You can easily just put a WiFi/Bluetooth/Z-wave relay (Shelly,Heltun etc.), or your existing power DIN rail or inside your printer accordingly. The existing power switch is rewired as just an Input to the relay, and the relay controls the printer power. Functionally it's exactly the same as before except that you can also remotely power it on/off. Klipper can now send an API call to turn off its own power! Viola. Very clean. Mine is a high load relay for my voron 2. For added safety, It is configured to independently power off the machine if it's own thermistor or measured current draw exceed configured thresholds.

@ChrisRiley 7 месяцев назад

Very cool, I am going to get one to play with.

@hugovanoeveren3067 2 года назад

Always a pleasure to hear and see your videos on RU-vid. Careful that the hot and neutral wires change if you just put the plug in the wall outlet reversed. So the relay isn't always switching the hot wire. The circuit still works okay. But don't count on the neutral in the box, being the neutral of you wall outlet.

Great info. This is something that has been on my to do list but I hadn't got around to looking into. I use Raspberry Pi Zero's running Klipper and it should be possible to control a BTT relay board from that allowing me to switch on and off the printer. The Pis are independently powered from the printers and I don't mind them being always on. Cheers.

@kazolar 3 года назад

I've been using a small 4 relay module that can be connected to a pi. I don't even like neutral going to the printer when it's off, so I break both hot and neutral, and on big machines I have the AC bed on the other 2 relays, since those 4 relay boards are dirt cheap, and it's super easy to send a gpio command to toggle it - it's really simple to get the basics working, I do more creative control that when octoprint says the job is done it starts a 20 minute timer which I can cancel by manually canceling it or by starting another print, if the timer wasn't canceled, the machine is turned off, and turned off like it's not even plugged in, all relays are turned off, so hot and neutral are disconnected. Been using this on all of my machines, if you're using octorpint these relay boards are like $5-6, i buy them in 2 packs, they're useful for various other projects

@ChrisRiley 3 года назад

@justin3594 2 года назад

How about just using a time delay relay and a CT switch. Time delay relay will cut power to the printer after an adjustable time. The CT switch (adjustable current level), would be set to open the signal to the time delay relay when the printer is idling.

@ChrisRiley 2 года назад

That sounds like a great setup. I wonder what the cost would be?

@justin3594 2 года назад

@@ChrisRiley very cheap. Maybe 30 bucks total

@OldCurmudgeon3DP 3 года назад

Great video, Chris. Well done. Makes the tinkerer in me feel good. Depending on the price, I may do this for the V-minion if I ever get the chance to build one. Not for the exact reason in the video though..... My Ender 3 Pro + rPi 3b consumes 15VA/9W when idle. Most of that is the Pi. The Meanwell PSU has a horrible power factor; usually around 0.6. My power rate last month was $0.11/kWHr. For 30 days that comes to.... *drumroll* 9*24*30/1000*0.11 for a monthly grand total of (yes, I'm adding this for the first time) $0.08. You're not going to save a lot of power or $ with this device.... BUT, as others have already mentioned (I'm late watching the video sadly) you can add a measure of safety to the printer by having it or a smart switch on the mains. I have Home Assistant monitor the temps from Octoprint and if they go above (or below) a certain value HA triggers the switch to turn off. I added this for that possibility that TRP tries to kick in and instead of a loose thermistor it's a dead mosfet. TRP can do nothing in that situation. When mosfets fail, they usually fail in the ON state and the firmware trying to turn one OFF is fruitless. It's not a perfect solution, but it adds an extra layer of protection for a budget board.

Not sure if it needs a capacitor module to work with this too, anyway great content and this video is well set out and easy to follow as always. :)

@lortnokmeister 2 года назад

Hello Chris, Thanks a lot for the video, I really like your solution and the fact that it is not relied on a wifi network. I am planning to add an enclosure heater to ramp-up the ambient temp to 50C so I can print abs hopefully warp-free. I need to use this extra heater because I also vent the fumes outside through filters. Since I have a minix mini pc (ubuntu) hooked-up to my Prusa mk3s I am wondering if I could use your solution and control the BIGTREETECH Relay with the EinsyRambo? So when the printer finished printing it would turn the psu and the heater off.

@ChrisRiley 2 года назад

You should have a couple extra pins on the Einsy, but it might be tricky to edit the firmware to work with this. You could flash Marlin and make it work.

@beauregardslim1914 3 года назад

Yes, most of us are running uncertified printers, but you are probably better off using something UL listed to do this. TP-Link Kasa units are $10, don't need cloud integration, and already work with Octoprint. Still an interesting build. Thanks for the vid. Subbed.

I was getting ready to chime in on the end gcode, but you stole my thunder. LOL. I use the R90 option before turning off my Z stepper as I've had issue in the past with small prints and the Z dropping while the nozzle was at temp. Klipper lets me disable steppers independently so I turn off X & Y after presenting the bed forward. The M106 to help cool the hotend faster is something I've been doing since last year.

@RickyImpey 2 года назад

Hi, I did this using octoprint and a similar power relay of my own design. I can remotely switch my PSU on and off and, using the 'Enclosure' Plugin, can have the printer shutdown when the print ends and cools down. I didn't have to change anything on the printer which worked for me. If I hadn't done this already then your option seems neat and I probably would have considered it, thanks. I also created an overheat safety system that automatically kills all power to the printer if any component starts to get too warm. Have a look on my channel if you're interested. Thanks again for the great content.

