If you want a printer to print and don't wish to spend hours tinkering and tweaking, then Marlin is def the way to go at the moment. If you're happy to do that, you'll be rewarded with great performance. That means much more tinkering and tweaking to get things to work. Overall, I'd say Klipper is currently better IMHO, but it's much less mature as a product. Sure you can build custom menus, but it's not out of the box like a lot of Marlin. You pretty much do everything via Octoprint. You lose a lot of the cool functionality you have through the Ender's screen. the configurations are so customizable, it would take a book to cover everything. I think it's a relatively small group doing this compared to, say, Marlin and I applaud their effort. The documentation is good, but not fantastic. The commands or directives used seem to change, thus making you hunt down why your config file (copied and pasted) from a working example no longer work. There are some good resources out there, but: The support for Klipper is much more sparse than for Marlin in general. If you're happy with what you have, there's no need to change. I think it depends on how much you like to tinker, how technically inclined you are, and whether you have a Pi already. I'm fully confident that tuning the pressure advance will make it even better. Watching a 1cm diameter gear accurately print at 100mm/s is awesome if your used to 50mm/s. That's not to say I won't try out Marlin if they redo their kinematics, but the lookahead calculations that Klipper does are voodoo. I plan to keep Klipper after my E3 Mini is installed. I doubt the performance difference is as significant with the new 32 bit boards from Creality and BTT, but the other functionality is still a huge plus in my book. The performance difference was like night and day - going from an 8bit processor to a 32bit, multi-core. I already had the Pi running Octoprint (you should do this if you haven't already), so putting Klipper on was relatively trivial. The pressure advance is pretty incredible too.Įveryone is trying to compare feature by feature, but they are different firmware with different implementations. The kinematics appear to be FAR better than Marlin at the moment and not having to recompile and flash for changes is amazing. As soon as it's back this weekend, I plan to continue tuning the ABL mesh and the pressure advance.Īs others mentioned here, I think the biggest advantages to Klipper are the kinematics and the config files for tuning. Right now I'm down due to a bad wheel on the bed. I still have some tweaking to do, but I am astonished at how well it printed at those speeds. At 50mm/s (and a couple other usual settings) it was closer to 9! The print was outstanding. I did one of those geared cubes on my Ender at 100mm/s and. I recently installed Klipper on my Ender 3 (currently the stock 8bit board). Old thread, I know, but I just purchased an SKR Mini E3 V2 today.
