Thank you for the great service and efforts you put into this. It's very comprehensive, I just got started with mine. I sure feel like an amateur and compared to your skill set and knowledge. 💪🇺🇸😎
@@TheTechnologyManI ordered one of these with the impression that I could view the camera and start/stop prints while away from home. You stated that it is not capable of working off the network without doing some extra work. How would I go about doing that?
Thank you for this introductory video. To date, it's the most comprehensive and informative I've seen. Sonic Pad has potential but you have to get your hands into the code. I don't have much faith in Creality's responsiveness to release new printer.cfg files quickly. Even if the official configuration of our machine is released, we'll still have to go write in the Klipper code. It's up to me to write a commented printer.cfg file with all possible updates included. Good luck for the rest of your videos on the Sonic Pad (change of printer, modification of the slicer with Cura or Prusaslicer,...).
@@TheTechnologyMan To clarify, this tablet is not suitable for all printers. This solution will not work for the anycubic kobra printer, since the resistors need to be soldered in the anycubic kobra printer itself, only after that the clipper will work correctly. The thing is that anycubic kobra decided to normally put different drivers for the axes - TMC2209 clones and TMC2208 extruder on one UART, but did not take into account that the TMC2208 will have the address 0, as well as on the X axis. Therefore, it is necessary to solder the address of the driver X from 0 to 3. Solder the resistors R65 to R66. So, this device is most likely for all printers of the creality brand. But, many solutions from the creality brand are easily integrated into anycubic kobra. For example, I have successfully installed anycubic kobra creality 3d digital spoon rack-s. Everything fell into place without alteration. Set the adjustment of the platform as in creality (twister + springs) + automatic alignment from anycubic kobra themselves. This is my subjective opinion. The Creality Sonic Pad tablet is not really needed when for the same price of $ 90-100 you can buy a mini pc SZBOX T5 Pro (intel 3305 processor, 6GB of memory, 64GB of space is a lot, I only have 6.8 gigs of space occupied) install debian 11, lift the docker and the port, deploy an octoprint in the docker or a clipper, connect the camera and, if desired, you can install Home Assistant. Thus, the printer can be integrated into the HomeAssistant and we get the opportunity to control the printer via a voice assistant or using smart home automation and output the camera to any smart TV at the request of the voice assistant.
I've been looking to upgrade my setup rather than deal with the inherent design flaws in the Anycubic Kobra. Your videos have been key. They're extremely well put together and not only helped me decide but will be helpful during setup. Thanks
The resonance test is to measure the frequency as the print head see them. By putting the sensor on the bed for the Y-axis reading, you are bypassing the resonance as it travels through the z-axis screws and the rollers that the head rides on.
@@TheTechnologyMan Another analogy of this is the large mass dampers near the top of tall skyscrapers. They dampen the sway of the building they feel at the top during earthquakes, not what is happening at the base. If the bed of the printer is reading higher vibration levels than what the print head sees, it will overcompensate for it in the software. I have an S1 Plus, so the bed has more mass, but the whole printer does too. I may or may not see a more noticeable difference than a standard size printer when I set my Sonic Pad up on it.
