Windows updated 8 hours into a print. I’m gonna cry.
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

Successor to JyersM firmware?
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/

Got a Ender 3 S1 Plus (300x300) for cheap. Leveled the bed manually, but realized that all 4 corners are much higher (0.412) than the middle. Is this bed doomed?

Downloaded klipper 2 hrs ago need help
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.

Help me build a Dream Printer... what would you do?
Convert that thing to a corexy via Mercury One, throw a Stealthburner on it, and get yourself a raspberry pi to run Klipper/Mainsail.
- Problem printing holes - leveling issue?

First time Klipper user here, Printing is EXTREMELY slow
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.

Print speed limited
Personally I prefer Mainsail. But Fluidd is also popular.

Upgrading Anycubic mega zero 2.0 with wifi
If you can get ahold of a Raspberry Pi, MainsailOS is a prebuilt sd card image that has everything preinstalled.
- Just checking, but can an Orange Pi (not Raspberry Pi) run OctoPrint?

Sonic Pad vs Klipper on Raspberry pi (what’s is missing from sonic pad?)
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.

First print since installing Klipper
i used fluid 1.6 which can be found here https://github.com/fluidd-core/FluiddPI/releases
- New Ender 3 S1 Pro my initial thoughts after a couple of days with it.
- Need compiled firmware for my 300c slice eng thermistor+ extender 400XL printer.. can’t compile on my pc.

Real improvements going to Klipper?
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.
-
I'm not sure what to do next. I have an error saying no moonraker connection
All else fails; start over by downloading the FluiddPi Raspberry Pi image zip file from here. FluiddPi v1.17.0

Itttsss aliiive!!! Again. Description in comment
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
- Is a Rasberry Pi 4 (B) 2gb good enough to install and run kilpper on my Ender 5 Plus?

Rate my benchy (100mm/s speed, 2000mm/s^2 accel, 0.2mm layer height, Ender 3 v1)
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

Octoprint using klipper for dummies
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.
