What is Mainsail?
Mainsail is a web interface for printers running Klipper. It provides a control surface for monitoring progress, organizing files and using printer macros. This is the operational part of the workflow after slicing; it relies on a configured Klipper and Moonraker environment.

Understand the tradeoffs.
A dashboard does not validate the underlying machine configuration. Follow the documented setup and access guidance for your installation.
Common questions

No. Mainsail is the browser interface; Klipper and Moonraker provide the underlying printer-control services.