Just got mine. pretty much got it running smooth with your help :) didnt want to push it too much so went for test benchy with 400% speed (from 80mm/s base in slicer) so 320mm/s with 5000 accel. took 33 mins with result like on a stock just a bit of error on backside hull. (arches even the chimney was flawless) Just wish it had some kind of remote access (not only home wifi) so i could check on it while in work throught my phone. guess my sollution will be a laptop next to printer connected to sonic pad throught wifi, while ill connect to laptop via microsoft remote access app on phone to control it :D
Why is it so difficult and so many devices? It is easier to take one mini pc SZBOX T5 Pro on aliexpress at a price of $ 90-100, which will replace two Creality Sonic Pad devices and the laptop that you are going to install. This SZBOX T5 Pro is small, has no fans and its resources are abundant enough to control the printer and camera operation. In total, 6.8 GB of 64 GB of space is occupied and 700-900 MB of 6 GB of memory is consumed. We install debian11, docker + portainer, put an octoprint with a clipper plugin in the docker and control the printer with a clipper. We install and configure OpenVPN for remote access and manage the printer from anywhere, no matter where you will be. Also, if desired, you can install Home Assistant and it will automatically control the printer, and you can also implement voice control of the printer, at the request of the voice assistant to display the camera on TV, and you can also automatically send videos or photos to telegram and even automatically turn off the printer when it finishes printing the part. I have already done all this and worked successfully and even tested the printer illumination. If it's dark outside and the printer is on, then the light will turn on itself with not much brightness by 20%, and if I approach the printer, the brightness of the light will increase to 100%, as I move away from the printer, the brightness decreases to 20%. If the day is sunny, then the printer's backlight does not turn on, but I can turn it on through the voice assistant
Just got my sonic pad today. I had a klipper setup on a pi but liked the idea of more optimized profiles and the input shaper accelerometer. The tip on using the bed for Y was great and am just about to do that. great video thanks!
I've updated to the latest firmware. I can confirm, the resonance testing through the standard options on the Sonic Pad covers X and Y axis now. Thank you for saving me hours of hair pulling!
Thank you. The best video I have come across. I just purchased this to go with my CR10 Smart Pro, mainly because I use my printer sideways as I can't see the nozzle from the front. I have been fairly disappointed with it so far, the setup instructions are not clear enough. I seem to have lost the ability to power off my printer from the Sonic Pad as I could with the default display. The Creality HD camera that came with the printer doesn't work with the Sonic Pad, that's just ridiculous. The Sonic Pad lost all the settings after I had completed the first installation and I had to start again after turning it off. I made a mistake and entered the wrong bed temperature, as the bed was already at 60 degs I had to wait 20 minutes and was locked out until the bed had cooled to 40 degs. Now I find out that the printer and pad can't connect to each other solely via network cables and the USB connection is so flakey they have had to produce a serial lead and adapter which isn't available yet. So yes, pretty annoyed at the moment with my £160 purchase.
I'm upgrading from an Ender 3 v2 running octopi to an S1 Pro with sonic pad. Thank you so much for this video, it gives me somewhere to start. Excellent in depth review!!
This is probably one of the best reviews of this product I have ever seen!, I cannot reccomend it enough. Ever thought of sending it to creality and showing them how its done!
I'm fairly new to 3d printing. I have both a Ender 3v2 and a Ender 3 S1. Both on Sonics pads and I'm totally new to Klipper. I feel some of this will take time to learn for me, but I appreciate the simple yet in depth video.
Great video. I picked one up and it was a breeze to setup but when I shut down the printer I had to reconfigure it when turning it back on. Hopefully this time it will save my settings when I shut it down today. Great video, I learned a lot more than I can digest in one sitting about this Sonic Pad and what it can do. Your video helped me understand a lot of the features I didn’t know about.
Just as a heads up to everyone, it also now supports the CR-6 SE and MAX. BUT, when you buy it you will have to upgrade the firmware on the pad itself to access these features which is pretty straight forward, download the firmware, load it onto a memory stick, insert the memory stick, and it will prompt to upgrade the firmware for the sonic pad.
I drilled 2 small holes in the bed handle of my S1 Pro that align with the existing holes in the X/Y sensor. I use the printable sensor mount on the memory stick and mount that to the Sprite extruder to take the X axis measurement. I unscrew the sensor from the extruder mount and then screw it into the holes that I made in the bed handle to take the Y measurement.
