Camera Settings Control

Camera Settings Control allows you to configure settings like Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, etc... with macros.
It can be configured automatically with Easy Installer or with Printer Setup Wizard from KlipperScreen or Web interface (
see Update and Configure Printer section) but if you need to configure it manually follow these steps.

  • Open config.cfg file:

    • On Mainsail Web Interface go to MACHINE tab on the left side.
    • On Fluidd Web Interface go to Configuration icon on the left side.

  • Remove the first # symbol at the following line:

    config.cfg
    #######################################################
# Camera Settings Configuration
#######################################################

# If you want to control Camera settings -> Enable 'camera-control.cfg'
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------

#[include Configurations/camera-control.cfg]

  • Click on SAVE & RESTART at the top right to save the file.

  • You can now control camera settings with macros:

    Mainsail Fluidd
    • CAM SETTINGS → Displays the current camera settings in the console
    • CAM RESTORE SETTINGS → Restores the camera to default settings
