- Minimum configuration settings for Mainsail/Fluiddpi to work.
- SuperSlicer config bundle that contains the printer configuration, as well as what are considered by many to be the best print settings available for any FDM printer ([Ellis' SuperSlicer Profiles](https://github.com/AndrewEllis93/Ellis-SuperSlicer-Profiles)). Find the differences between the different print setting profiles [here](https://github.com/AndrewEllis93/Ellis-SuperSlicer-Profiles/tree/master/SuperSlicer). But basically, the 45 degree profile places the seam at the back.
- Bed model and texture to use in SuperSlicer/PrusaSlicer.

# Preface
## Preface
Although I've made switching over to Klipper as easy as is possible, it can still be a challenge for some, especially considering that most of you have likely never used GNU+Linux. Save yourself the frustration, and fully read all documentation found on this page. Also note that Klipper is not a _must_, and is not for everyone. You can stick with Marlin, and have a fine 3D printing experience.
# Installation Steps

## Before You Begin
### Before You Begin
- Read this documentation _fully!_
- Make sure your printer is in good physical condition, because print and travel speeds will be _a lot faster_ than they were before. Consider yourself warned.

- I would recommend searching for the word `NOTE` in this repository. There are roughly half a dozen short points amongst the various files that you should be aware of if you're using this configuration.
## Flash Firmware
### Flash Firmware
💡 _If you have already flashed klipper onto your motherboard in the past, you can skip this step._
💡 For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to the klipper firmware file as `klipper.bin` even though the actual filename is something along the lines of `klipper-v0.11.0-148-g52f4e20c.bin`.
Please note:
💡 The firmware file is located in the `misc` folder.

- The firmware file is located in the `misc` folder.
- Flashing will only work if current firmware filename is _different from previous flashing procedure_. The `.bin` is also important.
- Many users have reported having issues flashing Klipper using the Sovol microSD card.

⚠️ Many users have reported having issues flashing Klipper using the Sovol microSD card.
- Size: `8GB`. According to Sovol, the largest size that you can use is `16GB`.

- File system: `FAT32`.
- Allocation unit size: `4096 bytes`.
- Must not contain any files _except_ the firmware file.

1. Disconnect any USB cables that might be connected to the motherboard.
2. Copy `klipper.bin` to the microSD card.

1. Check to see if `X` and `Y` max positions (`G90`, `G1 X223 F3000`, `G1 Y223 F3000`) can be reached, and adjust `position_max`, if necessary. You can probably go all the way up to `225` for `X` and `Y` both, however, I would not recommend it.
2. Do a `G34`; mechanical gantry calibration. After the controlled collision against the beam at the top, there will be a 10 second pause for you to verify that both sides of the gantry are pressed up against the `stoppers` at the top. You will hear a succession of beeps.
1. Figure out your `Z` `position_max` by baby stepping your way up to the beam. The range is 250 to 261 from what I've seen, could be even higher for you. Adjust `position_max`, if necessary. I can go all the way to 258, however, I would not print anything higher than 257.
