There is anything more boring than a 3D printer without lights? Maybe, but it doesn't mean adding them isn't a great idea. Whether its for better print visibility, enabling better video quality, or getting status updates LEDs are a great addition to any 3D printer.

Awesome layout on the video! Love that you not only showed what was happening on the printer but also showed what was making it happen either by showing the code or controls on the screen. And also loved the breakdown on the code instead of just copy and past this type of thing. Believe it will be very hard to mess up or get confused, which is not the norm ha ha.

@robertliptrott7358 Год назад

This video has been sooo helpful, just getting to grips with understanding the coding over the last few months and this vid has made it a lot easier to understand and implement into my printer, already got them running and looking forward to fitting more, .

@julianschill Год назад

Thank you for this great video and for covering the LED effects plugin. I think it will enlighten a lot of people (pun intended) and help them to choose and set up the right solution.

@leogray1091 10 месяцев назад

I do like the video. Something is very important for quality of life, but rarely touched on by others ! Good job picking this topic

I just installed neopixels on my v0 and was just asking if this was possible. Perfect timing! Thanks.

@Invaderjason123 Год назад

I currently am using WLED w/ Moonraker integration. Works pretty good but I wish I could use LED Effects for Klipper with it. I am about to add stealthburner so I will use my pin on my Spider board just for those lights to keep things separate.

@bridgetclinch3678 Год назад

Yeah whacked neopixel strips in to my klipper printers, mainly just using white at the moment to give the pi cameras better lighting, and worked it in to my macros to turn them on and off. I'll get around to maybe using some of them for indicator lights for various things.

@TheSupertecnology 10 месяцев назад

Marvelous explanation about PWM. Only small detail is that it doesn't work with persistence of vision; it is a way to regulate RMS voltage to a componen (LEDs in this case) and does dim them by lowering the voltage the LED sees at its input, just as if there was a regulating potentiometer on its input.

@tomblomfield6973 Год назад

I use rgbw strips all over my voron controlled by led effects! It’s an amazing plugin and I love it

@thewildtuskermusicproduction Год назад

Awesome video. What are the easiest ways of upgrading to more Neopixel compatible connectors? I am using an Octopus v1.1 and my RGB-Light/Neopixel-Pin is already used by the 3 Neopixels of the Stealthburner. But I would like to be flexible in using 1 or 2 bars for lightning and 1 bar for progress/status. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

@WKfpv Год назад

I will definitely put that progress bar on my printer

@iMattmax Год назад

can I chnage the direction of the progress, because my first led on the strip is on the right side and I wanna have the progress from left to right? and why is the print_percent changing the color of the ledlights sometimes from green to yellow / orange?

@IDCrish Год назад

Hi, so what about controling 4 wire led with klipper?

@chriswoods9857 Год назад

I am soooo confused with all of this. I have tried adding leds to my stealthburner and they will not work. Could you do a video on how to do the software? I can't find any videos on the installation and I don't know where to begin on how to fix it. 😢

@bigtst36 3 месяца назад

Iv'e got a 4.2.7 board that has a filament runout sensor. Could that be used to control leds?

@bigtst36 2 месяца назад

Note that the linux mcu implementation does not currently support directly connected neopixels. The current design using the Linux kernel interface does not allow this scenario because the kernel GPIO interface is not fast enough to provide the required pulse rates. Is this still valid?

@deathcube2006 Год назад

Quick question, how do you address neopixel pins from two different mcus? I have a skr mini with a neopixel output and even with the optional power module for up to 30 neopixels. Also I have an EBB36 connected via canbus with neopixel output for the stealthburner, how do you individually address each one for the neopixels? Or maybe inclusive control extra leds via GPIO pins on the pi?

@clixium Год назад

Give name to mcu, ten add that name to a pin, [mcu io], pin:io: PD6

@bybarbaros 6 месяцев назад

I enjoy watching your videos. You provide very educational and useful information. thanks a lot. Meanwhile. I am trying to configure the system. But I can't find the macros you added to the led_configuration.cfg file. I probably always overlook it.

@EsotericArctos 4 месяца назад

1 amp of current at 12v is equivalent of v2.4 amps at 5Volts so look more at the Watts rather than Amps. 1 amp at 12V is 12 Watts. If the fan headers are 24Volt, then 1 amp at 24V is 24 Watts. That's a damn lot of brightness in LEDs.

i receive this error on install [ERROR] Klipper service with name klipper not found, please install Klipper first or specify name with -s.

@lensineer Год назад

You got me motivated to finally install the RGB board I ordered. Unfortunately nothing really works, documentation says it works with the neopixel library and is GRB but from my tests it is RBG and I can't input this into the configuration file (throws an error).

@Vector3DP Год назад

What is the error?

@lensineer Год назад

@@Vector3DP It was strange, the colors were all mixed up and so on (also some leds different color than others or brightness differences). After a LOT of testing I came to the conclusion that it has to do with the signal cable length, and most certainly a command timing problem. ~140cm is the limit where it just interprets one of the first commands wrong but afterwards it works.

@3dPrintingMillennial Год назад

I want to do a custom design with the old school 3/5mm diodes. Any tutorials for that?

@martinmckee5333 Год назад

I don't know of any tutorials. I'm curious though. How many discrete LEDs are you hoping to use? Or, rather, how many separately controlled channels?

@jakeb3668 Год назад

I have everything configured and my neopixel leds work. But when I try to use the digital ninja file and run a template I get the error unknown command "set_led_template". Any idea why it would be doing this?

@Vector3DP Год назад

You need to add the include section. It might have a typo if not working.

@jakeb3668 Год назад

@@Vector3DP Just redid the file to be sure it was uploaded correctly. The include is there and giving no errors with the file. but still getting the unknown command error. does anything besides the neopixel name chain and pin have to be defines in the printer.cfg file. i have no macros setup there for leds currently

@@Vector3DP well i got it as it turns out my klipper was not newest version and didnt support templates so it was giving that error. updated klipper and now it works. thanks for the awesome video.

@Wulf_Mane Год назад

Have you tried Klipper on the Prusa? Could you do a tutorial on how to do LEDs for octoprint?

@Vector3DP Год назад

I haven't tried klipper on any prusa printer yet. Maybe something to try soon. I've not looked at octoprint for a long time now, but since octoprint is not the printer firwmare I don't think that is the place you'd control it. I might be wrong though. I'm working on a firmware-free module that would be compatible with nearly every printer.

@riccardosacchetti Год назад

I do.. no way, the stock firmware and hardware are for sure really better than any klipper firmware and btt boards

@martinmckee5333 Год назад

@@riccardosacchetti In what way? I'm researching a new printer and Klipper was a massive improvement for my Ender 3. I'd ne glad to go elsewhere on a new printer if there's reason though.

Hey, have you had the possibility to look at a combination of WLED with Moonraker (which supports sending commands to the ESP running WLED)? I see many people recommending this but there is no such great howto video out there for the WLED/Klipper(Moonraker) combination like this one. Would be great if you could also do a video about it ☺️

Vector3D Daybreak Neo Mini bars sold by 3Djake in EU are being delivered without any cables.

@Vector3DP 4 месяца назад

I sell them without cables too. They're pretty to make compared to the rest of the printers they are designed for. The trouble is there is no length or connector that would suit everyone anyway. Easier just to make them yourself imo.

@GeorgMierau 4 месяца назад

@@Vector3DP Well, the thing is, there are kits available (e.g. LDO) which require no crimping at all and selling a product which can't be tested "as is" is probably a good way to lower the cost, but it's also kind of "so many users got chargers at home, so we will not supply a charger with our next phone" situation.
