On this page, I will attempt to cover all things Klipper giving you the tips and tricks I’ve found setting it up on multiple printers and helping people get their printers configured. This is a living document that will be updated as needed.
Where can I find all the answers?
In the Klipper Documentation
How can I wait for the chamber to heat up before starting my print?
Add an enclosure thermistor and set it up. My setup looks like this:
[temperature_sensor enclosure_sensor]
sensor_type: NTC 100K beta 3950
sensor_pin: PF5
min_temp: 10
max_temp: 100
Add the following in your PRINT_START:
#Turn on the bed heater
M190 S{params.BED}
#Wait for the chamber to get hot
TEMPERATURE_WAIT SENSOR=“temperature_sensor enclosure_sensor” MINIMUM={params.CHAMBER|default(0)}
Then, make sure you Superslier Start G-Code includes the following:
CHAMBER=[chamber_temperature]
You can use your hot-end thermistor to wait for the chamber to come up to temperature. To do this, replace the TEMPERATURE_WAIT_SENSOR line above with:
TEMPERATURE_WAIT SENSOR=extruder MINIMUM={params.CHAMBER|default(0)}
Note:
To make this all work, you need to set your timeout to something higher than default.
How can I make Klipper wait to heat-soak the chamber?
Add a dwell command after you start the bed heater:
# Command is G4 P<milliseconds>, so the command below waits for 10 minutes
G4 P600000
Can I make my cabinet fan run at a different speed?
Add the following to your [controller_fan] section:
max_power: .5 # max is 1, minimum is 0
