Review on πŸ™ Enhanced Control with BIGTREETECH Direct Octopus Supports by Jordan Rini

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Compatible with CR-10 but needs improvement

The packaging says it is CR-10 compatible which means it will work as a CR10 but not in one Factory case will fit and requires knowledge of Marlin firmware for proper operation. In order to use the board you will need to print a new case or sharp cut the factory case to gain access to the SD card slots. I needed the help of BTT customer service to rewrite the firmware for my particular cr10 to even use my printer with the SKR mini E3 which was a direct replacement for the factory cr10 board. My machine is now running very well and quietly but needs some more tweaking as the factory steppers aren't working properly and seem to stop midway on the Z axis for a couple of shifts and then pick up. Possible overheating or undervoltage.

Pros
  • Online printing/Offline printing
Cons
  • Slightly torn
