NOTE: The Ender 5 Plus requires a new display (at this time) to upgrade to this board. Please see my other Ender 5 Plus videos using Bigtreetech boards. ALSO NOTE: There are many reports of people having problems using this board with the stock BLTouch on the Ender 5 Plus. It does not happen to everyone. It did not happen when I tested it myself. The only known POTENTIAL fixes are switching to a CRTouch, switching to Klipper, or there has been a case of just needing to update the touchscreen firmware to the latest. With that being said, I CANNOT and DO NOT recommend this board on the Ender 5 Plus at this time. There are too many people having these issues and, while I've improved it in my latest 2.1.1 firmware, I have not been able to provide a fix for this issue. So far it appears to be an electrical issue that software has not been able to work around.

@jacoblharrisАй бұрын
Thank you for providing the compiled firmware. I had trouble with my ender 5 pro and the skr mini e3, I almost gave up on it and bought a creality board. I thought my prints were being underextruded but my problem was the Z screw on my old ender 5 pro is different from the newer ones. My lead screw had 4 starts and the provided firmware was built for a printer with the updated 2 start lead screw. Change your steps/mm for the Z axis from 800 to 400 and you'll be printing normally or change the lead screw to the new design.

@@twiztid664 I had the 4.2.2 board originally as well. Do it. Totally worth it. Stil been running strong zero issues. But it's not a simple plug and play. The only things that sucked is that for my CR touch I had to swap two of the wires in the JST connector for it to work on the board. Wasn't hard at all super easy but figuring out why it wasn't working was a pain at first but there's a really good guide online that explains all the pinouts on the board for you. Just had to look up which color wires were what on my cr touch. Same thing would go for ther BL touch as well. And ontop of that the firmware that came out for the SKR mini v3 at the time just wasn't working right. So I had to compile my own firmware which again wasn't hard but annoying as hell. After those 2 things though it's been flawless. Beautiful prints and my printer is insanely quiet now. Worth every penny. Again these issues were when it first came out so I'm sure the current firmware is all fixed and you won't need to compile your own anymore. Overall I'd recommend it over the 4.2.2 board for sure. And the mini v3 price is good.

Kris, I had a follow up comment. First, my Ender 5 Plus is stock as it ships with just the BL Touch auto bed leveling feature factory installed. I haven't modified it in any way other than replacing the stock main board with the Creality silent version board. And that leads to my experience with those silent boards. I installed both that later failed. They both worked flawlessly initially. The first worked for a couple months, and it successfully completed dozens of prints, and it failed appearing to be a problem with homing and seemed to be a problem with the BL Touch, but ended up actually being the silent board that had failed. The second one only worked for a couple weeks, and just failed today with the z-drive crapping out. The z steppers check out okay, so the growling and slow attempts at motion are surely caused by the driver failing. I attempted to adjust the stepper operating voltage, but that didn't solve the problem, thus I ordered the BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 and am here asking for your help.
@kerseyfabs2 жыл бұрын
I replied to the emails you sent. I'll do my best to answer your questions. The BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 is a drop-in replacement and firmware installation should be easy. The only thing that is extra is that I don't support the stock display with my firmware. There are several technical reasons for this but, bottom line, it's not supported. So you will have to replace the display with one like the BTT TFT35. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I disagree with the statement that tinned wires are a hazard. If tinning was a bad thing, every solder joint in you system would be at risk. However, I do agree in using Ferrule connectors as it bundles up all the strands into a cold weld and allows that to pass as one into the the connectors for power. You don't have to worry about straggler wires that can cause shorts and decrease the surface area in which electrons flow. Tinned wires are not a issue, and are used in high power systems as well as low voltage high amperage, mostly in corrosive environments.

The worry usually comes from crushing the tinned ends and them possibly arching over time. At least that's my understanding.

You are right when you say that the balance between the components of a 3D printer is key and so a higher speed ARM M4 at 180MHz offers more performance than a standard mechanical build of a 3D printer can handle. It is so, that the aluminum structure used in the Ender 5 Plus is what is called "light" and there are 2 more variants, the stiffest one is "Heavy". Replacing the structure with stiffer aluminum profiles gets into the challenge to replicate the holes drilled into them. Here I see a possible product to be offered to the market by 3rd parties. The other component required to upgrade the performance is to use drivers using TMC5161 that can handle up to 60VDC. Watterott i.e. offers those. Finally, a separate power supply with 48 VDC to feed the drivers will add to it. BTT now has a board that supports this. 3D printing is a slow manufacturing process and if you go to use less than 0.4 mm you can even improve the resolution of your prints thanks to the higher speed it does happen as fast as before.

If there's a DWIN solution that gives me all of the features and control of a Marlin interface, including M600 support, I'd be happy to look into it. Traditionally the support has been very lacking.

@@kerseyfabs stop the clock. Are you saying that the only way to get M600 to work on the E5P is with a new screen? Obviously this doesn't include working off octopi / octoprint because it works with octoprint even on your marlin 1.7.3BL
@kerseyfabs2 жыл бұрын
I realize you can probably do that with an OctoPrint plugin but many of my viewers are not interested in adding an additional layer to their printer. I get so many messages, emails, and comments asking how to get M600/pause at layer working on a stock Ender 5 Plus. If you know how to do this with an updated DWIN firmware, I'd be down to making a video on it.

Make sure that the firmware flashed correctly. It should show the version you downloaded on the boot screen or the info screen. If that's correct, go into the configuration menu and init the EEPROM again to make sure you clear any old settings.

Had to upgrade to "SKR Mini E3 V3.0" because v1.1.4 got some smoke. However I miss these old-school retro sounds original board does. Why people want "silent" drivers is beyond my understanding. And I see no much difference comparing to what 8 bit board can at default speeds. Output quality is similar. CPU speed doesn't really matter. With all the optimizations set of features is similar. Yes, I've received input shaping, linear advance and stallguard but I can live without these. I could go back to 8 bit easily without any regret.
