BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V3.0 Control Board + TFT35 E3 V3.0.1 Graphic Smart Display Panel Board New Upgrade 3D Printer Parts For Ender 3, Ender3 Pro, Ender 3 V2 Review

Upon bricking the archaic 8bit board in my CR10S in a firmware flash gone wrong, I was left with the choice of buying an arduino and fixing my bootloader, or getting an upgrade board. Their I was standing with the TFT35 and SKR Mini E3 V2.0.The board arrived packaged up nicely. The heatsinks loose with some thermal tape applied. I opened the box labeled what I needed to, out with the old in with the new, dont forget to take the plastic off the screen. The display and board mounted to the…

The touch screen is gorgeous and the main board seems extremely well made. I had to knock a star off because this is definitely NOT just plug and play. You'd think that since these two units are made by the same company and come in the same package, that the two would work perfectly together right out of the box.Nope.When I first powered it on, the touch screen would not respond. Like at all. Even the knob wouldn't work unless I put it in Marlin mode. Turns out I had to put a blank text file…

Unlike most people who 3d print things I am lazy. I also don't like to do things over and over again unless I feel like I am learning something new.So, for people who are new to the 3d printing world this is a great first upgrade for the plain ender 3. there are a lot of people on YouTube and elsewhere that can help with the somewhat difficult process of adjusting the firmware to make the BL-Touch work correctly which is a luxury item that makes *leveling* bed settings more efficient. But there

Bought this and used it in a scratch build printer. Documentation for the V2 control board is there, but somewhat lacking. Being a popular board, there is enough info on the net to fill in the blanks. The board is well built and worked right out of the box. For firmware I used Cheetah 5.0 from Kay3D.com Their firmware is a version of Marlin that takes you through about 20 steps to configure a printer. All these steps are placed at the front of the Config files and notated so well it is almost…

I'm upgrading from the stock 4.2.2 board on my ender 3 pro. This is been the second best mod to my ender 3 pro. The first being the CR touch auto bed leveling accessory. My first print is a noticeably better quality. And it's INCREDIBLY silent.Print quality: Looking back at previous prints, it's absolutely noticeable. Curves are smoother. There's no noticeable ghosting. No weird print artifacts. I've only done a couple prints but I'm impressed. I wish I had installed this before printing some…

It is my upgrade for ender 3 pro. It is good to upgrade from 8 bit to 32 bit. I cannot run klipper. (I use the stock LCD monitor. It turns to blue back light, full of black grids and no words shown. It may be my problem. I need more time to figure out. ) It works with marlin perfectly. I think the BL touch should be ok. I did not test much because I found that my z endstop has no response. Octoprint warns me a bl touch problem and it is not. For the hardware, I can print the BL touch holder. I…

Or maybe I just have a bad board. Industrial & Scientific! But it has given me nothing but trouble trying to get the firmware uploaded.

Super quiet. I put this in my printer to replace a faulty creality 4.2.2 that people claim are supposedly "silent" - now the only noise I hear from my printer is the fans. Also with the bed leveling and auto tramming in the latest firmware I built for my oversized ender 3 pro (400x400x500), it's easier than ever to get it up and running.

I would have rated it with 5 stars, however, because the stepper driver IC's are soldered to the PCB, expand-ability is limited to what is on the board. This is just my opinion, for example if you want to add a second extruder, you can't. Also, the two Z axis driver outputs are linked e.g. just one signal split and present on both connector (ZMA / ZMB). I believe this is a setback, if you need independently controlled Z axis control. For auto X axis leveling, for example.The sad attempt of…

This is very good quality. Watch a couple of online videos to see how to install it. It has quite a few ports and connectors, not all of which you will probably use, but almost certainly everything you will need. I am using it with a CR Touch auto bed leveler. My only complain is that one of the temperature sensors needs a JST-XH connector (the Creality board just takes the raw wires). So I had to buy a connector kit, which was a bit of a pain. Outside of that, the installation was easy and…

This is an impressive little board. The noise difference is AMAZING. The steppers are nearly silent with the only sound coming from the cooling fan in the case. The prints seem to be a bit more stable, and the installation was pretty simple.Be very careful what firmware you download. Make sure you are in the V2 directory, as trying to boot the wrong firmware will just lead to a blank screen. The fix is easy, just reload the correct firmware onto the card and reboot. Documentation is sparse…

I already have a BIGTREETECH SKR Mini 2 so I figured the version 3 would be even better. I am very pleased with the board so far. It's just as silent as version 2. My favorite feature is individual fan control. Fans turn off when the parts cool off. Great if you print while sleeping. The only issue for me is that the cooling fan wire needs to be cut to add the JST connector so that it plugs into the motherboard. The board should come with the JST connector for the price you pay. Taking off 1…

I never realized how noisy my stepper motors were until I installed this board. Definitely a great quality of life improvement. Maybe I’ll upgrade to quieter fans next!
