fluidd VS klipper-macros

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

Alternatively, you could try using this macro to try to get Klipper to make use of those M205 commands, but I wouldn't recommend it. Klipper handles acceleration just fine on its own without the slicer controlling it.

Add a macro for M600 like this one https://github.com/Desuuuu/klipper-macros/blob/master/macros/M600.cfg

I took a few maros from this collection that I use daily like Wipe Line and Lazy Home.
