Configuration
In the KlipperScreen folder, a file KlipperScreen.config allows for configuration of the screen. The configuration file is a json formatted file. There are three main options to configure.
{
"preheat_options",
"mainmenu",
"printmenu"
}
Preheat Options
Under preheat options, you may specify pre-defined temperatures for easy warmup. Each material should be formatted as follows:
"Material": {
"tool": 195,
"bed": 40
}
Tool is the extruder temperature, bed is the heated bed temperature. An example configuration for PLA and abs would be like this:
"preheat_options": {
"PLA": {
"tool": 195,
"bed": 40
},
"ABS":{
"tool": 220,
"bed": 90
}
}
Main menu
This allows a custom configuration for the menu displayed while the printer is idle. You can use sub-menus to group different items and there are several panel options available. It is possible to have a gcode script run on a menu button press.
Available panels:
- bed_level: Manual bed level
- extrude: Controls for extrusion
- fan: Controls fan speed
- finetune: Controls for fine-tuning print settings such as z-babystepping or extrustion rate
- menu: Allows for a sub-menu
- move: Controls the print head
- network: Network information panel
- preheat: Preheat bed/tools
- system: System information panel
- temperature: Controls temperature settings
- zcalibrate: Calibrating a probe
A menu item is configured as follows:
{
"name": "Name displayed",
"icon": "file name from icons folder",
"panel": "panel from above options",
# Optional parameters
"items": [] # Items for a submenu
"method": "printer.gcode.script" # Moonraker method for a request
"params": {} # Parameters for the moonraker method
}
A sample configuration of a main menu would be as follows:
"mainmenu": [
{
"name": "Homing",
"icon": "home",
"panel": "menu",
"items": [
{
"name": "Home All",
"icon": "home",
"method": "printer.gcode.script",
"params": {"script": "G28"}
},
{
"name": "Home X",
"icon": "home-x",
"method": "printer.gcode.script",
"params": {"script": "G28 X"}
},
{
"name": "Home Y",
"icon": "home-y",
"method": "printer.gcode.script",
"params": {"script": "G28 Y"}
},
{
"name": "Home Z",
"icon": "home-z",
"method": "printer.gcode.script",
"params": {"script": "G28 Z"}
}
]
},
{
"name": "Preheat",
"icon": "heat-up",
"panel": "preheat"
},
{
"name": "Actions" ,
"icon": "actions",
"panel": "menu",
"items": [
{
"name": "Move",
"icon": "move",
"panel": "move"
},
{
"name": "Extrude",
"icon": "filament",
"panel": "extrude"
},
{
"name": "Fan",
"icon": "fan",
"panel": "fan"
},
{
"name": "Temperature",
"icon": "heat-up",
"panel": "temperature"
},
{
"name": "Disable Motors",
"icon": "motor-off",
"method": "printer.gcode.script",
"params": {"script": "M18"},
}
]
},
{
"name": "Configuration",
"icon": "control",
"panel": "menu",
"items": [
{
"name": "Bed Level",
"icon": "bed-level",
"panel": "bed_level"
},
{
"name": "ZOffsets",
"icon": "z-offset-increase",
"panel": "zcalibrate"
},
{
"name": "Network",
"icon": "network",
"panel": "network"
},
{
"name": "System",
"icon": "info",
"panel": "system"
}
]
},
{
"name": "Print",
"icon": "print",
"panel": "print"
}
]
Print menu
The print menu controls items that are available during a print job. Certain panels, such as movement or homing, are panels that shouldn't be displayed during a print as they could cause print errors. A default configuration is below:
"printmenu": [
{
"name": "Temperature",
"icon": "heat-up",
"panel": "temperature"
},
{
"name": "Tuning",
"icon": "fan",
"panel": "finetune"
},
{
"name": "Network",
"icon": "network",
"panel": "network"
},
{
"name": "System",
"icon": "info",
"panel": "system"
},
{
"name": "Extrude",
"icon": "filament",
"panel": "extrude"
}
]
