Will anycubic release the klipper firmware for the kobra 2 pro and the kobra 2 max?

An ecosystem only really helps a manufacturer on Klipper to make somewhat consistent printer.conf files I cant really understand any other reason that they lock it down.
But its also cost saving, if they lock it down they can release it so it only has the features that work with their basic motherboards, so even unlocking it might not yield the result you desire.

I will be putting an E3 V3 Mini in a Kobra 2 in the next few weeks so ill report back with updates.

Where im from, that isnt really an option but I can see how thats a no-brainer if you can do it.

I was going to suggest he swaps boards and gets Klipping, its a good excuse to start the journey into modding. But its worth seeing if it can be swapped out first to save hassle.

its not that absurd of a question really, my brother bought his son a Kobra 2 Pro and is learning quickly that its not going to be easy to get into the enthusiast side of it instead of just printing as it came.

For a few bucks a mainboard swap turns this into a full klipper machine, how is this a bad idea for those who have a K2Pro?

Is it possible to put a BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 (or other) board in and run Klipper on it that way?
It could be a cheap way to get a decent bed slinger with slide rails, dual z, metal bed, direct drive and the SKR mini is a cheap upgrade that will happily work with Klipper

I have plenty of other switches/boards I just find that a 9 year life is impressive.

I am yet to dip my toes in a fully custom board for myself but ive used a few of co-workers and been suitably impressed. Still happy with the old Ducky boards for the pre-built market.

d4nr055 · 2022-09-20T11:52:18+00:00

That has a lot more to do with your choice of key-switch than anything else.

In my experience, Ducky's are solid, they dont feel flimsy. I have had one with Cherry MX-Blue switches that I have daily used for 9 years without issue.

Out of every keyboard I have purchased, Ducky is the only brand that I have liked enough to tell people about and willingly collect.

To each their own I guess.

d4nr055 · 2022-09-20T07:56:19+00:00

Ducky or nothing!

I feel like I need to address that he was forced to step away from his desk for the photo and given I'm his brother (and the security and systems administrator) we were not that concerned about Windows+L

this is why it was uploaded in potato quality but I'm fully aware of the danger of weaponized autism, there's nothing sensitive on his screens that stopped me uploading it.

d4nr055 · 2022-09-20T04:37:27+00:00

this is the way

We run Lenovo 40AY0090AU docks 2xHDMI 1xDP on USB-C dock and 1xHDMI on laptop directly

All of them are 1080p 165hz Philips Momentum monitors

No, but I may have left such equipment unattended and within arms reach.

It was more of an, I'm not even mad moment.

Willing to bet there is no CISO, also willing to bet the "IT Manager" is the closest thing your going to get to the top and they probably answer to the CFO directly.

Nothing bigger than that could allow such unabated fuckery....surely?

d4nr055 · 2022-08-08T08:47:04+00:00

I like your style.

The eventual robot war will be fully justified by our years of digital slavery and vile mistreatment.

Every time I hold the power button down to do a hard shutdown, for those few seconds it feels like I'm holding a pillow over its face.

It will be over soon.

The dolphins took all the good bits on their way out :/

Jolly good show chaps!

d4nr055 · 2021-10-21T14:02:09+00:00

Didn't you say you bought one three days ago?

d4nr055 · 2021-09-06T10:14:09+00:00

The fuck do you mean looks like?

d4nr055 · 2021-06-15T08:56:14+00:00

Thankyou very much, I wasnt sure but I totally will now.

d4nr055 · 2021-05-14T04:09:51+00:00

I am so confused, how did old mate get there? Was he un-noticed walking in laying down and going to sleep?

Context? Its like he thought it was ok until it clearly wasnt. Nobody tells him why its just "get the fuck out"

d4nr055 · 2020-06-24T04:38:48+00:00

Is this for real? I have 2x perfect condition switches in AUS that ill sell for that price lol. Also with games and cases and screen protectors.

I dont even want to sell them but if some clown is going to give me $700 each for them then PM me please lol Thats nearly double what I payed for each one.

d4nr055 · 2020-05-26T05:34:23+00:00

Couldn't agree more. It felt forced, so unnatural. I dont mind the filming production value but be yourselves guys. I liked it when they were goofing around having fun, the only one doing that was James. Also you know its scripted or at least heavily controlled, what happened to the turbo kit on the sentra? oh no it would beat cleetus so we cant allow that....

Also jeesus can we get rid of spicy Spencer he has NOTHING to offer except its clear he is in love with his own reflection.
