fluidd VS moonraker-timelapse

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

Is Moonraker (https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse/) installed? If not, then SSH into your machine and install that: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse/blob/main/docs/installation.md.

Yes, the timelapse plugin I use (https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse/tree/main) produces videos exactly like those you see all over YT.

Because Fluidd/Mainsail are much more modern (and lightweight, though as you said that may not matter to most). Most of Octoprint's plugins have alternatives such as Moonraker Timelapse. Performance-wise OctoPrint may be ok, but it just feels old and clunky. Also Fluidd/Mainsail are much more mobile friendly

If you are talking about this: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse/tree/main it should work, at least chechbashisms doesn't find problems with the only two scripts (install, uninstall) I found in this repo.

Most Klipper users are using moonraker-based UI's like Mainsail or Fluidd (and moonraker-timelapse for timelapse)

This is what helped me get setup, don't forget to look at the section that says to install ffmpeg, this is for time lapse but it does say how to setup the pi cam https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse/blob/main/docs/installation.md

Have you tried this?

I'm using Klipper with an Ender 3 S1 Pro. I added https://github.com/mainsail-crew/moonraker-timelapse and was prepared to make award winning awesome videos of all my incredible prints, so I could share them here and make you all jealous.
