<\/p>\nThe selection depends whether you have a BLTouch in combination with that mainboard or not. We’re going to talk about the BLTouch installation in another video. Another thing you need to know is, which mainboard version your printer has. Actually, I did this two times because Creality released new firmware versions during the test period.<\/p>\n

When a new print starts, you may notice that it does a routine in which it goes to its home position before initiating the entire job. After the said routine, the printer only follows the instructions given by the G-Code and actually does not remember any previous notion of the initial position. It just assumes that it correctly homed and that all the following movements were correctly executed. Before getting started, make sure you have Arduino IDE installed on your computer since it will be required in order to compile the firmware.<\/p>\n
If the JRx (single) hot end has been installed, the LCD screen should read \u201cAirwolf HDx Ready\u201d. If the JR2x hot end has been installed, the LCD should read \u201cAirwolf HD2x Ready\u201d. Go into the VIKI and select \u201cPreheat PLA\u201d to test the newly installed hot end. Upgrading your Creality Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro with a BLTouch probe for auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. Additionally, the BLTouch probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies.<\/p>\n
You can create a square and resize it to the dimensions of your buildplate once loaded into the slicer. In order to not wait for the extruder to reach a normal temperature, you can remove the filament and set the initial temperature to a very low value. This will allow your printer to start moving right away.<\/p>\n
It takes advantage of the extra processing power of a Raspberry Pi to precisely control your 3D printer’s movements. The combination of a Pi and a 3D printer’s controller results in faster computation and can help you to achieve printing speeds of more than 150 mm\/s quickly. Klipper is the brainchild of Kevin O’Connor and was first released way back in 2016. This open-source nature has led to tremendous growth and has become a popular 3D printer firmware for hobbyists and professionals. Next, launch the firmware in your Arduino IDE using the Marlin.ino file in the folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
