![]() I don’t really know wtf I am doing half the time, I just manage to get it working – hah! I few days ago I decided to take the plunge into Klipper with my printer, a Monoprice Maker Select v2.1 with an SKR 1.3. In the image below, you can see an example of how my PID values are configured on the Voron Trident.Let me start off by saying by no means am I an expert with Klipper, or 3D printing. They are added at the bottom of the file.īut if you want, you can also open up the printer.cfg file, and add the values manually, under the Extruder and Heatbed config. Save Klipper PID tuning valuesĪs previously mentioned, the values are saved to the printer.cfg file automatically, if you run the SAVE_CONFIG command. For example, if you print mostly ABS, I would PID tune the heatbed for 100C. ![]() The idea is to use a temperate as close as possible to the material you are printing most of the time. Please note that I used 60 as the target, as it works well most of the time if you print PLA/PETG/ABS/ ASA/ TPU. Run the PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET=60 command to start the PID tuning process and wait for it to be completed.ĭon’t start the heatbed PID tuning before the heatbed has reached the environmental temperature, as it can generate bad results.Heatbed PID tuning in Klipperįor calibrating the heatbed, I recommend following the steps below: For example, if you print mostly ABS, I would PID tune the hotend for 240C. Please note that I used 215C as the target, as it works well most of the time if you print PLA/ PETG/ ABS/ ASA/ TPU. When done run the SAVE_CONFIG command and the new PID settings will be saved to the printer config file. ![]() Run the PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=extruder TARGET=215 command to start the PID tuning process and wait for it to be completed.Turn on the part cooling fans to 100% (can be done with M106 S255 command).Home the printer and adjust the nozzle position to sit in the middle of the bed, with about 5cm of clearance to the bed.If your printer has a magnetic flex plate, ensure that it’s attached to the printer just like it would be during printingįor calibrating the hotend, I recommend following the steps below:. ![]() If the hotend has a silicone sock protection for the heatblock, ensure that it’s set correctly.Ensure that the hotend and heatbed are at room temperature.Prerequisites for PID tuning in Klipperīefore you start doing the PID tuning in Klipper for your heatbed and hotend, I recommend doing the following steps for best results: For example, when changing the printing surface from a glass sheet to a magnetic PEI sheet the temperature consistency can be slightly different so performing a PID tuning process is recommended. You need to perform a PID calibration again if you added heatbed insulation material, or if you changed the printing surface. For example, the temperature consistency will be different if you use a silicone sock or if you changed the heater cartridge. Most of the time, you need to perform a new PID tuning if you did any changes to the hotend. While this works, the heatbed is under repeated thermal stress which can cause it to slightly bend according to the heating cycles and this creates uneven layers. ![]() Sometimes, the heating algorithm is not PID, which means that the heater will always use 100% of the power and then cycle back to 0% until the set temperature is reached. The biggest impact on print quality comes with improper heatbed PID tuning in Klipper. ![]()
