About Klipper
Klipper is firmware for controlling 3D printers. Its architecture uses a host computer together with the printer microcontroller.
Configuration depends on the exact printer, controller and wiring. Consult the official documentation before modifying firmware.
Getting started with Klipper
- Identify the printer control board and locate an appropriate printer configuration before installing firmware.
- Choose a supported Linux host and a compatible front end, then follow the installation instructions for the specific board.
- Configure printer.cfg for the actual printer and its controller connection. Resolve configuration errors before proceeding.
- Follow the official configuration checks and calibration documentation before attempting a print.
What to consider
Klipper is printer firmware, not a slicer. A separate front end provides controls, and configuration must match the actual printer electronics.
