- 7-inch Precise Control Screen
- 1024x600 Resolution
- 64-bit Mainboard
Creality's Sonic Pad is a Klipper-based 3D printing touchscreen compatible with most of FDM printers, including the pre-configured models like the Ender-3 Pro/Ender-5 Plus/Ender-3 Max/Ender-3 S1 Plus/CR-10 Smart/CR-10S Pro V2/CR-10 V3/Ender-3S1/Ender-3S1 pro/Ender-3v2/Ender-3V2 NEO. A powerful combination of software and hardware ensures unparalleled 3D printing performance, the Sonic Pad brings Klipper to its array of 3D printers with sleek hardware and an intuitive, open-source touchscreen OS and at a compelling price.
Klipper is a firmware that came out as an alternative to Marlin when the limited processing capabilities of 8-bit mainboards started bottlenecking print speeds. Instead of using the 3D printer’s primary mainboard as the main processing powerhouse, Klipper is installed on a secondary Linux-based computer – usually a single-board computer (SBC) like a Raspberry Pi – which takes over the heavy G-code processing, relegating the printer’s mainboard to simple execution with the lightweight “Klippy” firmware.

Questions & Answers
FAQ
Q1: Severe stringing when printing?
A: Check whether the relevant parameters of the slicing file match the connected printer model, such as whether to enable retraction, retraction distance, retraction speed, printing speed, and other parameters. If they do not match, you need to re-adjust the parameters and re-slicing.
Q2: When resuming printing after a pause, an error is reported out of range?
A: Open the printer setting option of the slicing software, and add the G90 command before other motion commands in the initial Gcode. It is recommended to use Creality Print slicing software, which already adds the required starting Gcode commands by default.
Q3: Can't connect to Wi-Fi network?
A: 1. Try to search for other Wi-Fi and connect to confirm whether it can be connected normally (the current device supports WPA2 encryption method, but does not support WPA3, and only supports the 2.4G frequency band);
2. Check the correctness of the password and whether the router is normal.
Q4: How to generate time-lapse photography files?
A: The camera file will be generated only after the document is printed, and the time-lapse camera file will not be generated if the printing is stopped in the middle, the power is off, the camera is unplugged, etc.
Q5: How to export logs?
A: 1. In the home page or printing page: insert the U drive, click "Configuration"--"Other Settings"--"Export Log", select the export location, and click the export button, the default export location is the root directory of the U drive.
2. In the disconnected page: insert the U drive, click "Settings" - "Export Log", select the export location and click the export button, the default export location is the root directory of the U disk.
Q6: Why can't I resume printing after a power outage?
