If you're mainly concerned about getting hold of a raspberry pi, get subscribed because I have a good potential solution that were going to try out!

This is the best video on the subject that ties it all together. I had spent many hours on other bits and piece of older videos without success. Once I found this video, I restarted the complete install from the start and ended with a functioning Klipper for my CR10S Pro V2 in very short time. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this video - extremely information dense, and very high SNR! Great you cover multiple methods & mainboard configs, too. Was getting ready for a new printer, but feel I got that "for free" (no new HW, just a few hours invested) just by getting Klipper (and tuning a bit). Faster and much better prints now.

KUDOS! I now have klipper running on my ender 3 pro! you have the most complete video on doing this. I was literaly banging my head against the wall and was aout ready to give up on klipper
-
Nicely Done! 👍 I've got a parts order from BTT arriving Friday...so this comes in handy...great timing!
-
This tutorial is a must. Brilliant rhythm, almost a speed run, but that's what the pause button is for. Currently I am on Sonic Pad + Ender 3 S1. Went the lazy way, I must confess. I can't stress this enough, Klipper is the best upgrade one can make on a stock 3d printer.
-
I watched this, then I laid down for a bit to allow my brain to cool off. Possibly the FINEST tutorial of a complex system that I have ever watched. BRAVO, Thank you, and Get yourself an extra piece of pie!
-
Thanks for the great, very comprehensive video, Adam. Well done and very informative.
-
After trying many tutorials that did nothing for me, this one finally worked! I guess it was the main board that caused me so much grief, but that issue is history thanks to your tutorial. Thanks!
-
Matey.. LOVE YA WORK!! Had no idea whatsoever about Klipper until your vid. Cheers big ears 😀
-
thanks for an excellent step by step guide, just migrated my ender3 - 2018 to klipper and mainsail, didn't use a pi but an HP Thinclient T520, first print ongoing.
-
Man you are awesome. Had to watch this twice just to keep up. Fantastic content. Have an Ender s1 that is sitting idle and going to Order all these components give it a go Thank you.
-
Thank you! About to try Klipper on my new Ender 3 V2 Neo, will follow your instructions. I have an 8 GB Pi that I bought a few years ago that I'll dedicate to printing. Thanks again!
-
omg thank you so much idk why your tutorial worked for me but after many tries with using an old PC running linux I got it to work. Thanks!!
-
I've been having issues with my Ender 3 not moving slowly enough for wire EDM. Wanted to convert it to klipper. This video is perfect! Thanks!
-
Damn that's a complicated process but bravo for explaining it so clearly! I'd like to upgrade my CR10S so that I can use input shaping at some time in the near future.
-
Thanks so much I got Klipper running super quick
-
This was great! One note though is that the early 1.1.3 boars and similar needs to have a bootloader installed before trying to flash Klipper firmware :)
-
Thanks! Not without nearly 100 opened chrome tabs but I've managed to install klipper with raspberry within 1 day
-
It absolutely helped me,Thank you so much and appreciate.
