Be aware that for CB1 + PI4B..."The DSI/CSI port will only work while using CM4." as they saying on the website, so Raspberry Pi CM4 only for connecting display. Otherwise you'll need HDMI screen.
@@3DPrintSOS It can be pain with HDMI + USB cables, and some adapters can be costly too. However there is a BTT Pi with SPI connector for more tight applications but there is no too many display options atm. I have all 3 btw, RPi, CB1+Pi4B and BTT Pi, but I would still suggest to go with Raspberry Pi (4b) + PiTFT5 display as prices are normalizing a bit. It is faster and everything is much more straight forward.
I have a bunch of different Pi’s and some of the alternatives on hand as well. For me, BTT stuff is a no-brainer at the moment. They have great documentation, compatibility, and they integrate really well into a ton of products. I don't see them as a compromise at all. In fact, I think they’ve made a bunch of improvements over similar Pi’s. Plus, you dont have to hunt for them. ;)
This is also the case with other non RPI products like the MKS-PI and MKS-SKIPR, the onboard CSI connector at this point will only work with one specific display and is best used with a HDMI screen, this is the only major down point when using these alternative SOC Hosts, as the Pi DSI screens can be found much cheaper, but its great to have an alternative choice, I think the pads are a fantastic value, specially if you have few low cost machines in one area, you could run them all off one pad and a USB hub.
i am new to 3d printing and i have the ghost 6 and pad7. until i found this video i was completely at a loss. you have saved my life good sir thank you very much
3Dprintsos. Question, do you can travel ,all expenses paid etc, to visit our Farm and got our MODIX printers with Klipper, that will help our goals, sorry to ask here sorry, att Nelson
Hey DJNelson! Shoot me an email to fedor(@)3dprintsos.com and we can chat about it. I’m not familiar with those machines, but if you let me know the model, I can look up the specs.
Nice vid as always. Ordered a pad7 day one and haven’t had a printer to use since they have klipper. Thought about running the trident and v0.2 off it. Too lazy to flip that trident back over.. lol
Hey guys and dolls, I added the creality sonic pad onto a Flyingbear Ghost 6 super easy install. Its fun to do and you get to learn all about Klipper and the Fluidd web ui.
You've convinced me. I'll start out with a Pi4 4gb first, already being used for octoprint/dash. Don't know yet if I can use my Creality 2.2.1 board in my Sovol SV01, but maybe? Anyway, without your explanation I probably wouldn't even try. Only thing really holding me back was not quite getting how it worked. Flash the printer, load the config to Klipper. Maybe not as easy as that, but at least it's a start!
There’s tons of places to get help luckily! So no better time to try than now. :) Yep, flash the printer, follow modbots video to install BTT klipper onto device, connect, upload printer.config.
@@3DPrintSOS Currently I'm running a 3 color printer with duet 3D Mini plus Wi-Fi On my computer but you can use a tablet or a smartphone. It's a clone board you should try it.
Hey There Fedor.. After some brain storming! I got the online control up and working for the Internet Klipper screen which now talks to the Pad 7. My Browser page logged on to the IP address now I saw what it was! The next part I will need to have the firmware you show here work with the Printer? I updated all the needed pad klipper software on there too. Now I have to find how to get the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max to be controlled by this system? Any thoughts how and where I get the files needed by Klipper? Thanks for the ton of help you are a star! 😉
Great video as always. Just got my Pad 7 a week ago and with the help of Aurora Tech Channel and The Feral Engineer got it all set up and working on 3 of my Neptune 3 Pros.....Any chance you can do a video about slicer settings and such to get printers dialed in for Klipper? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get faster speeds and good print quality and I know NOTHING about doing it for Klipper. Thanks and keep up the great content.
Im pretty sure both would work. As long you find a config file for the machine. Otherwise, you will have to find a pinout of the board and make your own. Might be too much of a hassle.
If you just need to quickly reprint something or do some calibrations and need to be next to the machine. This way, it’s right there. No need to look for anything or load anything or prop up a laptop. It’s already attached with full control.
Depends on where you look. They site has the CB1 + Adaptor for $36 and the optional heatsink is another $5.90. (worth it if you ask me, but not needed if you must keep the budget tight)
Hi, I need some help with this Pad 7 Set Up! I got the web address for the site that let's you control and edit the running of the printer by the pad, But a problem the site address when typed in to the address box online makes it go to a google results page for the Pad 7 and BTT information not the needed access area for the klipper control? I got the address from the Aurora Tech video for the set up of the pad 7. But no matter what I do it does not let me go to it? Any idea's how to get around this? Thanks.
Should be an easy fix. Copy and paste this into our Discord's Klipper section and one of us will gladly help. I think you just need to type the IP address the Pad is giving you. When it’s wrong, it just outputs a google search result.
@@3DPrintSOS Hi there, No this is not a address given to me by the pad 7 it's self in set up. it is a address that Aurora Tech told us to use to start the set up of the web interface page the klipper firmware uses to let you control the printer! like when you had a web page you put up to control the printer for movements and temps etc. the address she said to log into online don't go there it goes to a google search list for BTT or pad 7.
@@3DPrintSOS Hi Again, Okay the pad 7 is connected to my internet by wi-fi. There is IPv4 number and a longer one called IPv6 with letters and numbers. I typed in the top one the IPv4 numbered one and it said this address is not secure?

Yes, as long as you dont mind tweeking a config from the Elegoo Neptune 3 with sizes from the max. Looks like a config file has to be created, I dont see one easily available online. But yes, It will work.
@@3DPrintSOS Hi Fedor, I went and made the choice even with bills due I ordered from BTT since it was so low and on sale. Lucky for me the money saved on the order meant I can afford the bills still. The cost was £109.00p which is amazing deal for sure. That's £50 less than Amazon UK price. They said I be getting it within 7 days from Yesterday ( Friday 18th August ) I really pleased to have got such a bargain and hope to maybe run my two Elegoo Printers off this pad 7 now your shown here how to do so?

@@3DPrintSOS Hi Fedor, I have a update for you! I at last have the Pad 7 now. I had a hell of a time getting it. The parcel was sent from Germany in the EU to the UK.

The parcel of the Pad 7 was held until the customs import fee was paid by me to the post company whom pays for me to the UK customs any fee on the imported goods.

I paid the fee which was a high one of £33 compared to the cost of the pad 7 of £109.00p So sadly I paid this so much for saving £50 by ordering direct from the BTT Company!

The daft thing is the rules of the importing tax state that if the imported goods are under £135.00p you don't have to pay any importing fee! So they paid for the fee when it should have been no fee to be paid?

Great video! I've had my pad sitting in the box for a few months, this is just the inspiration I needed to unbox it and get it up and running!
it’s the bay one so far. I like that it can be used just a computer if you wanted. Not locked down at all.

Yep, the .bin file and klipper config file I provide in this video can run on any Klipper device, be it Sonic Pad or any other offering. ;)

Well...actually it is 52$ for the board then you will need the heat sink which is ten bucks....its still affortable though😉
