Quick Start

Goal of this guide: Complete the system deployment and firmware flashing of the Fly-PI V3 motherboard within 30 minutes, making it ready to connect to Klipper and perform basic tests.

Completion indicator: Access the Klipper interface via a web browser.

Important Notes
  • Required accessories: The Fly-PI V3 must be used with a Fly-M2WE or TF card, otherwise the system will not start.
  • Power requirements: Input voltage range 12V-24V, do not exceed this range.
  • Safe operation: Ensure power is disconnected before any wiring! When flashing firmware, follow the guide's instructions.
  • Tool preparation: Prepare basic tools such as a screwdriver and data cable in advance.
  • System startup: It is recommended not to install a screen during the first startup. Subsequent configurations can be done via SSH connection.

Recommendations:

  • It is advisable to configure and test extended features one at a time to avoid changing too many parameters simultaneously.
  • Camera configuration requires additional USB camera device support.
  • Resonance compensation requires an accelerometer sensor.
  • Tool board connection is suitable for multi-tool head 3D printers.
