DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD VS fluidd

The screen doesn’t work by default unfortunately. There is a workaround to get it working. But I found that the default screen is redundant since I’m controlling everything through my laptop or my phone using the web interface. So I removed the original screen entirely

Klipper supports use of a screen. Even the stock Ender 3 screen can be used.

For Moonraker: https://github.com/bustedlogic/DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD or this for Octoprint: https://github.com/odwdinc/DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD

if you’re using a rpi to run klipper you can kinda use it, https://github.com/odwdinc/DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD

I saw this project which seems to incorporate all of that by connecting the display directly to the pi, has anyone used this successfully?

i consider myself an intermediate linux/pi/etc user, as i can putz around, follow instructions, and usually fix my mistakes. now, i was curious if, through this method, would it be possible to use the included screen on the piboy and use the integrated controls?

I was looking around for how to get the V2's display working with klipper and Just found this: https://github.com/odwdinc/DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD

check out Fluidd

Perfect timing to thank to the team behind project Fluidd as well. After some time of inactivity, project has recovered and releasing regular updates, giving us awesome alternative the Mainsail UI.

That’s the fluidd logo in the top left

My recommendation if your just setting up: do yourself a huge favor and do not use OctoPrint. Instead I recommend using Mainsail of Fluidd. They’re both great web interfaces designed specifically for Klipper. Very fast, lightweight and take advantage of all available Klipper functions. Octoprint is very resource hungry.

In the past I used OctoPrint, but now I moved to Mainsail, because it has a better ui and some plugins are directly build in. You can install Kiauh and use it to install Mainsail or Fluidd next to OctoPrint.

You will need a raspberry pi, or an old laptop/pc that is x64. If raspberry pi, you can use either the mailsail or fluidd install image that will configure the entire ui and set up the basics for installing klipper. I’ll link to some videos that can help you if using a pi. Otherwise if using a desktop you will need to install Debian Linux and set up a user named pi and then use a project called kiauh which will allow you to configure mainsail or fluidd.

Personally I prefer Mainsail. But Fluidd is also popular.

Good catch! I've created an issue in GitHub and, once I get consensus on an approach, I'll look at fixing this
