SKR V1.3 Comprehensive guide - 32bit 3D printing for $20
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ค. 2024
- The BIQU/Bigtreetech SKR V1.3 is very popular right now, offering 32 bit 3D printing for around US$20. This is one of my most requested videos, so I figured I’d make it as comprehensive as possible. This video provides an overview of the SKR V1.3, where to find resources, a guide to setting up Atom/PlatformIO, how to transfer configuration files for Ender 3 and generic printers, as well as setup for A4988, TMC2100, TMC2208 in UART mode, TMC2130 in SPI mode with sensorless homing, BLtouch and filament runout detection.
This board and the 2130 drivers supplied to me free of charge by BIQU for the purposes of making this guide. All opinions expressed are my own, and my opinion is that this is a winner, especially for the money.

Thanks for the comp. vid. I have seen other channels that were blury and could not see what they were doing. Yours are wonderful!
Well done Michael, appreciate all the effort you put into this guide.
love learning from this guy! This community is lucky to have him. best part is he doesn't try to milk $$ out of his viewers by creating a product and a store. he just shares his knowledge and experiences.
Great video again, Michael. And thanks for recognizing all of the work I had done on the STLs for all of the cases
Great, thanks for that!!! Now I need to print the case and waiting for the extra info about TMC2209.
Michael first of all a huge thank you, your videos have made my first foray into 3d printing fun and relatively stress free; your videos are always informative (wish Id had teachers like you when I was at school) and always to the point. This one is a god send the amount of work gone into it is hugely appreciated and my next upgrade is skr 1.3 +2208 .
I just wish I could afford patreon but I do appreciate you and your channel (Chep and Angus are both pretty awesome as well)
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. But everything worked, whew!
OMG! What an opus! That was a nice birthday present for me! Having the skr1. 3 in the mail from China, now I know where to go to when it arrives! Thank you so much for this video! Really appreciate all the hard work that went into it. All the best to you down under!
Thanks for the video. I have two of these coming from Amazon to upgrade my older printers. Very informative.
What a great video. I very much appreciate the effort you made to publish it - no doubt it saved me tons of time. Thank you.
What an amazing guide! I have been struggling to install this board on my Ender 3 for the last two days without success and now I know why.
Thanks a million for all your hard work!
yeah so far this is helping me with my Anet A8. Similar with the Ender 3.
Thank you for your work! Can't wait to see comparisons.
Been waiting for you to make this!! My board comes in next week.
Fantastic video, thank you for all the hard work you did making it. Between you and Chris’s basement I almost understand all this driver stuff except for when should you use them direct or spi or uart? Please help out those of us still not understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each of these. Thank goodness you’re here for us!
Good effort, the videos have really helped me get into 3d printing. My mainboard burned out today so deciding whether to go for the 32bit instead
you have by far one of the best technical channels I've ever come across. I appreciate your clear instructions, teaching style, and friendly personality. I rarely comment on youtube channels, but i wanted you to know how helpful you are to countless people. I think in one of your videos you mentioned teaching outside of youtube as a career / to students -- It really truly shows. You do amazing work here and i have learned so much from your channel and the time you have spent to share this knowledge Thank you sir!
as usual great instruction video , your a great asset to the 3d printing community . I have some skr mini1.1 to play with to replace the board on a cctouch . thanks again Micheal
Great tutorial. I've been wanting to upgrade the control board for my Ender 3 and separate it from the printer so that I can enclose the printer for doing ABS and ASA.
Great video thanks I have bought one and am just waiting for TMC5160s to put on it i went for these as they are spi but have stealthchop 2. Great videos helping me learn a lot as I relatively new to 3d printing
You're one of the few TH-camrs worth watching, very concise, rehearsed, articulate and intelligent. I just finished following a how to guide listed in the SKR V1.4 User Manual, at least the part that worked. I ended up using VSCode with the Merlin branch from BTT Git. Everything worked without tweaking, shame BTT doesn't keep it's manual / how-to current. Oh and thanks for the YT on LowRider! what a hoot! A means to cut aluminum parts out of aluminum sheets for under $500... Save 10 times that on the pre-cut kit for a UltraCruser UL.
great video with great directions .there's no doubt you put a lot of time and effort into this.
