klipper VS FluiddPI

There is _a lot_ wrong with Marlin. It is a complex codebase, full with ancient artefacts, litterred with preprocessor ifdefs every 2-3 lines of code, dynamic includes in the middle of CPP files, etc[1]. It's about as unreadable as C++ code gets--well, I guess it's not template metaprogramming.

Klipper by contrast is a breeze to read through[2].

I am very grateful for Marlin, for all of reprap, and everyone who has contributed to it. But saying there is nothing wrong with it is straight up misguided.

That's the cfg from my photo https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-mks-sgenl.cfg Just confuses me more

If you have (like me) problems getting the auto reconnect solution mentioned on klipper https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/835 running.

Did you check the printer cfg examples folder? Looks like there are a few BTT octopus cfg in there.

Compare your current printer.cfg with the master example here. https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/printer-creality-ender3-2018.cfg

I found scripts to handle this problem, like this here: https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/847

Guys, I hope someone who has it could send me the printer.cfg of the Ender 3 V2 Neo, I found it here on github, but it seems that some things are out and don't work the right way. Thanks!

Use a Pi if you can find one and do the same steps from above or use a pre-built image for the Pi like FluiddPI.

i used fluid 1.6 which can be found here https://github.com/fluidd-core/FluiddPI/releases

I 'm a noobie to RPi so I installed FluiddPi image on an SD card using Rufus -- need to tinker with anything on the RPi directly -- runs fine so far.

All else fails; start over by downloading the FluiddPi Raspberry Pi image zip file from here. FluiddPi v1.17.0

Mainsail looks nicer though... the only reason I went Fluidd over Mainsail is because FluiddPi was an easy route to trying Klipper. It's a Pi image with Klipper, Moonraker, and Fluidd pre-installed

Yes it would be the optimal way to setup Octoprint or finished Raspberry Images like FluiddPi or MainsailOS Octoprint is the „official“ base for Klipper though personally I never had a need for Octoprint Plug-ins and use FluiddPi since a year. Klipper has also its subreddit /r/Klippers

You need to get the latest fluiddPi. use this link https://github.com/cadriel/FluiddPI/releases/download/v1.16.2/fluiddpi-rpi-lite-v1.16.2.zip This will download the zip file that contains the Fluidd and Klipper software. Now follow the document and video to create a MicroSD card for the PI. The Pi is where Klipper/ fluidd runs. It does all of the work converting the Gcode and it then controls the printer board. Once you have the SD card created then you need to edit the fluiddpi-wpa-supplicant.txt file to enter your SSID and network password. This should get the Pi on your network. Re-read the instructions and see if this works.
