So...Chris....you keep talking about why its important to go over hook up even though you've done it before. That was the part of this video most important to me. When I realized they had changed the hook ups (removing the fan screw in), I was like...wth? Opened the instructions which referred to one hook up as hb, which I had no idea what that meant and they didn't define it. I hooked it up, thinking maybe it meant heated bed, but I wasn't sure. Your video helped me VERY much by confirming where that fan went and what needed to be in the screw down plugs. Also, I had all my fans hooked up in the wrong place. LOL Thanks for taking the time to go over hook up again. That is what I needed to see. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Done the same thing on two different printers and boards. Connect a fuse on one of the cables. This way you should have no problems with blown boards. If you're lucky it´s only the heater circuit and/or thermistor circuit that´s blown, but the rest can work. Using klipper you can add the board as a auxiliary board, to run more steppers, more controlled fans, etc, etc.

Great video as always Chris! I just got this board to replace the v2.0 (my USB port broke off). I had some pre-wired JSTs that I could solder to the fan wires, and discovered that there are two standards for polarity with JSTs. There is the original RC standard which is opposite to this board, and there is also, for lack of a better word, Arduino standard, which is correct. Just wanted to mention for folks that get pre-wired JST plugs.

I had replaced the orginial hot end and both heater block and thermistor, still got the error a few times. Installed this E3 V3 board and 1st print was very nice with stock firmware. It must have been that thermistor circuit on the board, in case anyone has this issue. I can see no problems on the old boeard.

Chris, great video as usual. I am just in process of upgrading my Ender 3 Max, trying to improve first layer printing. I got a second Z screw and motor and wanted to add G34 gantry levelling. The SKR Mini E3 V3.0, looked like a great update so I did the two upgrades at the same time. Counting Driver output sockets instead of driver chips when the board makes the Z outputs link to the same driver! OOPS! my bad should have been more careful. Ender 3 MAX has 2 part cooling fans and the V4.2.2 board has 2 input connectors. Confusing, but worked it out. BTT diagrams, I downloaded all the docs from Github as usual, on the wiring diagram illustration the 3 hard wired ports DC In, HB and HE0 are all marked grey and green. HEADS UP! DC IN + and - are colour coded reversed against the other 2 inputs. Not complaining to you, but hope this may help someone else. Thanks for all your work.

Strange, if the wiring is correct and it doesn't come on when you run a M106 S255 then it has to be something wrong with the board.

I was beginning to think so myself until I compared the pinout on the V3 board Vs those published on their site and the firmware. Turns out on the pin diagrams, the pins are listed as : HB - PC6 E0 - PC9 Fan2 - PB15 Fan0 - PC7 Fan1 - PC0 Whereas the firmware defines them as #define HEATER_0_PIN PC8 // "HE" #define HEATER_BED_PIN PC9 // "HB" #define FAN_PIN PC6 // "FAN0" #define FAN1_PIN PC7 // "FAN1" #define FAN2_PIN PB15 // "FAN2"

As a person new to your channel, and new to replacing main boards, I'm glad that you took the time to explain the details, like using ferrules, the need to add a JST for the parts fan, typically fan 0 is for parts cooling, etc. Remember, nothing is old to us new guys! Again, thank you for taking the time to mention all of the little details which helps when researching board swaps. I am just a little confused about "no firmware" available. You say that they offer stock .BIN files on their GITHUB site, but I am not sure if I need to load these .BIN files or if they come preinstalled. Can you confirm what I would need to do to run standard Marlin, no BL touch.

I know for many older boards, using Octoprint, if you tried to print too fast (more than 50 mm/s), you could incur some defects from the board's UART unable to keep up. (There' a few threads about this on the Octoprint forum) Thanks! Looking forward to receiving mine!

Hey man love your vids! I was wondering if you have any tips in regards to custom builds using this board? I have been able to compille a firmware version but I am having issues in finding how to setup the current limit? As I am going to use different steppers than the standard Creality ones. Thank you so much for your work!

