1 - Overview

For the most part I will try to document each project as I put it together. This will include references, tools, printers, settings, and anything else I need to remember.

This site is built with Hugo. I am utilizing the Docsy theme by Google. As a side note, I have found it easy to use and I like the documentation.

2.1.1 - Ender 3 S1 Plus (e3s1p) Klipper Config

# !Ender-3 S1 Plus
# printer_size: 300x300x300
# version: 3.6
# This file contains pin mappings for the stock 2021 Creality Ender 3
# S1 & S1 Pro. To use this config, check the STM32 Chip on the
# Mainboard, during "make menuconfig" select accordingly either the
# STM32F103 with "28KiB bootloader" or the STM32F401 with
# "64KiB bootloader" and serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9) for both.

# For a direct serial connection, in "make menuconfig" select
# "Enable extra low-level configuration options" and  Serial
# (on USART2 PA3/PA2), which is on the 10 pin IDC cable used

# Flash this firmware by copying "out/klipper.bin" to a SD card and
# turning on the printer with the card inserted. The filename
# must be changed to "firmware.bin"

# With STM32F401, you might need to put "firmware.bin" in a
# folder on the SD card called "STM32F4_UPDATE" in order to flash.

# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.

# This file contains common pin mappings for the BigTreeTech SKR 2.
# To use this config, the firmware should be compiled for the
# STM32F407 with a "32KiB bootloader".

# In newer versions of this board shipped in late 2021 the STM32F429
# is used, if this is the case compile for this with a "32KiB bootloader"
# You will need to check the chip on your board to identify which you have.
#
# The "make flash" command does not work on the SKR 2. Instead,
# after running "make", copy the generated "out/klipper.bin" file to a
# file named "firmware.bin" on an SD card and then restart the SKR 2
# with that SD card.

# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.

# Note: The initial revision of this board has a flaw that can cause
# damage to itself and other boards. Be sure to verify the board is
# not impacted by this flaw before using it.

4 - Tutorials

These are the tutorials I have created over the years. I have tried to create playlists on YouTube. My focus is 3D printing slicers, Klipper, and Marlin setups. I also do a lot of videos on repairing 3D printers. I am always looking for new ideas. Don’t hesitate to reach out with some suggestions.

4.1.1 - OrcaSlicer Calibration and Max Flowrate

OrcaSlicer Calibration and Max Flowrate: Fix It Fast with Orca Slicer’s Calibration Tool

Max Volumetric Speed Defined

According to Prusa3D, Max Volumetric Speed is defined as:

The Maximum volumetric speed setting (MVS) is one of the most powerful features in PrusaSlicer. The MVS setting essentially creates a manager for the maximum amount of filament that the slicer will attempt to push through your 3D printer’s hotend.

Video Description

Dial in Your Prints: OrcaSlicer Max Flow Rate Calibration Test

Stop printing with gaps and blobs! Master your flow rate with OrcaSlicer’s built-in Max Flow Rate Calibration Test.

This beginner-friendly tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the entire calibration process. Learn how to:

• Access and configure the Max Flow Rate test in Orca Slicer
• Print the test model and identify the optimal flow rate for your filament
• Apply the new flow rate settings to achieve flawless prints with consistent material extrusion

Say goodbye to under-extrusion and hello to smooth surfaces and sharp details! This video is perfect for anyone who wants to take their 3D printing to the next level with OrcaSlicer.

5 - M3DP Project Plans and Journals

It usually takes me a while to work on my various projects. I store references all over the place. I am hoping that this could be a place for me to gather everything. As I work in a project, I would like to be able to document the process.

I have alot of projects planned for Minimal 3DP. I look forward to getting to work and sharing.
