We have recently received feedback from some Klipper printer users that they are unable to connect when using Beagle cameras (V1&V2). Therefore, we take Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus as an example to explain in detail the beagle camera (V1&V2) connection steps for the reference of Klipper printer users (Elegoo Neptune 4 series, Sovol SV07 & SV08 series/SVT300/SVT500, Flsun V400, Creality Sonic Pad, Artillery Sidewinder X4 series, Kingroon KP3S Pro V2/KLP1, etc.).
1. The Way to Connect Beagle Camera (V1&V2) with Klipper Printer
There are currently two ways for the Beagle camera to connect to the Klipper printer: the first method is to connect wirelessly through our APP: Beagleprint, and the second is to add the Beagle camera to Fluidd/Mainsail for use. The following is an example of incorrectly using the camera to connect：
- When connected to a Klipper printer, the camera only needs to be plugged in with the power cord. Please do not use a USB cable to connect the camera and Klipper printer.
- Please do not connect to the browser management page that comes with the camera.
2. Use the APP: Beagleprint to connect the beagle camera and Klipper Printer (take Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus as an example)
- Power on the printer, and then find the printer IP address information on the printer control screen.
- Power on the camera and set the printer model in the APP. Enter the printer model and IP address information, then click “Save”.
- After saving the printer settings, click “Connect”.
Note:
- The camera needs to be in the same LAN as the Klipper printer.
- If the camera cannot connect to the printer after following the above steps, please restart the camera and APP and click “connect” again.
- The printer IP address information entered in the APP needs to be consistent with what is displayed on the printer control screen. Do not add other characters.
- For Klipper printers using the Creality Sonic pad or Raspberry Pi etc. (multi-serial management devices), you need to find the printer’s specific IP address information on the printer’s Web page.
3. Add the Beagle Camera(V1&V2) to Mainsail/Fluidd
