When I first purchased this for my 3d Printer, I was afraid that the process for installing Klipper would be just as difficult as it has been in the past for me, but I was pleasantly surprised. This device is really almost entirely plug and play with a helpful screen and tutorial to walk you though setting up your printer. It has almost become essential for me and I can't imagine myself without it now as it adds so much convenient functionality to my printer. My favorite part about the Sonic Pad has to be that once you calibrate your printer, you're able to print at much higher print speeds while not sacrificing much in the way of print quality. It offers far more than that, allowing you to expand the ways you have in controlling your 3D Printer, from the bright and large 7 inch tablet display of the Sonic Pad itself to pretty much any device that has access to the internet and can open a web browser. Not to mention you're able to set up features like webcams and timelapsing and even AI detection for failed prints. There are some issues however that I hope will be fixed in time with firmware updates. First, sometimes the screen can be unresponsive when you're trying to cancel or start a print and I've had my printer refuse to trigger any of the end stops randomly and my bed probe has even stopped working randomly. These things never happened to me before the firmware change. A quick restart can fix these issues, however it's still a bit frustrating to deal with considering the price. Also, while setting up your printer is somewhat detailed, other calibrations that you might want to do are left to you to figure out, meaning if you have never done it before or don't know the correct way to do so... you might struggle to do it right. Overall, I love this device and I think anyone who is into 3D Printing should snag one up! If not for anything, grab one for the ease of use in installing Klipper!

So this isn't something a beginner in 3d printing should get. It's capable of lots of things but it does require a good deal of setup. For the supported printers I'm sure it works fine out of the box but it can use almost any other printer out there. You just have to compile the klipper binary for the board that you have, flash it to your board, and provide the sonic pad a clean printer.cfg that will get it connected. After that there's a ton of calibration and configuration to do to make it print properly. There are features that it could support on every printer but doesn't. It won't let you connect to creality cloud without a specific printer for example. All in all its worth the buy. I just wish it could handle a usb hub and didn't have 2 ports on the side that you immediately have to use for connecting to your printer. Oh you can plug in a network cable but I suggest forgetting the wifi if you do. Otherwise it'll have 2 network connections and it'll get confused and not work properly.

Don't even bother with this thing. If i could give this ZERO stars i would. I have Creality printers and thought this would be a plug and play, don't get me wrong this might actually be good, if it worked at all. Plugged it all in, ran it through the setup, the only settings i had time to change in the configuration section were z offset and recalculating my extruder. Tried a 15 min test print, got 99% done and threw an Error: Move out of range. Thought it was weird bc i didn't move the printer, the cable didn't disconnect, and i didn't lose power, but it was acting like i did. Tried to print again, threw the same error, weird but no luck getting answers from the internet. Apparently this Went to run input shaping (99% the reason i bought it) and it threw Can Not update MCU config error and wouldn't let me connect to the printer. Reboot Klipper, reboot the firmware, restart, same error and won't connect to printer even though it's plugged in. Did a factory reset, went through all the same setup including refreshing my printer, and wouldn't connect to the printer, reset, another error, reset, a different error code. If i could even get it to connect to the printer it would throw the same MCU error. Tried searching the internet for answers but apparently this thing was pushed out heavy with a lot of bugs and they're still not fixed. Couldn't get a single answer online other than, Creality customer support recommends rebooting, or starting over from the beginning (didn't work) This advertises it runs on klipper, well kinda sorta. Its like this interface has an interruption point from Klipper to your printer. You can connect from your computer remotely, but it will throw errors as it still has to go through this. After the 6th different error code i couldn't justify keeping this and trying to figure out what's wrong with it. Tried it for less than a day and wanted to smash it with a bat but i'll return it and use the money to get a Pi and a touchscreen, at least on the klipper discord you can get answers there. They won't touch the sonic pad and the Klippy logs don't tell you what actually is wrong. I'm not a programmer and the language is foreign to me but through the online interface i have a grasp on redoing parts of the config file. I wasn't about to go into the root folder of this thing and void any possible way to return it. Creality started as a good company on the reprap opensource ideal and it was my first 3d printer, but more and more they're leaning into products that feed off that but have non compatibility issues and proprietary parts. Started small with nozzles for their hotends and other hardware but it's bled into the software aspect. Time to build a VORON

