Connect Creality K2 Plus (runs on Klipper) to repetier

Hi, 
I have a Creality K2 Plus and want to connect it to repetier. 
Connection via USB Port is not working. I connected the printer to LAN now and want to integrate the printer that way. 

I am a newbie regarding network stuff and would love to get some help:D 
So I am already able to connect to the webinterface. The web interface is fluidd.
There I saw, that my printer runs on Klipper. Does anybody know how to connect the printer to repetier? This wholer klipper software is very confusing to me. 

Thanks in advance
Jake

    At the moment we can only connect to klipper serial port/api port directly. What you have is klipper with moonraker providing network connection which is different. Support for this is planned but not implemented yet.

    Thank you for the fast response!
    Can you think of another possibility on how i can connect my K2 Plus to repetier?

    You would need a lot of linux knowledge to do this. You could add a serial to tcp forwarder to the K2, but I can con say how this should be done and also not sure it would be a solution that is stable enough. Better wait for the moonraker connector so it works out of the box.

    Okay, thank you. What do you think how long does your development for moonraker connector roughly take? Few months or rather something for next year?
  • RepetierRepetier
    A few month is realistic. Once bambu connector which we are working on works, most required changes are already included so new connectors should be quicker to implement.
