Not for pressure advance or bed meshing
Klipper can't do a bed mesh if the printer doesn't have a probe.
Manual bed leveling means using a sheet of paper and adjusting bed screws to get it at the right height.
Exactly, and neither of those are an accelerometer like the other user claimed is required
He's using the wrong words. No printer has an accelerometer.
Automatic bed leveling requires a printer support it. Klipper can't do it if the hardware isn't there. Same with flow rate calibration. Manual in Klipper requires test prints and then editing the config files. Flow rate on modern printers is calibrated automatically using the camera.
Of course they do, mine has one from the manufacturer (Qidi Xmax3) and I added one to my old bedslinger from anycubic. It is extremely common today that printers come with accelerometers built in to the toolhead board. Basically every consumer coreXY printer on the market today has this and I bet many bedslingers have them too.
