FlipsiForge
Filament stock, print files and printer status in one place. FlipsiForge connects directly to your Klipper printer (Moonraker) and keeps track of spools, consumption and running jobs.
Was es macht
FAQ
Klipper printers with Moonraker API (e.g. Elegoo Neptune, Voron, RatRig). The connection runs over your LAN.
You register your spools once. FlipsiForge tracks consumption from the print history.
No. FlipsiForge only connects to your printer in your home network.
Warum FlipsiForge?
3D printing today mostly happens through web interfaces. They go a long way, but they are still a web service tied to the printer.
Gegen Mainsail / Fluidd
Stark: the standard plumage for Klipper printers: real-time print control, in the browser, reachable everywhere.
Der Nachteil: it lives on the printer's network, the desktop is just a browser window. Filament stock and remaining-quantity tracking are nowhere to be found there.
FlipsiForge: a Windows desktop app with a file manager for uploads, printer control and filament tracking, without hunting for a web interface.
Gegen OctoPrint
Stark: a huge plugin ecosystem, community.
Der Nachteil: A Raspberry Pi setup with maintenance, plugins, updates: for people who just want to print, that is administration overhead.
FlipsiForge: eine EXE, kein Server-Konstrukt, offline-first, ohne laufende Web-Instanz am Drucker zu brauchen.
