Generic-creality-v4.2.7.cfg Question

General Discussion
1

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Ender 5 plus
MCU / Printerboard:v4.2.2 GD23F303(Installed), v4.2.7(Planned-Upgrade)
Host / SBC: Ubuntu

Is the generic-creality-v4.2.7.cfg on github what you insert for all platforms? Or, do i need to go into the stock profiles to change parameters like “extruder rotation distance, stepper microsteps, bed size, etc”?

Essentially, I keep all pinout parameters from the v4.2.7.cfg, and change all number values?

For example: I copy paste the generic-creality-v4.2.7.cfg for my printer.cfg in mainsail, change the non-pinout values to match the printer-creality-ender5plus-2019.cfg?

P.S. The printer-creality-ender5plus-2019.cfg is for the old stock v2.2 board, not the new stock v4.2.2. Would that change anything parameter-wise?

No, you have to actually check what board runs your printer. Most important is the used MCU on the board.

If it is the v4.2.7, you should be able run it.

Yes, of course. This would be for a klipper install for an aftermarket creality v4.2.7.

For example, I own an Ender5Plus(comes stock with a v4.2.2 board). With my new v4.2.7 board, do I change all of the pinouts on the klipper ender5plus.cfg, and keep the other parameters? (the klipper ender5plus.cfg is for the v2.2.1 board)

  • You need to take most information / settings from the cfg of the new board as this is your new brain and needs to control all the hardware
  • Settings regarding the printer’s physical layout need to be taken from the original configuration, e.g.
    • [stepper_*] → rotation_distance
    • [stepper_*] → full_steps_per_rotation
    • [stepper_*] → position_min
    • [stepper_*] → position_endstop
    • [stepper_*] → position_max
    • [printer] → kinematics
    • [printer] → max_velocity
    • [printer] → max_accel
    • [printer] → max_z_velocity
    • [printer] → max_z_accel
