Printer Farm · for K2 Plus and Klipper owners · open beta · free 14-day trial · no card

Your K2 Plus fleet, run as a farm

K2 Plus machines — and anything else running Klipper and Moonraker — on one dashboard: live status, the camera, chamber temperatures, CFS spools, a queue that sends each job to the first free printer with the right filament and waits for you to clear the bed. Orders in from your shop, delivery notes out. Built on a shop that runs three of them every day.

The demo is a real farm — eight printers printing day and night, every page open, read-only. Your own farm is live in about a minute with an Ask The Nozzle account.

What you get

Printer Farm with K2 Plus and any Klipper / Moonraker printer

Found and connected with nothing to configure

A stock K2 Plus needs no API key: the agent finds it on your network, the farm talks Moonraker on port 7125, the camera is picked up through the K2 bridge.

The queue, the pool and the bed-clear gate

Queue to the pool and the first free K2 with the right filament loaded takes the job; a file sliced for a 0.6 nozzle waits for a printer with one. Nothing starts on an occupied bed.

Klipper controls where you need them

A Fluidd-style move panel, your macros, the console, the light switch, chamber heating and CFS spool tracking that survives the printer's own counters being reset.

Maintenance that learns

The K2's own service items are mirrored with ✓ I did this logging an event, and the farm learns real intervals from your fleet — belt tension, lubrication, nozzle changes.

How it connects

Three steps, and your Creality K2 Plus printers are on the dashboard

One small agent bridges your workshop to the cloud. Your files stay with you; the cloud is the dashboard.

Install the farm agent

A small program on a Windows or Linux computer that stays on, on the same network as the printers. One outbound connection, no router changes.

Scan for printers

The agent scans the network and lists each Moonraker printer by hostname; pick a K2 Plus and the address is filled in. A stock K2 needs no key — root access is not required.

Add the rest of the fleet the same way

Any Klipper printer (Qidi, Voron, Sovol, a Pi on a bedslinger) is the same type; Moonraker's optional API key goes in one field if yours asks for one.

Good to know

Honest notes for Creality K2 Plus owners

A revision sliced for Klipper can be queued onto any G-code printer in the fleet, but a K2 Plus file is not a Qidi file: the pool matches the sliced-for model and the nozzle, and says why when it can't.
Chamber heating, the CFS and the K2's maintenance counters are all handled; the belt-tension and input-shaper routines can be scheduled to run when a printer is idle with a clear bed.

Common questions

Do I need root on the K2 Plus?

No. A stock K2 Plus answers Moonraker on port 7125 with no key. Root is only for people who want to run their own Klipper macros or the k2-improvements changes, and the farm works either way.

Which other Klipper printers work?

Any printer with Moonraker: Qidi Max 4 and Plus 4, Vorons, Sovol, Creality's other Klipper machines, a Raspberry Pi running Klipper on an older printer. They sit in the same pool as the K2s.

Does it track CFS spools?

Yes — what is loaded in each slot, what the job needs, and the remaining weight, counted from the farm's own print record so it survives the printer's counters being wiped by an update.
