Fluidd, a browser-based control screen for Klipper 3D printers, released version 1.38.0 on November 12. If your printer runs Klipper with Fluidd, this update is worth a look.
The main new feature is a Firmware Updates card on the Settings page. According to the project’s pull request, it works through a separate Moonraker agent called aldis (version 0.3.0 or later), which checks the firmware on each control board Klipper is set up to use and can build and flash the out-of-date ones. Boards the agent can’t flash show a status label with no update button. If you don’t install aldis, the card doesn’t appear and nothing changes for you.
Other changes in the changelog:
- The G-code preview can now color the toolpath by feature, speed or fan.
- Support for Moonraker’s extensions API and for TMC5262 drivers.
- An auto-map button in the print dialog for AFC users.
- Better websocket reconnection.
- Bug fixes, including a runaway time estimate during the start macro and several file manager issues.
