Software Mods

Install Klipper on Raspi

git clone https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper
./klipper/scripts/install-octopi.sh
  • Octoprint Webinterface:
> Serial Connection > General > /tmp/printer
> Serial Connection > Behaviour > Error > Cancel (DO NOT DISCONNECT)
> Serial Connection > Behaviour > Cancelling > Uncheck Attempt > Behaviour > Cancelling > Uncheck Attempt

Build Klipper Firmware

git clone https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh.git
cd kiauh
./kiauh.sh

-> 4) Advanced
-> 3) Build only
