Klipperaware

Klipperaware is an open-source ecosystem and project that aims to extend and improve the Klipper firmware used on many hobbyist and professional 3D printers. It coordinates a collection of plugins, scripts, and configuration approaches designed to enhance calibration, reliability, and user experience while remaining compatible with Klipper’s core architecture.

Origins and governance: The project began as a loose collection of community macros and tools and later matured into a coordinated repository with defined maintainers. It operates independently of the official Klipper project but seeks interoperability with standard Klipper configurations, emphasizing non-disruptive integration and backward compatibility.

Features: Klipperaware provides a plugin framework that supports modules for automated bed leveling, thermal management, mesh probing, dynamic motion optimization, and print profiling. It also offers standardized macros, centralized logging, diagnostic tools, and user interfaces that streamline setup and monitoring while preserving the core Klipper workflow.

Impact and reception: The ecosystem is widely used by hobbyists and service providers who value extended calibration workflows and richer diagnostics. Because it is community-driven, release cadence and compatibility can vary, and users are encouraged to review change notes when upgrading. It complements rather than replaces official Klipper features.
