- You'd need a host to run additional software like OctoPrint or Mainsail for being able to use the printer with Klipper. See the belonging section further down below for some information and my personal recommendation abput what to use.

If you don't have a host running OctoPrint/Mainsail/.. yet, see the chapter ["Printserver"](../printserver.md) for some information about hardware you could use for that.

Long story short: Klipper is an 'alternative' firmware which gives you way more possibilities and even functions for configuring and using your 3D printer. If you don't know what Klipper is, this may be a good start for your research: [All3DP: Klipper](https://www.all3dp.com/topic/klipper)

## What Is Klipper?
24+
Klipper is a 3d printer firmware and, in this case, *replaces* the stock firmware of your stock mainboard.

I opened a [discussion thread about Klipper](https://github.com/1coderookie/KobraGoNeoInsights/discussions/6) just in case any further questions arise or in case you want to comment on certain things without doing so by sending me an email. Keep in mind though that I'm not an expert at all, so if you do have specific questions about Klipper, please refer to the [official documentation of Klipper](https://www.klipper3d.org/Overview.html), the [Klipper discourse group](https://klipper.discourse.group/) and/or ask in a special forum like e.g. the [Klipper subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/klippers/).

Basically you need to clone the Klipper repository and compile the necessary `klipper.bin` file (aka `firmware.bin`) which you flash onto the mainboard then. Please watch out for some dedicated tutorials about this procedure, as I don't offer a step by step guide here (yet) about it.

If you're installing Klipper and frontends on [different hardware like a Raspberry Pi](../printserver.md#how-to-install) and therefore don't use e.g. the MainsailOS image for the RPi, you can use [KIAUH](https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh), which is an installation script for Klipper, KlipperScreen, frontends like Mainsail and so on.

- You can set the area where the probing should occur in general.

- You can even use certain macros which allow you to only probe the area you're going to print at before each print you're attempting.

- You can create different bedmeshes for e.g. different bed temperatures which you can then load when printing different types of filament (like one bedmesh done at 60°C bedtemp for PLA and one done at 80°C bedtemp for PETG and so on).

- You can do a bedmesh at any time without the need of setting the z-offset again (of yourse only in case you didn't change anything that had an impact on the z-offset, like tramming the bed or so).

Of course Klipper supports both ABL and manual bed leveling as well. Please see the official Klipper documentation for more detailed information about this topic, I'll only mention some notes about it here in the following. So before you continue to read here, maybe check out the official Klipper documentation first and read the chapters ["Bed Level Support"](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#bed-level-support) and ["Bed Level"](https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Level.html).
