# klipper-macros

My Klipper macros, the small Klipper modules they need, and helper scripts,
from a Voron 2.4 (350) with an AFC Box Turtle (5 lanes), Blobifier, Beacon,
Nitehawk-SB toolboard, bd_pressure, bdwidth and an iHeater chamber heater.

Installs with one script and updates through Moonraker's update manager.

## Contents

### Macros (`macros/`)

`printer.cfg` includes only `macros/klipper-macros.cfg`; that file includes
everything below, grouped by topic. Comment out what you do not use there.

| File | Macros | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| `save_variables.cfg` | the one `[save_variables]` for all macros (file `bd_pa_variables.cfg` in the config folder) | — |
| **blobifier/** | | |
| `blobifier.cfg` | `BLOBIFIER`, `BLOBIFIER_CLEAN`, `BLOBIFIER_PARK`, `BLOBIFIER_SHAKE_BUCKET`, ...: purge bucket and nozzle brush for AFC (Turtleblobifier, heavily modified) | Blobifier hardware, AFC |

| `pause_resume.cfg` | `PAUSE`, `RESUME`, `CANCEL_PRINT`, `M600` (RESUME also handles a running `HEAT_SOAK`, and after a PAUSE purges 40 mm with `BLOBIFIER_CHECKED` first: a failed check keeps the print paused, `RESUME PURGE=0` skips the purge; CANCEL_PRINT runs the same cleanup as `PRINT_END`) | `heating/heat_soak.cfg`, `leds/`, `blobifier/`, `afc/purge_check.cfg` |
| `filament.cfg` | `LOAD_FILAMENT`, `UNLOAD_FILAMENT` | — |
| `homing.cfg` | `HOME` | — |

| `lane_tools.cfg` | `LANE_FEED_UNTIL_HUB_OPEN`, `LANE_FEED_ABORT` | AFC |
| `purge_check.cfg` | `BLOBIFIER_CHECKED`: checks every AFC purge with bd_pressure (and optionally bdwidth motion) | Blobifier, AFC, `extras/bdpressure_check.py` + bd_pressure load-check firmware, `extras/bdwidth_status.py` |
| `purge_until_empty.cfg` | `PURGE_UNTIL_EMPTY`: purges a snapped filament out until there is no more nozzle pressure | same as `purge_check.cfg` |

### Klipper modules (`extras/`)

| File | For |
|---|---|
| `xy_drift.py` | `AFC_XY_SAFETY_CHECK`: measures lost XY steps from the stepper step counts at the endstop triggers (CoreXY). The toolhead position after homing cannot show lost steps. |
| `bdwidth_status.py` | exposes bdwidth's motion counter and width to macros |
| `bdpressure_check.py` | bd_pressure load check (`BDP_CHECK_START/STOP/QUERY`). Needs the load-check firmware from the bd_pressure `load-check-extension` branch; on stock firmware it reports "not available" and does nothing. |

### Scripts (`scripts/`)

Firmware update scripts for all MCUs (Klipper and Katapult). They contain
this printer's CAN UUIDs and serial IDs: see [scripts/README.md](scripts/README.md)
before using them on another printer.

### Tools (`tools/`)

`effective_config.py` builds the config Klipper gets from
`klipper-macros.cfg` (includes expanded, duplicate sections merged) and
compares it between git refs, for example `python tools/effective_config.py HEAD`
after a change. `CLAUDE.md` has the notes for working on this repo with
Claude Code.

