Octoeverywhere Companion¶
Octoeverywhere cannot be installed onto the K1 when running the Cartographer, beacon or btt eddy, the stress placed on the system by running octoeverywhere is too great, however the octoeverywhere companion running on another device on the same WIFI network as the K1 works great.

Moonraker Timelapse¶
Moonraker timelapse is installed but not enabled by default. To enable it there are a few steps, you need to add the following include to printer.cfg:
And uncomment the [include timelapse.conf] in moonraker.conf, you will need to restart moonraker and klipper after this, you can do that via the fluidd or mainsail services section.
If you see these messages:
It means you have not as yet properly restarted moonraker and/or klipper. If in doubt just power cycle your machine.Timelapse Camera config¶
Info
Because the single webcam is controlled via moonraker with the webcam.conf file, the Timelapse camera dropdown menu won't let you choose a camera, this is expected.
Slicer Changes¶
Spoolman¶
Spoolman moonraker integration is not enabled by default. To enable it there are a few steps, you need to add the following include to printer.cfg:
And uncomment the [include spoolman.conf] in moonraker.conf, you will need to change the server url to your spoolman server location.
You will need to restart moonraker and klipper after this, you can do that via the fluidd or mainsail services section.
Configuring Timezone¶
The /etc/init.d/S58factoryreset has recently been updated not to delete the /etc/localtime, so you can configure it once and it should survive any number of factory resets, following the excellent guide here:

Emergency Factory Reset¶
If the worst happens and you somehow get locked out (for instance for whatever reason the dropbear ssh session does not start or wifi config gets all screwy, it is possible to trigger a emergency factory reset.
It is very easy, you just need to create a empty file called emergency_factory_reset on a USB key and make sure the USB key is plugged in, then power cycle the printer, this will initiate a factory reset.
Tip
If you are having trouble creating a file like this in windows, the easiest way is to download the emergency_factory_reset.zip and extract it onto your usb thumb drive.
Info
This factory reset method will rename the emergency_factory_reset to emergency_factory_reset.old to avoid a boot loop, so if you need to use this method again you will need to rename the file.
This factory reset method will not remove the special service file /etc/init.d/S58factoryreset from the k1, so if you need it you can redo a factory reset even before reinstalling.
This method does not reset wifi or root access
Danger
It can take up to 5 minutes for a factory restart to finish, it is vital you do not power cycle your printer before the stock screen appears. There may be a 3002 error on the screen, this is completely normal. If you are planning to install Simple AF you can ignore it, if you are trying to go back to stock, power cycle the printer again to clear the error.
Failing to follow this advice can lead to your printer getting bricked and requiring much more involved intervention to recover!
Grumpyscreen Factory Reset¶
It is also possible to initiate a factory reset from the settings menu (the cog) of Grumpyscreen.