I have been using the Sonic Pad with my Ender 3 for a few months, mostly on weekends. It makes some things easier, and I am printing about 50% faster, but I have also run into a bug or two, and there are a few things I don’t like very much. Basic Setup Setting my printer up to work with the Sonic Pad was pretty simple. Although basic setup will not allow you to print super fast just yet, it does make calibrating the printer easier, and you can still use the printer at normal speeds. You will also now be able to send files to your printer over WIFI, or with a USB thumb drive, and monitor the printer remotely from your computer or phone. No more fiddling with the microSD card slot. You can add a USB webcam and monitor your prints from anywhere if you download a app to your phone. If you have a printer with a basic screen and scroll wheel, the Sonic Pad will be your primary interface, and you will no longer be using the old screen. I was able to add a USB webcam pretty easily. There is a dedicated port on the back of the Sonic Pad in addition to the 3 USB ports for connecting printers. PID tuning the hot end and heated bed is really easy with the Sonic Pad. It only takes some tapping on the sonic pad, and waiting 6 minutes or so as the pad cycles the heating elements. The X and Y axis of my calibration cube were dead on. The Z axis steps required a small adjustment that took some math and typing the new number into the Sonic Pad. The extruder was dead on. I have an all-metal hotend, a MicroSwiss, and changing the maximum nozzle temperature is as simple as typing a different number in the advanced settings, and then restarting the Sonic Pad. To do the same thing with Marlin firmware requires downloading some software and calibration files for your mainboard and printer, and then finding the maximum temperature settings, changing them, recompiling a custom firmware, and then uploading the firmware to your printer. Editing Marlin firmware that many printers use will not be a simple thing for most people to do. I can create and edit hot end and heated bed temperature presets in the web portal, but I have not found a way to edit or add presets in the pad yet. Advanced Setup The Sonic Pad creates Klipper firmware for the printer that can use input shaping to prevent resonant frequencies and vibrations from ruining your print when printing at high speeds. You can do this from the Sonic Pad, but you will need to print out a couple fixtures to hold the included accelerometer to the bed and the hot end assembly of your printer. The bracket for the hot end was included on the USB drive that came in the package. I had to go to thingiverse and download a bed mount. The Sonic Pad also has a setting for pressure advance. The pressure advance setting prevents bulging on corners. You will need to send some gcode to the Sonic Pad with the web UI, run a test print, make a measurement, do some multiplication, and type the number into the Sonic Pad. It sounds more complicated than it really is. Because the Sonic Pad is rather expensive, you should really consider whether you want to upgrade your old printer, or just upgrade to a faster printer. With bedslinger printers in particular, there is a limit to how fast you can go before belts slip and ruin your print. Bugs and Issues: I had a print fail twice on me with “motion out of range” errors before even starting to print. After rebooting the Sonic Pad, I ran the same gcode again, and it ran fine. After initial setup with the configuration settings from Creality, the acceleration settings were so high that the Y-axis belt would slip and cause layer shifts, even though I had the belt tension as tight as I could get it without causing drag. Perhaps if I weren’t using the heavy glass bed (it came with my printer!), then I wouldn’t have this problem? If you want to have the screen shut off after a few minutes of idle time, it is difficult to “wake up” the screen again. I have to tap on the screen multiple times to get it to turn on again. Conclusion: The Sonic Pad does make calibrating the printer much easier. It will allow you to print nice square corners, which is nice. I am printing faster than I was with Marlin firmware, but I’m still working on finding realistic maximum print speed and acceleration settings. The pad makes 3D printing simple and more accessible to people that aren’t very tech-saavy, while also offering some advanced features for more experienced or adventurous users. Klipper firmware is easier to edit than the Marlin firmware that many printers use. I might be proven wrong at sometime in the future, but I think Marlin firmware is a dying breed. I’m kind of irritated that there doesn’t seem to be a way to edit filament preset temperatures, or add additional filament presets in the pad settings for use in the pad itself. Creality should update the setup to include adaptive bed meshing (KAMP), finding instructions for setting up adaptive meshing on the Sonic Pad took me a few days, and a few failed attempts.

After reading some of the reviews on Amazon and online, I had decided I would return this before I had received it. I ended up giving it a chance just because. I got my first 3D printer less than a week ago (Ender 3 max neo) for my small business to design some stuff that was lacking from the factory, so needless to say I’m very new at this. I decided on an upgrade quickly because that’s what I do, my cars barely make it out of their first week without some tinkering. Setup: The Sonic pad connects easily, you are asked to flash the printer with the included usb stick, which of course the Ender 3 max neo only has an sd slot. Even with the pad connected straight to the printer it wouldn’t flash. Finally got it to flash the printer after transferring files to an sd. The WiFi kept saying the password was wrong, after many attempts I just plugged it into LAN, and off it went. After connecting it that way and it downloading a few updates for it the WiFi decided to connect. Make sure you set a static IP in your router for the pad, or else viewing on your computer will mean having to input the new IP address each time it power cycles. The rest of the setup was a snap, the biggest issue I had was the way the on screen setups were worded. Calibration is much more detailed, and you get a visual reference of how level the bed is. I’ll update this as I get farther into it, but so far the learning curve isn’t as much as people had said. Straight out of the box after the setup, the print speeds are at minimum twice as fast, with the detail actually being better. If you’re new to the hobby, I wouldn’t be discouraged, a vet may not like it. I personally couldn’t be happier with it, since I’m learning both printing and Klipper simultaneously.

