Frankenstein V1
In Agust 2022 I started my first attempt to build a 3D printer, it was an old second-hand FLSUN printer of a kind. When arriving at my home it looked like an impossible project to get working again. But somehow I was able to get it to print and was able to print some parts so I could start upgrading the printer. Since my printer was built of parts from several different stuff I had that lying around it got the nice name “Frankenstein”.
Software/Firmware
For the first prints, I used the Marlin firmware already installed on the Makerbase board that was a part of the original printer I bought. I did not like Marlin much so I early converted to Klipper. Since I did not have a Pi to run Klipper on I instead used an old Cromebox that was hacked. As a screen for Klipper, I used an old tablet running XServer-XSDL so I was able to get Klipperscreen on it. This has been working so well that I still use my old tablet as a screen for my Frankenstein printer. This is how to setup Klipperscreen on a Android unit.
