Klipper on J1/J1s (success/progress)!

I have a WiFi Tapo camera integrated into the Mainsail UI, for mine. Was actually working on a new mount for it today.

i had a logitech usb cam plugged into the printer when it was running android. it has enough resources to serve video

Just dropped the latest version of my J1 Klipper configs, if anyone is interested. These have been working very well for me, with no issues. Of note, I modified the load_unload macros to move the printheads to the middle of the bed, as that works best for my setup. You can change the coordinates in the .cfg to whatever you’d like, if desired.

Be sure to organize the files in the correct folders when you upload them.

I have also not identified any issues with input shaping, so I’ll call that successful, for now. Happy printing!

Bonjour , une petite avancé :wink:

Don’t tease me!

Hi, is here some simple guide how to install Klipper on J1? Thank you.

I have a “Dummy’s Guide” posted to my Github, which should help you go step-by-step through the process. Let me know if you have any issues with it!

J’ai trouvé une solution simple et gratuite pour avoir un œil sur sa J1 :wink: Maintenant que j’ai compris comment modifier les kernels Armbian facilement, j’ai ajouté le module TUN pour ainsi pouvoir utiliser Tailscale sur le SoC de la J1, couplé à Mobileraker sur mon smartphone. Reste à trouver le meilleur emplacement de la webcam et le bon objectif pour améliorer le cadrage actuel lol

Bonjour Viktor, Evil Azrael a publié récemment qu'il travaillait sur une solution sans démontage de l'écran de la J1. Il faudra toujours maîtriser à minima Linux et avoir sous la main un Hub USB et un clavier pour flasher le J1 sous Klipper.

Awesome! I’m using a Pi cam and Octoeverywhere for mine.

Hello,
thanks for your work, seems to be the right time to convert my own J1S to Klipper.
@DeSkwared : When you have gotten you U1 running with the ACE Pro 2, I suggest to
take a look at implementing the “old” ACE Pro to your J1 - makes the workflow so much
nicer, 2 feeding slots for each toolhead, backup mode per head. I use it with the original
FW with ace-solo ( GitHub - agrloki/ace-solo: Standalone Python application for controlling the Anycubic ACE Pro without Klipper. · GitHub ) , as it can be controlled without any FW modding -
but there are already multiple Klipper-integrations, even one from the same author (GitHub - agrloki/ValgACE: A driver for Anycubic Color Engine Pro for Klipper · GitHub) or others.
Orca is also working on better support for multi-toolhead+multi-material (MMS on each toolhead).

Alternatively, the ACE Gen 2 would actually be even more ideal for the J1, as you could use both the Copy and Mirror modes, allowing both materials to be dispensed simultaneously. With the SCE Gen 1, only one material position can be active at a time; switching tools automatically stops the auto-feed for one slot and starts it for the other. This is sufficient for using two materials plus a backup per tool, but it is indeed a limitation that the Gen 2 does not have.
