ΒΆ Organising Klipper Config Files
After all mechanical connections done, you need to do some organising for Klipper config files to achieve multicolor printing. All process is explained step by step below.
- Go to Github Config Files. Download the "bed_mesh.cfg", "chroma_head.cfg", "cp_macro.cfg", "input_shaper.cfg", "kcm.cfg".
If you have ECM (Extended Chroma Module), you also need to download "ecm1.cfg". (for every newly added ECM, please follow the number order of "ecmx.cfg" files.)
If you wonder How to Set Up Extra 4 Color Printing Feature with ECM, you can check the link.
- Access the Mainsail via typing the IP address of 3D printer to the searchbar of any browser. And then click on "MACHINE".
- Click on "Upload File" and upload the files that you downloaded from Github.
- After uploading the config files is done, please go to "MACHINE" again and click on "printer.cfg".
- There are conflicting sections between the loaded config files and printer.cfg. To prevent this situation, some sections should be commented in printer.cfg.
[mcu][stepper_x][stepper_y][stepper_z][heater_bed][printer]
Leave uncommented the sections above.
- To allow the parameters from the uploaded files to replace the deleted ones in Printer.cfg, we need to introduce the files we uploaded to the Printer.cfg file using the
[include]parameter.
[include chroma_head.cfg]
[include kcm.cfg]
[include bed_mesh.cfg]
[include cp_macro.cfg]
[include input_shaper.cfg]
We've defined these five files we uploaded to the system within "printer.cfg".
- Click on "SAVE & RESTART" and the after the organising of config files.
Please do not forget to click on "SAVE & RESTART"
After organising the config files, you need to define the paths of KCM and ChromaHead. To achieve the defining, Please visit
