Klipper Firmware – Why Switch

Klipper Firmware – Why Switch image

Klipper provides significantly higher speed and precision than standard Marlin.

Klipper is firmware that moves calculations from printer MCU to Raspberry Pi or PC.

🚀 Klipper advantages: • Input shaping (resonance) – printing without vibration artifacts • Pressure Advance – precise extrusion at high speeds • Python macros – automate anything • Faster printing: 300–500 mm/s with excellent quality • Web interface (Mainsail, Fluidd) – control via browser

🛠 What you need: • Raspberry Pi 3/4 or other SBC • Compatible printer (Ender, Prusa, Voron, Bambu internally) • KIAUH installer – easy installation

⚙️ Recommended add-ons: • Mainsail or Fluidd (web interface) • Moonraker (API for remote control) • Crowsnest (camera) • KlipperScreen (touchscreen display)

⚠️ More complex to set up than Marlin, but results are worth it.
