How to Install Klipper on Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro: Config and Setup

Latest 3DPrintBeginner Articles

here’s how I fixed this

nano ~/klipper/src/stm32/Kconfig

scroll down to

##############
# Bootloader
#############

look for this part

    config STM32_FLASH_START_4000
        bool "16KiB bootloader (HID Bootloader)" if MACH_STM32F207  || MACH_STM32F401 || MACH_STM32F4x5 || MACH_STM32F103 || MACH_STM32F072

remove the MACH_STM32F401 || so it doesn’t detect 16KiB for our board

will look like this

    config STM32_FLASH_START_4000
        bool "16KiB bootloader (HID Bootloader)" if MACH_STM32F207  || MACH_STM32F4x5 || MACH_STM32F103 || MACH_STM32F072

then save (ctrl + x, Y, ENTER)
then run

make menuconfig

and you can now change it to 64KiB

then

make

you’re all set.

So I needed to change the name from the bin file from klipper.bin to firmare.bin

After that the printer connected to klipper.

23

This is caused by Klipper being too old as far as I remember.
Updating Klipper should solve this.

hi all,

I followed this you tube tutorial and then I get stuck when having to connect Printer to Mainsail. just does not want to connect , followed all your steps in this tutorial and getting beyond frustrated. Please help

Hello,
@3DPrintBeginner as you’ve during this process tried both S1 and S1 Pro printers can you advice which I should buy if I’m planning to go with (firmware) customizations? Do I need to pay for touch screen and not be able to use it?
Even if I don’t have a printer yet I’ve already bought S1 Pro All-metal Sprite from Creality (as a spare part at least) so the main upgrade will be possible. I can upgrade led light, filament bearing spool and even bed (I think) if I go with normal S1.
The main thing I’m not happy about S1 Pro is the bottom plastic case which will not allow some further frame upgrades or extensions, for example:
image

Planning to order my first 3D printer it in a very near feature, these days mostly, and a ~$100 is difference in my country so any advice will be helpful.

26

The E3S1 should be good.
But would you really pay 379$ for some extrusions to make the printer bigger? Why not get the E3S1 Plus then?

27

The Extender is just an example for something maybe to do in the future, and when the price become acceptable not now for sure. Extender kit for E3 V2 is now ~$170 which is fine, example as well.
I would go with the E3 S1 Plus model but not possible to order in my country and shipping prices are too high, and other then that will need to wait for a printer who knows how long. Just need to start with some printing soon, as a hobbyist and beginner.
Thank you for a quick reply, I appreciate it and will consider E3S1. :slight_smile:

I was able to install Klipper firmware S1 and get my Mainsail OS running. One thing I can’t fix my hot end is always to low when I start a print and it grinds the print bed. I did all the Z-offset calibrate, mesh leveling and paper tests. It runs through them all and it goes home just fine also. On the stock firmware it never did this. I would share any part of my printer.cfg Any help would be appreciated.

29

I recommend setting the Z offset to 0 in the config, and starting the calibration again. Maybe something got stuck in the config and it’s not updated correctly.

30

Doing some digging on my end. I realized the BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default needs to be added to the GCode to get the print to use my bed level. Does that sound like it could be the issue?

31

I installed Klipper with MainSail on a RP 3 for my Ender-3 S1 Pro with STM32F103 processor. It worked at first, now clipper cant connect to printer. I tried to roll back to original firmware Ender-3s1pro_hw24s1_301_V2.0.8.16F1_F103_LASER_FDM.bin, it wont flash. Did i brick my printer?

32

You need to check your settings for the USB connection.

To revert back, ensure that you rename the firmware correctly. Right now you are trying to flash the laser firmware which is probably wrong.

33

USB on my RP3 is up:

###### Identifying MCU connected via USB ...

 ● MCU #1: usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0

my printer.cfg:

[include mainsail.cfg]
[mcu]
serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
restart_method: command
...

could it be about baudrate? Klipper.log:

About reverting, i have trouble finding the correct stock firmware and procedure, creality.com is not very supportive i think.

34

SOLVED! After another compile and copy to fresh formatted SD as firmware-1.bin, the printer got connected :slight_smile:
Still dont know what i did wrong at first though.

35

This was a good guide. I got my S1 Pro up and running in a couple of hours. Loving Klipper so far. Next need an accelerometer as I’m seeing a fair bit of ringing with the delivered settings (3k/500). Really appreicate you sharing the guide.

36

Doesn anyone know how long it takes a stock stock S1 pro to puke out Benchie? I never bothered with that one and I installed Klipper like 8 days after buying it.

I lost my benchienity today. 51 minutes; 0,2 layer, 3 perimeters and 3 top and bottom layers and 10% infill and PETG. 2 perimeters and 2 layers took 45-48 minutes but deck and roof looked too webby.

Does this look decent and how’s the speed? Whole table wobbles when that sucker goes and it sits on a 40040050mm concrete slab.

37

Just over an hour, with some speedy settings.

The benchy looks good so you might get faster print time if you optimize the slicing settings a bit. 0.5 extrusion width, and eliminate some unnecessary infill addons if you are using Prusa Slicer. Aligning the Z seam will also help.

38

Installed Klipper on my Ender 3 S1 Pro went on great tried the voron test cube came out great on 150mm/s. I switched to some local FilX SBS filament and started seeing some problems. With further investigation, the layer cooling fan does not turn on when set to anything low such as 10%. Seems if I try to put it to 10% on the web UI it also does not spin, when setting it to 100% then back to 10% it keeps spinning. Any ideas what could be causing this issue?

40

Thank you for the great guide. I’m planning on installing Klipper on my S1 Pro. In your guide it mentions that you can use any Raspberry Pi but, I’m wondering if for example the Pi 4 would enable the printer to print faster than a Pi Zero 2 W. What is the bottle neck in this scenario? Is it the Pi or the printer hardware? Assuming that there would be no difference in printer performance using one or the other the smaller form factor might be nice. Thoughts?

41

At this moment, any Pi would work.
I used Klipper on the first Pi Zero which works just fine, so any other PI will perform even better.
Klipper doesn’t have huge resource requirements.
