KlipperView Micro

A crazy harebrained idea to make a Ubiquiti-style screen for my 3D printer.

KlipperView Micro is a compact, Flutter-based UI designed to serve as a simplified KlipperScreen for your Klipper-powered 3D printer. Inspired by the sleek aesthetics of Ubiquiti devices, this project aims to deliver a clean, snappy, and modern interface— running on something like a Raspberry Pi using flutter-pi.

🚀 Goals

• A beautiful minimal interface for Klipper printer status and basic controls.
• Touchscreen-optimized UI, designed for a smartwatch-style AMOLED screen (~2 inches), but there's no reason you cant run it on something larger.
• Lightweight, responsive, and gesture-friendly.
• Runs on bare metal via flutter-pi (eventually...).

📦 Project Status

This project is under early development. Expect broken features, weird ideas, and strange detours.

✅ What's Working

• Connection to Moonraker via JSON-RPC
• Live CPU and RAM usage charts
• Temperature readings for tool head and bed
• File list display with "Start Print" functionality
• Basic print controls (Stop, Pause, Cancel)
• Live print progress and ETA with boarder animation as a progress indicator

🐞 Known Problems

• Not optimized in the slightest
• No persistent reconnect logic if connection drops
• Limited error handling for bad or unexpected API responses
• Gesture handling is still experimental and may be glitchy
• UI scaling may be inconsistent across screen sizes
• Progress indicator is janky and NOT smooth at all

🌱 Future Features / New Ideas

• Palm entire screen for emergency stop
• Print thumbnail showing on status screen
• Touch-friendly jog and move controls (sort of working but ui overflows the screen)
• Better reconnect and offline handling
• Deployable bundle for flutter-pi
• Installer script or prebuilt image for Raspberry Pi/BTT CB2

❓ FAQ

Does this actually work?

Technically, yes. It connects to the printer via the moonraker api and has some functionality. It’s a work in progress — check back soon-ish.

What platform does it run on?

Ideally: a Raspberry Pi running flutter-pi.
It also runs fine on desktop or mobile for development and testing, or even as an app interface on your phone.

Do you have compiled versions for me to try?

Haha... no 🙃

How do I run it?

You'll have to figure that out!
Check out the Flutter docs for instructions on installing and building for different platforms.
This whole thing has been a learning experience for me, and... I’m still learning.
