Got a Voxelab Aquila C2 (original Ender 3 clone) used for $61 with free shipping. First I got a Makerbase MKS E3D board, and it was quieter but the company abandoned support years ago. Thats on me for not doing my research and seeing the $25 price tag and making an impulse buy. I just got the BTT SKR Mini v3.0 and wow… what an improvement. This board is beautiful and impressive. I love being able to control the mainboard fan, the hotend fan, and blower fans. I prefer to leave the mainboard fan on all the time. The board turns on the hotend fan when the temp is over 50c. Soooo quiet.

[@georgemitchell2288]

A reason, IMO, for upgrading the E3V2 is if you have a GD32F mcu, and you plan on upgrading to Klipper. I've heard of problem with those mcu's flashing klipper. With BTT SKR mini's going for about 40.00 its a fair deal for faster printing speeds.

[@notenoughtech]

I'm yet to try klipper. Maybe over Xmas when I have more time

[@EsotericArctos]

The sound was one of the factors in me getting the Ender Pro 5 over the standard Ender 5. The Pro came with silent drivers. That said, I am still considering updating the motherboard due to other features, such as sensorless homing and linear advance, which is not implemented on the "silent" boards from Creality. Linear advance does give options for considerable quality improvements. Of course you need to customise Marlin a little to really get significant improvements over stock firmware.

[@notenoughtech]

I will have a separate video about sensorless homing as its worth visiting I think, and I have stuff coming up about completely silent printing. So watch this space

[@EsotericArctos]

[@icebird76]

If you have a raspberry pi or are already using octoprint, then look into Klipper firmware. You can use linear advance without spending $50.

[@zsavage1820]

Thank you for a great video .. made my installation a breeze.. I only have one issue with this board so far... I bought a couple years ago an extension cable for the SD card,.. with this new board, it won't see the Micro SD card when it's in the extension cable,.. not sure why as the SD card is fine and adapter,..... computer sees it no problem.. any recommendations? .. was thinking a newer one..

[@notenoughtech]

Other than the cable not being correctly seated, I can't really think of any other issues. If you don't like the SD card slot position, I found BTT TFT screens to be great with SD support and USB - plus I can't go back after using touchscreen

[@CaseFace5]

I still have no idea how a motherboard can make the motors run quieter but the results seem to speak (or shut up) for themselves. ill definitely be picking one of these up for my old Ender 3 that ive just had to move back into my bedroom.

[@notenoughtech]

To drive the stepper a board needs to create a pulse. The frequency and how clean the output is removed the whine associated with the movement of the motor. To get the better signal you need better components (so it's more expensive). You could think of it like of being inside of a car. Every car (combustion one) has an engine but not all of them are loud inside. Usually the expensive ones are much quieter.

[@hostinggeek]

I'm curious because a lot of people call these silent. My RAMPS 1.6 wit a4988 steppers properly tuned is just as quiet. Is it that people just don't know they can turn a potentiometer to make their machines quiet? This is a great, informative video btw. It's just been a long few hours of watching videos about silent steppers that aren't actually silent.

[@xavierscott4801]

Thanks so much! Great video, very informative. I was too eager and bought this board before researching how useful it would be for my Ender3 V2. I also purchased one of the clone BL touch devices (the Simax3d 3D Touch V3.2 in my case) and I have been having a terrible time compiling a working Marlin firmware for it. Any advice you can offer? I would greatly appreciate it. In the marlin configurations folders, there is a firmware for the base ender3 and ender3 pro setup for this board. But not one for the ender3 v2. Which folder would you reccomend, or do you know of a better firmware I can download from somewhere?

[@notenoughtech]

Are you in a correct branch? I thought I have seen the marlin for that board for the V2. Unless I'm getting crazy. Adding BLTouch clone should be pretty straight forward as long as you have correct mapping for the wires. I have an article on the website about the marlin and BLTouch.

[@KarlosCastillo420]

Actually I think this board is not compatible with the V2 cause the screen. It's only working on the original ender 3 and ender 3 pro. I'm not sure but I read it somewhere. I've installed this board on my E3p.

[@notenoughtech]

It requires ribbon cable mod to make it compatible. It's not as straight forward as I'd like it to be but it's workable with w bit of patience. Personally I use BTT TFT screens as I hate navigating through the menus with the knob

Hey! Awesome video! Question! I got a v2.4.7 with dual z motors, bltouch, filament sensor and a pi. In your opinion would this be an upgrade, or sidegrade?

[@notenoughtech]

Are you planning to add anything else to the printer? You are pretty much at max spec on your printer board, I found the SKR to be only tad quieter than 4.2.2 (I don't have 4.2.7) so I wouldn't really recommend based on that alone. If you want to get this for your current printer, your upgrade path would be: quieter printing, better fan control so with that spec in place it's a sidegrade. You'd be better off looking at good deal on Ender3 and investing in second printer at this point than sidegrading. At least that's how I would approach it.

[@TechdoLiberal]

@@notenoughtech I was considering the dual z header.. Is it using two steppers? can they be individually controlled? or are they using the same stepper?

