Mainboards (Patreon)

Dear Patrons,

I'm after some input on mainboard testing. I have some more in stock to make guides on. The boards I have:

- SKR Pro V1.1

- Duet Maestro + LCD

- Wrecklab printhat (Raspberry Pi/Klipper special)

Boards that were supposedly sent but not arrived:

- SKR Mini E3 (Ender 3 drop in replacement with fixed TMC2209)

- SKR Mini DIP (As above but with empty driver sockets)

Question is: what board should I put with each printer?

Some more thoughts/info:

- My Geeetech A10M currently has a busted mainboard.

- The Frankendoodle hasn't had a video in a long time.

- I wouldn't mind changing the Monoprice Mini Delta board to something more moddable, also adding a touch screen. Still interested in making that LIPO powered too.

- I thought about the CR10 Max for the SKR Pro since it can take dual power supplies, but I can't find an LCD big enough to fill the space and the Creality one doesn't appear compatible.

Love to know your thoughts.

Michael

I have one of the first shipment mini e3 drop in boards Michael and I’m hoping for, and waiting for, you to hopefully do a how to install/flash it with a BL touch added. Your reviews have always been honest and with your experience if you’re not happy, I’ll pass on installing it! If you are successful I’m looking forward learning from your video the steps to take to program it. That and maybe a ready to flash file as in your creality BL touch videos. I really like the improvements you made adding a bootloader, faster probing, and better thermal runaway monitoring.

I would love to see a fine tuned Klipper on the Ender 3, also the SKR Pro v1.1

David Lockwood

My vote goes for the Duet Maestro. I've had one for a year and haven't a clue how to implement it. Your videos, while very rapid fire, are my go to source. Perhaps it's the Smoothieboard firmware that's got me?

Richard Boyce

Any 32bit boards should go into resource hungry printers like a Delta or core XY

Nicolas Pottier

Pro on Delta seems like a natural choice. Also I treated on your opinion on this board in general, it is more than the regular SKR but to me it seems about the same once you figure having to use a relay or mosfet for the heatbed, which it seems you wouldn't need on the pro. Support doesn't seem near as good though!

Harry Morris

Great stuff! I'm quite interested in the 3 you already have, especially the duet, and klipper. I don't much care about what machine they are on.

Frey

Due to its small form factor and super low cost, the SKR E3 would be an interesting fit to the mini delta.

Also wondering if the TMC2209s sensorless homing would work for bed levelling the delta, which is a major PITA with this machine

David Spencer

My suggestion would be to go on price and board requirements, as follows: SKR Mini E3 in the Ender 3/Pro as this seems to be what the board seems to be intended for aka widest audience for the video. SKR Mini DIP in the Monoprice Mini Delta would be a good fit, interchangeable with the Mini E3 and you could test to see if different stepper drivers a difference to print quality in a delta. SKR 1.3 ( From the ender 3 ) in the Geeetech A10M making good use of the extra stepper driver. SKR Pro in the enclosed ender 5 Duet Maestro + LCD in CR10 Max since its justified in an expensive printer and has drivers rated to 2A for the big Y axis stepper And finally Wrecklab PrinthHat in the Frankendoodle, because.. why not! 😊

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I appreciate it. I have to space these out a bit lest my channel be only mainboard upgrades.

I would like to see kipper on ender 3 skr 1.3 tmc 2208 full setup guild as that's what I have got lol

Personally I would be interested in seeing a bit of data on the Raspberry Pi/Klipper simply because I know almost nothing about Klipper. Having said that I think David Spencer's list makes a lot of sense and would likely, pretty much in the order presented, provide more value for a wider audience.

Will Bradley

I vote Klipper too, but on Ender 5

Yury Faer

I vote Pro on Delta

Quentin Casares

I vote Klipper. I know little about it and would be very interested to see your approach.

Peter Richards

I'd like to see the CR10-pro, make an external LCD box and use the gap for improved cooling :)

Peter Richards

Whichever board you choose, I'd like to see how to calculate the VREF for 2209 drivers, I don't know if it is the same as for 2208. I bought some 17HS19-2004S1 steppers to replace all my Creality ones, and am unsure what VREF to set.

Michael Bakker

The SKR E3 will be an interesting fit to the Monoprice Mini Delta with touch screen :-)

Damon Rolls

Hi Michael, thank you for the videos teaching about the SKR. I just ordered Big Tree's SKR V1.3 and their new TMC2209 drivers for my Anycubic Kossel. With 2 amps and auto-home/collision detection via uart, I suspect this will be the newest combo to beat for deltas. Considering all that can go wrong, the auto-detect seems possibly worth the effort. I wonder if you might cover installing this combo in a delta, and what challenges or advantages it may present.

Damon Rolls

I also like watching the effort go into that little Monoprice. It's so darned cute.

Hi Damon, I'll definitely be covering a mainboard swap in a delta. I think the Monoprice mini delta will be too small for an SKR V1.3 but it's an option.
