Inexpensive answer to running Klipper and Learn how to create a multi-Klipper setup
The Inovato Quadra is an inexpensive way to run Klipper on your 3d printer. This is the answer to installing Klipper without a raspberry pi. Not only that, it’s capable of running multiple printers on Klipper! Multiple instances of Klipper. Learn how to setup the quadra, and also how to set up a multi klipper setup that can be used on any device, including a raspberry pi if you already have one!
UPDATE: If you own The Quadra or didn't want upgrade to the PRO model you can still buy a USB hub and wifi adapter separately. These are the products I used on my additional Quadras:
Wifi adapter (plug and play no drivers were needed for me):

11/11/22 EDIT -- We have an operational webcam!! That means not only can you run multi printers but you can also watch them print! I used the add-on CrowsNest to get this to work. Check my website for the CrowsNest article where I go over this or my YouTube video: • Add a camera to your 3d Printer!
