Octopus is a great motherboard for 3D printers.

I have installed and used several Bigtreetech motherboards and this one is as good or better than all the others. I like SKR but I love this one. If you have room for a larger size, use this octopus board.

Pros
  • Firmware update: Klipper/Marlin
Cons
  • Not sure

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

Pros
  • Online printing/Offline printing
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Works but requires a lot of fiddling, NO BigTree support

I bought this for my Mendelmax build I'm working on. The title says "Octopus v1.1" but for some reason I got "Octopus v1.0". However. I finally hooked it up and tried it out. BigTree has firmware for Marlin, Klipper and RepRapFW on Github. First I tried marlin. I have a connection but the limit switches didn't work. I finally gave up on Marlin and switched to RepRapFW. Earned after long excitement. I bought a WiFi module, but when the WiFi module is installed, the board does not boot. I'm still

Pros
  • Main Control Chip
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
