kiauh VS DGUS-reloaded-Klipper

I just installed Ubuntu server and then used KIAUH to install Klipper. I was up and running in less than 20 minutes.

You can install Ubuntu on any spare laptop/desktop you might have and install Klipper using kiauh. https://github.com/dw-0/kiauh

There are several options for other firmware, the popular ones being Marlin, MRISCOC (“professional firmware” as you see it called around here), and Klipper. Klipper is the gold standard and I highly recommend it. People talk about how difficult it is to install, but it literally takes 15 minutes with KIAUH (an installation script that makes it dummy proof). There are tons of written and video goods online.

2: Download Kiauh

Second download the gcode_shell_command.py the script is currently maintained here, I'm including the Author's warning

Give it a try. It makes things so much easier. Follow the instructions on https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh from the section "Download and use KIAUH". Then start it by: "cd ~/KIAUH & ./KIAUH.sh" There choose install and you should see an option to install crowsnest. If that doesn't work, try either deleting the existing crowsnest directory, or uninstalling it using KIAUH. Whatever works. Then try to install crowsnest again. Let me know if that solves your problem 😊

Use Kiauh to install Klipper, with it you will be able to install Octoprint as well. It's the easiest way to have all set up correctly.

If you don't remember what you did just start over rather than dissecting what your raspi currently runs. Thanks to kiauh installing the whole deal takes like an hour, where 45 min is waiting for the thing to think. One cam should work out of the box, for two or more you need crowsnest iirc, which you can also install through kiauh.

The stock screen needs this klipper fork and their screen firmware https://github.com/Desuuuu/DGUS-reloaded-Klipper

I have the stock screen install currently. While it works with a modified version of Klipper (https://github.com/Desuuuu/DGUS-reloaded-Klipper), that release is 2-3 years old now. I use vanilla Klipper so that I can can stay up to date with the latest releases. I don't find much use to a screen because my computer is near my printer and I just use Fluidd (or Mainsail, or Octoprint, etc.).

I’m running it on all three of mine. It works well. There is nice firmware for the screen available from Desuuuu on GitHub. https://github.com/Desuuuu/DGUS-reloaded-Klipper

There is an old, now quite outdated, attempt at supporting the Ender 3 v2 touchscreen on Klipper through a fork. But that has not been updated in quite a while and it never really worked well enough to actually use in the first place. I strongly recommend you don't try to use that fork, but if you do you will need to recompile and re-flash the firmware as it uses an older version of Klipper. Again, this has not been updated in over a year. Do not try to use it.

With klipper i use https://github.com/Desuuuu/DGUS-reloaded-Klipper Shows temperatures and progress, i like it.
