Klipper Upgrades

Converting your 3D printer to Klipper is the single biggest performance leap you can give your machine without buying an entirely new printer. It completely transforms your printing experience by offloading the heavy math from your printer’s limited mainboard to a powerful external computer like a Raspberry Pi.

(Most printers can be upgraded to Klipper, but not all models!)

Here is exactly why making the switch will revolutionize your workflow:

Blazing Speed Without Quality Loss

• Input Shaper technology: Klipper uses digital resonance compensation to cancel out vibrations. This eliminates ghosting and ringing, allowing you to double or triple your print speeds while maintaining flawless surface finish.
• Pressure Advance calibration: It precisely controls filament oozing and corner bloat during acceleration. Your corners stay sharp and your layers stay perfectly uniform, even at high speeds.

Effortless, Instant Tuning

• No more firmware flashing: Changing a setting in traditional Marlin firmware requires editing code, compiling it, and flashing it via SD card. With Klipper, you edit a simple text file via your web browser, click save, and the printer restarts in three seconds.
• On-the-fly adjustments: You can calibrate your extruder steps, adjust sensor settings, and tweak macro configurations while sitting at your desk.

A Premium, Modern Interface

• Ditch the click-wheel screen: Klipper gives you beautiful, responsive web interfaces like Fluidd or Mainsail. You can completely control your printer, manage files, and view webcam streams from any phone, tablet, or computer.
• Powerful macro customization: You can write custom automation scripts. For example, you can program a single macro button that heats the bed, purges the nozzle, wipes it clean, and starts a print.

Future-Proofing Older Hardware

• Revives cheap or older printers: Because the computer does the hard work, even an old 8-bit printer mainboard can run at blistering fast speeds and execute complex math that would normally crash it.

Conversion Note:

The conversion to Klipper requires additional hardware and replacing the firmware on your printer. Also, Klipper must be customized for each installation and the printer recalibrated. Pricing varies, depending on the host controller (Raspberry Pi) model chosen for your project and the level of other customization requested. Click the Send Inquiry button to learn more!
