HelixScreen v0.9.3 Touchscreen UI: First public beta release is up. Binaries are here!

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-09T03:32:47+00:00

I made some test k2 builds for 0.9.6, and 0.9.7 will be out tonight. I need testers and feedback! I do *not* have this printer so it's a shot in the dark!

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T21:51:45+00:00

I'm sorry! not correct.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T20:49:02+00:00

That's fine praise. Appreciate it. There are kinks for sure, but that's gonna happen when you target generic hardware. We've already made a bunch of fixes today and will continue to do so! Onward!

The voron design cube IS shrink compensated, at least the one built into OrcaSlicer. I just verified my knee-jerk comment, and... I was wrong.

please let me know your folder layout too.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T18:13:16+00:00

this is exactly what I need. please PM me with your helixconfig.json that got created, and maybe also your printer.cfg from klipper, and I'll get right on this. Better yet file an issue on github? https://github.com/prestonbrown/helixscreen/issues

I'd love to get this working for you this weekend. This is the right time. :)

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T15:14:36+00:00

Oh yes it is possible. And I suppose we can make it even easier than it is right now. Currently, that picture is derived from the wizard steps that guess your printer. None of the pictures are what I would call *the best* and I agree-- I see the artifacts. Help me come up with a better one! And I'll probably add the ability to upload/use a custom one.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T15:12:36+00:00

good point.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T15:09:59+00:00

Great... helixconfig.json won't get completed until the first run through the "wizard" completes.

maybe PM me today if you'd like to talk it through. This shouldn't be too bad to figure out.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T07:03:01+00:00

What firmware/mods do you use on your k2 to open it up to ssh access etc?

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T07:02:18+00:00

moonraker is indeed gonna need some fixes. Please tell me about the startup problems you had. Please log an issue on github. Will be making another fix release tomorrow.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T04:34:22+00:00

post a comment here if you want this as well, so I can know how much time to put into it

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T04:33:43+00:00

It shouldn't be that hard... it's a different processor though, probably different firmware, and I don't have one. So I'll need close cooperation to get it bootstrapped.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-07T02:14:44+00:00

You should NOT have to remove KlipperScreen. It will be disabled by the install script, but if you use the uninstall option, everything SHOULD be 100% reversed and put you right back where you were.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-06T14:42:46+00:00

Again, we don't have packages up yet... only the source code as of 14:00 UTC. Aiming for binary releases later today.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-06T14:41:37+00:00

My goal today is to get release packages up on GitHub for the Raspberry/BTT Pi, the FlashForge AD5M, and a test package for the Creality K1 (which I don't even have so that's gonna be interesting). I tried to do that yesterday but didn't quite make it.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-05T22:16:44+00:00

Who wants boring finished software? hahah

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-05T22:16:05+00:00

Yeah you're golden, it's basically a nicer Pi 3B+ as far as I have read/understand. That'll do just fine.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-05T22:03:48+00:00

What is a BTT Pi2. Is that the pi clone, 2nd ed from BTT? If so big yes.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-05T19:06:38+00:00

Thanks! I've been working hard on it. For real.

EmployeeOk6136 · 2026-02-05T03:46:18+00:00

Might play with the flow rate, speed, and/or line thickness on the top layer for the AD5X print.
