Quick Navigation​

1. Preparation​

Hardware Checklist:

  • Mainboard: Fly-D5
  • Host Machine:
    Host Machine Compatibility Notes
    • Recommended Models: Fly-PI-V3, Raspberry Pi 4/5, and other standard host machines
    • Unsupported Models: Redmi phones, WiFi dongles & set-top boxes, various non-standard modified host machines
    • Important Note: Using non-standard host machines may cause system instability, functional anomalies, or inability to operate normally
  • Data Cable: One Type-C data cable
  • Connection Method: Only use Type-C to connect to the host machine
  • Power Supply: 12V‑24V power adapter (ensure voltage is within range)
  • Computer: Windows computer (or other computer capable of using SSH tools)
Preparation Notes
  • It is recommended to use a reliable quality Type-C data cable; poor-quality cables may cause unstable connections.
  • The power adapter wattage must meet the printer's requirements; a minimum of 300W is suggested.
  • Ensure the host machine 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 Fly-D5:

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:

Step Explanation
  • Device Identification: After flashing, be sure to record the device ID/UUID, as it is essential for Klipper configuration.
  • Alternative Solution: 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
