Klippain Shake&Tune Module

This Klippain "Shake&Tune" repository is a standalone module from the Klippain ecosystem, designed to automate and calibrate the input shaper system on your Klipper 3D printer with a streamlined workflow and insightful vizualisations.

It operates in two steps:

1. Utilizing specially tailored Klipper macros, it initiates tests on either the belts or the printer X/Y axis to measure the machine axes behavior. This is basically an automated call to the Klipper TEST_RESONANCES macro with custom parameters.
2. Then a custom Python script is called to:
   1. Generate insightful and improved graphs, aiding in parameter tuning for the Klipper [input_shaper] system (including best shaper choice, resonant frequency and damping ratio) or diagnosing and rectifying mechanical issues (like belt tension, defective bearings, etc..)
   2. Relocates the graphs and associated CSV files to your Klipper config folder for easy access via Mainsail/Fluidd to eliminate the need for SSH.
   3. Manages the folder by retaining only the most recent results (default setting of keeping the latest three sets).

The detailed documentation is here.

Installation

For those not using the full Klippain, follow these steps to integrate this Shake&Tune module in your setup:

1. Run the install script over SSH on your printer:

   wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Frix-x/klippain-shaketune/main/install.sh | bash

2. Append the following to your printer.cfg file:

   [include K-ShakeTune/*.cfg]
   

3. Optionally, if you want to get automatic updates, add the following to your moonraker.cfg file:

   [update_manager Klippain-ShakeTune]
   type: git_repo
   path: ~/klippain_shaketune
   channel: beta
   origin: https://github.com/Frix-x/klippain-shaketune.git
   primary_branch: main
   managed_services: klipper
   install_script: install.sh
   

Note:

If already using my old IS workflow scripts, please remove everything before installing this new module. This include the macros, the Python scripts, the plot_graph.sh and the [gcode_shell_command plot_graph] section.

Usage

Ensure your machine is homed, then invoke one of the following macros as needed:

• BELTS_SHAPER_CALIBRATION for belt resonance graphs, useful for verifying belt tension and differential belt paths behavior.
• AXES_SHAPER_CALIBRATION for input shaper graphs to mitigate ringing/ghosting by tuning Klipper's input shaper system.
• VIBRATIONS_CALIBRATION for machine vibration graphs to optimize your slicer speed profiles.
• EXCITATE_AXIS_AT_FREQ to sustain a specific excitation frequency, useful to let you inspect and find out what is resonating.

For further insights on the usage of the macros and the generated graphs, refer to the K-Shake&Tune module documentation.
