Ender 3 S1 Pro: so good it begs for Klipper! 3D Printer + Creality Sonic Pad

Рет қаралды 240,215

Жыл бұрын

Ender 3 S1 Pro is the Top 3D Printer of the Ender 3 Line. Klipper might be a better fit than Marlin for this printer. Luckily, the Sonic Pad makes Klipper very easy to install on Creality Printers.

100% this is a big turning point in 3d printing. Machines are all feeling the same now so the only way to go is speed! 40 hour prints need to be a thing of the past.

@GeekDetour Жыл бұрын

Klipper will push things in a very flexible direction - and it will evolve very fast because most of the firmware is programmed in Python (that is so much easier and fast to program than C++).

@rickybobbyracing9106 Жыл бұрын

I got one - my first printer and I love it. Sadly I think many folks got into printing in the past, and jumped out due to the learning curve, and while there is still one here, it seems this printer is much easier to get started with. I've since hooked up an old PC to it and am running klipper - that made all the difference in the world. Being able to upload files and monitor from my phone or another computer has been amazing.

@GeekDetour Жыл бұрын

Hi Ricky. This same monitoring and ability to upload and print straight from the slicer is also possible running OctoPrint with Marlin - and works quite good. Anyway, I think Klipper is the next mainstream firmware, so, you are in the right direction!

I did the Sprite Pro Extruder head on my 3v2 and it was totally worth it. I also did dual Z with sync belt/wheel and light. All aftermarket but now I basically have an S1 now lol. I love it. Put professional firmware on it and now it's pretty much everything I wanted.

@brianswille Жыл бұрын

@@GeekDetour Can't wait to see another video on this. Also added the creality filament runout sensor on a pivot, thingiverse, but I would probably have gotten the aftermarket one that uses 2 screw pattern that is meant to mount on it. For the dual z sync pulleys I did 60teeth and a 696x6 mm belt but it was too small and binds higher up so I am ordering a 700( I think 700 will be spot on) +710mm belts to try. Also the stock lead screws are a little short for the pulleys to mount up top so I would order 400mm (stock is 365)set. Or... like I am going to order a 600mm lead screws(want them to sit higher for pulleys to have room.for mount) and 600mm extrusion, as the long cable for the Sprite Pro and y motor are long enough. I also have the support rod setup to help stabilize the setup. Which I will extend with m6 rod. Along with a new wire to extend the filament sensor. That is the only cable that needs extension. Will be nice to add over 200mm more in height for about $100. But that is only.because the Sprite Pro.comes with such a long cable.Will just need to tap the extrusion and then it will be a straight forward install, update machine limits and done. If you ever want to connect let me know. There's some things I wish I new before doing some of these upgrades and already went on long enough.

I got an Ender 3 S1 Pro second hand and brought it back to life. Awesome printer! I purchased a Sonic Pad to go with it, and it is absolutely worth it. Sonic Pad comes preinstalled with Fluidd, and Creality even gives you a root SSH login, so you could swith to Mainsail if you wanted to. I also have a Bigtreetech Pad 7 for another printer, and it's no where near as polished as the Sonic Pad.

@GeekDetour so I have a question about klipper, is the firmware only on the sonic pad or rasberry pie (if used instead), or is the firmware of the printer changed as well? Just a bit confused if you could just unplug the sonic pad or rasberry pie and have it run on stock marlin.

@GeekDetour Жыл бұрын

Hi Tyler! Klipper has 2 big parts: all the software that runs on the Pi/Linux PC/Pad/whatever - and that’s what you interact with to use the printer, using a Web Browser. And there is also the part that runs on the Printer board. And, yeah, it replaces Marlin. Once you install Klipper you cannot run Marlin. But if you regret moving to Klipper, you can always flash Marlin back to your printer - it is just not convenient to swap from Marlin to Klipper and vice-versa. I wish there was an initiative to “combine” both and you could select which one you liked, when you turn on your printer, for example. I heard from a few guys that they keep 2 SDCards ready for switching firmware - I never tried doing that. In practice, people that move to Klipper tend to stick to it.

