Purpose

I would like to unleash the power of my Ender 5 Plus(here after referenced as E5+) by removing the "bottleneck" that the weak mainboard processing power have. Klipper supposedly should do just this by moving all data processing from the E5+ mainboard on to the Raspberry Pi 4 i got connected already anyway.

First try/step will be a combo of Klipper and OctoPrint.

Later i might try the Klipper + Moonraker + MainSail combo.

Reference pages

  • Klipper is a 3d-Printer firmware. It combines the power of a general purpose computer with one or more micro-controllers.
  • OctoPrint provides a snappy web interface for controlling consumer 3D printers.
  • Moonraker is a Python 3 based web server that exposes APIs with which client applications may use to interact with Klipper.
  • Mainsail lightweight & responsive web interface for the Klipper 3D printer firmware.

Klipper + OctoPrint combo

An installation guide is avilable on the Klipper website. I will follow that now.

make menuconfig will ask for microcontroller - the E5+ uses atmega2560. See printer-creality-ender5plus-2019.cfg
