|

* Klipper supports "Smooth Pressure Advance" - a mechanism to account
|
||||
for the effects of pressure within an extruder. This reduces
|
||||
extruder "ooze" and improves the quality of print corners. Klipper's
|
||||
implementation does not introduce instantaneous extruder speed
|
||||
changes, which improves overall stability and robustness.
|
||||
|
||||
* Klipper supports "Input Shaping" to reduce the impact of vibrations
|
||||
on print quality. This can reduce or eliminate "ringing" (also known
|
||||
as "ghosting", "echoing", or "rippling") in prints. It may also
|
||||
allow one to obtain faster printing speeds while still maintaining
|
||||
high print quality.
|
||||
|
||||
* Klipper uses an "iterative solver" to calculate precise step times
|
||||
from simple kinematic equations. This makes porting Klipper to new
|
||||
types of robots easier and it keeps timing precise even with complex
|

kinematics (no "line segmentation" is needed).

|

* Portable code. Klipper works on ARM, AVR, and PRU based

micro-controllers. Existing "reprap" style printers can run Klipper

the printer config file (no code changes are necessary). Those
|

commands are programmable - allowing them to produce different

actions depending on the state of the printer.
|

|

* Builtin API server. In addition to the standard G-Code interface,

Klipper supports a rich JSON based application interface. This

enables programmers to build external applications with detailed

control of the printer.

Additional features
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper supports many standard 3d printer features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Klipper implements the "pressure advance" algorithm for extruders.
|
||||
When properly tuned, pressure advance reduces extruder ooze.
|
||||
|
||||
* Works with Octoprint. This allows the printer to be controlled using
|
||||
a regular web-browser. The same Raspberry Pi that runs Klipper can
|
||||
also run Octoprint.

* Support for multiple extruders. Extruders with shared heaters and

extruders on independent carriages (IDEX) are also supported.

* Support for cartesian, delta, and corexy style printers.
|

* Support for cartesian, delta, corexy, corexz, rotary delta, polar,

|

|

* Automatic bed leveling support. Klipper can be configured for basic
|
||||
bed tilt detection or full mesh bed leveling. If the bed uses
|

multiple Z steppers then Klipper can also level by independently
|

manipulating the Z steppers. Most Z height probes are supported,

including servo activated probes.
