Hello @Mightywren ! Have a look at the printer.cfg if there is a line that says: `include klipper.cfg` (or so) You then comment it out with a hash (#) or delete the line. The question is: Are there macros in that file that are used elsewhere. ---

Yes there is, and i already tried that but more errors keep on popping up, ive looked at the folder with Win sp and it says the Klipper config is missing, i go look for it online and just come up with printer cfgs ---

It seems, the rest depends on that klipper.cfg. I can’t say where you can get it from. Did you download the printer cfg from the net? May that location can give you a hint. ---

I would think this being a klipper discussion that someone would know, not being a smart arse or anything just a bit frustrated as my printer was working fine one month, go to start up again and all my update section files were all corrupted so hence a full reinstall. But i hsve a small hint i think, before the error message comes up it says that Moonraker cant connect to Klipper, dont know if this is any help or not. ---

Would anyone running Klipper 12 please be able to WinSCP into their raspberry pi and see if they have a Klipper config file available and if so post it, just to see if im barking up the wrong tree or not ---

> [@Mightywren](#): > > But i hsve a small hint i think, before the error message comes up it says that Moonraker cant connect to Klipper, dont know if this is any help or not. Right. Have a look at your klippy.log. ```auto [mcu] serial = /dev/serial/by-id/ [printer] kinematics = none max_velocity = 1000 max_accel = 1000 ======================= mcu 'mcu': Starting serial connect mcu 'mcu': Unable to open serial port: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/serial/by-id/: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/' ``` This is not looking good. Seems you have no config for your printer at all. You didn’t initiate the serial connection nor your kinematics. Something is totally wrong. > [@Mightywren](#): > > have just done a new install using KIAUH on my raspberry pi and have installed my usual configs This can’t be your usual configuration. You might read the documentation again. Sineos’ knowledge base [Knowledge Base - Klipper](https://klipper.discourse.group/c/knowledge-base/) is also helpful. > [@Mightywren](#): > > I would think this being a klipper discussion that someone would know, not being a smart arse or anything just a bit frustrated as my printer was working fine one month People here try to help. > [@Mightywren](#): > > go to start up again and all my update section files were all corrupted so hence a full reinstall. Why were your files corrupted? Can you write more about that. Before you start a new installing, you may find the cause why your working printer stopped working!!! How old is the sdcard in your RPi? Good luck, hcet14 ---
