Klipper Install for Stock Ender 5 Plus

hey everyone now if you found yourself here you're probably like me you're wondering about clipper and the ender 5 plus on the stock setup so we're going to run through this and i'm going to show you what you need to do i'm going to have links to all these different websites in the description below so check those out to help you out as we go along so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to install fluid so we're going to go to the github and download the latest fluid pi light and that's going to take a minute to download so we'll just skip ahead all right now that that's downloaded we're going to get our micro sd card and we're going to plug it into the computer so that we can flash it so now we got the sd card plugged into the computer we go into valent elena etcher there you go i'm gonna flash from file i'm gonna choose that new zip file i'm gonna select the target i'm gonna select our sd card that we have plugged in and we're gonna go ahead and flash that so once it's done it's going to finish flashing it'll close out the drive and from what it looks like it has ejected it so you're going to have to go ahead remove the sd card from your computer go ahead and plug it back in close belen etcher we're going to go here to the fluid pi wpa supplicant file we're going to go ahead and open that up and this is how we connect the raspberry pi to our network so we're going to have to go ahead and remove these comments in the wpa wpa2 and in the ssid you're going to go ahead and put your your wi-fi user or your wi-fi name in here uh just a a quick note this is case sensitive so if there are upper lowercase letters in your your wi-fi name you're gonna need to have that in there and then you're gonna end up putting your password for to connect your wi-fi in here and then after that's done you can just go ahead and save the file close that out close out our other file and then we can go ahead and eject our sd card so now that we've ejected our sd card we're going to go over here i'm going to put it in my raspberry pi i'm using a raspberry pi 3v plus here and then what i'm going to do is i'm going to go ahead and turn on my my raspberry pi with that new sd card inserted this is going to take a second here so now that you have your raspberry pi plugged in you should be able to go in and figure out what your ip address is for me i'm actually using a netgear router so i'm just going to go in here i'm going to log in and then i'm going to go to attach devices and it should show up in here raspberry pi and then i can copy my ip address so i'll go ahead and copy my ip address and plug it in here on my internet and i should show up there we've got we've got fluid is installed on our raspberry pi and this is our ability to access it so what we're going to do is we're going to go into uh putty so that we can ssh into our raspberry pi i'll go ahead and that's the uh i that's the same ip address that i just got from my netgear router and we're gonna go ahead and open click yes so log in as uh the the standard is pi and the password is raspberry and then you're going to show up here with this pie at fluid pie so what we're going to do is we're going to go back to our instructions now the first thing we're going to do is we're going to install k-i-a-u-h i don't know how to pronounce that but we're going to go ahead and copy this and then we're going to right-click and that'll paste it inside of putty and that'll clone that on there and then we'll take our next step we'll change our directory to cue paste that there change our permissions and then we can run the install script and then we're just going to click that so at this point now that we've installed kioa we need to configure this so that we can use the stock screen of the under five plus there's a special type of firmware for that so what we're going to do is we're going to go over here and we're going to change our directory to clipper we're gonna get this day suit clipper from github so we copy that we're gonna fetch it any changes so this is where things are going to be a little bit different this uh website i found is for the ender 6 but with the ender 5 plus we can go ahead and make menu config pop up so we want to make sure that this is a 80 mega avr and the atmega is 2560 and that is correct now this this little section here is where it's going to be different than most installs for clipper especially for the ender 5 plus this is the script that allows us to run the stock screen so make sure that we have this little star here to enable us to use that and then what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and hit escape and do we want to save the configuration yes we do now i'm actually going to go over to the clipper configuration instructions and i uh we are already in the cd clipper we already did the make menu config what we're going to do next is we're going to make type m-a-k-e and hit enter so at this point i'm actually going to go over and make sure that my uh usb cable is plugged in for my raspberry pi and my printer and then i'm going to turn my printer on so now that i have my printer on i'm going to run this script right here so i can find out what port my printer is hooked up to on the raspberry pi now keep track of this here and next thing we're going to do is we're going to type in sudo service clipper stop and it's going to ask us for the password again which is raspberry r-a-s-p-d-e-r-r-y hit enter next we're going to copy this and it says make flash flash device equals we'll copy all of that paste it into putty and then we will take this port from our usb that we had earlier and highlight it and then right click here what we're going to do is we're going to hit enter and now it's actually flashing clipper firmware onto our control board in our printer and now that that's done we're going to start our clipper service again so what we're going to do now is we're going to go on the fluid pi and now that we are in here we actually are able to connect to the printer with fluid and it says that it's unable to open a config file and that's because we don't actually have one in there i do already have one saved so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go ahead and upload my config file and what i'm going to do is i'm going to rename this and i'll actually share this config file with everybody so that they have a good base one of the things that you're going to need to do is go into this config file scroll down to mcu this mcu information here that should be the same as your serial port that we pulled in putty so i'm double checking mine yes mine is correct but you can copy this and paste it in here this is so that fluid can connect with your printer and talk to your printer you can save save and restart this is clippy's not host not connected printer not ready and now our printer is up and running that's it you should be able to control your printer from here let me go to the terminal console see what happens here and my printer is homing now the only change we need to make in our printer config file is to add this script right here at the very end this is what's going to tell your firmware on your raspberry pi and fluid and your printer how to use the stock screen so if this isn't in there your stock screen won't work after flashing the new firmware now that we have clipper installed in our printer working with fluid next thing we're going to want to do is update the firmware on our stock screen so that we can use our stock screen with clipper now the first thing we're going to want to do is we're going to go to this website and we are going to download the latest release of the firmware it's a d1set.tar.gz once that's open we're going to show in folder and we are going to go ahead and extract files here we can open that up and the d1 set we're gonna copy that we're gonna insert our sd card now this sd card has to be eight gigabytes or smaller and after we insert it we're going to go ahead and we're going to format this sd card see it's smaller than 8 gigabytes fat32 and we need to allocate it at a 40 96 byte size otherwise this won't work and we'll go ahead and format that okay and close and then we can go ahead and paste the dwin set now you make sure it's actually labeled d1 set and go in and look make sure everything is in there should be the root folder we're gonna eject our sd card and then we're going to take our sd card over to the printer and we'll see over there all right we're over here at the printer and what we're going to do is we're going to remove the bottom board and while we're doing this just before you get started you make sure that the sd card on the side of the printer the usb cable from your raspberry pi any other usb cables are unplugged and you've unplugged the power cable from the back of the printer now the reason that we're opening this up is inside the screen is a sd card slot and that's what we're going to use to flash our new firmware so that it works with clipper all right now i got the back off i'm going to go ahead and unplug our fan like put that off to the side we're going to take our sd card with our firmware and insert it in the back of the screen here go ahead and plug our power cable back in and turn our power on now this is what the screen looks like when it's updating all right when you got sd card process end with an exclamation point at the top that means your firmware is updated on your screen and go ahead and power off the printer once power's off go ahead and unplug our power cable we can eject our sd card and check everything out go ahead plug our power cable back in and turn the power back on now because our raspberry pi is not plugged in the screen will actually just say clipper on it right now when we plug our raspberry pi back in here in a minute the screen will work so i'm gonna do i'm gonna go ahead and shut it off remove my power cable i'm gonna go ahead and reinstall the bottom plate now we've got our bottom plate back on printer is right side up we're going to go ahead and plug our power cable back in before we do anything else we'll take our raspberry pi plug it into the side of the printer and turn on the printer that heat up [Music] then we're going to turn on our raspberry pi and see now we have a screen again let's just go ahead and home see what happens and there it goes hey i hope this video was helpful for you if you have any questions go ahead post them in the comments below

