I actually have Marlin + Octoprint but found out recently that Klipper exist. I read everywhere that Klipper is better but I don’t really get why. I understand that Klipper use raspberry as powerfull calculator instead of the STM32 of the printer, but octoprint is used to send Gcode to Marlin too… So what’s the really difference please?
Edit : I don’t understand how Klipper or Marlin can give better results when gcode and instructions are generated by Cura
Thank you for the explanation!
You’re welcome. There is a lot more than that even. When you start digging through, Klipper allows you so much control. You can even have your printer run shell commands (deactivated by default because it so powerful, it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing)
You can control RGB LEDs and more. You can also connect many arduino isntesad of just one
I briefly considered using Klipper to make a clock that prints 1 layer per minute, but gave up after realizing it’d be unreadable after the first hour:
First of all, I need to fond out how to control my tasmota switch to turn on/off my printer and my led…
Tasmota is natively supported by moonraker
# moonraker.conf [power Printer] type: tasmota address: 192.168.1.124 password: mypasswordAre you running Home Assistant? Klipper/Mainsail has an integration for HA that will allow you to control your printer with it. You could use HA to control your Tasmota devices too.
No I’m not, but i’ll found a way
Looks like what I’m looking for Try it tonight
