Klipper: [Feature request] hot swap Klipper configs for different filaments.

Created on 16 Nov 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: KevinOConnor/klipper

Maybe there is something more elegant, but I would like to see a way to select configs for different filaments/nozzles within the Klipper plugin for octopi to account mostly for pressure advance. I assume the ground work would need to happen with Klipper before it can be implemented in the plugin.
Thanks for the great software. This project is really neat.

Workaround:
change klipper config manually before using a different kind of filament.

This can already be accomplished with g-code macros. Simply create separate macros that have the different pressure advance values that you want. Pressure advance is run-time configurable, so you don't need to edit your config file.

awesome thank you! I will try to add to the docs when I try this.

Slic3r PE has support for putting in the macro, and you don't need to guess where the filament will change.

Thanks! I'm still working on making the macro...
for now I'm just commenting out the values of the filament I'm not using in the config file.

It looks like the original question was answered (use a gcode_macro or similar run-time setting), so I'm going to close this issue.
