Cheap and easy Klipper touch interface with CYD Klipper

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: / @ttracingyt
Klipper has grown much more popular, and with that we receive more and more options from developers. In this video, we test CYD Klipper, a simpler alternative to KlipperScreen that can be setup very easily and for little cost. Hopefully it is a viable and affordable option for the Klipper community.

    Great video! I'm the person with the cyd repo , im delighted to see it continuing to be useful to people. I had nothing to do with CYD klipper though, amazing piece of software! For people asking about using different displays (or bigger displays), its probably relatively easy to port the project to a different display if you you are happy to code it yourself, but the webflash method will only work on this exact display

  • @wyqid

    Ай бұрын

    Yes. I was running a Voxlab on a Pi3A+, but it will work with any Pi from a Zero W 2 on up. The Zero W 2 can run full speed with a simple generic USB charger that provides 2000mAh or more,. The other Pi's will throttle to half speed unless you buy a official Pi charger that can pump 2.5 to 3 amps through your USB cable (which most USB cables are not made to do). Personally I've switched to using an old i5 laptop running Debian Linux to run 4 printers. The Pi has no shielding and frequently disconnects during printing due to EMF noise. I did design special unpowered shielded USB cables and used a dedicated 60W power supply for all four Pis on all 4 printers and solved the disconnect issue, but they still throttled, probably because it is hard to find a micro-USB cable with thick wires that is cheap.

    Is there no place in the world where you want a printer status display that doesn't have to be hardwired into a pi? I run mine off a battery bank so i can place it anywhere. Also, i think it's a bit short sighted to say that the screen is not suited to be an emergency stop. I think you'll experience more latency by waiting for the command queue to empty before the emergency stop is actually processed. If you really want an emergency stop, consider the power plug :)
