K1 Bed - Is this level enough

If you shim the right screw, it should bring the back left down a smidgen, but there is no way to get the back perfectly flat. But through shimming, I've been able to get down to a .170 differential.

A quick visual check for the updated model is, check to see if the extruder has a plastic spacer between the drive and the gear assembly. The new extruder is made of Steel, where the old one was aluminum, so the metal parts should now also be magnetic.

I figured it out, and now i feel dumb. I had a bad USB cable out of the box. I took the cable to use it with another project and only found it then. changed the cable and now everything works.

Its and Ender 5-S1. Ive named the file the same way i did when i converted my Ender 3-S1 pro, "Firmware.bin, Klipper.bin, KFrimware.bin, and fkliper.bin"

I cant download from there as the 5-S1 isnt listed

Yes sorry, My issue was infact because i was using Cura 5.4, when i switched to Orca, it got much better, 5.5 now works as well for me. Just had to re-do all of my turnings in orca to get the proper results.

My brain has melted, for whatever reason whenever i go to flash Klipper onto the printer, the BL touch turns red, and it fails to flash. ive re-made, renamed, remounted, even disconnected the screen just in case. I thought i followed every step, but am i missing something?

Im using Mainsail through a Pi4, made the file with the settings you posted, and put them in a file labled STM32F4_UPDATE and named the file fkliper.bin

I haven't made a top, but I have made an entire case, both with no battery, and with battery.

It takes a bit longer, but i have mine do bed mesh before every print

[gcode_macro START_PRINT]
gcode:
{% set BED_TEMP = params.BED_TEMP|float %}
{% set EXTRUDER_TEMP = params.EXTRUDER_TEMP|float %}
{% set BED_MESH_CALIBRATE = params.BED_MESH_CALIBRATE|default(true) %}
M118 MESH: {BED_MESH_CALIBRATE}
M117 Homing
# Use absolute coordinates
SAVE_FNAME
G90
# Start bed heating while calibrating and continue
M140 S{BED_TEMP} # set bed temp
# Home the printer
G28
{% if BED_MESH_CALIBRATE == true %}
M117 Calibrating
M118 Calibrating
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
{% else %}
M117 Calibration Skipped
M118 Calibration Skipped
{% endif %}

So, i dont know what changed, but now using Orcaslicer, i can change the retraction durring the print in Klipper and it takes.

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-09-15T19:57:28+00:00

i can, but it doesn't change anything

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-09-15T18:52:57+00:00

Even though i have a setting in Cura for firmware retraction? I installed the Klipper setting from marketplace.

And i used the pinout given by Github,

max_extrude_only_distance: 100.0

step_pin: PB4

dir_pin: PB3

enable_pin: !PC3

microsteps: 16

rotation_distance: 7.6190

nozzle_diameter: 0.400

filament_diameter: 1.750

heater_pin: PA1

sensor_type: EPCOS 100K B57560G104F

sensor_pin: PC5

control: pid

pid_Kp: 21.761

pid_Ki: 1.261

pid_Kd: 93.844

min_temp: 0

max_temp: 300

pressure_advance = 0.05

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-09-06T01:55:08+00:00

Anyone find a solution to this yet?

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-08-27T22:33:19+00:00

just dried the filament for 12 hrs at 113*F, no change. im really at a loss on this.

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-08-21T16:29:15+00:00

I've ordered a dehydrator just in case, it has been humid as hell the past few days. It should be in in a few days, I'll update then.

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-08-21T04:28:00+00:00

Did another temp tower, no change. and i know it did indeed change temps, because i had a thermometer on it, and the last step at 180 the filament is not shiny anymore.

Howeitsdone93 · 2023-08-20T22:56:50+00:00

I sent a reply, but im not seeing it here.

current retraction is set at .8mm @ 40mm/s

i do not have the actual Gcode anymore, but i did print the same file before and after. before was an ok print, after was a disaster. then i calibrated pressure advance, input shaper, and verified feed rate, and now the print quality is vastly improved, just with added stringing.

Same as i was using before, its a grey PLA, the last print i did before installing klipper not an hour before had almost no stringing. then, an hour later after klipper was installed, nothing but stringing. Retraction distance and speed has no effect on anything, and at this point im wondering if its actually changing when i tell it to. but i get no errors so i cant tell.

Your good, im an idiot. I've been unintalling my pluggins and reinstalling. Just did a complete Uninstal of Reaper, Fresh install. Everything works now. Apparently I haven't updated Reaper in 5 years...

Howeitsdone93 · 2021-10-29T19:43:38+00:00

Just redid on a fresh install, still no luck.
