    That sounds like a Klipperscreen bug. You should probably report it.

  • Can I use a fluidd/mainsail like UI in place of octoprint?
    4 projects | /r/prusa3d | 29 Nov 2022
    Fluidd and Mainsail are frontends for Moonraker. Moonraker is an API server for Klipper. There are other frontends for Moonraker too, such as KlipperScreen.

  • Is a pi3b sufficient?

    Mainsail has a daemon tool to help fix the issue after which I used seemed to make thing much better… it’s called sonar https://github.com/mainsail-crew/sonar
  • FLSun Speeder Pad NIC performance is awful. My wireless router is 3 feet from the Speeder Pad, and my desktop is 6 feet from Router. Ran a ping to google (2.2% packet loss, avg 3.389ms) and the speeder pad (50.3% packet loss, average 600ms avg) - So it's faster to get to google than 6ft to speeder.

    I actually used sonar (https://github.com/mainsail-crew/sonar) and have not been disconnected for days... Kinda a hacky way to do it, but it works.

    Unparsed config option 'origin: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/sonar.git' detected in section [update_manager sonar]. This may be an option no longer available or could be the result of a module that failed to load. In the future this will result in a startup error.
