Yes, as an alternative to klipper -this really is your end goal - use the firmware by mriscoc, it is really nice and robust.
Gives you more options and the results are better than the stock fw.

Thanks! Will search for it.
- Comment on Laptop is depolymerizing -- how can I remedy this? 4 weeks ago:
Let me know when you find something that actually works.
Just happened to use gasoline on a sticky Dell XPS. Didn’t help. Baking soda does reduce the sticky feeling, but leaves a weird coating.
Alcohol didn’t work for me, perhaps I’ll just need to wrap the laptop with some sticker

Thanks for this. Finamp looks really nice.
- Comment on Retraction Test 4 months ago:
That is not how it is supposed to look, the end result should be at least a couple of inches wide.
- Comment on Retraction Test 4 months ago:
Maybe you don’t need to ‘fix’ your retraction settings?
If it looks good enough, why bother?
- Comment on Retraction Test 4 months ago:
Wasn’t aware of the test (SuperSlicer user here), and found this.
The tower has multiple notches, each one corresponding to a different retraction length. By looking at the tower after printing, you can see how each retraction length affects the print quality.
So check your surface finish and select the retraction value with the best looks.
- Comment on Used NetApp 6TB SAS for 38€??? 7 months ago:
NetApp makes storage devices, just like Dell’s DataDomain.
Looks like the add is referring to a ST6000NM0034, a drive from Seagate. Personally, I like to stay away from that brand as far as possible.
Have had good experiences with WD.
- Comment on Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why? 8 months ago:
Easydns.ca, no privacy issues. Nothing about me personally in the who’s db (.net tld)
- Comment on What can I use to readd rounded part on print? 8 months ago:
Depending on the size, but I’ve had success with super glue and baking soda.

Alright, MDP just aborts and complaints about the terminal size.
Will take a look at this, thanks for your work!

How does this handle files with long lines (width) and/or long paragraphs (height)?
Reason for asking: MDP was always complaining about files or terminal size. A properly working alternative would be great.

- Comment on I love my Gitea. Any tips and tricks? 9 months ago:
Absolutely!
Running local, self hosted forgejo with a few runners.
Now my code is neatly checked with pre-commit and linters, build when new tags are pushed, renovate is scheduled every 24 hours to check for new releases of stuff etc.
Just a few containers and a happy user :-)
- Comment on Alternative github frontends? 10 months ago:
In run a personal instance of forgejo, love it.
Everything I want regarding version control and workers. And more lightweight on the frontend side.

I compliment you for your knowledge 😊
- Comment on Tips for a new Ender owner? 10 months ago:
Maybe -before making the jump to klipper-, use the ProfessionalFirmware, as Myers was no longer active the last time I checked.
That firmware is a nice improvement over the original, but running Klipper will really improve speed and quality.
- Comment on Tips for a new Ender owner? 10 months ago:
Sorry for the reddit link, but this is a really cheap hack, to get a better frame.
Print some parts, add nuts and bolts and use a proper method to adjust the frame.
Other modifications:
- direct drive
- enclosure
- replace the main board or at least adjust the vRefs, check the main board version.
- use Klipper to let it calculate the compensation for linear advance
- print something like a brissfang (also compatible with a microswiss direct drive) to get better part-cooling.
- camera
- replace the bed springs with silicone

Thank you for this. Now I have a clue, why I sometimes have these odd red patches on my hand.
Will us gloves from now on.
- Comment on Which slicer do you use 11 months ago:
SuperSlicer, nightly builds from GitHub.
- Comment on Absolute beginner with questions 11 months ago:
I use OpenSCAD to have a declarative method to ‘design’ boxes for my electronic projects. So boxes and lids with hinges and stuff.
When I need something with accurate measurements but a more complex design, FreeCad is the go-to tool. Sprockets, PS5 controller loading-station, bolts and nuts.
Blender probably can be used too, but I have never used it.
- Comment on Absolute beginner with questions 11 months ago:
If the printer runs a Marlin variation as firmware (Ender probably does), you can run octoprint on a Raspberry pi or more powerful stuff. Running in docker should be doable, you just need to route the serial-usb connection into the container running ocotoprint. Klipper user with Mainsail on a RPI4 here, no experience with a dockerized octoprint.
The most slicers have some calibration prints to tune flow/temperature etc. Do them before starting that 9 hour print job…
- Comment on Absolute beginner with questions 11 months ago:
Designing stuff: FreeCad and OpenSCAD. Lots of YouTube material for educational purposes.
Regarding the printer, this depends on the make/model/manufacturer, but the more serious people (not starting a flame war here, just my observation) tend to use Klipper. Most printers run some form of Marlin, but most can run Klipper as an alternative firmware.
And there are the slicers… A huge amount of choice here, but one way or the other, most are forks/spinoffs of previous work. Personal choice here is SuperSlicer, mostly due to its interface and me being too lazy to use OrcaSlicer of one of the other options.
But beware: tuning, measuring adjusting will take a lot of time. And the entire 3d printing community likes is.
- Comment on Fusion360 free Startup option is going away! 1 year ago:
And that probably won’t be the end.
Very happy (and after 2 years usage still extremely unskilled) with FreeCad.
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 1 year ago:
No HACS support out of the box. (HA as docker)
The only use for RPI is kodi and Mainsail for the printer. All of them boot from NFS, so no storage issues. Everything else is x86-64 or docker containers on those Intel/amd machines.
- Comment on Learned something new about Klippy today on my CR-10 1 year ago:
Oh boy this sucks… I’m running a ender 3v2 with a pi4 and created a custom USB cable without the 5V connected, just to be on the save side.
Creality should really do a better job…

This is nice! When in need, this can be a life saver. Thank you!
