## Community Forum
|
||||
|
||||
There is a
|
||||
[Klipper Community Discourse server](https://community.klipper3d.org)
|
||||
for discussions on Klipper.
|
||||
|
||||
## Discord Chat
|
||||
|
||||
There is a Discord server dedicated to Klipper at:
|
||||
[https://discord.klipper3d.org](https://discord.klipper3d.org).
|
||||
|
||||
This server is run by a community of Klipper enthusiasts dedicated to
|
||||
discussions on Klipper. It allows users to chat with other users in
|
||||
real-time.
|
||||
|
||||
## I have a question about Klipper
|
||||
|
||||
Many questions we receive are already answered in the
|
||||
[Klipper documentation](Overview.md). Please be sure to to read the
|
||||
documentation and follow the directions provided there.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to search for similar questions in the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum).
|
||||
|
||||
If you are interested in sharing your knowledge and experience with
|
||||
other Klipper users then you can join the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum) or
|
||||
[Klipper Discord Chat](#discord-chat). Both are communities where
|
||||
Klipper users can discuss Klipper with other users.
|
||||
|
||||
Many questions we receive are general 3d-printing questions that are
|
||||
not specific to Klipper. If you have a general question or are
|
||||
experiencing general printing problems, then you will likely get a
|
||||
better response by asking in a general 3d-printing forum or a forum
|
||||
dedicated to your printer hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
## I have a feature request
|
||||
|
||||
All new features require someone interested and able to implement that
|
||||
feature. If you are interested in helping to implement or test a new
|
||||
feature, you can search for ongoing developments in the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum). There is also
|
||||
[Klipper Discord Chat](#discord-chat) for discussions between
|
||||
collaborators.
|
||||
|
||||
## Help! It doesn't work!
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, we receive many more requests for help than we could
|
||||
possibly answer. Most problem reports we see are eventually tracked
|
||||
down to:
|
||||
1. Subtle errors in the hardware, or
|
||||
2. Not following all the steps described in the Klipper documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are experiencing problems we recommend you carefully read the
|
||||
[Klipper documentation](Overview.md) and double check that all steps
|
||||
were followed.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are experiencing a printing problem, then we recommend
|
||||
carefully inspecting the printer hardware (all joints, wires, screws,
|
||||
etc.) and verify nothing is abnormal. We find most printing problems
|
||||
are not related to the Klipper software. If you do find a problem with
|
||||
the printer hardware then you will likely get a better response by
|
||||
searching in a general 3d-printing forum or in a forum dedicated to
|
||||
your printer hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to search for similar issues in the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum).
|
||||
|
||||
If you are interested in sharing your knowledge and experience with
|
||||
other Klipper users then you can join the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum) or
|
||||
[Klipper Discord Chat](#discord-chat). Both are communities where
|
||||
Klipper users can discuss Klipper with other users.
|
||||
|
||||
## I found a bug in the Klipper software
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper is an open-source project and we appreciate when collaborators
|
||||
diagnose errors in the software.
|
||||
|
||||
Problems should be reported in the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum).
|
||||
|
||||
There is important information that will be needed in order to fix a
|
||||
bug. Please follow these steps:
|
||||
1. Make sure you are running unmodified code from
|
||||
[https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper](https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper).
|
||||
If the code has been modified or is obtained from another source,
|
||||
then you should reproduce the problem on the unmodified code from
|
||||
[https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper](https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper)
|
||||
prior to reporting.
|
||||
2. If possible, run an `M112` command immediately after the
|
||||
undesirable event occurs. This causes Klipper to go into a
|
||||
"shutdown state" and it will cause additional debugging information
|
||||
to be written to the log file.
|
||||
3. Obtain the Klipper log file from the event. The log file has been
|
||||
engineered to answer common questions the Klipper developers have
|
||||
about the software and its environment (software version, hardware
|
||||
type, configuration, event timing, and hundreds of other
|
||||
questions).
|
||||
1. The Klipper log file is located in `/tmp/klippy.log` on the
|
||||
Klipper "host" computer (the Raspberry Pi).
|
||||
2. An "scp" or "sftp" utility is needed to copy this log file to
|
||||
your desktop computer. The "scp" utility comes standard with
|
||||
Linux and MacOS desktops. There are freely available scp
|
||||
utilities for other desktops (eg, WinSCP). If using a graphical
|
||||
scp utility that can not directly copy `/tmp/klippy.log` then
|
||||
repeatedly click on `..` or `parent folder` until you get to the
|
||||
root directory, click on the `tmp` folder, and then select the
|
||||
`klippy.log` file.
|
||||
3. Copy the log file to your desktop so that it can be attached to
|
||||
an issue report.
|
||||
4. Do not modify the log file in any way; do not provide a snippet
|
||||
of the log. Only the full unmodified log file provides the
|
||||
necessary information.
|
||||
5. It is a good idea to compress the log file with zip or gzip.
|
||||
5. Open a new topic on the [Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum)
|
||||
and provide a clear description of the problem. Other Klipper
|
||||
contributors will need to understand what steps were taken, what
|
||||
the desired outcome was, and what outcome actually occurred. The
|
||||
compressed Klipper log file should be attached to that topic.
|
||||
|
||||
## I am making changes that I'd like to include in Klipper
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper is open-source software and we appreciate new contributions.
|
||||
|
||||
New contributions (for both code and documentation) are submitted via
|
||||
Github Pull Requests. See the [CONTRIBUTING document](CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
||||
for important information.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several
|
||||
[documents for developers](Overview.md#developer-documentation). If
|
||||
you have questions on the code then you can also ask in the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum) or on the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Discord](#discord-chat).
|
||||
|
||||
## Klipper github
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper github may be used by contributors to share the status of
|
||||
their work to improve Klipper. It is expected that the person opening
|
||||
a github ticket is actively working on the given task and will be the
|
||||
one performing all the work necessary to accomplish it. The Klipper
|
||||
github is not used for requests, nor to report bugs, nor to ask
|
||||
questions. Use the [Klipper Community Forum](#community-forum) or the
|
||||
[Klipper Community Discord](#discord-chat) instead.
