Explanation of the cfg files

As you see we have splitted the printer.cfg into multiple files as this makes it easier to create your own configuration at the end as you only would need to select the right files for your setup.

This is done with the [include xxxx] function of Klipper and thus you dont need to copy paste whole config blocks but just upload the file and add the file [include] to your own printer.cfg.

The printer.cfg goes in the main directory that you see within Fluidd / Mainsail. The other files have to go into cfg directory (you can create directories in Fluidd / Mainsail.

In the printer.cfg we have here you see for example 2 extruder setups: - orbiter_extruder.cfg - stock_extruder.cfg And in the printer cfg you see the following:

  • # [include cfg/sheetmanager.cfg]
  • # [include cfg/resonance_tester.cfg]
  • # [include cfg/orbiter_extruder.cfg]
  • # #[include cfg/stock_extruder.cfg]
  • # [include cfg/macros.cfg]
  • # [include cfg/pi_mcu.cfg]

So right now the config is based on an Orbiter Extruder but if you want to have the stock extruder the just put a # in front of the orbiter_extruder.cfg and remove the # from stock_extruder.cfg.

The most of you might not have an ADXL setup for testing resonances within Klipper in that case put a # in front of pi_mcu.cfg as otherwise klipper wont start.
