Klipper is a special firmware designed to perform the heavy lifting of kinematics on a Raspberry Pi and simplify the job of the existing 3D printer mainboard. This allows very precise stepper motor timing and potentially much higher speeds.

In this video, I present a step by step guide to installing and configuring Klipper on an Ender 3. It includes the base set up as well as how to get a BLtouch and pressure advance working.

In the next part, I will tackle other boards and stepper motor drivers, including a Klipper specific board called the Printhat from Wrecklabs.

I have tried to be as comprehensive as I can in this video but there is a lot to cover. Please read carefully through the docs I have referenced below.
