About this app

BeamKlipper turns a spare Android phone into the brain of a Klipper 3D printer. It bundles Klipper, Moonraker and the Fluidd and Mainsail web interfaces, so you plug the printer into the phone over USB OTG and then drive it from a browser on any device on your network.

Everything runs as an ordinary app in user space. Nothing about your Android system is changed, and you can still use the phone as a phone. The phone's own camera can act as the printer webcam, with extra commands for the flashlight, focus and a beeper.

You need a printer already flashed with matching Klipper firmware, a USB OTG cable, and ideally a powered hub so the phone charges while it's connected. The web interface lives on port 8888 rather than the usual port 80, and the support chats are mostly in Russian.
