Changing the Hostname

If you have more than one 3D printer and plan on running Klipper on them all, I would recommend that each instance have their own unique 'hostname'. You can change the 'hostname' to whatever you want, for this example I will change the default hostname from 'mainsailos' to 'mainsailos2'.

The hostname is important in the even your IP address changes (DHCP lease time expires) and you want to ping the hostname like in the section.

  • From the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool menu;

    • Select System Options and press Enter;

    Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool menus.

  • Select S4 Hostname and press Enter;

  • Read the message displayed advising which parameters are acceptable for a 'hostname';

    • Select OK to continue;

  • At the 'Please enter a hostname' screen;

    • Enter the name you want for your hostname eg. mainsailos2

    • Select Ok to continue;

The new 'hostname' will not update until you reboot the Raspberry Pi, you can do this after all of the changes have been made.

After clicking <Ok> above, it should return you to the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool main menu. If it closes the Configuration Tool, type sudo raspi-config and when prompted enter your new password.
