Need printer.cfg for Sidewinder X1 with a Ruby 1.1 board and no BLTouch

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Sidewinder X1
MCU / Printerboard: BTT Manta E3EZ
Host / SBC: CB1
klippy.log (67.5 KB)

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 am having a B of a time getting this to work. I have a Sidewinder X1 with a Ruby 1.1 that will no longer connect via the onboard USB-B port. So I am trying to upgrade the SWX1 to a Manta E3EZ + CB1. I believe I’ve got everything set up/configured, but I’m hitting an ‘mcu’ error during config: Not a valid ADC pin. I assume this is related to the printer.cfg but I can’t find the error. So to that end, where can I find a printer.cfg for a Sidewinder X1 with a Ruby 1.1 board and no BL Touch? TIA

Hello @slaybol !

You are sure you have that?

The pinout looks very different to your config in the klippy.log

Hi @ EddyMI3D! Sorry, let’s try this again. I sent the log for the first time I tried and messed up. This is the klippy.log after I did a clean image and boot. Now, I know that I need to find a config for the X1 that is matched to the pinouts on the E3EZ, but that’s what I can’t find. Tons of configs for Ender’s, but nothing for Artillery X1’s with the Ruby 1.1 board.

On a side note, I’m also wondering if the E3EZ with CB1 is the right solution for an old printer, and If I should have gone for a BTT Skr 1.4 or a Skr 3 mini e3 instead.

Edited to add, thank you.

Please never edit a log file. Always attach the complete one. If too large, you can compress (zip) it.

No, I literally edited it to say thank you. Then I added the correct .log. Sorry. Should I start over?

Somewhere in your printer.cfg you have a line that reads:

[include generic-bigtreetech-xxx.cfg]

Delete it and restart Klipper.

I did delete it, but there is nothing in the printer.cfg, as I have not been able to find a cfg file for this machine and board.

You need to build your own configuration:

  • Most of a printer’s configuration is defined by the chosen board. This “basic” configuration needs to be extended by the values that the board does not know, such as the position of the endstops, the minimum and maximum movement ranges, etc.
  • Start with the default configuration from the printer board, i.e. https://github.com/bigtreetech/Manta-E3EZ/blob/master/Firmware/Klipper/generic-bigtreetech-manta-e3ez.cfg
  • From the X1 configuration, take the values for:
    • rotation_distance
    • position_endstop
    • position_min
    • position_max
    • homing_speed
    • sensor_type
    • min_temp
    • max_temp
    • The entire [printer] section
  • Note that the above settings can appear multiple times with different values. These values define your printer’s capabilities that are not directly determined by the board.
