Retired electronics engineer, software engineer, Internet and IT. I like all things technical and pistachio ice cream
Just for fun I installed the klipper software on my @adafruit.com Macropad RP2040 and connected it to the raspberry pi running klipper on my 3D printer. A bit of tinkering with the config file and it works!! Display, encoder, neopixels, buttons.

Just finished upgrading my 3D printer with a magnetic heated bed. I decided to use a @prusa3d.com MK52 from Prusa as the size was just right. Now I need some good build plates, I tried a cheap one from Amazon but the surface bubbled up so I have some genuine Prusa ones on order from a UK supplier.

He's 9 and I let him build it when he came to stay in June. He's a huge fan of Lego and Star Wars.

Yeah! Finally arrived after my little blunder with the delivery address... I must say I do like the @pimoroni.com packaging.

Before and after 3D printer upgrade...
Orig. Due+RADDS+Marlin.
Now Octopus Pro v1.1 (H723) + Klipper.
Changed 12v psu to 24v.
Replaced old brittle PLA parts and added cable trunking.
Tuned and calibrated it's working really well.
I have RPi 4 + 7in touchscreen Repetier Server as front end.
