Hello,

unfortunately I get the following errors in the config from you. Probably the LED must be made known to the printer somehow. Would you add this?

Thanks a lot and you have written a great tutorial!

Unknown command:"M42"
Unknown command:"M42"
Unknown command:"M42"
Unknown command:"M117"

Have config sidewinder x2 ?

Du you have tried the filament sensor configuration? In my invention the sensor doesn't work. Maybe wrong pin?

Since some updates of Klipper, I changed some parameters to avoid errors.

1/Remove the lines

default_parameter_BED_TEMP: 60
default_parameter_EXTRUDER_TEMP: 200

2/ By following this tutorial, I understood that the error was related to bltouch
I uncommented this line
#stow_on_each_sample: false

Since I don't have anymore the blocking message "BLTouch failed to deploy".

Is this config for the waggster style bltouch mod using the LED pins or for running the bltouch wires all the way to their own pins on the board?

Using your config worked fine for a long time, but now, i get the error MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Not a valid input pin ... no idea how to find the pin causing this problem or how to fix this...

On how to override default parameters

default_parameter_BED_TEMP: 60

Gives the alert:

And from Kilipper:
Option 'default_parameter_bed_temp' is not valid in section 'gcode_macro start_print'

Hi,
I'm using your "SideWinder X1 BLTouch E3D Thermistor.cfg" on my X1 machine with klipper, and I get this error upon connecting:

Recv: // command to reload the config and restart the host software.
Recv: // Printer is halted
Recv: !! Option 'default_parameter_bed_temp' is not valid in section 'gcode_macro start_print'
Recv: ok
Send: M104 S200
Recv: // Option 'default_parameter_bed_temp' is not valid in section 'gcode_macro start_print'
Recv: //

Recv: // command to reload the config and restart the host software.
Recv: // Printer is halted
Recv: !! Option 'default_parameter_bed_temp' is not valid in section 'gcode_macro start_print'

Once I comment or remove those lines then these error messages are gone. Please advice should I remove them or edit them in some other way?

Kind regards,
Valent.

I love your printer.cfg for the sidewinder x1. Th main issue is that I'm trying to make the led neopixel work on the extruder but I don't know the pin name on how to configure it. Can anyone help?

First I really wanted to say thank you for providing and maintaining these config.

Not being an expert in building 3D printers, I'd really welcome a short description in each config or a README which explains the variations.

For example:

• SideWinder X1 Stock <-- Header could link to this GitHub and remind to check the serial: value (I'd actually do this in all config files)
• SideWinder X1 Stock MBL <-- Could additional explain that MBL means Manual Bed Leveling where you can add an offset if the bed surface is not flat, and explain briefly how to do that (basically say to look at the [bed_mesh] section ).
• SideWinder X1 Z-Endstop <-- This one got me confused. I thought that there is a Z endstop on stock X1 printers, so what is this?
• Sidewinder X1 Omniadrop PT100 HIGHTEMP WARNING <-- Not sure what this is; is it just to remove the <240°C limit?
• Sidewinder X1 SKR 1_4 Turbo TMC22 <-- I guess this is for people that replaced their board with a Bigtreetech SKR V1.4 (Turbo) TMC22; why would Klipper users that have RPi do that?!
• SideWinder X1 BLTouch* <-- If you installed a BLTouch (add link), please briefly explain any additional changes required.

Any reason not to include an [gcode_arcs] section to support G2 or G3 and other Arch Welder codes?

Hi! I have installed a triangelab 3d touch on my sidewinder x1/klipper. I have Ethereal projects new extruder board, and the 3d touch is connected according his instructions. I am using 3dprintbeginners/clank printer.cfg from his github.

[bltouch]
sensor_pin: ar19
control_pin: ar11
x_offset:28
y_offset:-33
speed:10
samples:1
samples_result:average
set_output_mode: 5V
probe_with_touch_mode: true
stow_on_each_sample: false

However when I run initial tests in klipper terminal with pin up/down working OK, BUT when running query command, klipper is reporting "triggered" whether pin is up or down..?
I have read klipper doc, but wondering if pin setup in printer.cfg is correct?

Using standard MKS GEN L v1 board on my sidewinder.

Best regards.