Made a video on how to setup Klipper for the stock Ender 5 Plus. This will work for the stock main board as well as the Creality V2.2 silent board. This is the process needed to be able to use the stock screen on the Ender 5 plus with Klipper, the Klipper firmware is a Fork of the original.

Dude, this vid will be super helpful. Thanks a lot. Maybe it should be included in the sticky post?

I only have one single question left: How can I check that I have the atmega avr and the atmega2560? I am using a silent board. Can I then just go ahead or what am I supposed to check and how?

[u/ebeng34]

Just one stupid question; what are the full benefits running “klipper”? I got my ender 5plus, but did not power it on yet…. Came across your post by accident :)

[u/MiniDotRAR]

Awesome, just ordered my printer and this post popped up, thank you. Looking forward to getting this beast klipperised.

[u/PowerPickle13]

This would have been good a month ago but thank you :)

[u/Shonky_Donkey]

Due-Conversation delivers!

[u/dragonzoom]

Awesome. I wonder how much difference to speed/quality it makes?

[u/OneFast7D]

Now I know what I'll be doing tonight!!

[u/Majawat]

This is great! Thanks so much!
I know that there's been some issues with Octoprint and the filament runout sensor. Does going to Klipper have the same issue? (I know that Octoprint usually sits on top of Marlin and that might be the cause, but wanted to verify before I start messing around with things)