Very interesting thank you for the time and effort. Having installed Klipper manually on a test printer I can attest to the fact that it is a total ball ache to do it that way and this device makes it lot easier, the fact that it controls 4 printers at once makes it a no brainer really, While I love Octopi this really does make it a lot easier to switch, no 4xPi's or alternatives. I have it on two CR10 V3's and I am looking to explore the possibility of using it on my Sovol Idex printer ,By the way it only works on one webcam if anyone is wondering.... Creality needs to look in version 2 for more expansion options or perhaps better a powered module that the accepts all the cables and a single conductor to the Sonic Pad
My sonic pad has arrived today, your video is going to make setting up cura loads smoother so cheers for that! I understand the newer firmware for the sonic pad has been updated to do the resonance test on the Y axis in the tutorial so will see what happens a bit later on...
@@TheTechnologyMan the updated firmware is an improvement but it still isn't perfect. They illustrate the sensor going in the centre of the bed however the x axis gantry is too low to enable you to fix it as depicted. I used some masking tape on the bed and some double sided sticky tape on the sensor. Worked fine on the 1st attempt.
After this review, this item is going from my wish list to ordered. Like lots of new people to 3D ing, I am clueless to a Klipper set-up, this seems like a good start. Hopefully Creality will add the ender 5 to the list. Thanks for a great review
Hi. I’ve come straight here from reading your excellent Sonic Pad instructions to subscribe to you. Learnt and implemented things I otherwise would have not known so quickly. loving the Pad and the benefits it brings to my S1 Pro. There might be some money to be made from prints after all! Cheers. 🎉
Excellent review!. Ive had my eye in this pad for a while but had some questions about it. You managed to answer most of them. Ill be ordering one now for sure. Thx!
great video, very informative, got the sonic pad working on my old creality ender 3 v1 with an ender 3 pro replacement board(ebay) running 4.2.2 and amazing worked fine!
Thank you for this detailed and thorough video. It made the first steps with the Sonic Pad significantly easier. I watched it several times, always going one step further :-)
This is a great review! I am thinking of getting one for my new 3 S1 pro and after seeing this review and walkthrough it’s a sold upgrade for sure!! Thank you! Also knowing my Logitech will work is a great bit of info. Cheers
Good review; its a bit buggy though imho. I may go back to octoprint+PI, which is far more stable. Considering how new the product is; not shocked. Things I noticed out of box: 1. bed leveling was terrible; just ended up doing the old fashion way (print a bunch of boxes whilst fiddling with the bed screws, manually set z in printer.cfg). 2.if you try to change settings during a print all sorts of weird things can happen (temp going to zero, reboots, etc) 3. Camera behavior seems odd; sometimes works; sometimes doesn't. Nice side; klipper can be deployed in 15-20mins with very little knowledge; huge upgrade for any ender. (and a Working screen!, been years since I've had one)
@@TheTechnologyMan yep; agreed. Worth the price IMHO; getting alot of for the cost of a rapberry pi. what i eventually found to fix bed leveling; squish the bed springs or print solid mounts for bed. Then heat bed and run bed_mesh on each print_start. This assumes your z probe calibration is a good number. I calibrate z right over a solid mount and use that as the "z-axis" source of truth. I still kind of wonder if you could script out load draw on the z-axis and auto stop motor when amperage spikes due to hitting bed; getting a true number each print start for 0 z_location. Nozzle tap without switch and get the true absolute value for z=0.
Great video the best I’ve seen so far also read your web review very informative as well, one thing I’m trying to setup is Internet remote access, please can someone pass on some advice on about this. Anyway great reviews thank you.
Glad it was helpful! If you Google port forwarding - you just need to open the local IP address of the Sonic Pad in your router. That's one way anyway. Make sure you add a secure password to the web portal.
