In search of a printer config with BL Touch

General Discussion
1

Basic Information:

Printer Model: ENDER 5 pro
MCU / Printerboard: BTT SKR mini e3v3
Host / SBC BTT Pad 7
klippy.log

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

Describe your issue:

i’ve got everything set on my upgrades but the printer-config file IF anyone can share with me or point me in the right direction for a printer-config file for an Ender 5 pro with a BTT SKR mini e3v3 and BL Touch using a BTT Pad 7 interface id greatly appreciate IF there’s a stock config file that can be edited to get this dialed in id be appreciate that as well. Never created a print-config file before but i’m willing to learn. Thanks in advance.

Hi @ScottSquatch68 ,

You can start with the SKR Mini E3 V3 config: klipper/config/generic-bigtreetech-skr-mini-e3-v3.0.cfg at master · Klipper3d/klipper · GitHub

Then adjust your axis limits accordingly to match with the Ender 5 Pro config: klipper/config/printer-creality-ender5pro-2020.cfg at master · Klipper3d/klipper · GitHub

Particularly these settings will need to be copied between the original Ender 5 Pro to the SKR Mini E3 V3 config:

[stepper_x]
rotation_distance: 40
position_endstop: 220
position_max: 220
homing_speed: 50

[stepper_y]
rotation_distance: 40
position_endstop: 220
position_max: 220
homing_speed: 50

[stepper_z]
rotation_distance: 4
position_max: 300
position_endstop: 0.0

[printer]
max_velocity: 300
max_accel: 3000
max_z_velocity: 5
max_z_accel: 100

For the BLTouch, you can add these sections to your config:

[bltouch]
sensor_pin: ^PC14 #Remove ^ if print head crashes into bed, the ^ is for the CR touch a bl touch should work without.
control_pin: PA1

[safe_z_home]
home_xy_position: 100, 100 # Change coordinates to the center of your print bed
speed: 50
z_hop: 10                 # Move up 10mm
z_hop_speed: 5

Then follow BL-Touch - Klipper documentation

How did you wire your BLTouch? The above config assumes you followed this diagram:

Hope that helps.

This may be helpful.

NOTE:
The author uses many [include] calls. BLtouch is in probes.cfg

Good morning

Thank you so much for your help. Much appreciated. I’ll be diving in shortly

Take care

I edited the generic BTT SKR mini e3 V3 printer.cfg file to include all setting changes for Ender 5 pro with BL Touch and Micro Swiss NG extruder using WinSCP saved and uploaded the file but I cannot seem to get this new printer-config file to be recognized on BTT Pad 7 or PuTTY. Is there anything specific i’m missing like renaming the file or a step, series of steps, wrong order of operations maybe Everything prior seemed to go rather smoothly now i’ve hit a wall with how to proceed.

There are several folders with a file named printer.cfg. Best method is to edit in Mainsail or Fluidd.

For reference the file klipper loads is under /home/[user]/printer_data/config

I’ll give a try. Much appreciated
