Fly-DP5 Documentation Index

Quick Navigation​

1. Preparation​

Hardware Checklist:

  • Mainboard: Fly-DP5
  • Host Computer:
    Host Computer Compatibility Notes
    • Recommended Models: Fly-PI-V3, Raspberry Pi 4/5, and other standard host computers
    • Unsupported Models: Redmi phones, WiFi dongles & set-top boxes, various non-standard modified host computers
    • Important Note: Using non-standard host computers may lead to system instability, functional anomalies, or inability to operate normally.
  • Data Cable: One Type-C data cable
  • Connection Method: Must use Type-C to connect to the host computer
  • Power Supply: 12V‑24V power adapter (ensure voltage is within range)
  • Computer: Windows PC (or other computer capable of using SSH tools)
Preparation Notes
  • It is recommended to use a reliable, high-quality Type-C data cable. Poor-quality cables may cause unstable connections.
  • The power adapter's wattage must meet the printer's requirements; a minimum of 300W is suggested.
  • Ensure the host computer has a Klipper-related system (e.g., MainsailOS) installed.

2. User Guide & Important Notes​

Core Principle: Most issues are caused by configuration, connection, or power supply inconsistencies. Below are important notes for the Fly-DP5:

3. Firmware Flashing & Device Identification​

1. Firmware Explanation & Mode Selection​

2. Flashing USB or CAN Firmware​

Choose the corresponding firmware based on the connection method:

Notes for This Step
  • Device Identification: After flashing, be sure to record the Device ID/UUID, as this is essential information for Klipper configuration.
  • Fallback Plan: If flashing fails, you can try flashing the BL firmware first.

4. Hardware Connection & Klipper Configuration​

Includes:

  • Explanation of mainboard interface functions
  • Wiring methods for motors, heaters, sensors, etc.
  • Klipper reference configuration files

Connection Safety Tips
  • Before performing any wiring operations, ensure the power supply is completely disconnected.
  • Always double-check power polarity; incorrect connection may damage the mainboard.
  • Refer to your printer frame diagram for motor wiring sequence.
  • Check thermocouple connections before heating the heated bed and hotend.

5. Advanced Features & Configuration (Optional)​

Optional Features:

  • Marlin Firmware: Use Marlin firmware as an alternative to Klipper.
  • External Toolboard: Supports multi-toolhead systems.

Related Documentation:

Extended Function Notes
  • It is recommended to configure and test extended functions one by one to avoid changing too many parameters simultaneously.
  • Toolboard connection is suitable for multi-toolhead 3D printers.

6. Technical Documentation & Resources​

Includes:

  • Schematic download
  • PCB layout diagram
  • 3D model files
