The 3MS is not tied to the K1 Max's electronics. It runs on a separate board. See the Instructions. |

I understand that it works on its own board. How does the printer and 3ms work synchronize if there is no physical connection between them? |

The 3MS's board is controlled by the same Klipper that your printer is controlled by and configured as another MCU. This way the 3MS macros can control them and Klipper can synchronize/desync the 3MS with your extruder. |

K1 max has a small root partition, 3MS is not installed in it. On this printer, all add-ons are usually installed in /usr/data. I cloned 3MS into this folder. Need to change paths in config files. Need your help |

I'd be happy to help. Which paths need changing? Are you getting any specific errors? |

I've added experimental support for the K1 in the install script. Updated installation instructions are available here. |

So am I correct in understanding (Say for example with the SKR Mini E3) once I have the steppers motors, extruders and the board assembled, this plugs directly into the K1's usb port? Or is firmware required on the board itself? |

Yes. The board (in this case an SKR) plugs directly into the K1's USB port. You will need to flash firmware to the SKR. |

I am actually having an issue where the K!Max doesn't have enough to clone the repository. any idea on how to fix that? I took out all extra things but it only gets to 88% and errors out. Thanks in advance |

The entire repository of the 3MS is ~100MB (including the documentation). Most installations only need the That should reduce the size to less than 1MB. EDIT: |

Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate that and I see you even updated the site. You’re awesome. I really appreciate the work you did. I bought the 3-D chameleon and it’s been a pain in the ass so thank you so much!Sincerely,Paul Andrew Vilbig Jr.On Sep 14, 2024, at 9:39 AM, Christopher Mattar ***@***.***> wrote:

git clone -b main --single-branch https://github.com/3DCoded/3MS
That should reduce the size to less than 1MB.

The only issue I have now is for some reason the variables folder is unable to be found.Sincerely,Paul Andrew Vilbig Jr.On Sep 14, 2024, at 9:39 AM, Christopher Mattar ***@***.***> wrote:

What EXACT error is DynamicMacros giving you? The full error text and/or a screenshot will really help me debug this. |

The error message you're facing wouldn't happen on standard Klipper. I would recommend rerooting everything. |

Hmm... It seems like a rooted K1 Series printer still runs Creality's custom Klipper. I've added a workaround for DynamicMacros. To install it:

That is closer. I've updated the code to try to fix this. To install it, use the previous instructions:

sorry for my not understanding of this as I have installed Octoprint in the past as well as rooted my K1. thought this should be a walk in the park as the instructions are fairly easy to understand but it seems that is not the case for me. |

This is likely because the K1 is using a heavily modified Klipper and a reduced Linux system. The 3MS is a lot easier to install on standard Klipper setups. For the K1, can you try running the following for the |

I am not finding anyway to update it to full klipper. It seems that pivlbig may have had success with this. Maybe he will comment on the steps he took to get it working. |

Sorry! Meant to write thanking you for helping because I do have it working! I’m working on fine tuning the distances right now. But the thread here that we were figuring it out on helped. I did a fresh root and reinstalled everything and it worked flawlessly with Klipper screen. Life got a little crazy sorry! I know I’m late but thank you for all your help. I will try to help when I can but I did start a new job but I am free on weekends so it might take me a little bit to get back to you guys! PS so glad I got a notification about the interview video. Glad to see your getting recognized for this awesome MMS!!! |

thanks for writing back. I am glad you got it working on your K1. When you have sometime I would love to hear how you got it installed. As I am having issues with just the simplest of tasks due to Creality print. as you can see above I got into the root but I cannot even get menuconfig to work Thanks for any help in advanced |

The 3MS now works with Happy Hare v3 (beta). As far as I understand, HH does support Creality K1 series 3D printers. Check out the beta in #29. |
