Anyone on here tried Klipper on an SKR Mini E3 v3?

Want to make my Ender 3 faster and better, this, appears to fit the bill.
Hoever I've never touched a Pi before, so wondering its actually worth the messing...
 
klippers all good, got it on my ender 5.
I would suggest that it lets you run it faster. but it may not be able to run faster.
if you've changed other stuff to make it better then you can make use of those enhancements.
 
Well its an Ender 3 Pro, SKR Mini E3 v3, Minimus cooling, bi-metal heatbreak, extruder head changed for an all metal one, Capricorn boden, think that's about it..

I ordered a Pi5 8Gb starter kit, then ordered a Klipper Pad 7 as well..

i am in the process of swapping my creality 4.2.2 board to skr mini..
easy thing to do.. the difference is i already have PI with klipper just upgrading the board.
plenty videos on the internet

Yeah I've watched a load, waiting for the Pad 7 to turn up, I've got the Klipper'd version of the Raspberry Pi OS on a card that I had laying around so I could keep the stock Pi SD card as it was, but its been one of those weeks so I haven't gotten around to actually connecting it to the printer at this point...

You'll have to let me know how you get on with it, tbh its probably about time I just replaced the Ender with something like a P1P for the amount I've spent on it, its very much like Trigs' Broom at this point...
 
Well klipper is the best thing you can do do your ender.. Even if not for speed.. But so much easier to use Web interface. Send prints. Monitor your printer
 
Being able to send stuff to the printer without having to mess with sd cards will be a big thing, then at least I can remote start prints when the missus has finished her work calls in the morning as the printer is in the 'office' at home and having it on, while keeping the room warm, limits what I can print
 
One of the great things for ender is screw tilt calculate. You can measure 4 corners of the bed where screws underneath the bed are. It will tellyou how much and which way to turn the knob to level the bed. No more paper leveling
 
oh yes.. cameras are nice..
you will also have a full history of your prints.. easier managment of the files uploaded ..
even without to much tinkering you can increase your speeds to something decent...
 
So, Pad7 is setup and currently running PID tuning...

The Pi5 I bought, no idea what I'm gonna use that for now, the case and NVMe expansion for it haven't arrived yet, slow boat from China and all that..


Think the PAD will do everything I need it to for now, I much prefer using the Pad to using Octoprint as well.
Think I'll wire the Pad into the printers PSU, rather than having to power it separately.

Once its finished its PID I'll chuck a simple print at it, and then I'll start messing with the accelerometer and input shaper...
 
So, PID done, input shaper done, printed a CHEP cube, smooth as a babys' arse...

Going to start messing with flow rates n stuff now and see how fast it will go while still printing well enough...
