DWIN_T5UIC1_LCD VS mainsail

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

Klipper is awesome and once it’s installed and up and running I can control my printer via my LAN network and upload STL’s and control the printer using the Mainsail Web interface. https://docs.mainsail.xyz

I prefer Klipper. It requires another computer (such as a raspberry pi) but it is so much easier to modify and make changes. It also has built in leveling functions and other great benefits. https://docs.mainsail.xyz/ https://www.klipper3d.org/

It's https://docs.mainsail.xyz/

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.

Convert that thing to a corexy via Mercury One, throw a Stealthburner on it, and get yourself a raspberry pi to run Klipper/Mainsail.

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.

Personally I prefer Mainsail. But Fluidd is also popular.

If you can get ahold of a Raspberry Pi, MainsailOS is a prebuilt sd card image that has everything preinstalled.
