Hi, I am new to Klipper. I am looking at buying the Creality K1 3D printer and thinking of using Klipper. I use Autodesk Inventor as 3D CAD, how do I print a 3D model, and do I need Klipper.

I also use LinuxCNC and write g-code to machine metals, would Klipper also do CNC and if so, would Klipper have any advantages over LinuxCNC

Hi iotamy,

The Creality K Series runs a custom Creality OS of Linux and a modified Creality Klipper.

The system would be crippled if changed to strait up Klipper due to the custom hardware used.
