  Hey just pointing out that the top comment on Amazon says the unit has Klipper firmware that isn't possible to be updated. But a quick google finds this https://www.creality.com/blog/sonic-pad-june-upgrade-built-i…

  It does seem like Creality doesn't do a good job of keeping this updated though. Worth looking into if you're thinking of buying. I haven't looked into it enough as I've already got Klipper running on a rockpi which didn't cost much. I use the remote interface from another PC or on my phone while I'm in the living room, a display at the printer doesn't really help my usecase

  The alternative is to build your own:
  * raspberry pi4 or similar. I used a BTT CB1 + PI4B.
  * 7 inch touch screen compatible with the SBC you choose
  * Microsd for OS
  * your time to learn, download the various images and CFG files then to setup. Was all new to me, figured it out in the end but took a while (though rewarding, similar to learning how to mod your printer).

  If I had to do it all again and didn't value the learning, the sonic pad is much better, polished and easier option, and likely cheaper at this price.

    I think those items all together are not financially viable. The pad integrates all the above; you can just focus on integrating/developing your printer configuration. That said, I need a new hardware setup for a POS ender I picked up for my son on the weekend ($50 special) - I think we will just use a cheaper pi W 2 and an old Android phone for the interface. Probably a little more trouble but it will be a good (and cheaper) learning curve for him.

    I'm sure this unit comes with an accelerometer, too, which will enable the input shaping for the faster printing. This kit is the easiest way to get Klipper running on a creality printer - and the 7 inch screen is awesome to use for an interface.

      It won't have an accelerometer in the kit, you need to attach something like an ADXL345 around the hotend (+Y axis on the print bed if it's Cartesian).

        spiritek on 14/08/2023 - 13:05

        From everything I saw it looks like it includes this

        • 

          Serapis on 14/08/2023 - 16:00

          @spiritek: Accelerometer needs to be on the moving parts and not the tablet itself to work out resonance frequencies.

          I didn't see anything on creality's site about an included part like that and I have a few Sprite Pro extruders on various machines, none of them nor the old mk8 style come with accelerometers. As far as I could see on their site, this is basically a touchscreen tablet with a bundled klipper firmware conversion.

            @Serapis: It has it listed on the Amazon page and the creatlity page that it includes the sensor, it calls it a vibration sensor or a g-sensor in the manual, though it is just a ADXL345 and a cable that hooks up to the sensor port on the sonic pad. If you look up any review/unboxing it will show it too

              @spiritek: Thanks, I stand corrected - an unboxing video confirmed it contains a G-sensor which I assume is the accelerometer

    Or get the BigTreeTech Pad 7, including accelerometer. Just set up my Vyper with it and it's great.

  Also, there's no need to always find a RaspberryPi (they are delicious tho!). Klipper is amazing at offloading processing to any modern ARM or x86 CPU. I have been running two printers on an old Pine A64+ since 2020 (with a USB Hub as it has limited USB Ports & Octoprint, then Klipper in 2021) and another set of printers running on an Udoox86, both from Kickstarter from 2015-2016.

  Get any SBC you have lying around, install a lightweight Linux distro like DietPi and use Kiauh to setup Klipper+Moonraker and either Mainsail (or even more customisable now it's back in dev), Fluidd. Then install MobileRaker to control it outside of the web interface or KlipperScreen.

  If that's all too much, then this might be a nice all in one way - but I've not used this one, we have the V400 FLSun unit but use Fluidd instead.

  PS. Ideally use a USB->SATA and run a cheap/spare SSD instead of a MicroSD. Reliability is important :-) Even in on the Pi, ran the RPi3 for many years on Octoprint with an old IntelSSD via USB, it was slower sure being USB2 but so much easier/reliable.

  I have recently bought this as a package with my Ender 5 S1.
  This is an absolute bargain, if you follow the proper setup process. It's not going to improve much straight out of the box.
  I followed a series of YouTube videos by Ricky Impey and it was easy to understand and is giving great results compared to a friend who has the same printer without the pad.

  If you have been on the fence, now's the time to jump off it.

  Definitely worth it for this money, I've been working with one in an ender 3 v2 for almost a year and it's been getting progressively better.

  One note, it does come with an accelerometer that works just fine with a piece of blutack, don't bother printing mounts.

  Absolutely, right out of the box, before you do anything, start watching the excellent series by Ricky Impey on YouTube. You'll save yourself hours of mucking around

  Would this work with a Kingroon KP5L?

  I currently have a raspberry pi400 and the KP5L has stock firmware on there. Marlin?

  • 

    BewareOfThe Dog on 14/08/2023 - 14:04

    KP3S is on the Github page, so shouldn't take much (I hope). I've just ordered one.

  Lane Myer on 14/08/2023 - 17:56

  Likely a daft question but can you only control one printer with this? I've been looking for a way to control a couple of them without adding a Pi of some sorts to each one.

    You can control up to 4 printers

      Thanks for that!
