Teaching Tech | Klipper interfaces: Step by step guide to 3.5 options @TeachingTech | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
My Klipper series continues with a video exploring three and a half options for adding an interface to the 3D printer. In this step by step guide, we cover headless, reusing a mobile phone or tablet, an LCD with click knob and a touch TFT with KlipperScreen.
Each has strengths and weaknesses, so hopefully with this information you can make a decision which best suits your hardware and skillset. If you have another option I haven’t covered here, please post it in the comments.
