Fluid setup makes it simple

Unlock seamless 3D printing: Your step-by-step liquid setup guide

The software that sets up your 3D printer should not feel solved by solving the Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. If you’ve heard about body fluid– Klipper’s stylish, powerful web interface – and feel fear and relax. This guide strips away complexity and provides a clear, professional roadmap to transform your printing workflow. At Greatlight, where we use industrial-grade SLM 3D printers to provide precision metal prototypes in record time, we know one or two things about efficiency. Smooth liquid setup is not only convenient; it is a game-changing game that changes the efficiency of the game.

Why liquid? Professionals choose Klipper

Klipper firmware revolutionizes 3D printing with its high-speed, high-precision motion control. However, interacting with it via the command line is not for everyone. Enter Fluidd: a lightweight open source web interface that brings Klipper’s power to your browser. Key advantages include:

• Real-time monitoring: Tracks the printing progress, temperature and layer views of any device.
• Intuitive control: One-click to pause, adjust or fine-tune the settings.
• File Management: Upload, organize and slice files directly in your browser.
• Macro Integration: Automatically repeat tasks to maintain consistency (e.g., bed, filament variation).

At Greatlight, we value tools for removing bottlenecks – whether we are developing aerospace-grade titanium components or helping customers iterate their designs within 72 hours. Fluidd is exactly the same as our philosophy: Precision + Speed = Innovation.

Simple fluid setup: step by step drill

Follow this foolproof process. Prerequisites: Raspberry Pi (3B+ or newer), configured Klipper firmware installation and network access.

1. Prepare Raspberry Pi
   Make sure your PI runs a new OS (Raspberry Pi Os Lite is recommended). Update the package:
   bash
   sudo apt update&& sudo apt upgrade-y

2. Install Klipper and dependencies
   Klipper must be installed first. For simplicity, use Kiauh (Klipper Installation and Update Assistant):
   bash
   git clone https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh.git
   ./kiauh/kiauh.sh

   Choose Klipper, Moonraker (API service) and your preferred slicer.

3. Install fluid
   In Kiauh, navigate to "Advanced Options" > "body fluid" And install. Alternatively, manually deploy the fluid:
   bash
   CD ~
   git clone https://github.com/fluidd-core/fluidd
   sudo cp -r fluidd/usr/share/nginx/html

4. Configure Moonraker
   edit moonraker.conf Allow fluid access:

   [authorization]
   Trusted_clients:
   192.168.1.0/24# Adjust to your LAN subnet
   cors_domains:
   http:// your-pi-ip:80

5. Set up a reverse proxy (NGINX)
   Create a new configuration:
   bash
   sudo nano/etc/nginx/sites-bailable/fluidd

   Paste:

   server {
   Listen to 80;
   serverName ;
   Place/ {
   root/usr/share/nginx/html/fluidd;
   Index index.html;
   }
   }

   Enable the website: sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/fluidd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.

6. Restart the service and access the fluid
   bash
   sudo systemctl restart nginx moonraker

   Open the browser and navigate to http://<your-pi-IP>. Look!

FLOIDD FAQ: Quick answers to universal quirks

Q1: Fluidd will not connect to Klipper/Moonraker. What’s wrong?
Answer: Double check:

• Lunar Gallery trusted_clients Include your IP subnet.
• Lawn mower(printer.cfg) Have the correct one [mcu] Serial path.
• Restart all services: sudo systemctl restart klipper moonraker nginx.

Q2: Can I run the liquid with Bapurin?
Answer: Not recommended. Both compete for USB serial access. Specializes in using Fluidd or Baplen.

Q3: How to protect liquids from external access?
A: Enable HTTPS using a VPN or via Let’s Encrypt and Nginx. Avoid forwarding ports without authentication.

Q4: After installing the fluid, my touch screen UI disappeared. Make fixed?
A: Disable Klipper’s virtual display printer.cfg:Comment [display] and [display_data] part.

Q5: Does Greatlight support multi-matter 3D printing?
Answer: Absolutely! Our SLM printers process transitions and soluble support for graded materials in complex geometries in titanium, copper and custom alloys.
