Common failures documentation

While writing the new documentation for 3dchameleon-klipper, I realized that many of the loading/unloading failure solutions were applicable even without 3dchameleon-klipper. If anyone is having unloading or loading issues, this could be helpful. The "What the error means" and "How to recover it" sections are specific to 3dchameleon-klipper, but most of the "Why it failed" sections can be used without it. Here are the links:

Unload failed: https://3dcoded.github.io/3dchameleon-klipper/troubleshooting/unloadfailed/

Load failed: https://3dcoded.github.io/3dchameleon-klipper/troubleshooting/loadfailed/

If anyone has other tips they would like to put on the documentation, you can:

I hope this is helpful!

What model of 3D Printer are you running Klipper on? I've got an Ender 3 v2, heavily modified and am running the Mriscoc professional firmware on it. But I've heard good things about Klipper. Since I do have a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint, I've been thinking I might give Klipper a try. Any recommendations on getting started with Klipper?

I have a Prusa MK3S+ Bear. There's already a good config for the Ender 3 v2 for Klipper: https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/printer-creality-ender3-v2-2020.cfg. The Klipper documentation and some YouTube videos were enough for me to get started with it. One thing I would be cautious about is that webcams on weaker Raspberry Pi's (zero and 3) can cause Klipper to crash. Also, be careful of dying SD Cards. Besides that, Klipper's been great so far. I would recommend getting a FYSETC Portable Input Shaper or a KUSBA accelerometer to calibrate input shaper for speed.

I've got a Pi 4 running a USB camera right now, so should be good with that. Thanks for the info, will give it a go here soon after I get 3D Chameleon working with my current setup.
