# 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 fustration, 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.

- Know what you're getting into by reading this documentation *fully!* - Read this documentation *fully!*
- It is assumed that you are connected to your host Raspberry Pi (or other host device) via SSH, and that your printer motherboard is connected to the host via USB. - Follow the steps in order.
- If an error was reported at a step, do no proceed to the next step.
- It is assumed that you are connected to your host Raspberry Pi (or other host device) via SSH, and that your printer motherboard is connected to the host via a data USB cable. Note that most of the micro USB cables that you find at home are *unlikely* to be data cables, and it's not possible to tell just by looking.
- It is also assumed that the username on the host device is `pi`. If that is not the case, you will have to manually edit `moonraker.conf` and `cfgs/misc-macros.cfg` and change any mentions of `/home/pi` to `/home/yourUserName`. - It is also assumed that the username on the host device is `pi`.

- Klipper *must* be installed on the host Raspberry Pi for everything to work. Easiest is to use a [FluiddPi](https://docs.fluidd.xyz/installation/fluiddpi#download) or [MainsailOS](https://github.com/mainsail-crew/mainsail/releases/latest) image. - Klipper *must* be installed on the host Raspberry Pi for everything to work. Easiest is to use a [FluiddPi](https://docs.fluidd.xyz/installation/fluiddpi#download) or [MainsailOS](https://github.com/mainsail-crew/mainsail/releases/latest) image. [KIAUH](https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh) is another excellent option, though it's not as simple as flashing MainsailOS on a microSD card, for example.
- It is assumed that there is one instance of Klipper installed. If you have multiple instances of Klipper installed, via `KIAUH` for example, then this guide is not for you. You can still use all the configs of course, but the steps in this guide will not work for you. - Robert Redford's performance in *Spy Game (2001)* was superb!

- 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. - I would recommend searching for the word `NOTE` in this repository.

If you've made it here, then your printer has been Klipperized, and is ready to print!
But first, adjust your slicer.
## Adjust Your Slicer
You need to adjust the start and end gcode in your slicer. The relevant macros are `PRINT_START` and `PRINT_END`. Find instructions [here](https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/passing_slicer_variables.html#slicer-start-g-code).
