Mainboard Setup

Before installing the mainboard, there are a few preparation steps to ensure everything fits and works as expected.

Sanity Checks

If you have already printed out the Electronics Box, you can:

  1. Align the mainboard with the electronics box and confirm:
    • (If using a Manta M5P) The pin in the top left aligns with the mounting hole.
    • All three other mounting holes are alligned.
  2. If all is aligned, proceed. Otherwise, troubleshoot the fitment or reprint the electronics box. If unsure, reach out on the Community Discord.

Manta M5P

  1. Install the BigTreeTech CB1/CB2 (or Raspberry Pi CM4) onto the Manta M5P using 4 M2.5 x 6mm screws.
  2. Following BigTreeTech’s instructions, flash your CB1/CB2 or Raspberry Pi CM4 with Klipper and your preferred Web UI, we can move onto flashing Kalico later.

Final Check

  • Test that the CB1/2, or Pi CM4 boots, connects to your network and that you have access to your Web UI of choice. If all is good, we can move onto the next step.
