Great video! I'm the person with the cyd repo , im delighted to see it continuing to be useful to people. I had nothing to do with CYD klipper though, amazing piece of software! For people asking about using different displays (or bigger displays), its probably relatively easy to port the project to a different display if you you are happy to code it yourself, but the webflash method will only work on this exact display
well I bought one of these of aliexpress for £1.19, just to try this, although I didn't need it. worked well, so now gonna try some different projects with it. Thanks
Thanks Michael, I love these kind of videos, you have just helped so many makers! I still have the rear case for the Ender 3 you designed, it was one of my first prints, and to this day possibly the most useful. Your work and sharing of it is highly appreciated. Thanks again.
What a great, cheap option! I managed to get Klipper Screen running on an old HTC One - plugged into a usb port of a RPi4. Works flawlessly. :) But, if I hadn't already set that up, I'd go for this option for sure.
Can you please do an episode on getting klipper to send notifications to your phone... 'push' notifications with status updates, like first layer done, print finished, etc.
I have two boards like this with the built in touchscreen I bought a while back because they were so cheap. Now I know what to use them for :) Thanks for this. Particularly because the screen on the Ender-3 V3 SE doesn't function in Klipper
your instrustions are slways so precise and easy to understand. I was hoping if you make an updated video as to how to setup a touch display for raspberry pi running octoprint on my ender 3
just bought one and set it up, in setting it up it turns out the 3.5" capacitive one is now supported as well, so I'll be picking that up as well, much nicer than resistive screens, and I think it was £12 for the bigger screen
I wonder if this project could be ported to work with the included LCDs on machines like the ones included with the Anycubic Kobra series. They’re just a simple lcd with an onboard processor, and if they could be flashed to this project they would already be fully in place and fit into a converted printer
I used kiauh, its after the installation process in mainsail where it tries to connect with klipper and shows the blue message for 5 minutes, then it goes red @@Anzyclos
I don't like adding both this ESP32 plus a pi running the Klipper server. I see expensive Creality Sonic Pad is available to do it all in one. Any suggestions for DIY kits that result in a single enclosure klipper server and touchscreen supporting an input shaping accelerometer?
Thanks a lot, your Videos are extremely interesting and enjoyable! I use klipperscreen on a nice old 10" tablet and it was extremely easy to set up. Did I miss this option in the video? Or was it just forgotten to mention?
Hey, so to use this method I should have klipper firmware installed on the printer's motherboard and already tuned up to work properly before I use this CYD solution as the controller?
Out of curiosity, can you plug in an sd card on the back of that screen and transfer files? likely not but Im curious if that is a feature since after klipper conversion, the port on the board becomes useless.
Question. When you are setting IP to the printer. Dose that mean the printer has to be a WiFi enabled device? Also, dose that make the old screen obsolete? I want to do this exact thing for my SR.
I'd say it's possible but you'd need to know how to edit the source code to include that functionality. Someone could I'm sure, sadly not me. It's been developed on platformio as well, and I've never used that (not that I'd be able to even if I had)
I have a branch that does exactly this, sadly it's unstable as it requires quite a bit of memory to load an image. Maybe it's more bearable when the latest dev has been merged into it
Hi. I think you said on the vid that you had once shown how to use an old tablet as a touchscreen for a printer. If I am right, can you tell me which video it was on. Many thanks
Can you use any ESP32 touch display? I saw some larger ones with better resolution for not a lot more cash. I’m curious if those are a viable upgrade pick.
I’m wondering the same thing I think it will work though it’s the exact same thing just bigger if anything it will work with a border around the edge but should be able to fix by editing the firmware
what do you do if it keeps giving you failed to connect even though you've verified that it is up. I did try putting in port 4408 for Fluid or 4409 for mainsale as well as 80. It does not appear to like any... is there something special that needs done for the K1 Max?
Can I give some feedback on the videos? People don’t have patience for 10-20 second intros anymore. I would suggest shorting the channel spash at the beginning.
Here's a question, I have a Voxelab 3D printer (I'm a newbie to 3D) I also have a spare Rasberry Pi laying around. Is it possible to connect the 2 so that I can access the printer via my network. At the moment it uses ssd cards, which is a pain.
Yes. I was running a Voxlab on a Pi3A+, but it will work with any Pi from a Zero W 2 on up. The Zero W 2 can run full speed with a simple generic USB charger that provides 2000mAh or more,. The other Pi's will throttle to half speed unless you buy a official Pi charger that can pump 2.5 to 3 amps through your USB cable (which most USB cables are not made to do). Personally I've switched to using an old i5 laptop running Debian Linux to run 4 printers. The Pi has no shielding and frequently disconnects during printing due to EMF noise. I did design special unpowered shielded USB cables and used a dedicated 60W power supply for all four Pis on all 4 printers and solved the disconnect issue, but they still throttled, probably because it is hard to find a micro-USB cable with thick wires that is cheap.
This is just for power, you could also use a buck converter to get 5v from your printer PSU, probably can even use same buck as your rpi if you are already powering from psu
Excellent video and very useful tool! Just one question: Why resistive touch display? C'mon, chinese manufacturers! There are awesome capacitive touch displays out there with IPS panels. These resistive touch TFT panels should all be in a museum until now...
I got it working on my minion with RatOs and is doing fine. What I struggle with is macros and how to add some basic commands to the screen that I’m showing in mainsail.
Can you really get that touchscreen for $10? i'm in euro area and every screen that has a €10 pricetag, has something like 7€ postage. that seems to be the minimum total price with everyone. that is a capacitive touch version, non-touch and resistive are a bit cheaper
Will this work for the 4.3 version? 4.3" inch ESP32 Display ILI9485 IPS TFT LCD Module ESP32-8048S043C-I Capacitive Touch Screen 800x480 ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 Development Board for Arduino IDE
This looks like way more than 2 minutes. Must be this video is for those already familiar with klipper, know the code, have a raspberry pie attached to their printer, and know how to do all that before taking the two minutes to install this.
If you already have klipper, this takes very few minutes. I think that is the logic of the video, because installing and configuring klipper will take you a lot more (and I did it manually, not with an image because I use an old laptop for running klipper)
It's just stupid. You have - usb , i2c , spi , uart , gpio and you select get and send data over Wifi ! One of main reasons to have display is reset button , and with this display you have a lag between click it and printer reality resets. With this you have lag on any action, and you have a ui that doesn't supported by anyone on the community , and it's ugly as hell
Is there no place in the world where you want a printer status display that doesn't have to be hardwired into a pi? I run mine off a battery bank so i can place it anywhere. Also, i think it's a bit short sighted to say that the screen is not suited to be an emergency stop. I think you'll experience more latency by waiting for the command queue to empty before the emergency stop is actually processed. If you really want an emergency stop, consider the power plug :)
If you see the video, you will realize that this works with every machine under klipper. It connects to the machine using wifi, so no wired connection is needed. The only wired connection you need it to supply power to the screen. If the machine does not come with klipper or you did not mod it to add it, this won't work.
@@santiagopostorivo I watched the video. Sorry new to 3d printing. I didn’t realize it until I got it that Anycubic locks down their entire printer so you cannot mod it. So that’s why I asked. Sorry.
