## What it is
A collection of useful macros for the Klipper 3D printer firmware, providing enhanced g-code functionality like layer triggers, dynamic heater/fan scaling, and optimized bed mesh leveling. It is a community-maintained macro set intended to be included in a Klipper printer configuration.

## Use cases
- schedule g-code commands at specific heights or layer changes during a print
- dynamically adjust fan and heater settings on a live 3D print
- optimize bed mesh leveling to probe only the printed area
- add automated purge lines before a print starts
- improve Klipper compatibility with Marlin-targeted slicer g-code
- customize the Klipper LCD menu with confirmation dialogs and material presets

## When to choose
- you run Klipper firmware and want a well-tested set of quality-of-life macros
- you want layer-based print pausing that avoids marring external perimeters
- you need faster bed mesh leveling on small prints
- you want a cleaner, more customizable LCD menu experience

## When to avoid
- you are a complete Klipper beginner not yet comfortable with a basic config
- you already use other macro packs with overlapping functionality, risking monkey-patch conflicts
- your printer config lacks the required heater_bed and extruder sections
- you use an unusual or heavily customized Klipper setup
