Simple AF

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO YOUR PRINTER - INSTALLING CUSTOM FIRMWARE IS A RISK

The Simple AF project is for anyone who wants to use a Microprobe, BLTouch, 3dtouch, Crtouch, Cartographer or BTT Eddy with their K1, K1C or K1 Max and use vanilla klipper and no Creality Gcode.

If you wish to keep using the nozzle for levelling and z-offset, this is not the guide you are looking for!

If you want to use your strain guages but not prtouch, then check this out instead: https://github.com/cryoz/K1_tenso_manual/blob/main/README_ENG.md

If you wish to use the Guilouz Helper script, this guide is not the guide you are looking for! The Guilouz Helper and Creality scripts for Mainsail and Fluid are not compatible with this project.

Note: Lidar is not supported by this project, it uses proprietary code from creality.

This project supports the following probes:

• Microprobe
• BLTouch, 3dTouch, CrTouch
• Cartographer - Carto Touch (aka Survey Touch) and Carto Scan (old style)
• BTT Eddy

The installation script will perform the following steps:

• Disable creality services
• Install Emergency Factory Reset feature
• Install Bash
• Replace Creality cam_app and old mjpg_streamer with entware mjpg_streamer
• Install Moonraker
• Install Moonraker Timelapse - no longer enabled by default
• Install Nginx
• Install Fluidd and Fluidd Config
• Install Mainsail
• Install KAMP
• Install Vanilla Klipper
• Install Guppyscreen
• Setup bltouch/crtouch/3dtouch, Microprobe, Cartographer/Cartotouch or Btt Eddy

Installation

Microprobe

Find the Microprobe guide

BLTouch, 3dtouch or Crtouch

Find the Bltouch guide

Cartographer

This is the new version of the carotographer which supports touch and scan and allows using a carto without turning the camera on and off.

Find the Cartographer Touch and Scan guide

BTT Eddy

Find the BTT Eddy guide

Legacy Cartographer

This is for the old 4.0.0 cartographer firmware which turns the camera on and off for carto activities and is deprecated soon to be removed.

Find the Legacy Cartographer guide

Returning to Helper Script

If you want to return to helper script, you should run a factory reset first with:

/etc/init.d/S58factoryreset reset

If you factory reset your printer after using this project, the creality stock screen will most likely show a 3002 error. This is perfectly normal, it just means that the firmware flashed to the Nozzle, Bed and MCU is too new. If you wish to return to stock and/or Guilouz helper, just physically restart the printer a second time and the error will go away. If you are going to reinstall this project, you do not need to do anything, we will be replacing the stock screen with guppyscreen soon enough.