## Install

On the Klipper host:

```bash
cd ~ && git clone https://mangavalk.com/mangavalk/klipper-macros.git
~/klipper-macros/install.sh
```

`install.sh`:

- links `extras/*.py` into `~/klipper/klippy/extras/` (and hides them from
  Klipper's update manager),
- links `macros/` to `~/printer_data/config/klipper-macros` and `scripts/` to
  `~/printer_data/config/klipper-macros-scripts`, so the files show up in
  Mainsail/Fluidd and can be edited there,
- makes the shell scripts executable,
- adds this section to `moonraker.conf` (once, with a backup):

```ini
[update_manager klipper-macros]
type: git_repo
path: ~/klipper-macros
origin: https://mangavalk.com/mangavalk/klipper-macros.git
primary_branch: main
managed_services: klipper
install_script: install.sh
```

Then:

1. In `printer.cfg`, after `[include mainsail.cfg]` **and after the AFC
   includes** (`[include AFC/*.cfg]`):
   ```ini
   [include klipper-macros/klipper-macros.cfg]
   ```
   `bd_pa_spoolman.cfg` wraps AFC's `SET_SPOOL_ID` with `rename_existing`,
   which only works when AFC is loaded first; otherwise Klipper stops with
   `Existing command 'SET_SPOOL_ID' not found in gcode_macro rename`.
2. Restart the **Klipper service** (`sudo systemctl restart klipper`, or
   Mainsail → services → klipper → restart). A `RESTART` or
   `FIRMWARE_RESTART` does not load new or changed Python modules.
3. Restart Moonraker once, so the update manager shows `klipper-macros`.

Updates then come through Moonraker; it re-runs `install.sh` and restarts
Klipper.

### Switching from copies in the config folder

If these macros already exist as files in your config folder (as on the
original printer: `Macros/*.cfg` and `bd_pa_afc_spoolman.cfg`), remove those
includes when adding `klipper-macros.cfg`, otherwise the macros are defined
twice and the old copy may win:

- remove `[include bd_pa_afc_spoolman.cfg]` and
  `[include ./blobifier/blobifier.cfg]` from `printer.cfg`,
- remove `[include ./Macros/macros.cfg]` and add
  `[include klipper-macros/klipper-macros.cfg]` after `[include AFC/*.cfg]`,
- keep including what is not in this repo yourself, for example
  `[include Macros/timelapse.cfg]` and `[include Macros/TEST_SPEED.cfg]`.

`bd_pa_variables.cfg` (saved PA values and the Blobifier blob count) stays
where it is, in the config folder; it is data, not part of the repo. Before,
both `blobifier.cfg` and `bd_pa_afc_spoolman.cfg` had their own
`[save_variables]`; Klipper merged them and the last one won, so the blob
count was already stored in `bd_pa_variables.cfg` and
`blobifier/blob_vars.cfg` was no longer used. Now it is defined once, in
`save_variables.cfg`.

## Adapting to another printer

These are the settings of one printer. Before using a file, check:

- **Names:** `fila_width_0` (bdwidth), `bd_pa` (bd_pressure), `sb_leds`,
  `caselight`, `BedFans`, `iHeater_H`, lane names `lane1..lane5`.
- **Pins and serial IDs:** `blobifier/blobifier_hw.cfg` (`PC1`, `PC3`),
  `sensors/motion_sensor.cfg` (`PC0`),
  `heating/chamber_iheater.cfg` (serial ID).
- **Positions:** the bed centre `X175 Y175` (350 mm bed) in `print/homing.cfg`
  and `print/print_start_end.cfg`.
  `AFC_XY_SAFETY_CHECK` uses the axis limits from your config.
- **Settings at the top of a file** (`variable_...`): `afc/purge_check.cfg`
  (`mode: "enforce"`, `motion_check: False` because this printer's bdwidth
  motion reading is unreliable), `pressure_advance/bd_pa_spoolman.cfg`
  (`spoolman_url`), `heating/bed_fans.cfg`, `heating/filament_drying.cfg`.
- `xy_drift.py` is for CoreXY only.

Comment out files you do not need in `klipper-macros.cfg`.

## Uninstall

```bash
~/klipper-macros/install.sh --uninstall
```

Then remove the include from `printer.cfg` and the
`[update_manager klipper-macros]` section from `moonraker.conf`, and restart
the Klipper service.
