats a great setup on the X1 for sure. The X1 will have a pretty different config setup, check out 3D Print Beginner, he has a klipper config for the X1 that would be a good starting point.
Sweet thank you
Hi sam were you able to find the config files for the x1? I wasn't able to find it. would you be able to link them to me if you found it?
Great video, if I have the flsun v400 with the speeder pad , can I configure it to work instead to buy a raspberry ?
I am not sure, Ive not had any experience with speeder pad so I cant speak to any specifics about it.
Would you recommend crtouch or genuine bltouch for klipper upgrade?
I like the CR Touch better, its been less prone to uncommanded deployments
Thanks for your tutorial, followed it and got Klipper on my sidewinder. I only have one problem, corners are not as good as they were on marlin, is there anything i can do to fix it? Thanks!

Hi
I'm trying to install Klipper and everything was going well until the printer connected using Pronterface. The printer had a connected status, but the m997 did not work, errors appeared and the message "the fourth unsuccessful attempt will disconnect the printer" from now on it is impossible to connect to the printer. Stm32 also does not detect the printer. Do you have any advice on how to fix this.
You will need to put it into dfu mode manually by jumping the boot and 3.3v pins on the mainboard then powering it via USB

Hi there, commenting again. Would the screw_tilt_adjust work for other printers on Klipper? I am trying to get my Anycubic Chiron to level but running into my height map all over the place. I apologize for asking on a Sidewinder video but you seem very knowledgeable about Klipper/etc.
Yes it will work on the Chiron, you will need to make sure you have the coordinates of the bed screws and offsets correct in the printer config. No need to apologize, I welcome any questions and am happy to provide help.
@@EtherealProject3D I appreciate you getting back to me, but looks like I have more errors to figure out before I can even measure the bed screws.

Help. Problem Im currently having is I used the Stock firmware provided for the configs and it appears my stock ABL extends, gets triggered and then the nozzle still crashes into the build plate. if i raise the Z axis and then press the ABL when its coming down it does stop before hitting the build plate. I'm not sure what to do from here.
You may have a faulty probe.
love your tutorials, realy easy to follow and on point.
but i have a problem with this one...
im using a genius pro, so i changed the position_max values in [stepper_x/y/z] in the printer.cfg
but it feels like it needs even more changes.
homing isnt completly centered on the Y for example.
and when i do the "bed tram" macro, the whole hotend getting squished into my bed so its stopping...
hope someone can help me, i saw a lot getting this running on genius pro with your help but jeah... :/
you need to change the home coordinates
guess i found the spots which needed to be changed by myself now. hotend is centered nicely on my genius pro.
will check later if there is also still the same problem when im going for the bed tram macro
"Bed Tram" dosnt realy work for me, the firmware thinks the screws are at the spot of the sidewinder. but i changed the screw spots (i took them from a genius pro printer.cfg i found)
any solution for this? or may i have to change mor ein the printer cfg?

Hi Matt, I am having a little issue and u might be able to help... I have klipperized my SWX2 thanks to you, I have upgraded bearings on my carriage (extruder) and now when I go to do BED TRAM it goes so close to the bed that when the CR touch probe drops it hits the bed (no gap in between). Nothing has changed apart from the bearings...what do I do now? Any ideas?
Is the nozzle hitting the bed? if so, adjust your zoffset.
@@EtherealProject3D the nozzle was not touching the bed, just the probe hitting the bed during its initial drop. I think I have managed it though, lowered the bed down to make it a little bit further away from the probe and managed to carry out the Bed Tram as well as all other bed leveling operations 😊

At the point where you enter the M997 code I am getting a Error 13 and I am not able to continue with the install. Any suggestions appreciated.
You will have to put it in DFU mode manually, on the mainboard there is a cluster of pins. With the power off and USB disconnected, jump the pins labeled 3.3v and boot. then connect only USB power, no main power. then continue on witht e update from STM32. When done, remove USB power and then the jumper.

@@94Fiorello Yes you can disconnect the display.
with your start print gcode the extruder and bed doesnt heat.. how can i solve this?

Hello, first: thank you for this video! Can you tell me if you figured out how to manage the filament runout through klipper? I know I need to unplug the filament sensor from the TFT first and then plug it to a free pin on the mother board of the SWX2 (pin PA0), and with a special setup in the Marlin firmware, this can work and allow for example Octoprint (on a RPI) to be aware when the filament runout is triggered. Do you have the same configuration but for klipper? Thanks.
I do not yet but will be adding that feature in the near future.
@@EtherealProject3D Great! Thanks
Thanks for your videos :D

Ok but when the Jumper is on 3.3 and boot then the printer won't even connect to the computer.
are you using main power or usb? for it to work with the jumper you only need usb power. Also you wont need pronterface, only the stm32 programmer
I’m setting up to try this with the Genius Pro. I took your config and changed the build dimensions to what the Genius Pro’s are. Do you think this will work since they are pretty much the same machine just the sidewinder is bigger.
Yes it will work.
I was about to do this, but saw a Q/A on an earlier post about the bed leveling iduction mod. Am I correct to assume if I have done that mod, I cannot follow this tutorial and get Klipper to work or has this been updated?
you will have to change the probe settings in the config.
