MovingToNewKlipperImage

Moving to a new klipper image on the same raspi is not hard, but nit-picky!

  • on original
    • backup (git!!!) all the .cfg files
    • backup the data.mdb file
    • backup any tweaks (power-down pins, etc) from /boot/config.txt
    • backup anything you care about in the gcode or timelapse directories
  • build a new klipper image with raspi imager
  • install the sd card into raspi
  • copy the original configuration directory "~/printer_data/config" to "~/config.new"
  • copy all backup files from original configuration files to ..../config
  • create symlinks for mainsail.cfg and timelapse.cfg, duplicating the ones in config.new
  • delete printer_data/database/lock.mdb
  • copy data.mdb to pritner_data/database
  • tweak config.txt

THEN PRAY AND REBOOT
