Can you give a little more info about this? I don't know what it is. I have to Ender 3s at work and would love some kind of dashboard.
3DPrinting
3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.
The r/functionalprint community is now located at: !functionalprint@kbin.social or !functionalprint@fedia.io
There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

You should try to install octoprint on a raspberry pi. It's the easiest way to get a web gui if you don't want to mess with the firmware or mainboard
Klipper is sooo much better than Octoprint. It replaced the whole software not just the web interface part. Klipper is absolutely amazing. Now for work, it’s an open source software with community support. So done corporate don’t like not having a company to blame if something goes wrong.
Klipper isn't a web interface. Octoprint works with Klipper as a web interface. They're different software for different things.
Yeah, get mainsailOS with klipper
Octoprint has tons of great plugins and features that mainsail/fluidd have no equivalent for, and can be used to control klipper printers too.
klipper is the firmware flashed to the printer
gui is achieved and accessed through mainsail or octoprint. I haven't tried octoprint.
mainsail runs on a raspberry pi and can manage multiple klipper printers with one device. you can also add klipperscreen, it's an addon that can be used with a touchscreen for an interface at the printer (or anywhere really)...
but I just access mine running mainsail through my phone browser or the laptop I use to model and slice. I like orcaslicer because it integrates mainsail right into a tab in the slicer and provides a seamless user experience.
To your printer.cfg I’d add:
[exclude_object]
Allows you to cancel individual items. If you have multiple items printing and one fails in one way or another you can cancel just that object and continue the rest of the print. Literally the only thing is add the bracketed thing to the cfg and it’ll add a icon next to the pause button that gives you the options.
Meh on the next part. I see that version doesn’t have bed level knobs. I’ll leave it if there is someone else who doesn’t know about it.
I’ve also found that one of the bed screw leveling options is very helpful for getting the bed close enough for the bltouch to really be dialed in. I use
[bed_screws] Screw1: 32.5, 202.5 Screw2: 32.5, 32.5 Screw3: 202.5, 32.5 Screw4: 202.5, 202.5
Then in the console run: bed_screws_adjust
Just moves the nozzle to each of the four corners right above the leveling knobs. Makes it pretty simple. I will add that the coordinates I use are fore a ender3pro but should be the same ish for you. But don’t quote me on that.
So I add that as an include from another config. It's saved me from a few complete failures 😁. For this I was trying to keep it as a basic config for others to use as a good base and I would like to submit a PR, eventually, to include it in klipper's example configs.
even better, add [screws_tilt_adjust] to take advantage of the crtouch and a little fancy computer math to make leveling super easy.
after configuring the screw locations and thread pitch, execute the command screws_tilt_calculate

ender beds use M4 screws
I'm going to look into adding this in, thanks for the tip!
Is that about 20 degrees of swing on the hotend? Might need to recalibrate that loop!
I'm like 100% sure that's a PID tune.
Oh, of course. That explains the coefficient output in the terminal. Thanks.
