What is it?

This is a fully configured, plug-and-play 3D printer host server. It is built on a repurposed X96 Mini (Amlogic S905W quad-core processor) running a custom-compiled Armbian Linux. It comes pre-installed with Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail, and Fluidd, making it a powerful and cost-effective drop-in replacement for a Raspberry Pi.

Why did you make it?

As an embedded engineer, I noticed many 3D printing enthusiasts struggling with the high costs and availability of Raspberry Pis just to run Klipper. TV boxes like the X96 Mini have excellent hardware but are often wasted on poorly optimized stock Android systems. I wanted to rescue this hardware, refine the device trees for stable WiFi/networking, and provide an affordable, highly reliable Klipper solution for the maker community.

What makes it special?

Unlike standard mass-produced TV boxes, this unit is professionally flashed, configured, and tested by an engineer. True Plug & Play: Simply connect it to your printer and network. Optimized Stability: Custom kernel adjustments ensure the WiFi and USB serial connections do not drop during long prints. What's included: 1x S905W Klipper Host Box. (Please note: Power supply and USB cables are NOT included to keep costs low and reduce e-waste—you can use standard 5V/2A adapters).*
