Ender 5 S1

My current printer.

• ender-5-s1

Ender 3 v2 Neo

• ender-3-v2-neo

Creality Sonic Pad

• creality-sonic-pad

RockPi 4 SE

Used for running Klipper, Mainsail etc...

• rockpi

Connectivity

• Klipper/Mainsail running on a RockPi 4 SE
• Webcam connected to RockPi with ustreamer
• Printer connected via USB
  • I did try removing the USB 5v pin as per https://community.octoprint.org/t/put-tape-on-the-5v-pin-why-and-how/13574 but it caused the printer to not be detected, I ended up getting an adapter that removes the 5v pin cleanly.
  • udev rules for consistent USB device naming - when you reconnect a USB device it might get a different device name (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB1 etc...) - this is annoying if you've configured your software such as Octoprint to use a specific device. As such you can create udev rules to ensure both the printer and any related webcams are always named consistently (e.g. /dev/3dprinter, /dev/webcam etc...) octoprint/99-3d-printer.rules.

Formatting SD Cards

Make sure you format your SD card with 4096 byte sector size or it may not flash correctly.

Format a SDCard with 4096 byte sector size in macOS

diskutil list # Find the SDCard you want to format

diskutil info disk4s1 # Get the current SDCard info, assuming the disk is disk4s1
sudo newfs_msdos -F 32 -b 4096 disk4s1 # Format the SDCard as FAT32 with a 4096 byte sector size, assuming the disk is disk4s1