[@notenoughtech]

They have a separate stepper controller for the second z axis. I'm not sure if you can control this as a single off axis (probably yes) as it's down to firmware. My bet is that hardware is made to help synchronization between both steppers. But if you play enough in marlin I'm almost sure you can control both of them separately

[@elvietnameno]

@@TechdoLiberal if you are asking if each z axis on a dual axis has its own dedicated stepper driver it does not. It has a single stepper driver for 2 z axis.

@@L3X369 You wouldn't need to if your setup is mechanically sound. G34 is needed to sync up motors driven by separate commands.

[@bsorrell98]

I have an old Ender 3 clone based on an MKS Robin Lite that was dead when I received it. I am trying to replace it with a BTT SKR Mini E3 v3.0. My printer has X, Y and Z endstop switches that have 3 wires, so they don't fit the BTT 2 pin connectors for these endstops. I am willing to replace my end stop switches with 2 wire versions or rewire the existing switches if I can find out how the 3 wires should be connected on the BTT. I only seem to be able to find 3 wire switches on line. And all of the instructive KZbin videos show people upgrading Ender 3s with 2 wire endstop switches. Any help would be appreciated.

[@notenoughtech]

3 wire switches are just fancy way of sending the same signal. In 3 wire logic one is high (positive) and switch directs the output to wire 1 or 2. (So one is usually connected - pulled high). With 2 wire sockets board assumes high signal unless the witch activates the 2nd wire. Just check your printer and confirm that the logic pulls high or low as both scenarios are possible and then wire your existing switch accordingly. Usually its the com and one if the Nc (normally closed) so it triggers when the switch is closed.

Nice video very informative but have you done anything with the 10S Pro Motherboard replacement? Has anyone looked in real time filament management? sensor data on on width and height versus feed rate, temp, nozzle to bed, speed. The data could be integrated for a bead form goal and the system trained on filament types to create maps to put down perfect filament. I have a hell of time maintaining good nozzle distance and speed any time I change filament. What do you think? We did that in 1980 for robotic Welding. We used a laser to detect the V groove and then regulate wire feed and speed to get a perfectly flat fill in realtime. It was great. I would love to make a real-time closed loop system. Dennis

[@notenoughtech]

Is it possible... Probably.. I think it would add cost and probably even more complexity to the system. Change of filament shouldn't really have an impact on the print quality as long as your filament gets correct print settings. If you are losing quality after filament change I'd check for mechanical integrity of the machine. It's likely something might be a little loose.

I've had a lot of problems with the BTT SKR Mini E3 3.0. Conquered them all except one big one. The worst thing about this board is it crashes constantly partway through the print. Seems to me to be related to bug MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/18226, but I can't find config files that support Ender-3 Pro. If I could get a firmware build that doesn't crash, I'd be really happy with it. I really like the improved fan controls and tft backlight timer. I'm ready to roll back to SKR Mini E3 v2.0.

[@notenoughtech]

Run it as ender 3 as essentially the only thing you care about is the bed volume and steppers. I have been running it from the E3 config for over 2 months now without board issues. I had some problems with my watercooled extruder but I finally got where I can print reliably

[@rogerrabt]

Which firmware do you recommend?

[@notenoughtech]

How are you feeling about compiling your own?

[@rogerrabt]

Not a problem at all. I've tried a few with the release 2.0 code and the config files. Same crashes though. I did get it to stop saying "echo: Fade Height" which is a nice plus. It would be great to build the Marlin bugfix 2.0x but that might just introduce even more untested code.

[@notenoughtech]

Fade hight goes away once you store the BLTouch mesh. It's just a warning saying no mesh info is saved. Start with ender3 sample for skr and add any mods you have to the config. You should be ok with that

[@michaelwright6751]

I Have just added the SKR Mini E3 Version 3.0 Motherboard and the BigTreeTech TFT35 3.5” Color Touch Screen. I had a BL Touch, so I have tried to add it as your video shows, but it is not working and wants to smash the base without stopping. I thought I had loaded the correct firmware with auto homing, but the red light on the BL Touch never comes on. Just the little blue dot light. So, my BL Touch colors are different with a blue wire instead of green, but they are in the same places as yours. I just can't figure this out. Why is the BL Touch not lighting and moving the retractable arm?

No printer attached means that screen is not able to talk to the motherboard. There are many reasons why this could happen.

[@Iphonedylan]

I just ordered this board not got it yet… do I need to install JST connectors for the fans? Or is there a way around this for my ender 3 pro.

[@notenoughtech]

It's all plug and play unless you have some mods that needed rework on your E3

[@Iphonedylan]

@@notenoughtech oh okay, so I dont need to install any JST connectors for my fans? Ive not did any mods yet, completely stock so far. Thanks for the response!

[@notenoughtech]

@@Iphonedylan if I remember right the extruder one on the older creality boards is wired to a screw in terminal. The other two should have the JST plugs. Check your cables and you will know in advance

[@michaellindborg1510]

Too bad it doesnt have two z stepper drivers. Would have been the perfect board for an Ender 3 dual z upgrade.

