# Klippain Shake&Tune Module
This Klippain "Shake&Tune" repository is a standalone module from the [Klippain](https://github.com/Frix-x/klippain) ecosystem, designed to automate and calibrate the input shaper system on your Klipper 3D printer with a streamlined workflow and insightful vizualisations.
![logo banner](./docs/banner.png)
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).
Check out the **[detailed documentation of the Shake&Tune module here](./docs/README.md)**. You can also look at the documentation for each type of graph by directly clicking on them below to better understand your results and tune your machine!

## Installation
For those not using the full [Klippain](https://github.com/Frix-x/klippain), follow these steps to integrate this Shake&Tune module in your setup:
1. Run the install script over SSH on your printer:
```bash
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](./docs/README.md).
