klipper VS mainsail

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!

Klipper is awesome and once it’s installed and up and running I can control my printer via my LAN network and upload STL’s and control the printer using the Mainsail Web interface. https://docs.mainsail.xyz

I prefer Klipper. It requires another computer (such as a raspberry pi) but it is so much easier to modify and make changes. It also has built in leveling functions and other great benefits. https://docs.mainsail.xyz/ https://www.klipper3d.org/

It's https://docs.mainsail.xyz/

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.

Convert that thing to a corexy via Mercury One, throw a Stealthburner on it, and get yourself a raspberry pi to run Klipper/Mainsail.

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.

Personally I prefer Mainsail. But Fluidd is also popular.

If you can get ahold of a Raspberry Pi, MainsailOS is a prebuilt sd card image that has everything preinstalled.
