CR-30 (Klipper modded)¶
A belt printer (Creality CR-30 / "CR-30 PrintMill") converted to Klipper. Standard NFC-daemon integration; nothing belt-specific in the NFC layer.
| Base | Creality CR-30 ("PrintMill") |
| Host (reference) | Recore A8 — any Klipper-capable controller works (RPi, BTT-equivalent, etc.) |
| NFC reader | PN532 on USB-UART |
| NFC mode | single |
| Frontend | Mainsail (vanilla) |
What's interesting here¶
A belt printer has very different kinematics from a Voron, but the
NFC stack doesn't care. The daemon writes the same
save_variables keys, the print-start macro reads them the same way,
the prompt dialog (if you opt into multi_tool for some reason) works
the same.
The slicer's belt-specific start gcode does need adapting — but that's outside this site's scope.
Configuration shape¶
Same as the Trident. Verify the PN532's
/dev/ttyUSB* index matches what's actually enumerated:
Then point pn532_device at the by-id symlink so power-cycle
re-enumeration doesn't break it:
Same pattern recommended on every printer in the fleet — /dev/ttyUSB0
is fragile when multiple USB serial devices are on the bus.
Why it's in the docs¶
It's a non-Voron, non-Klipper-default mechanical platform that demonstrates: once you have Klipper + Moonraker + a PN532, the NFC flow is exactly the same regardless of the printer mechanism.
