Below are my print settings for Klipper. I typically use 2 profiles, one for rapid prototyping, and one for high quality. Faster speeds are achievable with Klipper but my goal is NOT to reach the ultimate speed to print a 3D benchy! I want to print fast parts at good quality.
Printer Configuration
- Printer: Ender 3 Pro with BMG E3D V6 Direct Drive
- Mainboard: BTT SKR Mini E3 V3
- Filament: Sunlu PLA+
- Nozzle: 0.4mm
- Firmware: Klipper with this config file
- Vrefs: X,Y,Z = 0.80A Peak = 0.58A RMS (corresponds to a VREF of 1.10V on Creality V4.2.7 mainboard) and E = 0.87A Peak = 0.62A RMS (corresponds to a VREF of 1.20V on Creality V4.2.7 mainboard)
