The 3D printing notebook, kept public
More than eight years of guides, fixes, working configs, pinouts and hard-won recommendations from running Voron, Klipper and Bambu machines as well as Tronxy, Biqu, Prusa, Anycubic and Qidi printers, gathered from one repository into one searchable site.
- Configs from machines that really ran them
- Kit that was bought and used
- Free and open source under GPL-3.0
Where to start
Pick the situation you are in and follow the trail.
A print just failed
Clogs, layer shifts, poor adhesion and wet filament, roughly in the order worth checking.
Bambu AMS trouble
Feeding failures, a slot flashing red and a stuck cutter.
Getting Klipper running
From a blank SD card to a printer that answers in Mainsail.

Why this exists
Voron and Klipper reward tinkering but the knowledge is scattered: a pinout on one forum, a drying temperature on another, the macro you need buried in a Discord thread from years ago.
So this repository is a working notebook, kept public. The configs are the ones that ran on real machines; the recommendations are things actually bought and used; the guides are the write-ups worth finding the first time. If it saves you an evening of searching, it has done its job.
Questions
Who is this for?
Anyone running or building a Voron, a Klipper printer or a Bambu machine, from first setup through tuning and troubleshooting. Much of it is Voron-focused but the guides on drying, adhesion, slicers and clogs apply to any FDM printer.
Are the printer configs safe to copy?
They are real configs shared as reference. Never flash another machine's config wholesale: treat them as a guide, match them to your own hardware and pins, then test carefully.
How do I use the bookmarks?
Browse and filter them in the bookmark explorer. To take them with you, download the export and import it through your browser's bookmark manager.
Is it free?
Yes. The repository and this site are free and open source under the GNU GPL-3.0 licence. A coffee donation is welcome but entirely optional.
Can I suggest additions?
It is a personal knowledge base, so it reflects its author's own printers and experience. Open an issue on the repository if something is out of date or you know a resource worth adding.
