What's new for Calilantern Mk2?
Calilantern now uses the full Web UI to match the ease of use Califlower Mk2 and added features that come with that such as:
- Instruction filters for Firmware and Slicer to only see what's important to you.
- Rotatable animated 3D view to help with calliper positioning.
- Results charts for clear and easy to understand results.
- Easy Copy-Paste commands for simple correction
To improve compatibility with more users we added compatibility for two new Klipper firmware variants; RatOS and CrealityOS, plus Bambu Firmware skew support, as well as adding Creality Print and Bambu Studio to the available slicers.
We also made some small adjustments to the STL as well as adding size specific models for larger sizes to improve print time and material efficiency.

- Skew correction on all three planes, XY, ZX and ZY.
- Iterative skew and size calibration for improving accuracy with repeated prints.
These features may sound small, but they can make a huge different to those looking for reliable and accurate prints, especially on a larger scale.

So I came across this while calibrating my Trident and ... not gonna lie, my first thought was "k, I'm off to printables.com to find a free model" because I felt like $14 was a lot for this. I WAS SO WRONG. This is not about the model but the luxury of being shown what to measure, how to measure, and having ALL calculations made for you. I love this tool!
I really hope the offline version becomes available as well because I prefer having stuff backed up and not relying on 3rd-party hosting.
This is such a clever and useful tool. I calibrated Prusa 3.5 for Esun PLA+ and came up witha .44% adjustment factor which means my prints now measure within 0.1 mm every time. Perfect!
I bought mk1, and now that the mk2 is no longer a subscription based I do see this as a clear improvement and would reconmend this.
In terms of improvements, I wish there were more calibration modles such as retraction and speed stuff. Though I wouldn't know how that would be implemented for Bambu Lab studios. (Orca Slicer doesn't work for my p2s currently).
Helped out quite a bit. I am glad I found Stefan's video. Keep up the good work!
i bought this when my printer was down now i want to use it and can"t download file.
great quick help from staff user error on my part very important to follow instructions
