A ready-to-use replacement image for Sovol's KlipperScreen can be downloaded at:

https://github.com/torte71/mksklipad50-klipper-images/releases/tag/v25.5.0-trunk.87-01

(Extract it using 7zip - or use Etcher, it can directly write .img.xz files.)

It is based on a recent Armbian Bookworm for the MKS-Klipad50 (v25.5.0-trunk.87-bookworm-minimal):

Flashing the printer board ("mcu")

Please note that the printer itself ("mcu") needs to be updated as well (not just the KlipperScreen), otherwise it will complain about an outdated klipper version on the mcu and not be able to print. For convenience, there is a ready compiled klipper0120439.bin in the image (which you can easily access directly after flashing, it's located in the root of the eMMC/USB-stick).

Flashing the the image to eMMC card

If you have an eMMC adapter, you can use these guides to flash the image:

If you don't have that adapter, you can follow these guides for flashing using USB-sticks:

(*) Vasyl's version allows creating a full backup before overwriting the original eMMC: Just follow its step to point 6 "Flashing the image onto EMMC" and switch the source ("if=") and destination ("of="), so it reads dd of=backup.img if=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress.

Instructions for updating the "klipper0120439.bin" can be found on the Updating Klipper page.

Contents of the image

The image was created as described here: Rebuilding on Armbian-mainline v25.5 (MKS-KLIPAD50)

Contents of the image:

  • MKS-Klipad50 image (Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.87_Mksklipad50_bookworm_current_6.12.15_minimal.img.xz)
  • Default Klipper install: KIAUH, Klipper (v0.12.0-439-g1fc6d214), Moonraker (v0.9.3-59-g62051108), Mainsail (v2.13.2), Fluidd (v1.32.3), KlipperScreen (v0.4.5-50-ge71fe755), Crowsnest (v4.1.11-1-g87669ccd), G-Code-Shell-Command
  • Numpy for input shaper (see Vasyl's guide)
  • Makerbase/Sovol additions: makerbase-beep-service, makerbase-automount-service, makerbase-soft-shutdown-service, Powerloss recovery/plr-klipper
  • Sovol's printer.cfg for SV06 with following changes:
    • Removed deprecated option "accel_to_decel" to avoid warning
    • Included "BEEP" gcode and shell command
  • Screen rotation (portrait mode)
  • g-code-macro "BEEP" (already added to printer.cfg)
  • Packages and files of the Makerbase/Sovol additions can be found in "/root/sovolize" for easy install/deinstall using dpkg.
    The sources for these packages can be found in "/root/sovolize/sources/"

Settings you might want to change (or at least know)

Login passwords

  • Password for user "root": makerbase
  • Password for user "mks": makerbase
  • Location/Timezone: UTC

Timezone

To change the timezone, execute sudo armbian-config and select "Personal" and then "Timezone" (or use sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata).

Expand filesystem size

If you flash the ready image to an eMMC card bigger than 8GB, it will still only use the first 8GB of that card, the rest is unused.

To expand the filesystem that it uses the full size of the eMMC card:

  • Log into the device using ssh/putty
  • Execute sudo /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-resize-filesystem

Language

The language has to be changed in KlipperScreen, Mainsail and Fluidd separately.

Config files

The image comes with a printer.cfg for the (non-plus) SV06. You need to replace it with a version for your printer model.

(Using the unmodified image on SV07 printers will show warnings about temperatur sensors. These will go away once you've replaced the printer.cfg with a correct version for your printer.)

Thanks to all who helped testing, bug chasing and documenting. Special thanks to Vasyl Gontar for his support and of course to Maxim Medvedev for his work re-creating the build-system for the Makerbase boards.
