Setup guide for Sovol SV06 with klipper

Flash Mainsail to your pi using raspberry pi imager

Note: If you do not have a RPI then use kiauh as follows...

First install git on your pi variant:

sudo apt install git

Then...

git clone https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh.git

run

./kiauh/kiauh.sh

and install klipper if it hasn't already been installed by the mainsail image, as well as mainsail.

Flash klipper to your printer

Turn off printer.

Insert 8GB/16GB SD card into your PC/linux box/mac and copy the firmware.bin file (which was originally 'klipper-0.11.0-sovol-sv06.bin') to your SD card root directory.

Eject the SD card from your computer and insert into your printer.

Turn on the printer.

Wait for 3-5 mins. The screen will not display anything of interest and you just need to wait.

Next ssh/winscp or putty into your pi and rename either the printer_cura.cfg or the printer_superslicer.cfg file I have attached to this repository to printer.cfg first, then copy it to to the /home/pi/printer_data/config directory. Note prusaslicer does not support klipper natively; though it sort of works with marlin 2 set as the firmware; personally I would not trust that so if you want klipper I think a good slicer choice is superslicer. Note that you can export a config bundle from prusaslicer and import it into superslicer if that was your previous slicer.

Insert IP address of your pi into your browser and you're almost good to go.

Slicer configuration

Superslicer

In Printer Settings ~ Custom Gcode ~ Start gcode: enter...

PRINT_START EXTRUDER={first_layer_temperature[initial_extruder] + extruder_temperature_offset[initial_extruder]} BED=[first_layer_bed_temperature] CHAMBER=[chamber_temperature]

In end gcode enter...

PRINT_END

Make sure you set (using the cog icon in printer settings) your printer name, the ip address of your pi (without http://) and the printer firmware to klipper.
