Acknowledgements
I would like to list everyone that has inspired me in one shape or form over this journey, both from a negative and positive standpoint. After all masochistic bullies deserve credit too.
Negative Influences:
Rat’s Nest OS / Mikkel Schmidt – Mikkel I would like to thank you for showing the world how NOT be treat others and how NOT to create an OS. From using an old 32 Bit OS, to all your bug-ridden additions that constantly take everyone’s printers offline. A GitHub that does not build and a product that makes it even harder for new users to get into Klipper. From your masochistic attacks on people who don’t agree with you to you trying to take over and own everyone’s printers. Thank you for showing me how NOT to be a human being.

Positive Influences:
BRS Engineering / Florent Broise: For all your patience and the time you take to teach me things. You truly make the world a better place and we need many more people like you.
Wentz Dynamics / Keegan Wentz: For all the time you take taking our ideas and seeing if they can be produced in the real world. No matter how extreme our concepts are. In many ways, you are most certainly a visionary.
Advanced 3D Printing / Rob Luciana: You have taken it upon yourself to help educate the community and make it possible for all of us to understand not only how but the why behind all our printer optimizations. With your help, I have achieved results with my first CoreXY printer I never thought possible.
The VzBot Project / Simon Vez: You have created one of the most positive communities in the realm of 3D printing. You are one of the first people I noticed that not only wanted to achieve speeds with your printer design but quality prints mattered. With everything in our world today you always stay extremely positive. Thank you Simon for all the support, guidance, and kind words you have shared with me.
Jérôme Wiedemann: I would like to send a special thank you to you. You were the first person to allow us to merge one of your brainchild designs into our echo system. I know you twitched when I changed a lot of it, but you stayed extremely positive. I look forward to sharing many more conversations and ideas with you. Even if we don’t 100% share the same position on Open Source, you have my respect and admiration. Thank you Jérôme.
The Klipper Project / Kevin O’Connor: There is no way to put into words the gratitude every printer owner has for you. You have developed an echo system like no other. You have made all our lives better and most certainly contribute to our quality of life. Somehow thank you just does not seem enough, but truly THANK YOU!
The Moonraker Project: Many people truly do not know that this project is truly the backbone of everything. Without your work we would not be able to write applications that interface with Klipper. You are like the New York Building Doorman, without you we would all be lost.