@GeekDetour 10 ай бұрын

Hi there! Thank you and welcome to the channel 🤗 Almost one year later, I can say I used the Ender 3 S1 Pro a LOT and I still stand saying it is an excellent printer - the price, now, should go lower to be competitive since there are incredible new printers out there. About the Sonic Pad: it bothers me that the source code has not been openly published - it is a Fork from Klipper and the good practice would be keeping it open. And if it was open, the community could be way faster to fix the problem that the product faced than just by Creality alone. Overal, mine worked great - but I would be lying if I said I never had a problem. In fact, in two occasions I had prints that simply stopped printing (like, a 1/3 of spool for the trash) with a completely nonsense error message. On the first time I tried it again and the print had the same fate. 🤬 Months later, when something similar happened, I just moved to the Neptune 3 Pro (that uses Marlin). Since then I never printed big things with the Sonic Pad - just small parts. Maybe I should burn Marlin back… 🤷‍♂️😬 It is a pity the world spins so fast now… everybody expect you to get a printer and publish a review in two weeks tops… it is impossible to spot all problems so fast. If you are enjoying your Ender on Marlin, be happy. No need to change just because. I have Klipper on a different machine and I love it - but I am just using the AnkerMake M5C that runs on Marlin - and it is INSANELY fast.

Hi Dab! 3D Printing has some learning involved. Printers today are much easier: auto-bed leveling helps a lot, the PEI sheet also helps a lot - but there is the eccentric nuts adjustment, z-offset, keeping the bed clean (otherwise prints won’t stick). Be prepared to learn what you must learn to use it. Other than that, lots of fun waiting for you 🤗

Hey, it's me and I brought a CR10 SE recently and I also own an Ender 3 S1 pro, and in my opinion CR10 SE is like an upgraded version of Ender 3 S1 pro with a more capable firmware "Klipper", which gives CR10 SE the capability to go at 600mm/s lightning speed and still maintaining descent print quality, which is somehow mind blowing for a bed slinger, also with some hardware upgrades for running at high speeds. That sounds too good in paper but in reality, for achieving such high speeds without compromising with the print quality, we need more complex and capable algorithms (like which Klipper uses, input shaping, pressure advance, z-offset ,etc) which is totally fine but with more complexity comes more challenges which is a matter of concern especially for beginners, also in my experience with both of these printers I have suffered a lot with my CR10 SE (especially in terms of print quality) as compared to my Ender 3 S1 pro, which prints slowly and uses marlin but offers me much higher print quality, sometimes input shaping doesn't works correctly and my print shows ghosting or ringing which is quiet annoying, especially if you want that print for some decoration or simply if you want it as you sliced, and in that case your precious filament which costs many dollars get simply wasted, and yeah if you guessed it why, then you are right, "because of speed" which Klipper provides and not merlin, I know speed is also important but in my opinion not as important as print quality, and if you agree with this, please help us by contributing some more content related to this topic on, "how to gain better print quality even at high speeds", also thanks to it's open source nature that we can tune it's algorithms as per our needs. As Klipper is becoming mainstream and more and more people were getting into this, our effort towards it provides significant value to our community and helps our "makers of tomorrow", contributing towards better. #GeekDetour

Hi Janet! Is it your first 3D Printer? You can learn a LOT, print thousands of things and have a bunch of fun with the Ender 3 S1 Pro the way it comes, without going Klipper. Marlin has a larger user base and it is easier to get answers for any question than Klipper right now. I am loving Klipper and the Sonic Pad is great - but again, I have some mileage with the hobby already and I missed a couple of things in the Marlin that came on the S1 Pro (as I explained in the video). I don’t see how you would regret buying the Sonic Pad - but maybe it can wait a bit while you explore everything your printer already can do.

Great stuff you are sharing there, very well explained, really pleasant to watch and learn from your videos. Printing with Klipper Sonic Pad can increase highly print speed, up to 160mm/s keeping great quality. What do you think of this standard basic aluminium heat block? It does the job at a certain point. What about improving the heat sink and heat block to increase the melting zone, meaning the material flow too? I created a plug and play kit in this matter, zero tool heat set swap, copper heat block and conical nozzle for increased thermal efficiency and flow, only need tester to confirm the improvements... :)

Love the video. I am looking at buying an Elegoo Neptune Pro 3 (maybe plus). How does this printer compare?

