A collection of config macros for VORON 3D-printers

This repository contains different klipper macros created for VORON style 3D-Printers. These macros are supposed to ease the configuration of VORON printers and provide quality of life commands to assist in various scenarios (printer maintenance, nozzle preparation, ...).

Background

While configuring my first VORON 2.4, I noticed that the config templates require a lot of manual tuning of coordinates in the config. Everything happens in one config file and it is pretty confusing at first. Also it requires to repeat some of the coordinates if you go strictly by the documentation inside those config templates.

This collection tries to reduce this effort by automatically calculating X/Y/Z positions based on the configured maximum build volume. It also provides a print_start and print_end macro that allows to hand in temperatures and a profile name. The printer will then automatically load or create a bed mesh with that profile name if it does not exist yet.

Requirements

These macros require klipper. Also they are written for VORON printers. Technically the macros should work on any printer that homes to X/Y max and Z0.

Disclaimer

Use at your own risk

VORONklippper is provided as is. It is actively used and did not cause any issues so far. Despite that I am not responsible for any damage to your printer or your person inflicted while using the configurations or macros included.

Always make sure that the macros work with your machine and that all prerequisites are met to operate your printer safely (construction, firmware, calibration, ...).

Installation

  1. SSH into your PI
  2. Switch to your printer.cfg directory
  3. Clone the repositiory 
    git clone https://github.com/rampage128/voron_klipper.git
  4. Add an include to the top of your printer.cfg 
    [include voron_klipper/main.cfg]
  5. Add VORONklipper configuration (See Usage below)

Updating

If you did not change the macro files, you can safely

  1. SSH into your PI
  2. Switch to your VORONklipper installation directory
  3. Run 
    git pull

Usage

To make use of VORONklipper you need to configure some parameters first. In order to do so you have to add one small gcode macro to your printer.cfg. Please read the configuration document on how to do that and then continue with this page.

VORONklipper provides macros for you to call from octoprint/mainsail or what ever UI you use. Usage of the individual macros can be found in the commands document.

Additionally you can make use of the built in print_start and print_end macros as well as the homing_override. In order to do so please consult the overrides document.
