I’ve printed enough since I got it running to feel like there isn’t a performance hit. I haven’t checked recently, but when I was using an Octopus in bridge mode it wasn’t possible to flash new versions of Klipper on the board without physical access to the board to enter the bootloader. This wasn’t a major issue because I typically go multiple months between updates, but it’s a hassle on my Voron to access the electronics. I’ve since switched to a different control board and a separate MKS CANable clone for ease of software updates. --- _[View the full topic](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/setup-ebb36-v1-2-connected-to-octopus-pro/6617)._
