Product Details:
- Creality sonic pad uses precision-oriented algorithms to command the motors for higher printing speed. The built-in input shaper fanction will mitigate oscillation during high-speed printing and smooth out ringing, thus keeping the model quality.
- Beneath the large 7-inch touch control screen, the Klipper firmware runs in full swing on a powerful 64-bit computing platform.
- Sonic pad based on Klipper firmware can connect to almost any ender 3D printer on the market via a USB cable. By updating the system, it has been pre-configured for Ender-3 Pro,Ender-3 V2/Neo,Ender-3 Max/Neo,Ender-3 S1,Ender-3 S1 Pro,Ender-3 S1 Plus,Ender-5 S1,Ender-5 Pro,Ender-5 Plus 3D Printer, so you can get it going in seconds. The rest of Compatible Creality 3d printers will catch up soon.
- Creality 3d printer pad supports G-code model preview when slicing with the Creality Print, Ultimaker Cura, Pursa Slicer and Super Slicer.
- 4x USB port, 1x RJ45 port and 1xWi-Fi module are included. Connect USB camera can achieve real-time monitoring and time-lapse photography function. (Note: USB camera is not included)
- Sonic pad supports user-defined programmable macros, with each macro combining a series of commands to a specific function for higher efficiency. Open Source Commitment. Users will be free to modify and customize the source code.

I played with klipper with my girlfriend's K1. The touching part is nice, but I feel most other convenient features can be done with octoprint as well. I do not fiddle around with the firmware itself at all, which is an advantage of klipper but not very useful for me.
Ive used one of these for over a year to convert and control 4 Ender V3 SE via Klipper. It definitely isnt plug and play like Creality makes it seem but it isnt too difficult either. For example, two of the printers required editing the firmware to find the right voltage for the Z axis motors.
This will allow you to convert older Creality printers from Marlin to Klipper, which does a lot more than just 'add touch interface and input shaping'
It allows remote control, monitoring via camera, access to bed mesh, ability to batch print, increased print speeds... I could go on but it is too many things to list.
Octoprint is fine if thats your jam but Klipper and Mainsail/Fluidd is better.
Edit: btw I paid 90 for this refurb model when I bought it a year ago. Used to retail new for like 180

Keep in mind, this will replace/override the firmware built into the printer so you can only use the SonicPad going forward, but so far it's been worth it.
I'm going to get the refurb camera for $20 for time lapse.
If you are considering a raspberry pi/klipper or octoprint this is a cheaper alternative at this price point.
This is a crazy good deal if youre in the market for something like this. You cant even get a Raspberry Pi for this cheap.Ive used one of these for over a year to convert and control 4 Ender V3 SE via Klipper.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if this can be used on a printer to upgrade it and then taken off site to another printer while the first printer keeps the benefits?I sold a friend one of my enders and just curious if he would need this or I can just upgrade his for him but the klipper unit comes back with me. Thanks
I installed it on my old Ender 3 pro before and I was able to print faster than the hardware allowed but I was still hitting 200-300 m/s, which on an ender 3 pro is pretty impressive.
Also I forgot to add, if you do buy this for the Ender 3 V3 SE, be aware you WILL need to buy a separate serial to USB cable from creality. It isnt expensive, like 5-10$ but something to be aware of as an additional cost. AFAIK it is only the V3 SE that needs this cable.
