Klipper vs Marlin (self.3dprinting)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by nosnahc to c/3dprinting
 

I actually have Marlin + Octoprint but found out recently that Klipper exist. I read everywhere that Klipper is better but I don't really get why. I understand that Klipper use raspberry as powerfull calculator instead of the STM32 of the printer, but octoprint is used to send Gcode to Marlin too... So what's the really difference please?

Edit : I don't understand how Klipper or Marlin can give better results when gcode and instructions are generated by Cura

Especially since many in the 3D printing community have miscalibrated eyeballs.
