O firmware Klipper tem recebido muitos elogios ultimamente devido à sua vasta gama de recursos e desempenho de alta qualidade. Ele também oferece diversas opções de configuração para calibrar sua impressora e produzir impressões 3D de alta qualidade.

Um parâmetro crucial que configuraremos hoje é o ajuste PID da sua impressora 3D. Definir as configurações PID corretas garante que o bico extrusor e a mesa de impressão sejam aquecidos no menor tempo possível e mantenham a temperatura definida com grande precisão.

Este artigo irá guiá-lo pelo processo de calibração PID da sua impressora 3D usando o Klipper. Ele ajudará você a entender melhor essas configurações PID e a solucionar quaisquer problemas de aquecimento com a sua máquina.

Vamos começar a ajustar essas camas e extremidades quentes!

Introduction​

Pressure Advance in Klipper is designed to compensate for the side effects of instant speed changes that occur during fast print speeds. It reduces stringing, gives your prints sharp corners, and delivers a high print quality even at speeds above 100 mm/s.

But tuning pressure advance in Klipper and understanding its functioning can be puzzling to new Klipper users. So, in this article, we’ve gathered all the information you need to know about Pressure advance and set it up in Klipper. It’ll help you understand the benefits of this feature and how you can use it to sharpen up your 3D prints.

Let’s Advance!

Klipper firmware has been around since 2016 in the 3D printing community. It’s free, open-source, and has steadily become a mainstream 3D printing firmware, second only to Marlin.

Yet, Klipper’s earlier versions missed key features like the Octolapse, Exclude objects, and plug-in integration found on Octoprint and Marlin combo. This lack of certain valuable features restricted users from using Klipper as their primary 3D printing firmware.

However, since the recent updates, some of these features are slowly making their way into the Klipper firmware. For example, you can now shoot Octolapse-like videos on your 3D printer using the Klipper timelapse.

Likewise, Klipper now also supports the Exclude objects functionality to rescue you from failed prints. But, it needs some initial setup and configuration, which might be puzzling to new Klipper users.

So, this article will take you through the entire process of setting up Exclude objects for your Klipper 3D printer. We’ll look at this feature in detail and understand how you can use it in your 3D printing workflow.

Let’s exclude the failed prints.

If you are new to 3D printing, we are sure you have encountered numerous print failures. Thankfully, this is not something new or unique. It happens to even the most seasoned users. But obviously everyone wishes to improve their 3D printing skills and so knowledge of 3D printer failure detection becomes essential, and this is exactly what we will cover in this article.

3D printing and failures​

Because 3D printing is rapidly becoming popular in a variety of industries, it is critical that every student, as well as manufacturing and design professionals, understand the technology. Though you may not need to understand its complexities, having a working knowledge will help you in your career.

3D printing is a manufacturing process that converts a digital CAD file into a three-dimensional physical model by layering thin layers of material one on top of the other. This is also known as additive manufacturing because material is added rather than removed, as is the case with most conventional technologies.

However, 3D printing is still in its early stages and thus prone to failure. DIY and desktop 3D printing, in particular, frequently fails, and users must use a trial-and-error approach to eliminate or reduce failed prints.

Creality's Ender 3 3D printer is one of its best-selling models, and it's popular among students, enthusiasts, and hobbyists. As a result, it is safe to say that Ender 3 users are mostly hustlers looking for ways to get the most out of their 3D printer. Many users do not see the need to connect a camera to their 3D printers, but it can greatly improve your 3D printing experience. Many feel that installing. Camera is a tedious task but it is not so. In fact, it is quite easy. All you need is a good camera and a camera mount. This article discusses the various Ender 3 camera mounts that can be installed on your 3D printer.

O Klipper é um dos poucos firmwares para impressão 3D que oferece suporte nativo a uma câmera externa para monitorar sua impressora 3D. A interface web do Klipper facilita a conexão de uma câmera ao Raspberry Pi e o acompanhamento do progresso da impressão.

Mas o Klipper é um firmware relativamente novo, com recursos e guias limitados que detalham suas diversas funcionalidades. Como usuário iniciante, é fácil se confundir com a instalação e configuração de uma câmera em sua impressora 3D Klipper.

Este artigo tem como objetivo facilitar esse processo e ajudar você a configurar uma câmera na sua impressora 3D conectada ao Klipper. Continue lendo para aprender em detalhes sobre o procedimento de configuração da câmera no Klipper e como uma câmera pode beneficiar seu fluxo de trabalho de impressão 3D.

Introdução​

Usando o recurso de timelapse do Klipper, você pode gravar todo o seu processo de impressão 3D e compartilhar trechos dele em suas redes sociais. Esses vídeos também são uma ótima ferramenta para analisar falhas de impressão e identificar as causas por trás de um problema.

Apesar de sua utilidade, configurar vídeos em time-lapse no Klipper pode ser um desafio para muitos usuários. E embora a configuração inicial seja relativamente simples, pode confundir usuários iniciantes do Klipper.

Neste artigo, vamos simplificar esse processo para você. Abordaremos todo o procedimento passo a passo e configuraremos a funcionalidade de timelapse para sua instância do Klipper. Ao final deste guia, você poderá gravar vídeos em timelapse perfeitos de suas impressões 3D e compartilhá-los com seus amigos e familiares.

Nozzle Scraping Bed Surface​

What Is It?​

Inaccurate bed leveling, low initial layer height, or incorrect Z-offset settings can cause your printer's nozzle to scrape against the printing bed. It might damage the nozzle and the print bed and restrict the filament from flowing out of the nozzle.

If left unchecked for a while, it can build up pressure in the hot end and cause the extruder motor to skip steps. Nozzle scraping is relatively minor but one of the most common issues faced by beginners and new 3D printer users.

Blobs or Zits​

What Is It?​

Blobs or Zits are the tiny dots on your print's surface and directly affect its overall quality and appearance. These are often the result of incorrect retraction settings or high printing temperature and negatively affect the surface finish of your 3D printed part.

Sometimes, you can easily remove them with sanding, but big blobs can be challenging to remove and may leave an impression on your parts. For this reason, it's best to tune your printer to not create them in the first place rather than try to remove them through post-processing.

Broken Filament​

What Is It?​

The filament is a relatively fine plastic thread, which can break easily under certain conditions. If your filament breaks mid-way during a print, it will cause a print failure leading to a loss of print time and effort.

Filament usually breaks due to poor quality control, high humidity, or extreme tension in the filament path. These conditions are essential to consider if you're planning to print large-sized objects or want to use your printer for batch 3D printing.
