It only bloody works

First test print. No calibration or belt tightening or anything. Manual bed levelling; I am delighted with these results frankly.

The printer is running on Klipper firmware. There’s a Raspberry Pi3 running Octopi and Klippy and the MCU part is a MKS Gen 1.4 with DRV8825 stepper drivers.

Printer is pretty quiet and moves smoothly. Now I know it basically “works” I plan to sort out the wiring properly.

I also think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get a new bed. The MK2a I bought was the cheapest of the cheap and is only 2mm thick and it bends & warps like nobody’s businesses. Think I’ll go for a decent ali plate and a silicon heater pad.

Sorry about the rubbish quality and jerky hand movements in the video.

@David_Sherwood Nope. I used the RAMPS example config for that and all worked pretty much first time. I had to play with the direction for the CoreXY movements but otherwise all worked out-of-the-box.