@ChrisRiley Жыл бұрын

Thanks! You would have to get the motor specs from where you bought them. The most common NEMA 17 motors, 800mAh is usually more than enough. I would start low and increase the current slowly until they stop skipping. If the motors get too hot, then the current is too high.

Hello Chris, this video was really amazing and I am trying to get into 3D printing myself can you make a much more in depth installation tutorial from basically a completely new ender 3 as I am going to buy one in the future and I think a few steps were skipped especially with locating where to install it and using the ferrule kit and doing the JST connectors. Thanks!

@kentclemmerson7218 2 жыл бұрын

1. JST connectors are difficult when you are learning for the first time. A couple of ways to go on that. This is a great video explaining how to do JST connectors. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ia2npcmj2Z6veqs.html You can go with a ratcheting crimper or a simple hand crimper (imo, ratching is easier but both work) 2. Ferrule connectors. simple rule. snip off the soldered dipped wire and strip new wire lead. crimp use the smallest size ferrule that works for each wire. Amazon, Ebay, etc. all have kits for ferrule and jst. a cheap kit for the hobbyist should be fine. Here's a link to the E3 V3 manual github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/blob/master/hardware/BTT%20SKR%20MINI%20E3%20V3.0/Hardware/BTT%20SKR%20MINI%20E3%20V3.0%20user%20manual.pdf And, if you wish to use the ender 3v2 stock lcd, marlin has updates now for the LCD, so you should be able to use it with the BTT board (assuming you make a custom cable for pins to line-up and are willing to compile Marlin yourself)

in the ender 3 pro in the green sockets there is a fan, the first 2 negative and positive, you don't say the cables where they are placed, and by the way, what fan is it? and on the board that you show there are only 2 connections for the bed and the hotend.

@ChrisRiley Жыл бұрын

Check the pinout for polarity. Fan0 is the part fan, fan 1 or 2 can be the hotend fan or controller fan. github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/tree/master/hardware/BTT%20SKR%20MINI%20E3%20V3.0/Hardware

I'm guessing you will have to update some of the setting in the firmware for the ender 5 as the board defaults to an ender 3. You can update some of these commands in eeprom so you don't have to flash new firmware if you use a tool like pronterface. www.pronterface.com/

Hey Chris, I need some help please getting the mini 3v3 to turn on. My first mini v3 I thought was fried cause when I plugged it into my computer no lights would come on nor comms link. So I bought a mini v2 and v3 just to test. Now the v2 will light up and establish a comms link when plugged into the computer but the new v3 still won't light up nor open a comms link... What's the odds that 2 mini 3 v3 are fried? Am I doing something wrong? Or does it require a power 12/24v power supply to come on? Mike

@ChrisRiley 2 жыл бұрын

You have to switch the VCC USB jumper to get them to light up via USB. It's a red jumper, if you can't find it I will get you a pic.

Just wanted to say thanks for this video and review. As I'm in the situation that I have the SKR Mini E3 v2 and SKR v1.4 Turbo right now configured pretty well on my Ender 3 and Ender 5 Pro, I'd like to change out both printers to this board but then I also saw your other review on the SKR 2... I'm kinda torn on which boards to get from your reviews. Either the SKR Mini E3 v3.0 or the SKR 2? Out of the two which one would you go for? I already have the 2209's from the SKR 1.4 Turbo, but because each of these new boards have all three fans for PWM, it's like which one to get??

@ChrisRiley 2 жыл бұрын

@ChrisRiley 3 ай бұрын

I don't know the CR5 well, but it really comes down to what plugs you need. The mini is a fine board, but you have only 4 drivers, so Z has to share. Also, it depends on what kind of screen you have, remember, the mini is meant for the ender 3 and can work on the old school CR10 with some code changes. The EZ is going to be more universal, but a lot larger.
