Klipper Printer Additions - More Than Boring Start-G-Code
 

Quick Overview

• The Power of Klipper, and much more, baked into simple to use buttons.
   
• The KPA automate the whole pre-print procedure. Like a conductor, they give the right instructions at the right time, so that your print starts faster, without ouzing, and with better first layers.
   
• Adaptive Mesh Mode + Adaptive Purging/Priming.
  Save time by only probing the area where the model is printed.
  
  
• Multiple Mesh Mode + Adaptive Purging/Priming.
  Even speeds of light faster than Adaptive Mesh Mode. Bed Meshes are automatically created by bed temperature, saved, and re-used. In fine temperature steps of no more than +-5°C.
  
  
  Ridiculous 2025 probe points, but just for testing some things out. 😉
   
• Adaptive Mesh Probe Point Count, 
  Independent of your printer's bed size, the probe density is the same (and adjustable). This applies to Multiple- and Adaptive Mesh Mode.
   
• Faster Print Start, by heating smart, and without ouzing - you can print even without a skirt.
• Prime lines which clean better than regular prime lines, have anti-ouzing, and are very easy to remove.
   
• Prime Spiral which cleans in 360°, and indicates if your z-level is fine.
   
• Calibration Tools at your fingertips, no printer display required. For example, a fully automated and guided measurement of Rotation Distance Calibration! 😃
  
   
   
• Print Slow In Height, can seamless reduce the printing speed on tall models. Very handy on bed slinger printers. Automated, or fully configurable, also during the print.
   
   
• Print Pause In Heights, pauses the print at desired points. Fully configurable, also during the print.
  
  

Usability

• The KPA are easy to use, by simple buttons, which show you state and infos. Everything is directly accessible in Mainsail / fluidd.
   
• Easy to set up, by copy & paste. Minimal "invasion" of your printer.cfg (only one text line).
   
• Easy to update, by just uploading new files to the printer via Mainsail / fluidd.
   
• Easy Slicer Guides, without a single step missing, on how to set up your slicer app: OrcaSlicer / PrusaSlicer / Cura / IdeaMaker / Others.
   
• Guide, how to fix first layer problems on the hardware-side, and test-print-files.
   
• Guide, why and how to level a printer which calibrates the gantry with Z-Tilt.

Printer Modules

In addition there are extra Printer Modules, to plug-in additional functionality and bug fixes for specific printers. Currently:

• Sovol SV06/Plus Features Module
  • More reliable probing for homing and bed meshes.
  • Custom Gantry-Level method, that does not drive brutal into the gantry.
  • No error "Move exceeds maximum extrusion".
  • Improves PAUSE, RESUME and CANCEL_PRINT.
  • Handles Filament Change commands from the Slicer (M600).
  • Display stuck in startup-animation: Sometimes the displays of KlipperScreen / SV07 go into an endless startup-animation-loop, while the printer is still normally working via Mainsail. A missing preference of KlipperScreen causes this. This preference item is now created by the Klipper Printer Additions, so the display can exit the loop.
  • Adds a 15-minutes-inactivity safety timeout, and it respects filament changes.
  • Corrections for printer.cfgs with wrong values.
     
• Sovol SV07/Plus Features Module
  • Cures most of the SV07's z-level / First Layer Problems.
  • More reliable probing, for homing, z-tilt and bed mesh.
  • Protects you from executing Z-Tilt manually, if printing with Z-Tilt is disabled, to safe you from bad first layers.
  • No error "Move exceeds maximum extrusion".
  • Displays the temperatures of the MCU and the MKS Pi. In Mainsail, fluidd, and the Printer's Display.
  • Display stuck in startup-animation: Sometimes the displays of KlipperScreen / SV07 go into an endless startup-animation-loop, while the printer is still normally working via Mainsail. A missing preference of KlipperScreen causes this. This preference item is now created by the Klipper Printer Additions, so the display can exit the loop.
  • Replaces Sovol's PAUSE,  RESUME and CANCEL_PRINT Macros.
  • Handles Filament Change commands from the Slicer (M600).
  • Handles the print head's LED on print-start / print-end / print-cancel. Fully customizable to whatever behavior you prefer.
  • Adds a 15-minutes-inactivity safety timeout, and it respects filament changes.
     
• Sovol SV07/Plus Part Fans
  • Auxiliary Part Fan mode control: Dynamic, Permanent, Off (the modes are in detail explained when you click their buttons).
  • You can also set a Speed Limit, and a Cool-Down-Timer.
  • Nozzle Part Fan mode control: Dynamic, Permanent, Off.
    
     
• Sovol SV07/Plus MCU Fan
  • Great noise reduction.
    Options: Full Speed (like factory) or temperature-controlled with variable speed.
     
• Sovol SV07/Plus Hotend Fan
  • Great noise reduction.
    Options: Full Speed (like factory) or temperature-controlled with variable speed.
