  • SOLUTION: runs contrary to common knowledge, but what ultimately helped was:

    • INCREASING print speed. The usual recommendation is the slower the better, but at that point, there’s no pressure control over the filament
    • ENABLING retraction. Again, usual rec is to disable it for flexibles but turns out it alleviates too much backpressure which leads to filament buckling in the extruder

    Also printing hotter than mfg recommends: I printed at 260 (10C over recommended maximum).

    Thanks to u/Over_Pizza_2578 for pointing me to the right - opposite to everything else - direction.






  • For me the responsivity of Klipper UI was reason enough. Octoprint is unbelievably slow on the same hardware. The other thing was ease of configuration - no firmware compilation and flashing necessary. And the third is the actual printing performance - Octoprint has a really bad implementation of the actual print data transfer, and the serial interface routinely chokes on fine data such as arcs. That never happens with Klipper, even at much, much higher print speeds.

    I have, but I’ve reached the point where I can just send stuff to it and it materalizes, without lots of tweaking and tuning, and I intend to keep it that way for a while :) as you probably know, upgrading these printers usually means fucking everything up and gradually rebuilding
