Klipper for the "Anycubic Kobra 2"

Hi,
as a user asked me in another thread about Klipper for the Anycubic Kobra 2, I was looking around for a printer.cfg for him as there isn't an example cfg in the official Klipper repo yet.
I came across this discussion where this guide for the Kobra 2 installation was mentioned. That guy also offers the printer.cfg for the Kobra 2.
You'll also find some notes and a link to a table of the mobo's pinout in a certain PR here.

Might be interesting or helpful for someone here, so I thought I'd spread the info.
Please note that I personally don't own a Kobra 2 and that I just found these informations - so use it at your own risk.. ;)

good night, someone. Have you ever installed klipper on a kobra2? I am interested in doing it but there is not much information

What do you mean there's not much information?
Did you check the links I provided in the initial post? One of them is literally a step-by-step instruction..

Basically you need two files:
1) a klipper.bin file for the specific type of mainboard, which is the firmware file you'll flash the stock mainboard with, and
2) the according printer.cfg file which contains all the machine specific settings and pin assignments.

In addition to that, you also need a host like a RaspberryPi, an old laptop, a ThinClient or whatever, that runs the Klipper, Moonraker and Mainsail software. You can't use Klipper without this additional host, as that's the one which is doing all the work.

I'd suggest to watch some good YouTube videos about Klipper first of all and read the official Klipper documentation to understand how Klipper works and what you have to do. The basic steps and principles are always the same, no matter which printer model you have. The klipper.bin and printer.cfg files are the ones that are machine-/mainboard-specific then.

Thank you for finding this. I keep hearing klipper is great.

Welcome :)
Oh yes, it really is! Turned my Neos into useable and reliable machines. Perfect 1st layer every time, better ABL, advanced functions like PressureAdvance and InputShaping useable which means better quality prints and higher speeds as well and much more. Just great and definitely worth a try! Seems to be a bit challenging in the beginning, but once you get used to it, you'll never go back to stock :)

I assume you ask if I installed Klipper on Kobra Neos or Kobra 2 Neos? If so: Kobra Neo. Should be available for Kobra 2 Neo soon as well tho as ppl are already on it - in case you're asking cuz you have a K2Neo..

Oh thanks. Yes i have the 2 Neo, can you show me the progress on the K2Neo?

Not yet, as I assume that you want a working solution instead of something you have to investigate and work on yourself. Once I'll come across a working solution, you can find it here.

Got working klipper firmware on K2N, but config still is incomplete.

As I said: ppl are working on it, but it's not the final working solution out there yet.. ;)
I'll comment at the other post then as this thread is about the K2 and not the K2Neo..