I knew that at some point I would have to upgrade my Ender 5 Plus to get the performance and quality I wanted from my prints. I was confused by Klipper, and the extraneous hardware needed, and I really didn't understand many of the technical details, so I was pretty excited when the Sonic Pad came out over a year ago. That said, watching videos an reading reports of peoples experiences left me unsure of my ability to get one up and running. As part of a major upgrade to my machine, I added a Spider 3.0 hotend, and a Sprite direct drive extruder, I went ahead and bought the Sonic Pad. Installation was straight forward. I used the USB cable that came with the printer as it appears to be more robust than the one that came with the Sonic Pad, and as soon as I booted up the Sonic Pad, it registered on my home network and immediately downloaded a firmware upgrade. I selected my printer from a list (make sure you know which driver board and Processor chip your machine has) and the Sonic Pad flashed new firmware to my printer. Set up and calibration are pretty simple, and the new software includes routines to do PID calibrations on the hotbed and hotend. You may want to print a bracket to hold the resonance sensor provided before starting the installation. This small sensor runs a routine that detects the native vibrations caused by your machine, then uses that data to compensate during printing, allowing higher speeds and better quality. Within a half hour, I was making my first print, and I was blown away by the increased speed, and the improvement in quality. It has cut many of my print times in half, with better end quality.

Okay I am going to be blunt. This unit is amazing and the concept is fantastic, but the user manual and the whole initial setup and configuration process / instructions provided with the unit suck big time. Creality missed the ball in terms of explaining the whole initial setup and configuration and I now understand why so many people are complaining about this unit bricking their printer. First off before you do anything, make sure you print the extruder mount for the calibration sensor. Secondly when the system starts walking you through installing the new firmware for your printer save yourself some headaches and use the USB port diagram link displayed on the top of the SonicPAD screen and make sure you have plugged everything in to the correct USB ports. For me at least the unit failed to see the printer or the SD Card because I had them plugged in to the wrong USB ports. Third, the new firmware file is super small so it will write very quickly and it may seem like the firmware is corrupted because the file is so small. Isay this because after flashing the firmware my Ender 3 S1pro's screen started to display the Creality logo and then stopped like the firmware was corrupted because the printer's screen was hung with only 8 dots on the screen. I later found out that this is normal and the reason the SonicPAD wouldn't connect to my Ender 3 S1pro was due to a faulty USB cable that came with the pad. After replacing the cable with a standard USB A to USB C cable and plugging it in to the correct USB port, port 2, everything worked fine. Which brings me to the last issue. If you buy this unit, be prepared to spend a little time setting the unit up and before you start installing this unit, print off the Extruder mount and make sure you have some double sided tape available so you can calibrate the unit using the included sensor. Another issue with the instructions / manual is that they don't explain what you should use to mount the sensor to the build plate during calibration or that the sensor doesn't need to stay connected to the Extruder after calibration. To sum things up, if Creality just took some time to redo their instructions and manual, it would make this product so much better, but it would also prevent customers from thinking they had bricked their printer when they haven't. So my advice is, if you want to try Klipper and speed up your prints considerably and you have a Creality printer, then definitely buy this, but before you install it go to YouTube and watch the video on "Using the SonicPAD with the Ender 3 S1pro" so you get an idea of what the whole process looks like, so you are prepared for the whole process. Other than that I hope Creality addresses the installation process or at the least they update their User Manual (v5+) so that it explains every step in detail.

So the best thing I can say about this at this moment is that it gave me the push I needed to switch from Marlin to Klipper. The worst thing about it is that being completely new to Klipper, I have a lot to figure out as far what software options are available that best fit my needs. This goes from new slicer software on my PC as well as cloud software to transfer sliced files from my PC to the Sonic Pad itself. If you're used to slicing with Cura and just transferring the SD card to the printer and printing, while you can do this still you have to copy the file from the SD to the local storage on the PAD and the on PAD adjustment controls, while still better than with most other screens, is lacking compared to what you can do with some of the remote connecting software from what little I've seen and read online. There arent a whole lot of in depth instructions I've found for this yet and I've gotten the impression the Sonic Pad is like the red headed step child in the Klipper community for some reason and finding a one size fits all solution that is quick and easy with full functionality isn't something I've come across yet for my needs. So if you're switching from Marlin with no experience of any kind with Klipper, be prepared to put some time into getting everything set up and tweaked for your set up. That being said, the aspect of getting the "Klipper Firmware" installed for a stock Creality machine. I have a couple Ender 3's as well as a 5+ and initial firmware flashing if you have a matching system to one of the pre-made profiles is quick and painless. I had to switch back to a stock Creality Mainboard from my SKR Mini E3v2 due to the lack of information I was finding online as to what exactly all the the parameters in the custom firmware setup screen needed to be set at. Even on Klippers website I didnt find much on the sonic pad for online resources explaining it...hence the red headed stepchild classification. Overall it is much less daunting than the process of learning how to make Marlin firmware and learning Visual Studio code and Platform IO with no coding experience, but there is a bit of a learning curve none the less. I will update and may improve the rating once I go through everything more in depth and get the software figured out. But for now, getting even a stock creality printer running with klipper and all of the features it has at full potential... the claim of "plug and play" is so much of a stretch its almost an outright lie.
