kiauh VS 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.

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.

Have you tried the official sample config for that printer?

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.