Great video. Just got one of these boards. This was a big help. Thanks for your time.
@teaching tech, this was extremely helpful, it did not cover every single thing i was looking for but it got me going in the right direction and i wouldn't even be on square one if not for this information. i bought this mainboard before i even understood how it worked and ive never touched firmware before now, however i feel confident that if nothing else ill figure it out, and my poor little ender will live again and be dubbed the frankenprinter. instead of the BL Touch im hoping to use an inductive probe (only because i have one laying around and designed the extruder carriage with mounts for one) and im using the TMC 2208 drivers in UART since i was not confident im my ability to go with anything more advanced than that yet. im slowly realizing though that the touch would be a better option, and the sensorless homing would be an amazing feature to play with. overall, thank you for making the vide, and i look forward to whatever you do in the future.
An update on the installation of the BLTouch on this board would be nice as there are a lot of differences between this and the vanilla marlin video - thanks!
Phenomenal content Michael. I think I'm going to buy another Ender 3 to try this out on.
Great video thanks for all the hard work that went into this one!
Finally!!! I was waiting for it for sooooo long ... so long in fact , that I couldn’t resist and somehow managed to do it with a help form BIGTREETECH Facebook group... I’m strongly recommend to join in , if you consider upgrading to SKR ..as those guys are amazing! ...and the BIGTREETECH ( Company which make those boards) is actually responding to the problems ( BTT HOPE ;)
To those who read this from the fb group which I just mentioned.
I salute you :)
Great Video. I used your guidance to install SKR V1.3 in my Ender 3 Pro. I used LV8729 drivers with 128 microsteps. My drivers had 220 resistors, so vref @ .9v on extruder .8 on XYZ. Everything running smoothly, very quiet. Cooling fans are now the loudest part. Thank you for your help.
Great vid man. Thanks for all your hard work.
And thats the video i was waiting for!
Awesome stuff! Thanks a lot for keeping us updated!
Thank you for the documentation, i am planning to do this on an ender 5.
Anyways, i hope that you can also go through smoothieware one day :D
Recently fitted an SKR 1.3 to my Anet A8. Great board at an amazing price.
Although I'm gutted my Eryone Resumer 3D won't connect to it 😢 I also switched from Atom to Visual Studio Code. Much better (IMO). The best video yet for the SKR 1.3. One I will be referring back to when needed. Thank you.
Excelent Video,
I already installed my skr 1.3 to my ender 3 a month ago. But it was extemly tedious and Hard. No guides where availible at the time.
First of All I was a complete beginner to marlin and 3d printing in general
I stuggeld Hard..
Got it working after a week through. Tmc2208 and 32bit are rly worth it.
Thank u so much for your guide.
Anyone trying this there are errors in the official bigtree tech pdf's:
Jumper instructins are wrong (solder all pads)
Their Version Marlin does not compile at even before Modifikation.
you're the best man!!!! really Thank you for all the information
Very helpful video, I've been waiting for this one
Fantastic video, will make future up grades so much easier, cheers.
Hi Michael,
this is Teemo from BIG TREE TECH store.
Thanks for your excellent video.
陈丹 send the guy some free stuff 👍🏻😆
Have you guys fixed your install guide yet? Virtually none of the process for installing the v1.2 was covered as there's this assumption that you can just move the wires from one board to the other without unplugging all of them. And that might work if you have tiny hands, but it's definitely not a safe assumption and there should be some sort of resource provided that clearly shows which wires go where as the pin labels are clearly not accurate.
@Neil Siebenthal That's what I did, but having to depend on that is rather questionable when the silk screening is wrong and wiring it incorrectly can have all sorts of problems. A proper photo is the bare minimum here just so that the end user knows that they've got it right before powering on.
