Not just that, Mainsail and Fluidd are made for Klipper, much better performance.
I do have my CR10S-Pro running Klipper with MainSail, the original Repeat was also controlled with MainSail, but that will change as soon as I finish converting it to the V4.1
What are you planning for v4.1 ?
I’ve heard this in several places, but it isn’t true. I have ran it on pis for a very long time (way before the 3b+) and I haven’t ever thought it was resource intensive. I run a lot of plugins and the pi still runs great. I didn’t like running it on a pi zero w, but it still worked. And this is on my v1pi image, which also runs cncjs.
I don’t want to start an argument. But I also don’t like to see people complain about octoprint performance. It is a much more mature project with a lot of excellent features (like plugins and an easy install).
I’m planning to try Fluidd… we will see.
Interesting! It is odd but i feel like Octoprint is less responsive than Mainsail. I have not tried octoprintband klipper together though
I was more referring to tye factbthaybyhe CB1 is lower powered than a CM4 or Pi3 or higher.
Hey @probrwr, able to share any pic(s) of your stranded flexible Cat cable based CAN bus setup?
Only saw 2 CAN bus wires (data via the white and blue?) connected in your earlier pic, guessing you’re sourcing power for the 2 split across two pairs elsewhere, or after this pic was taken?

Am using Octopus v1.1 instead of Manta-M8P, so am following info in GitHub - bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-OCTOPUS-V1.0: This is Octopus open source material
Sorry, i am outvof twon for the week. Beer Confernece in Nashville… work, what are ya gonna do.
I used CAT6 patch cord. Make sure itvis a patch cord as that will get you stranded wire. Mine was left over from an old cnc router i built.
I routed the power directly to the power supply.
Sorry, lul in my progress. I had to go to Nashville and pick this up…
Congrats on the win Mike! Billy Boy’s Scotch Ale sounds like fun, as does the World Beer Cup event. Nice!
Couldn’t find Billy Boy’s on https://parkwaybrewing.com website. Look forward to visiting the tasting room, and/or picking up some brews from Parkway Brewing Company if/when visiting Salem, VA 24153.
One of my favorite local brews is “Splinters”, a barrel aged scotch ale by Black Raven, delicious but dangerous at 10.8%…
Cheers!
Billy Boys was a small in house batch we do once a year. Might need to be more often now though!
How awesome is that, there has to be huge competition, congratulations on rising to the top!
It is pretty big. I have been trying to win something at this level for over 20 years. Changed our tactics this year. It worked.
Was it bribery? Just kidding. Congratulations! An amazing achievement.
lol, I wish it was that easy! Random judges and blind tasting. This year was a bumper crop with over 10000 entries across 103 categories.
We have discovered that our beers sell great but don’t compete well. So we are using our smaller system to brew for competition specifically.
The same thing is done at most BBQ competitions. The competitors will crank up the big smoker to cook all the meat that’s required for feeding people, then they’ll run a smaller smoker with just the competition meat in it.
My machine made its first own part today. Mount for the external antenna for the CB1
I also got the TFT35 SPI hooked up and running. Actually super easy. Had to uncomment one line in BoardEnv.txt and it came right up.
Hey @probrwr, able to share Klipper printer.cfg that’s working for your Manta M8P build? Am currently cobbling printer.cfg for my Octopus v1.1 based build, so pins will differ. Getting close, but guessing some of my settings are wrong/missing. Cheers!
@gpagnozzi thanks for sharing your Manta M8P based config earlier, was very helpful.
Happy to! Will putbit together when i get home tonight as long as the boss doesnt have anything else planned. Friday at the latest.
@azab2c Here is the file I have. You will need to change the pin mappings for your octopus I am sure.

When I built my machine I used a 5 pack of motors. It seemed to work okay even though they were a little small. They were Stepperonline Motors and I have not had any issues before. My rationale was that with 3 Z motors I did not need the extra torque and CoreXY shouldn’t need as much either.
Lately I have been having issues with the XY motors skipping and I adjusted the current up. I think this actually caused the motors to fail and I broke down and bought larger motors over the weekend. I installed last night and they a quieter and work perfectly.
More to come
