This is a klipper configuration I made for the EasyThreeD X1 printer. No physical modifications have been made to the printer as the initial goal for this project is to get Klipper working with a stock hardware configuration for this printer.
Currently I do not have the heated bed.
- Link to the docs for the "Klipper" firmware
- Zachary 3D Prints - his video (3 parts) on installing klipper on an EasyThreeD X1 printer
- wodzir's guide to installing klipper on a modified EasyThreeD printer
At first, I want to figure out a working configuration for this printer without making any physical modifications to the actual printer. At some point, I may decide to do some upgrades to this printer (new stepper motors, hot end, extruder, heated bed, etc.) but that will all depend on how much time I have to devote to this project and if I feel its worth my time doing so. Hopefully you may find this helpful in your journey with this printer.

- Be sure to calibrate the "Z Endstop" (
Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATECommand): https://www.klipper3d.org/Manual_Level.html - Recommend doing a PID Calibration for extruder:
G28
PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=extruder TARGET=215
- Don't forget to do a bed screw level adjustment (