This Sonic Pad looks to have so much potential, but the difficulty of setting it up most probably scares away more than 90% of those who are interested in it. You would think Creality would go out of their way to import as many printer profiles as possible, in order to make this a "GO TO" device. To see them dragging their feet to do so, is head scratching, as they are leaving tons of money and popularity on the table. Also, you show in the description that the October 31st update added the "CR10 Smart" to the list of default printers, so that brings the question for me of does that mean that the successor "CR10 Smart PRO" will be able to use that setting as well, or are the different boards of the two printers too different??? If MY "CR10 Smart PRO" would work with this Sonic Pad, as I'm assuming it would, I will have to buy this and do the work to get it going. Also, in the latest update, have they done anything to make it easier to view a webcam over a browser from outside your home/local network?? That's an important factor as well. Thanks for a great detailed vid. I've subbed, and look forward to seeing more from your channel, as this is the first vid I've seen of yours. You speak like your on ten cups of strong coffee, but that's what the pause button is for... Cheers!
@@TheTechnologyMan- I decided to buy a separate security pan/tilt wifi camera, that can be accessed any time from anywhere in the world over the net. Now I don't have to depend on Creality to see my printer in action from outside my home network. It's an easy, simple and efficient solution. Of course my CR10 Smart Pro already comes with an ethernet port and HD camera, but I wanted something that can pan and tilt to my liking, so this new camera was a no brainer. And it's a much higher definition at 2K.
Great video I did struggle keeping up with the speed it was given, just ordered the sonic pad for my E3 v2, I also have a Anycubic Kobra 2 which is pretty quick but quite loud due to the 7000rpm part cooling fan, depending on how well this performs I might be sending that printer back
Try reducing the playback speed to 0.75x - RU-vid does a good job on this. And you can enable captions - I have full transcripts for every video. Hope that helps.
I like my sonic pad. A lot of people in the official Facebook group seem to not understand what they were getting into when they bought it. They went on so much about the flaw of the updates that I blocked mine from accessing the internet on my router. I’m still running the original firmware it shipped with. I’m sure it would be fine, but I’ll wait until a must have feature comes out.
Thankyou for clearing up the bedslinger accelerometer issue that has been plaguing my mind. I could not see how it could work on a non core XY machine. It makes sense that you would want to use it on both axes to get the combined results. It sounds like you have to have the 4.2.7 board to be able to use the Pad though. No Ender 3 support is a killer for me. I see no point in having to buy a new Creality printer just to be able to use the sonic pad.
Great video, I have been getting a few vertical lines in my prints. I think this video with the links to the Klipper read me, might just help me.Thanks for taking the time and making this helpful video much appreciated.
This a great informative video. How much did it take you to actually prepare about all the information, the testing, the video making and editing. I can see you put a lot of effort to make state of the art review videos. You camera angles are great. Wish i could learn from you. Post a master class video on youtube video making and editing 😅😊
I'm seriously thinking of getting one for my Ender 5 Plus. But since an Ender 5 Plus is not already preloaded into the Sonic Pad it freaks me out knowing that I have to configure everything on my own especially when I have no prior experiences with Klipper to begin with. I wonder how difficult it is to install and configure an Ender 5 Plus on a scale of 1 to 10 to the Sonic Pad? Nevertheless thank you so much Gidon for your highly detailed review of the Sonic Pad. It would be awesome if you could do another video showing how to add a printer to the Sonic Pad that is not already preinstalled. Take care and again thanks for the great sharing.
Thanks for your comment. Good suggestion - will give it some thought. I don't think the Ender 5 Plus would be too difficult and I'd hope at some stage Creality would add more printers. Thing is if you're going to have start doing all this yourself, it makes the price of the Sonic Pad less attractive! Did just check and there's a printer.cfg file you'd need to load, and the Sonic Pad shows how to compile the firmware in case you do go ahead. Good luck! github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/printer-creality-ender5plus-2019.cfg
I just ordered two to test out on my V2's. I do have an extender kit on one of them so I'm hoping that it will be easy to change the build area of the printer in Klipper. This will be my first time messing around with Klipper . Great video thank you!