[@notenoughtech]

Introduction of a separate stepper driver would lead to more expensive board as you need to synch these up. I'd like to see someone going in details about the actual benefit (other than heat reduction) by having another driver instead of sharing the same signal. The only thing I could think of is the current available to both motors. It's halved so is the load per individual stepper. For machine this size it wouldn't be an issue.

[@nanocastmanutd]

Please, has someone found the firmware for the CR-10?

[@notenoughtech]

Try using Ender 3 file with changed bed size

[@georgepr9258]

can you install in a tronxy x5sa pro

[@notenoughtech]

You have to check the screw layout for the board. Dimensions for holes are in the documentation

[@metalwolfy82]

anyone had issues getting the BTT board to work with octopi? octopi doesn't see it for me (upgraded to newer firmware before testing from their git repo). The USB port with the cable provided feels a bit slack :(

[@notenoughtech]

My first tip would be to change the cable. Next check the serial port settings in your firmware

[@metalwolfy82]

@@notenoughtech note to self... try more cables.... it sprung into life.... very weird as the other cables I used on the old board.

[@notenoughtech]

It's a thing that gets me most. Usually when I see a lose cable I go for the next one.

How to set Vref on this motherboard?

As the steppers use UART i believe all you need is to change the relevant value in Marlin.

I have a Ender 3 Pro and I successfully replaced and installed everything except my fan.There’s 1 red and 1 black wire that I don’t see where it can go.Any help?

[@notenoughtech]

Which fan do you need to connect?

[@icebird76]

That goes in Fan 1 slot (above the other fan slots). You'd need a JST adapter, or you can do what I did and solder the wires directly to the pins. Red to positive, black to negative.

[@malikhunter6504]

@@icebird76 Which option is more easier?😅

[@icebird76]

@@malikhunter6504 Probably soldering, but I'm not sure of any safety hazards (which it may be). With the connector you would either need to just get the end piece and also a crimp tool that you'll probably never need again to install the connector. There are also premade wires, but then you still need to strip away some shielding on the premade wire and connect the premade wire to the existing wire. Could use solder there or heat shrink tubing with solder. As for soldering, it cost me nothing since I already had the kit. I melted a little bit of solder directly on the tip, then quickly touched the wire to the pin and touched the soldering iron to the wires so it bonded. And I can use soldering kit for other projects.

[@notenoughtech]

You can put Dupont wires on individual pins. It's probably the easiest way without using JST. I would recommend jst kit tho. Comes in handy

My end stops don’t work I am at a loss I started by upgrading the hotend and thermistor then I had to update the firmware. Then the steppers wouldn’t work so I got a btt skr mini e3 3.0 and now the endstops don’t work and the fans aswell. Help please. I’m ready to throw it all away

[@notenoughtech]

What firmware did you use? It's unlikely your board, most likely the firmware isn't compatible right now and needs some work. What upgrades do you have and where did you get your firmware from?

[@curtisclevenger8800]

@@notenoughtech ok so I used th3d firmware and I have it working the x and y endstops needed to be switched opposite of what the main board say on it. Weird. But now it tried to go to far to the front left corner when bed leveling. How do I tell it that the probe is the nozzle and what not. Iv been at this for a while I really appreciate the help soo much

[@notenoughtech]

Are you compiling the board firmware yourself and using configuration files? Sounds like stuff has been really messed up in these if you need that much changes. (Providing wiring was spot on) what's the printer that you have? I used the config file for ender3 for this board for GitHub. Worked first time without any issues.

[@curtisclevenger8800]

@@notenoughtech I have a ender 5 pro

[@notenoughtech]

Ok it will require some adjustments in marlin as the board has config files for bed slinger types. But you should get it to work. I'd start with baseline ender 3 btt config and compare it with ender5 stock configuration.

The board sucks. QC is awful and support is abysmal. Anyone promoting BTT products is selling them with affiliate links.They have a vested interest in you buying the product.

[@notenoughtech]

I have several BTT products since I started printing 2 years ago and so far all of them are in tip top shape. What happened to yours?

[@bluemgt06]

See comments on stuff like this all the time, there's a lot of stuff that is user error, not setting up right or pushing it beyond limits is the usual fault. Yes there is room for error, it's not always quality control.

[@blatantmisconception]

@@bluemgt06 Support for the board is awful, the given firmware was broken. The early editions of the board dropped like flies due to shoddy build material and workmanship. Just all around "kwality" stuff.

I bought it, installed it. I did one test print, ran a temp tower test, started a retraction tower test & the extruder driver failed. This board is a piece of garbage. Total waste of money. DO NOT BUY !

[@notenoughtech]

Have you reached out to the manufacturer?

[@toxicculture4682]

we are actually printing objects and simps complain about the noise of the printer

[@notenoughtech]

Is that how you refer to your family? wow! That's what a gatekeeping asshat would say, no offence but you have to sit back and think about what you just said. According to your comment, your hobby is more important than it may bother others in your household. You are either being inconsiderate to them (3D printing can be a lengthy process, noise complaints are very fair) or you are dismissive of anyone who isn't in a position to have a dedicated space for 3d printing - basically looking down on people who try this as a hobby and work with limitations they have, or trying to be considerate to their loved ones.
