  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Any of you running Klipper instead of Marlin on your printers?
Sounds like a worthwhile upgrade in terms of printing time and quality.
 
Yes, klipper on a Ender3 with a Raspi 2 doing the serving.
I find that I can print considerably faster. Presently limited by cooling capacity, only 1 4020 fan. Will print a new manifold that mounts 2 4020's, then should be able to print faster again.
The other huge benfit is being able to change parameters without recompiling Marlin.

Moonraker etc are on the Raspi. Great documentation. It does IMO require going through Teaching Tech's process to tune to best effect.

Nice. I started using CHEP's hyperfast printing profile on my ender3 for non critical, functional parts that don't need to be pretty and it cut the time by about 2/3rds for most stuff.
Got me wondering about Klipper. The catch will be finding a Raspberry Pi if I go that route although it sounds like most SBCs will do the trick, more or less.
 
Makerbase also has a board that uses there own version of a pi...or you can use there pi on its own, mk pi, I believe

Plenty of of pi alternatives

Just found out about the Creality Sonic Pad as well. Sounds like it will work on most of the Creality line and is around 200 bucks and runs Klipper.
