Thank you for the explanation!
You’re welcome. There is a lot more than that even. When you start digging through, Klipper allows you so much control. You can even have your printer run shell commands (deactivated by default because it so powerful, it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing)
You can control RGB LEDs and more. You can also connect many arduino isntesad of just one
I briefly considered using Klipper to make a clock that prints 1 layer per minute, but gave up after realizing it'd be unreadable after the first hour:
You could use multi material with color change on the hour. You don’t even need to flush the nozzle you could have the color gradually change throughout the layer, or print a handful of perimeters only between each hour.
You could have the first sector to be filled with a hole in the shape of the hour number. Then on the hour change print a couple of top layers covering the hole and print the next layer with the next number as a hole. It’s a really cool idea, as long as you don’t use a heated bed and manage your nozzle heating properly to keep your electric bill manageable. Also you definitely want low print speed and some TMC drivers hehe.
Well if your clock business doesn't take off you could always consider the wagon wheel or bicycle business!
First of all, I need to fond out how to control my tasmota switch to turn on/off my printer and my led...
Are you running Home Assistant? Klipper/Mainsail has an integration for HA that will allow you to control your printer with it. You could use HA to control your Tasmota devices too.
No I'm not, but i'll found a way
Looks like what I'm looking for Try it tonight
Tasmota is natively supported by moonraker
Yes! I get it working this weekend, thanks!