I had to do this for my S1 Plus. It wasn't as straight forward as I was hoping but I was able to figure it out. The bed screw measurements were something new for me coming from Marlin. I also had to learn how Klipper calculates E steps as it's much different than Marlin. Thanks for great video. I'd love a more in depth one with more tips and tricks.
Everything is working well getting the Sonic Pad set up with my Ender 3 S1 Pro, but when I try to import the profiles into Cura, it errors and tells me that the quality types "normal" and "fast" are incompatible with the current active machine definition.
Great channel and presentation. Cool product. Just recently got my first 3d printer (ender 3s1pro) and love it. Sounds like this is a great upgrade. Should we be concerned about motor lifespan being reduced with speeding up?
Thanks! Printing faster will probably wear parts a little quicker but I'd just make sure nothing's rattling around and the prints are coming out ok and not worry too much about it.
So I'm a super slicer and Prusa slicer user. I know the world likes Cura, I hate the UI :). I'd love to see you do a video on optimizing printing in Prusa Slicer for sonic pad users (and that should also extend to Klipper users general) there is a lot of information on profiles for Cura, but little for Prusa Slicer
Hi I prefer Prusa Slicer too to be honest and use it with my Prusa printers. But with these new printers I review they usually come with Cura profiles, so it takes extra time tuning profiles in Prusa Slicer. But good suggestion - and it shouldn't take long tuning profiles in Prusa Slicer. I'll see what I can do.
@@TheTechnologyMan that would be great, we have chep doing profiles for Cura and others, but Prusa doesn't seem to get as much love :). I look forward to a potential video!
I know it's been a little while since you made this video but it's still one of the most informative videos out there. Thank you for all the valuable information. I really hope you might make a follow up video to maybe show what you've learned since this one was made and possibly save some of us Klipper beginner's a lot of headaches. Also, I was wondering about the webcams you used. Did the Logitech webcams have as good of a picture quality as the Anker? I'm about to order a webcam and noticed the C270 is cheaper. But if you think the C920 is better I'd like to know. And what's the difference in the C920 and C925E? Thank you for any help you can give.
Thank you appreciate it - and glad it helped! Yes I do hope to make a follow up video when I get time. The C920 is an older model - but well supported with the Sonic Pad and Octopring etc. It's far better quality than the C270 if you can afford it. The Logitech and Anker are pretty similar - if I was buying one specifically I'd probably go for the Logitech just for compatibility.
@@TheTechnologyMan I found out that it does work with the Enders 7, But you have to manually set it up as no automatic profile like the Enders 3 series
Thanks for the video. Can't get my new SP connected to a Ender-3 v2 Neo. Although the model IS listed on the setup screen, I still end up with Klippy host attempting to connect error. Seems that an upgrade to the Bootloader is required and included on the usb stick. But it's a lot to do that.
So I just bought a Sonic Pad to use with Elegoo Neptune 3, only to realize that most people will use it with Creality printers 😂 I was wondering if you have another video for those using the Sonic Pad with other printers? Love how in depth you went with everything. Keep up the great work! 💯💯💯
😂 You can always use the "thanks" button under this video or any follow up video - thank you! When I have time I'll be reviewing the FLSUN Speeder Pad - and will try and see if I can get the FLSUN SR working well on the Sonic Pad.
