SV06 Printer Systems Integration

Converted a Sovol SV06 from stock Marlin firmware into a Klipper-based prototyping system hosted on a Raspberry Pi 400.

Overview

Upgraded my Sovol SV06 from its old Marlin firmware to a new Klipper-based system hosted on a Raspberry Pi 400 and set up a browser-based control interface using Mainsail and Moonraker for remote printer management.

Impact

Previously, the printer only accepted SD cards for print files, but with a network-controlled printer, prints can be started, calibrated, and viewed from anywhere in the world,
