There are two different methods for installing the Klipper on an Ender 3. These methods depend on the file output type, and this particular step is solely required for the .bin file format. Your 3D printer may or may not have a bootloader, depending on what printer you have. The M115 command is basically a command for “requesting the firmware version and capabilities of the current microcontroller or mainboard. It can be entered in the terminal window of any software that can send your 3D printer G-Code commands.

• This contains EZABL mounts, Gantry leveling Blocks, Solid bed mounts, and Bed Level test files.
• Usually, you can check it easily if you have downloaded the right firmware.
• All that is left to do is connect the 3D printer to a computer via a USB B cable and upload using a slicer.
• The Linksys WRT54G is a wireless router; you can see an example when downloading the firmware for this router.
• Other device manufacturers require the user to visit the manufacturer’s website to download and install firmware updates manually.

Connect the printer to the Raspberry Pi using the USB cable and turn the printer on. If this is the first time flashing firmware since installing the bootloader, the screen will just be blank. 6) Once it says the firmware has been updated successfully, the Viki LCD screen should read the correct printer model.
