( 🔴 Screenshots)

Changelog:

• Update to kernel k5.10.46
• LuCi web interface to easily set-up internet connection.
• Custom Argon theme and config luci app
• Web UI with integrated Terminal and File Transfer luci app (with which you can download folders as well like /tmp/timelapse if you want to render the frames on your PC)
• Fluidd v1.16.2
• Mainsail v1.6.0
• zswap(lzo/zbud) on and zram with 60mb + 512mb swap on sdcard
• timelapse autorender now is set by default to False

STEPS:

• Make sure you've flahsed/sysupgraded latest .bin file from down below.
• Connect to the KlipperWrt access point
• Access LuCi web interface and log in on 192.168.1.1:81
• (optional but recommended) Add a password to the KlipperWrt access point: Wireless -> Under wireless overview EDIT the KlipperWrt interface -> Wireless Security -> Choose an encryption -> set a password -> Save -> Save & Apply
• (optional but recommended) Add a password: System -> Administration -> Router Password
• Connect as a client to your Internet router: Network -> Wireless -> SCAN -> Join Network -> check Lock to BSSID -> Create/Assign Firewall zone then under custom type wwan enter -> Submit -> Save -> Save & Apply
• Connect back to your router and find the new box's ip inside the DHCP list. It should be associated with the KlipperWrt hostname.
• ❗ Access the terminal tab (Services -> Terminal) ❗ If terminal tab is not working go to Config tab and change Interface to the interface you are connecting through the box (your wireless router SSID for example) -> Save & Apply.
• Download and execute the install script:

cd ~
wget https://github.com/ihrapsa/KlipperWrt/raw/main/scripts/KlipperWrt_install.sh
chmod +x KlipperWrt_install.sh
./KlipperWrt_install.sh

• Follow the script prompts to install either fluidd or Mainsail automatically
• Wait until it prompts you to reboot
• When done and rebooted use http://klipperwrt.local or http://box-ipto access the Klipper client
• Done!

Setting up your printer.cfg

• put your printer.cfg inside /root/klipper_config
• delete these blocks from your printer.cfg: [virtual_sdcard], [display_status], [pause_resume] since they're included inside client.cfg
• move all your macros to client_macros.cfg
• add these 2 lines inside your printer.cfg:
  [include client.cfg]
[include client_macros.cfg]
• Done!

---

Notes:

• If you want to keep the box wired to your router Change network protocol inside Network -> Interfaces-> change Protocol from Static address to DHCP client -> Save & apply.
• Timelapse is set to autorender: False under [timelapse] block inside moonraker.conf. This way if the print fails you'll still be able to render it by executing the TIMELAPSE_RENDER macro. You can also the frames folder /tmp/timelapse (using Services -> File Transfer -> right click on the folder -> download) and render the frames on your PC. Check here for how to set your TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME macro or TIMELAPSE_TAKE_PARKED_FRAME inside your slicer layer change.

KlipperWrt v1.0

Mainsail and Fluidd extroot filesystem for the Creality Wi-Fi Box running OpenWrt.

Each archive comes preinstalled with either fluidd v1.14.0 or Mainsail v1.6.0, Klipper, Moonraker, mjpg-streamer for webcam stream and Fry's timelapse component for taking frames and rendering the video.

STEPS:

• Make sure you've flahsed/sysupgraded latest .bin file from /Firmware/OpenWrt_snapshot/ or down below.
• Format an sd card as ext4 and untar one of the archive to its root: eg: sudo tar -xzvf fluiddWrt.tar.gz -C /mnt where /mnt is the path where the sd card is mounted on your linux pc. Might be different so double-check.
• Do the Wi-Fi step if you haven't done it already
• Do the extroot part ❗ EXCEPT ❗ this line: mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p1 (otherwise you'll format it again)
• ❗ SKIP ❗ swap step since it already comes inside the archive
• Reboot

Setting up your printer.cfg

• put your printer.cfg inside /root/klipper_config
• delete these blocks from your printer.cfg: [virtual_sdcard], [display_status], [pause_resume] since they're included inside client.cfg
• move all your macros to client_macros.cfg
• add these 2 lines inside your printer.cfg:
  [include client.cfg]
[include client_macros.cfg]
• Done

Notes:

• If the box doesn't connect back to your router wirelessly connect to it with an ethernet cable and setup/troubleshoot wifi.
• timelapse is set to autorender which might take a while to finish after a long print. You might set it to autorender: False under [timelapse] block inside moonraker.conf. Check here for how to set your TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME macro or TIMELAPSE_TAKE_PARKED_FRAME inside your slicer layer change.
