#klipper

4 posts4 participants0 posts today

I am sadly moving one of my machines from #Fedora to #Debian.

I prefer Fedora in many ways but this machine runs several instances of #Klipper in containers.

The containers themselves are based on Debian and... wow... there is so much pain when it comes to dealing with USB in containers and it compounds when the distro host and the base images approach things differently.

A mess of systemd units and fragile fixes in the container and host just aren't worth it.

Pros:

* Cheap enclosure kit
* Cheap in general
* CoreXY (I mean, the A1 is fine for the most part, but there are definitely prints where a fixed bed would be better)
* Slightly odd 220x220 bed.

Cons:

* Getting the impression it’s #Klipper -ish but not quite?
* The company has been around for a long time, but I do wonder how long they will sell replacement parts. Proprietary hotend/nozzle, naturally.
* No resale value
* They’ve forked Orcaslicer, because of course they have.

I doubt I am alone in debating building a lobotomy kit (or stripping it for a custom build) so that BTT announcement brings me ridiculous joy. I ran a bunch of their boards in my old Ender and they've been awesome.

If you were considering a lobotomy and want to go more hands-on than BTT, check out
this project. They are building a Klipper swap-in for the P1 series. It is brand new and nowhere near feature complete, but proceeding super fast. (Technically, you could print with it today even with an AMS but it is a very young project. Don't hassle them about missing features.)
