Describe your issue:
My printer is relatively new to me. I installed Klipper on it. I am using a CHEP profile in Cura to create the gcode files.
When I start a print job, it takes about 6 minutes to get to the actual printing. It prints blastingly fast and quality is very good. But the 6 minutes bother me: it first heats up the bed to 50C, then heats up to hotend to 220C, then immediately cools down to 150C, probes the bed and then goes up to 200C then cools down again and heats up. How can I prevent this? It’s a waste of time.
I hope not, or you are a real professional and Klipper expert.
The K1 already comes with Klipper and unless you are really an expert, you should refrain from modifying anything on the Klipper side.
Doing so will likely render the whole thing unusable or severely limited, since this printer uses a heavily modified Klipper version.
OK, I did the PID calibration for the extruder and the bed. That’s not it. I get your point: you think I am referring to slight variations that may get out of tolerances.
It is rather all the operations it does before starting to print. It does a bed probing and wiping the hotend operation, but the temps that are used for these operations vary, and therefore, take a long time. I will include a screen snapshot so you can see that the target temps start at 220, then 150 etc. As you can see, it takes almost 7 minutes before it starts printing the first layer.
You need to be aware that the Klipper version and printer.cfg is far from any standard.
Unintended behavior (given that you use Creality’s standard firmware) is best reported to Creality.
Except for very general things, we do not support these customized versions as it might turn out to be a lot of effort and investigations to finally notice the behavior is due to these manufacturer modifications.
