Klipper Tips

First Steps for a new Klipper Machine (Enter the commands in Console)

PID Tune Hotend

Run the following command to PID tune your extruder at 195°C:

PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=extruder TARGET=195

PID Tune Bed

Run the following command to PID tune your heated bed at 60°C:

PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET=60

Verify Stepper Motors

Check if your specific stepper is working. Replace stepper_x with Y, Z, etc.:

STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_x

Calibration Guides

  • Extruder Calibration:

    Calibrate your Extruder using the Klipper Calc tool above.

  • Pressure Advance:

    Calibrate your Pressure Advance using the Ellis tuning guide. I like to use Orca Slicer for this.

    ↗ View Ellis Tuning Guide
  • Extrusion Multiplier (Flow):

    Calibrate your Extrusion Multiplier or Flow. I like to use Orca Slicer for this also.

Orca Slicer

Stops OrcaSlicer from sending temp waits separately.
