![]() ![]() filament guides, cable chains, and part cooling nozzle. These are optional printed upgrades I would consider essential. It would be nice if Creality would do it from the factory but so far they haven't picked up everything. The 4th item is a rare thing that could be a shock hazard caused by a loose screw or a misaligned insulation sheet in the PSU.Īll together the 4 fixes will take 30 minutes or less and $30 or less. The first three are fire hazards that are simple to fix and don't cost much but are essential before leaving it unattended. There is a small chance it isn't properly connected. Use an ohm meter and verify grounding from the ground pin on the power cord to the PSU chassis and the frame.If you don't have an arduino or pi already laying around Flash the firmware to enable thermal protection - even the new ones don't have it fully enabled - you need an Ardiuno or Raspberry PI + 6 dupont wires to hook up and do it. ![]() Inspect/fix all the wires in the screw terminals on the main board - if they have solder on them clip the ends and either put into the screw terminals as bare copper OR better yet crimp ferrules on and put them back.if you really need the XT60 for some reason and you find the installed ones not real, loose, crimped on heating replace it with a real one or a real anderson powerpole connector.average current through it is about 10 amps. but for the average end user the connection really doesn't serve any purpose. this may not be needed on the newer ones since they seem to use the real XT60 vs knockoff. Inspect/replace the wire/xt60 from the PSU to the main board - 14awg stranded THHN with spades on one end and ferrules (or nothing) on the other - cost is less than $10 - this eliminates the XT60 connector all together.If you get an ender there are 4 safety things that I would do before I would print more than a test object or two and certainly before leaving it unattended No posts relating to functional firearms, how to obtain or construct them, or where to obtain files.No posts about printer deliveries / pictures of boxes.No "illegal" posts, for example pirated software, sharing paid models, etc.Don't use affiliate links without disclosure, and clear it with the moderators first.Use the search function before posting if you are asking a question.All posts should somehow be related to the Ender 3.The sub was started to be a good place to find information about anything related to the Ender 3 from setup, to help with your prints, to showing off some of your creations.įeel free to ask questions, look for advice, post about issues, and search for suggestions. Several of the boards have already been contributed by volunteers.This sub is for all things related to the Creality Ender 3 3D printer. This also makes it easier to wire boards that are not gadgeteer compatible ( like people do with v1 now, just easier ). This will allow you to start from a Smoothieboard and add pretty much anything you want to get your machine to to what you want, just by plugging things in. However, we also want to develop our own series of boards, some of which are of general use, but lots of which are specific to CNC, lasers, 3D printers, etc. One great advantage of this is that there is a large pre-existing ecosystem of breakout boards that are compatible with this socket : Not to be confused with the Gadgeteer boards and coding environment, we are only using the socket and naming conventions : The Smoothieboard v2 line will have a standard connector for its free GPIO : the gadgeteer system. ![]() Once that decision is made, we have a plan for BeeVer圜reative ( thanks a lot to them ! ), Uberclock and Robotseed, to pull together to hire actual professional developers ( including Smoothie legend Jim Morris ) to do both the RTOS port, and the low level device drivers for USB, Ethernet and SD ( and more ! ).īecause this will be paid work, it should be much faster than what volunteer contributors are generally able to achieve, so work on this really powerful version of the v2 firmware should go quickly once it starts.Īnother lesser known but really awesome feature of the v2 project, is the planned series of extension boards. We are still deciding between NuttX, FreeRTOS and mBed OS. This has many advantages, should make Smoothie run even more smoothly, make the code even better, allow for even more new features, and fix a lot of the limitations of the v1 codebase. We want to rebuild Smoothie on top of a RTOS. ![]() This is pretty cool, however, there is some even more exciting things to come. These awesome people have gotten the alpha version of the nuttx firmware up and running. The mBed version has been put on hold and is superseded by the nuttx version of the Smoothie v2 firmware. The mBed version of the Smoothie2 firmware is a port of the v1 firmware we all love to the LPC4337 ( the chip on the Smoothieboard v2 ). ![]()
