Klipper Configuation
Klipper Configuration for Touch Mode
We DO NOT 100% guarantee TOUCH compatibility with ALL printers. It is your responsibility to read this entire guide prior to use and to research whether this is right for you. Please contact us on DISCORD if you have questions.
If you're changing from classic to touch, make sure you remove or comment out [cartographer] sections from your existing klipper configuration files. A note about this can be found here.
For Cartographer to receive usable readings for touch to be accurate, you MUST place cartographer between 2.6 and 3mm ABOVE the nozzle. Print or put something 2.5-2.6mm but no more than 3mm in height under or next to the cartographer coil to measure where it needs to be.
Your toolhead & gantry/carriage MUST be RIGID. If there is movement and flex it can also create undesired results in the touch process.
NOTE - The [scanner] section needs to be above any other reference to either cartographer/scanner or probe within your Klipper config, for this reason I advise adding it near the top of your config file.
If you want to use the probe for Input Shaper, please add the following to your config.
You then need to remove, or comment out your [probe]
section.
Now add a safe_z_home section with the following inforamation.
You will also need to update your Z configuration settings, this will involve removing or commenting out your position_endstop:
configuration. Homing_retract_dist
must also be set to 0
Don't get confused, "endstop_pin" should contain probe and NOT cartographer/scanner.
You will now need to ensure that you update your Z-Tilt or QGL settings to ensure that Cartographer is over the bed when performing these actions. We will be checking these during the calibration phase.
Finally, you need to ensure you have a suitable bed_mesh
section. Information can be found here
It is vital you complete the Calibration steps, without doing so the probe will not work properly and is likely to show TRIGGERED.
