Timelapse for Klipper 3D Printer Firwmare

Let’s use moonraker-timelapse to set up timelapses of your 3D prints!

Make sure the printer is not currently printing

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse
cd moonraker-timelapse
make install

Set up auto update
Edit your moonraker.cfg

# moonraker.conf

[update_manager timelapse]
type: git_repo
primary_branch: main
path: ~/moonraker-timelapse
origin: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse.git
managed_services: klipper moonraker

Update your printer.cfg file

# printer.cfg
[include timelapse.cfg]

Update your slicer settings

For Orca Slicer, go to your printer settings > Machine G-Code > Before layer change

TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME

Edit the moonraker.conf file

# moonraker.conf

[timelapse]
##   Following basic configuration is default to most images and don't need
##   to be changed in most scenarios. Only uncomment and change it if your
##   Image differ from standart installations. In most common scenarios 
##   a User only need [timelapse] in their configuration.
output_path: ~/timelapse/
##   Directory where the generated video will be saved
frame_path: /tmp/timelapse/
##   Directory where the temporary frames are saved
ffmpeg_binary_path: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
##   Directory where ffmpeg is installed

Backing Files Automatically to a Network Share in Linux

Mount a network share and backup wanted files using SMB

How to mount an SMB share in linux

sudo apt install cifs-utils

Make a directory 
sudo mkdir /mnt/backup
Mount the folder using 
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials //10.0.0.10/timelapse /mnt/backup/

Automatically mount at system startup (filestable)

sudo nano /ets/fstab

#klipper config backup to network share
//10.0.0.10/timelapse /mnt/backup/ cifs rw,vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials

Perform a manual backup

sudo rsync -a /home/brewzr/printer_data/config/ /mnt/backup/klipper_backup

Use crontab to create auto backups

sudo crontab -e
Paste this at the bottom, save and close

# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command
0 5 * * 1 sudo rsync -a /home/brewzr/printer_data/config/ /mnt/backup/klipper_backup

Klipper Mainsail / Ender 3 Pro / Sprite Extruder

Quick guide and notes to myself on how to configure Klipper Mainsail for Ender 3 Pro.

You can get klipper here – https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh

After Klipper is installed, the next step is to configure it for the 3D printer.

Download a printer.cfg template for your printer at –

For a 4.2.2 board, use the settings below (this is at the top of printer.cfg)

# This file contains pin mappings for the stock 2020 Creality Ender 3
# Pro with the 32-bit Creality 4.2.2 board. To use this config, during
# "make menuconfig" select the STM32F103 with a "28KiB bootloader" and
# serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9) communication.

Run the kiauh script to configure the firmware for the correct MCU board that controls the printer

cd ~ && ./kiahu/kiahu.sh

Choose number 4 for advanced

Then 4 again for [Build + Flash]

MCU architecture = STMicroelectronics STM32

Processor Model = (STM32F103)

Bootloader offset = 28KiB bootloader

Then press escape and Y to quit and save

Transfer the bin file using WinSCP

Find the klipper.bin file in ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin

Then flash the firmware to the 3D printer. Shut off the 3D printer. Copy the bin file to the SD card and insert the SD card into the MCU. Then boot up the printer.

Then plug in the printer to klipper and run the command below to find the serial ID

ls /dev/serial/by-id/*

Copy and paste the output to printer.cfg in the [mcu] section, then save and restart
