I covered the Klipper installation process on the Creality Ender 6 and Kingroon KP3S, but the process should be comparable on other printers.
3D PRINTER SLICER SETTINGS FOR TOP LAYERS INSTALL
If you choose to install Octoprint, you will also get access to a huge library of plugins which add distinctive features to your 3D printer. With Klipper you also get Wi-Fi connectivity which allows you to remotely control your 3D printer and send the g-code files over the air. If you don’t need fancy functionality, you can run Klipper even from a Pi Zero. The most popular solution is installing Klipper on a Raspberry Pi, which started to become a common piece of hardware.
Installing and using Klipper firmware is free, but you need a computer to run this. If you are using an older 8-bit 3D printer board, by installing Klipper all the processing load will be moved to a Raspberry Pi and your board will only have to do the moves without it being slowed down anymore because of slow G-core interpretation. Print quality is a bit better when both internal and external layer print speeds are close because the flow rate will be more even. A good idea is to use a lower speed for the external wall (something between 30mm/s and 50mm/s) but try to keep the speed differences as low as possible. On regular 3D printers, I don’t usually go much higher than ~50-60mm/ second for the internal and external wall. Adjust print speed valuesīesides layer height, the next important setting I adjust in IdeaMaker to improve print speed is the actual speed values used for various sections. Finally, for draft prints, where I don’t really care about print quality and layer lines are not a problem, I go with a 0.25mm layer height and even 0.3 mm in some cases. I don’t usually go lower than this because I don’t think the print quality improvements are worth the extra print time.
This value lowers the layer height and provides improved print quality, but the print time can increase significantly. For detailed prints, I mostly use 0.15 mm.
