## Features

- 💥 This Klipper configuration is an _endpoint_, meaning that it contains **everything** that you could possibly need in order to have an excellent Klipper experience! 💥 CoreXY users can rightly disagree and say that it lacks the quad gantry levelling macros. Please create a pull request if you can help in this regard!
- Filament runout sensor usage implemented.
- Minimum configuration settings for Mainsail/Fluiddpi to work.
- A SuperSlicer config bundle that contains 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)).
- `NEW` <img src="./images/party_blob.gif" width="20" alt='dancing blob'/> A PrusaSlicer config bundle based on Ellis' SuperSlicer Profiles.
- Macros
  - **Improved** mechanical gantry calibration/`G34` macro that provides the user audio feedback, and time to check the calibration.
  - Misc macros: `PRINT_START`, `CANCEL_PRINT`, `PRINT_END`, `PAUSE`, `RESUME`.
  - Parking macros (parks the printhead at various locations): `PARKFRONT`, `PARKFRONTLOW`, `PARKREAR`, `PARKCENTER`, `PARKBED`.
  - Load/unload filament macros.
  - `PURGE_LINE` macro.
  - `NEW` <img src="./images/party_blob.gif" width="20" alt='dancing blob'/> `TEST_SPEED` macro. Find instructions [here](#how-do-i-use-the-test_speed-macro).
- `NEW` <img src="./images/party_blob.gif" width="20" alt='dancing blob'/> Klipper Adaptive Meshing & Purging (KAMP) added (disabled by default)! Read about it [here](#how-do-i-enable-kamp-klipper-adaptive-meshing--purging).

## 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 the documentation 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.

## Before You Begin

- This entire page is a **6 minute read**. Save yourself _hours of troubleshooting_ and read this documentation **fully!**
- It is assumed that you already have a working `printer.cfg` and you already have your printer up and running Klipper.
- The [master](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/tree/master) branch of this repo contains step by step instructions on how to get Klipper going. If you are a beginner, you might find those instructions useful.
- Make sure your printer is in good physical condition, because print and travel speeds will be _a lot faster_ than they were before. Beginner's would be wise to go through the steps mentioned [here](https://github.com/bassamanator/everything-sovol-sv06/blob/main/initialsteps.md). Consider yourself warned.
- 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. 💡 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.
- [Disable](https://github.com/bassamanator/everything-sovol-sv06/blob/main/howto.md#disable-usb-cable-5v-pin) the USB cable's 5V pin.
- 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`.
- Your question has probably been answered already, but if it hasn't, please post in the [Discussion](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/discussions) section.
- 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.

## Installation Steps

### Download OSS Klipper Configuration

1. [Download](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware/archive/refs/heads/any-printer.zip) the `ZIP` file containing the Klipper configuration.
2. The parent folder in the `ZIP` is `Sovol-SV06-firmware-any-printer`. This is relevant in the next step.
3. Extract **only** the _contents_ of the parent folder into `~/printer_data/config`.

💡 **If** you get a warning that you already have a `moonraker.conf` (which you probably do since you're already up and running Klipper), **and** you're not using a low powered device such as a Raspberry Pi Zero, you need to simply paste the following into your **existing** `moonraker.conf`:

```yaml
[file_manager]
enable_object_processing: True
```

### Setup Instructions

Simply add `[include ./osskc.cfg]` somewhere at the top of your `printer.cfg`.

## 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).

If you would like to print a purge line before your print starts, at the end of your start gcode, on a new line add `PURGE_LINE`.

```yaml
# 🗒️ This is just an example
PRINT_START ...
PURGE_LINE
```
