Klipper Camera, Light Bar and 32GB EMMC - The Best Unbox Setup You Should Do
The KINGROON KLP1, one of the most affordable Core-XY 3D Printer with Klipper firmware installed, has been improved a lot and now comes to its third version. It starts to use a brand-new extruder kit, who has a 9.5:1 gear ratio, and a whole new set of mainboard, THR board, THR cable and a CHC heating ring. Also, the print volume is now 230x230x210, cam print much larger objects now.
Recently we shared tutorial about Klipper Timelapse - Installation and Configuration, Klipper AI with Obico - Best Upgration for Your Klipper Printers, and the Klipper Mainboard - KINGROON KP Cheetah Mainboard. If you recently got the model, adding a light bar, a webcam and a 32GB EMMC during the setup is a great idea, so you can enjoy the time lapse video and AI detection directly after its setup.
The Light Bar
The light bar on a 3D printer can help you in many ways, especially for time lapse video taking and AI detection. For a core XY 3D printer with enclosure like KLP1, the light bar can help you observe the prints when printing ABS. Also, the environment light is no longer a problem, just turn off the light when you leave, the light bar takes care of your prints.
Once you removed all the 3 screws, have all the axis released, we can start the setup process. Find a right position on the right side, beneath the belt a little bit will be good, tear off the stick cover on the light bar, then put in on the inner wall. Then the light bar is totally fixed. It has a strong stick, you must make sure the position is good.
After that, you can find a hole on the front right corner, put the light bar cable in. Then you will be able to connect it to the power supply on its back. Taking power from the mainboard main affect the stability of its work, that why connect the light bar to the power box.
Then turn the printer over and open the bottom cover. Find the light bar cable then connect it to the power supply as the below photo shows.
After that, the light bar is all set, it should light up with the printer booting.