For the anycubic kobra printer, this solution will not start right out of the box and without intervention, since the resistors need to be soldered in the anycubic kobra printer itself, only after that the clipper will work correctly. The thing is that anycubic kobra decided to normally put different drivers for the axes - TMC2209 clones and TMC2208 extruder on one UART, but did not take into account that the TMC2208 will have the address 0, as well as on the X axis. Therefore, it is necessary to solder the address of the driver X from 0 to 3. Solder the resistors R65 to R66. Soldering resistors is fraught with the fact that if we fail to solder, we can disable the board. Personally, I don't use a clipper, I don't see the need for it. I don't work for a client, I'm a user and I don't print that often and I don't need high print speed and super high print quality. I use an octoprint that perfectly controls the printer completely. I bought a mini pc SZBOX T5 Pro (intel 3305 processor, 6gb of memory, 64gb of space is a lot, I only have 6.8 gigs of space occupied), installed Debian 11, docker, portainer, lifted the octoprint in the docker, threw the camera, integrated the octoprint into the Home Assistant, which allowed me to automate printer management as by means of a smart home, and through a voice assistant. I can stop, start and pause the print with my voice, replace the filament, park the extruder, and photos and videos are sent to me by telegram if I'm not at home. If I'm at home, then I'll forgive my voice assistant to display the image on any TV and I can see how printing is going. If I'm not at home or I went to bed and the printer finished printing, then the printer turns itself off.I also set up automatic printer warm-up via the voice assistant, although I prescribed warm-up in gcode, but this is not enough, since for good printing you need to warm up the platform for 5-10 minutes, then the filament will stick perfectly to the platform
Are there instructions anywhere to show how to access the sonic pad remotely? The video mentions it can't be done without extra work, but doesn't say what that extra work entails.
I also upgraded my S1 pro to the sonic pad, I am amazed by the speed and the quality. The only problem I have is the z-seam. It is really ugly and messes up some of my prints compared to the marlin firmware.
Just change your z-seam position so it's the same as you had with the previous profiles before your switched - this is a slicer issue nothing to do with using the Sonic Pad.
If you have a Sonic Pad - what do you think of it? And if you’re considering getting one, please feel free to ask any questions down below. I read every comment and will do my best to respond, perhaps even in a follow up video!
Just received my sonic pad yesterday. I have a cr10 v3 and the support surrounding installing klipper on this model specifically is absolutely horrible 😬 I have watched their "user defined printer firmware compilation guide" for printers that aren't an ender 3. Understandably they can't provide step by step instructions for all 3d printer models but I honestly would have expected more support for at least their line of printers. Advertising this as a "plug and play" for Creality printers feels like a lie for people like myself who have never used klipper before.
you need to pin this to the top so people see it.....

thanks for the written review and this video. my sonic pad didn't recognize logitech c210 webcam when plugged in. do you know there any workaround to make it work?
I dont know what unit you got but mine is trash. Sorry to but you must have got a great unit. I have destroyed PEI sheet because the Z offset calibration just crashed into the bed even though I followed the directions. This was all on initial setup.
great video, so can you control your flsun with the sonic pad? i'm switching to klipper my delta printers but by specs i definitely like the sonic pad rather than the speeder pad, what do you think?
If you get a Cura crash error that keeps popping up after you installed Moonraker it probably has to do with the extra /# at the end of the IP address used
Thanks for the great tutorial, Can you tell us if it is necessary to open configuration file for saving resonance test values or the Sonic Pad does that itself? Thanks in advance
Nice video ... great job on the presentation! I'm sold, amazon says the sonic pad will arrive tomorrow. I'll be ecstatic if it really cuts s1 pro print time by 50% or more. Can't wait to try it out!
No problem glad it helped! Sending prints wirelessly is still one of the most useful features! I can do that with my Octoprint printers - but then lose some of the direct printer control you get with the pad.
Great Video which helped me setting up my sonic pad. Unfortunately, it won't let me connect to the printer over the rear USB ports. I have to use one of the ones on the side. Is anyone having a solution for this?
I copied the end code for my s1 pro directly from creality, but the extruded just sits on top of the print at 99% instead of moving out of the way and presenting the finished print forward
Just have my Sonic Pad and finding out features. One thing to come my mind, that there can be cheaper version without screen and configures trought web-interface. Or why there is no printer where is klipper already?
There is the FLSUN V400 which already has Klipper and I'm sure there'll be plenty more. Creality could offer something like that - but since Klipper is Open Source - not sure how they could make any money from it.
