Printer Model: Creality CR10-S
MCU / Printerboard: ? All I know is that it says in the “about printer” section “v1.1.6” and “Creality v2.1” klippy.log none
Describe your issue:
Hello! I am new to Klipper and plan on installing it over the next month. I have a few clarifying questions, but first I should say that I have a Raspberry Pi 4 hooked up to the Raspberry Pi 7" Screen running Octoprint. I am intending to run Klipper and KlipperScreen. Here are my questions:
I do not have a desktop OS on my Pi. Do I need to have one to run KlipperScreen?
If I am going to run Klipper and KlipperScreen, will I end up having to run OctoPrint, Klipper, Raspberry OS, Moonraker, and KlipperScreen all at once? And is that even possible?
No it is not. If you are happy with it, continue using it. There is no disadvantage and in fact its options to customize still exceeds other options.
The advantage of the other solutions is that they are specifically tailored to Klipper.
If you do not mess up the different ports then you can run all solutions in parallel, otherwise Octoprint is standalone and does not need Moonraker, KlipperScreen, Mainsail etc.
The place where you have put “Mainsail or Fluidd” is wrong. These solutions connect via JSON RPC to Moonraker and thus need to be in the box in the lower left corner.
KlipperScreen would also belong into this box.

Is Octoprint really that bad? I spent a lot of time installing and refining Octoprint. Is it really worth it?

Nope, it isn’t. It is just different. And you have quite a bunch of plugins.
You can get a ready to run OctoPrint-Klipper solution as a RasPi image.
Else there is KIAUH.
To tell what is worth or not you have to experience yourself. - it’s a matter of taste.
DON’T TELL THAT. Let people make their owne meaning about that.
Ever worked with OctoPrint?
So do not make any such claims when you have zero experience with it.
Hey guys! Thanks for the input. I will consider getting rid of Octoprint. Could someone put that diagram into words and use layman’s terms? I am completely new to coding and electronics in general. The only thing that I have done even remotely along these lines is install Octoprint. And that’s not saying anything!
Good morning! So I did some research, and it looks like I’m going to want to use Mainsail. With Mainsail, is all you have to do upload a Klipper config file after the initial Mainsail setup? And because Mainsail comes with Moonraker, what would I have to do to install Klipper Screen? Also, will the Creality 2017 CR10-S Config file in the directory work for my printer based off of the Versions mentioned in the MCU/Printerboard Section of the first post on this thread(Link to File: klipper/config/printer-creality-cr10s-2017.cfg at master · Klipper3d/klipper · GitHub)?
