Looking for testers for "optimized" klipper configs

Hello all, a while back I released a repo of opinionated and "optimized" klipper configs for the Max 4. It drove me crazy to watch the printer sit and do nothing during every print start and filament change. It also moves so slowly stock.

I now have a new version that:

  • Is easier to install, just one command
  • Has an auto updater
  • Retains the stock gcode macros so any previously sliced files continue to work

If you're interested, here's what I would need from you:

  1. Must have a Max 4 with 1 Qidi box (no box and multiple boxes come later)
  2. Have some knowledge of logging into the printer and running commands
  3. Be comfortable with slicer side machine profile gcode
  4. It would be best if you're running Orca nightly (2.4.0+) so you can subscribe to the shared Orca cloud machine profile
  5. Have some appetite for things to go wrong
  6. Good troubleshooting skills for if something goes wrong
  7. Feedback both positive and negative!

If that sounds like you, I'd love to have you try it out and let me know how it goes and if there's anything you'd change. Keep in mind this only effects print start, filament changes, and print end. So if something goes wrong during your print outside of a filament change, that would not be caused by these macros.

You can find more information about this new version here, but you will need to run the development install command located here.

I look forward to hearing how it goes!

I wanted to document as much of the machine as possible in one place as well as house some FAQs, mods, etc.