I have just purchased a Sonic Pad and installed it successfully. I am using an Ender 3 V2 printer with manual leveling. I have done all settings required for Sonic Pad to the extent I have understood from the manual and your RU-vid video. I understand from your video that, for faster printing, I have to set higher print speed in Ultimaker Cura. I am using 5.2.1 version. My question, what maximum print speed can be set for printing with PLA with no loss of quality?
Check the link in the description - Creality have added many printers to the Sonic Pad since my review. I'll hopefully being doing a follow up video soon.
Thank you for this amazing review. It really helped me with the decision to buy the sonic pad. So far i love it. Even without any changes to cura profiles my prints are coming in faster. I do have a question though. At higher speeds i'm experiencing a lot of extruder skipping and in a larger print a blockage. Should i buy a larger nozzle to fix this or is there another way? My current nozzle is the standard 0.4mm. I've tried printing at different temperatures, between 200 and 220°C so i don't think the hotend is too cold. I'm also waiting for a direct extruder, at the moment I have the stock bowden one. Maybe that will solve the problem.
@@TheTechnologyMan yeah, sorry. It's an ender 3 pro. We'll see when the new extruder arrives. I've noticed it starts skipping when printing infill. That's also when the speed picks up.
I ordered the sonic pad it will be here in December. I'm new to 3d printing. I see you set up temps, retraction, print speed and settings in cura, but you also can set them on the ender software. Just confused on that part. On how that works.
Hey I have watched this video and set up printer and sonic pad. I am having an issue where after it homes and starts a print it prints that starter line off the left side of bed and then starts to print project off center to the left… Any chance for some help on how to resolve this issue?? Thanks in advance
I tried to import the cura profiles as you mentioned in the video. Still, I got an error saying that the quality type "fast" is not compatible with the active machine definition "creality_base'. Did that occur to you?
Mines on order I am hoping I can connect it my original Ender 3, I have a silent board fitted in it but can’t recall what it is, not sure if it’s 8 bit or 32 bit. Thinking that if it’s the 8 bit board I could replace it with the S2 board and that should work. Will look closer at it when I get the sonic pad. Don’t fancy trying setting it up as a non creality printer as klipper is just too much for me. Built a Voron 6 months ago and gave up on it.
I haven't tried it with my Ender 3 yet. I don't think it will be too bad getting it working with a Creality printer. There are config files available on Github and should be lots of support available when more people have the pads.
Hello I am running a V2 / mriscoc / sprite ,, my question is can I run the Sonic pad with mriscoc or would I have to revert to original software or install klipper
If you use the "normal" profile (not fast) supplied for Cura results are pertty good out the box. For faster prints you'll probably want to do some basic configuration as I show in the video - ie the X and Y resonance measurements and the pressure advance. It's sounds much more complex than it is.
I have the first 3S1 and added the Sprite Pro Extruder (along with the light bar and bed insulation). When setting up the Sonic Pad, should I choose 3S1 or 3S1 Pro ? I also noticed that there were a couple of choices for each of those printers. How do we know which one we have?
How do I import the sonic pad profile into cura I tried with the instructions and failed can you please make a video or point me In the right direction thank you. I have the ender 3s1
I have followed your video as I also have an S1 Pro + SonicPad. One thing I am missing after going from Octoprint is notifications when print is complete. Maybe you have an idea how to get such plugin working for the SonicPad?
Is pressure advance possible on the Ender 3 v2 boards (4.2.2 and 4.2.7)? Or is it the same case as linear advance on those boards, namely a no-go due to the silent stepper motors? Excellent introduction to the Sonic Pad, BTW!
@@TheTechnologyMan Thank you very much for getting back to me. Having not long upgraded to a Mosquito and Bondtech combo the 160 quid required is a little elusive at the moment. But this additional bit of information means that the Sonic Pad is now definitely in my cross hairs.
Is this in Cura? Extensions, Post Processing and Modify G-Code. I cover this briefly in the video but the manual also shows you how to enable in other slicers.