@GeekDetour Жыл бұрын

Hi Joshua! Elegoo sent me both the N3Pro and the N3Plus to review - I am late in launching these videos… Here is the thing: it is very hard to beat the price on the new Neptune 3 lineup, very good printers, good firmware, it is a solid purchase. IMPORTANT: the Plus and the MAX are not printers for beginners, they take much more space, will print slower (it is a heavier moving bed), calibration is a bit harder, so you need to ask yourself if printing BIG is a need. The Sprite Extruder from Creality is really, really good - if you are willing to pay the premium price, buying the Ender 3 S1 or S1 Pro gets you the best extruder. Elegoo’s new extruder is also good. It is an excellent product for the money. So, there are no wrong purchases here, if you have the money. If you are on a budget or prefer to use part of the money to buy lots of filament colors, the Elegoo N3 Pro is a very good choice. Did it help? Or made it worst? 🤣

Hello, Thank you for this video. But I have 2 problems. First the colling fan for the filament coming out the nozle is lower ( closer to the bed ) as the nozle it self. So the paper method to level is not working. As far as I see the fan can not be adjusted, now what? Secondly as a print start the extruder ( and so all that has to be close to the bed ) goes up for more ore less like 5 to 6 mm. Result lost filament. HELP PLEASE.

Hi there! Are you sure the whole print head is not loose? I mean, when you grab it with your hand, it should move from left to right and nothing else, no up and down or twisting… If it has other movements, the eccentric nut is loose (so that explains the fan hitting the bed). Oh, I am pretty sure you can adjust the fan a little bit in either case. It is mounted with screws! Hope you can adjust everything and have it working soon!

Thanks Mark! The first big step is assembling and adjusting the mechanics correctly - nothing should wobble and yet the wheels shouldn’t be super tight. Belts should be well tensioned (of course there is a sweet spot tension).

There is no magic slicing settings that compensate for a wobbly printer.

Yeah, ZHop is a controversy feature, right? Some people don’t like it - I actually do. All my profiles have ZHops.

Hi there! So, the TouchScreen of the S1 Pro gets completely useless (it stays black) after you install your Sonic Pad - everything will be done on the Sonic Pads screen or on the WebInterface on your computer. The “conversion” is: you chose the printer on Sonic Pads screen… if will write an SD Card for you… that SDCard you insert on your 3D Printer… power on… it will be flashed “Klippy” (the part of Klipper that runs on the printer’s board). That’s all. Your printer will always need the Sonic Pad - it won’t run Marlin anymore (you could flash Marlin back if you want… but you get it: you don’t have both ways at the same time). Fusion 360 is great! Go for it!

I only need one to fire a high/low signal to my arduino nano😭

@GeekDetour 4 ай бұрын

My goodness, these are the questions I also want answered for a few projects of mine. The hard part is that the Printer boards are very specific… So far I understand that, when you compile Klipper (the part that is compiled, that runs on the MCU), all the pins are mapped - but which is which you need to try to find on the board documentation (some are very well documented, some are not). Also, the boards might not expose / break out all the MCU pins into connectors for you to use. I don’t know in the case of the Ender 3 S1 Pro, how many extra pins are available, besides the ones the printer used. In the case of the ribbon, if there are unnused ones, that can be useful - BUT, the challenge might be how to connect whatever you want to both sides. MAYBE IT IS an easier approach to connect an extra MCU via USB to the Rasbberry Pi you might want to use to install Klipper, and use Macros and GCode to enable/disable pins on that extra MCU. The Sonic Pad might not be the best Klipper Host for a tinkerer like you. A Raspberry Pi gives you more flexibility.

@GeekDetour Жыл бұрын

There are a few differences - mostly structural: the Ender 5 S1 is more rigid and it promises faster speeds with less artifacts. This is because of the “cubic” frame and the fact that the print bed doesn’t move on the Y axis (it goes down as the print progresses). This is particularly nice for printing BIG, heavy parts.

@goawaybaizuo Жыл бұрын

My first printer was an S1 (non pro) and the bed was horribly warped. Creality told me they couldn't do anything through warranty (told me "no bed is perfectly level" and mine was "withing spec"). Ultimately they suggested I buy another bed or stack supports under the plate to raise the warp.. I was super disappointed and sold it for a huge loss. I received my Carbon X1 a month ago and my Ankermake m5 is on the way. So, I would love to see some videos on those two printers.

Hi there! There is some truth on what they said: no bed is really flat. A few months ago I reviewed the Elegoo Neptune 3 - it is a solid bed with no adjustments whatsoever, it was a bit warped at the back (almost 1mm)… but in the end it prints perfectly because of mesh-bed-leveling. My first Ender 3 had a terribly dip in the center (around 1mm as well), but back then, it didn’t have BLTouch or 3DTouch… I used glass for a while (it helped a lot), but later I took it off and I used an Orbital Sander to make it as flat as I could. I got it around 0.1 of deviation, which is very acceptable. And finally, with 3DTouch I never have level problems. I don’t have an Ankermake or a Carbon X1 - maybe one day they send me one of those to review 😄
