Basics
- An advanced FDM 3D Printer Firmware
- "Klipper is a 3d-Printer firmware. It combines the power of a general purpose computer with one or more micro-controllers." (The Project's Website)
Notable Features
- Input Shaping (Reduces Ringing (3D Printing Artifact) )
- Pressure Advance Tuning
- Capable of handling more complex Kinematics such as Delta Printers , CoreXY Printers etc
- High precision stepper movement
- High Steps Per Second
- Support for multiple micro-controllers, such as in Toolheads with integrated control boards
- Support for High Temperature Thermal Sensors
- Support for Filament Diameter Sensors , not just Filament Runout Sensors ( Filament Presence Sensors and/or Filament Motion Sensors )
- Advanced Cooling Fan Control
- Turned off when idle
- Supports Tachometer Readouts
- Internet Connection ( LAN and/or WWW Based Print Farm controls, Spaghetti Detective based print error detection + Part Cancellation / Area Exclusion in Multi-Part Batch 3D Printing , Video Capture, Settings Adjustments etc)
- Mesh Bed Leveling (More Accurately Mesh Bed Level Measuring / Mesh Bed Level Compensation ? )
- Advanced Bed Leveling
Hardware
- 1.) A Single Board Computer (or in theory at least a used low-spec computer acquired for cheap?)
- Typically:
- A Raspberry Pi Zero if not utilizing 3D Printer Webcam functionalities
- A Raspberry Pi (need to grab what model is recommended, 2/3/4 etc) if utilizing the camera and/or other more intensive features
- Typically:
- 2.) A Standard Control Board (This no longer does the calculations of G Code to various electronics as this is offloaded to the Raspberry Pi)
- (Optional) 3.) A Klipperscreen ( Raspberry Pi Touchscreen + (Most Likely 3D Printed) Enclosure + Wiring )
