Why use this?

Klipper moves computationally demanding motion planning to a host computer such as a Raspberry Pi while using microcontrollers for real-time stepper and heater control. This architecture enables higher print speeds, more sophisticated kinematics, and extensive configuration flexibility.

It is especially popular for CoreXY printers, custom printers, multi-toolhead systems, and high-speed FDM machines. Engineers choose Klipper when they want precise motion control, advanced calibration, and a highly configurable firmware stack. [75]
