This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Klipper requires that the printer is running Klipper firmware.

OctoPrint can work with printers running Klipper or Marlin.

Main advantage of Klipper is that it moves all the gcode and movement processing off of the microcontroller on your printers main board. Also, Klipper let's you update firmware settings through a config file without actually having to reflash the printers firmware.

OctoPrint works great as an easy add-on for a printer running the stock Marlin firmware. Main thing people want is wifi print uploads and camera monitoring anyway.