@ChrisRiley 2 года назад

Very nice! I want to do a similar setup to yours with Octoprint very soon.

@heroflying 3 года назад

Why not just use an Octoprint plugin with a smart plug like a TP-Link Kasa smartplug. Then Octoprint can shut the printer off in case of thermal runaways. These smartplugs are like $10-20. You can set this up in less than 10 minutes without any special wiring or anything. It can even power your printer on automatically when you send it a print job.

@ChrisRiley 3 года назад

That would work too!

@spedi6721 3 года назад

@apollyon7573 3 года назад

This is what I do because you can set it to shut off if there are errors too.

@eatyourvegfpv 3 года назад

I just use a really cheap smart plug, that connects to my phone over wifi and I set a timer for an extra fifteen minutes after the print is due to finish so it just cuts power. I also have a baby monitor camera that connects over wifi too so if I'm not confident the print has finished, I can just check the camera on my phone before turning the plug off from my phone too. Cost very little and I don't have to mess with the printer at all.

@ChrisRiley 3 года назад

That's great! Thanks for watching!

@dangerous8333 2 года назад

@wojciechowskibm Год назад

Great video, I got myself btt relay 1.2. had some trouble to make it working - the wires were mixed so after but after all it is doing great job turning of printer after print is completed. I have a set up with Octopi running my printer so I have added shout down g-code in Cura. Now I am wondering how could I use "OctoPi" "PSU Control" plugin + "PSU Control - RPi.GPIO" Sub-plugin to flip the power back on using rest sw on relay. On GPIO Pins we have there 5V and GND and reset sw of relay is also 5V and GND. On one hand I am kind of afraid to fry my RPi. On the other hand it would allow to switch on printer 100% remotely - sounds sexy :) Would you have sny advice on the idea. Or maybe that could be a new peace of content on your channel. Love your work.

@ChrisRiley Год назад

Thank you! I think you could make it happen pretty easy by just triggering a GPIO pin. AS you stated, RPi's are so valuable these days I would hate to try it, I wouldn't want to break anything. :)

@TyroneDamShewlaces 3 года назад

Cool solution. You're right, there are a LOT of approaches for power-off. The stuff I need arrived this week so I'm going to take control of my printer power this weekend. I'm electing to use a relay board (arduino style I guess) and control it from an IO pin on the Raspberry Pi since I'm using (and liking!) Octoprint. I've never seen that BTT board before. Thanks for introducing it! You're also correct, anybody doing this needs to heed the words and make sure it's safe. I was even recoiling a bit with you using the terminal clips for the AC being that close together without extra insulation. I'm sure it will be fine, but after a while we do get a reflexive "how can this possibly go wrong" approach on this stuff. A funny saying from where I work: "Overkill saves lives"

@jordanhoch6459 3 года назад

I went with an IOT relay so I didn't have to mess with mains wiring or take apart my printer's electronics. I avoided tplink because a wifi disruption would have been a potential failure point. My relay is controlled by a raspi running a python script that also takes regular temperature measurements inside my enclosure. It's programmed to shut down immediately if the temp exceeds 40C (fire mitigation), and to detect the end of a print when the temp decreases for 10 straight minutes, then wait another 20 minutes (so the hot end cools down) and then shut down. I may add a smoke sensor to trigger a shutdown as well.

How much electricity does a printer actually use when it has finished printing? my end g-code is set up to turn off the nozzle and bed and only have the 24v electronics fan active and I always have my personal assistant set an alarm to notify me of the estimated print time finish so then I look on Octoprint to see if it has finished, I think I would only need this if a print finished while I was sleeping but I try to plan large and long prints so they don't finish in the middle of the night

I also wanted to ask you since the v1 Shark firmware was released are you going to get mainline Marlin or klipper going on your Shark? I know Barry Barker spoke to you about the schematic they provided but I got them to provide a better one and we have the terribly hacked Marlin 1.y firmware source with the pin definitions also. I certainly wish someone with more Marlin experience than I would work on this as well, I'm the only person who has gotten the source they provided to compile using KEIL MDK but honestly the source is terrible and has been hacked to death in a most unprofessional manner and I would rather spend my time bringing up Marlin 2.y and klipper.

With an SKR, say. a mini e3 V2 with a PS on pin, plugged Ito a relay such as the btt 1.2, how would you configure those in Klipper. It uses pin PC13. Would this be a gpio device, or a Klipper device? Just wondering how to define and use them in Klipper, as this seems a cleaner way to do it over running wires to the pi's GPIO.

Heads up: If you live anywhere that uses German sytle Schuko power plugs, you should NOT use this since those do not have polarity protection, so if you plug it in the "wrong" way, you'll have the line on what is labeled as N and the relay will close the connection on the neutral.

This might be useful for someone else:- If when you power this up, after a few seconds the relay clicks and it all goes off, then you do a reset - it powers on - then the relay goes off a few seconds later again = either your thin cable that goes to your controller is disconnected, or in my case the cables pins are wired the wrong way around (ground and signal), which was how the cable arrived.
