@ -40,6 +40,14 @@ Klipper has several compelling features:
* Klipper implements the "pressure advance" algorithm for
extruders. When properly tuned, pressure advance reduces extruder
ooze.
* Klipper supports printers with multiple micro-controllers. For
example, one micro-controller could be used to control an
extruder, while another could control the printer's heaters, while
a third controls the rest of the printer. The Klipper host
software implements clock synchronization to account for clock
drift between micro-controllers. No special code is needed to
enable multiple micro-controllers - it just requires a few extra
lines in the config file.
* Klipper also implements a novel "stepper phase endstop" algorithm
that can dramatically improve the accuracy of typical endstop
switches. When properly tuned it can improve a print's first layer
