    https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/issues/2546 The official statement as of 2020 is that Klipper “doesn’t support touchscreens.” I’m guessing KlipperScreen was created in response to this.

  • Using a skr mini e3 v2.0 board for a few months and had no issues, today it just randomly started doing this with my extruder stepper motor. I plugged in a different extruder and it turns out that it does the same thing where it vibrates a bunch and gets very hot when I tell it to extrude/retract…

    Here's what I'm using for config right now, but I'm still tuning it, so YMMV. I based this on a combination of the generic-bigtreetech-skr-2.cfg and printer-creality-ender5plus-2019.cfg configs from the Klipper config repo.

What are some alternatives?