@Neil Siebenthal You were lucky, mine hasn't worked a single time and despite none of the recommendations by tech support working, they're refusing to refund the purchase, won't replace it and can't say how to get it working properly.
i just posted to this asking for help my printer is trying to print off to the side of the build plate what am i missing
Very helpful video - thanks for sharing :)
Great video. For people looking to buy new parts BigTreeTech have now released the TMC2209, an upgraded TMC2208 with lower heat generation and inclusion of stallguard
Link?
Another awesome video. Thanks!
Thank you for putting so much time and energy into these videos. I definitely appreciate it. I saw the SKR 1.3 in your previous video for the first time, did my research and ended up getting one. It showed up the day you posted this video. You covered almost everything I wanted to know about the board. I do still have questions about LEDs. I've done some searching and I have found almost nothing on using NEOpixels(WS2812) with this board. Are these even compatible? some of the endstop switches look like they could support them, but I don't know enough to be confident in that. Any chance we could see a video about this?
Love this video (as always). 💯 I’ve been a software engineer for over 40 years now (started programming at 16 with an Apple //+).
Not sure if you know or if it’s a language difference, but “Clang” i think is short for C Lang it C Language. You installed a C Language parser or compiler for ATOM.
I have to put this exact same setup on my computer right away to find out and also to follow along with this tutorial. Great job, once again. I’m catching up. 👍🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I would love to see you do a video on the SKR and Klipper
So much information!!! I love it!!!!!
Great tutorial micheal thanks
FYI the SKR Mini also requires an external mosfet for the heatbed. It still has connection for the heatbed thermistor. It's best for people who are planning to use an external mosfet anyways, or are using those 110/220v AC heatbeds.
Awesome vid, would you consider doing a playlist of just the videos that pertain to the ender3, just got one figured it'd be a good place to start for home 3d printing for fun. Don't think I've ever pulled this much hair out in the name of fun before but am having a great time playing with it with my kid... One of the boards you added made it go nearly silent...
Oh man, I was hoping I wouldn't have to install like six new programs to set this up. This is going to require some pondering. Excellent video though, it covers everything it seems like you'd need to know!
Another great video. Thank you.
Thanks master Michael. Now a curly question, is it best to upgrade to a 32 bits board or use Klipper on the raspberry Pi alongside with Octoprint?
Cheers
Manu
Excellent video as always.
Note: The microcontroller on the Pro-board (STM32F407) is pin-to-pin compatible with the STM32F427/F437, so it's possible to upgrade the microcontroller to STM32F427 (extra 64KB RAM, 180 MHz instead of 168 MHz, 1MB extra Flash memory, faster GPIO-speed and much higher timer speed). The price of a single STM32F427 is around $5 on eBay. This modification requires that you're able to desolder and solder LQFP100 ICs - or that you know someone who can do it for you. It also requires you to make some adjustments to the firmware, so it takes advantages of the extras (such as raising the clock speed, using the extra memory and taking advantage of the faster timers).
This video helped me heaps! I decided to also upgrade another machine I have and was wondering will you be doing an updated video with the V1.4 board that came out in Dec? from what I can tell some pins have changed and there are new dedicated pins.
I had a LJ12A3-4-Z/BY (6-36VDC) laying around for some years. I found it yesterday and tried it with 5V. To my surprise it works. I made a connector for the board and it was just plug and play. My z Offset is about 2mm and the sensor is clear above the nozzle. I ran a m48 p30 test and the result was astonishing. 0.002 standard deviation.
Than I looked at AliExpress how much these cost. 2-3$. My smart touch never worked that great. Had to pull the pin every time I powered up the printer. And the nozzle was crashing a few times. Finally bed leveling works great.
Thanks for covering this. I have my 1.3 installed but am having issues with it crashing the nozzle into the bed when homing. Time to make another round on your videos and make sure my settings are correct based on what TH3D has up on configuring marlin 2.0.
Oh ..I am having issues installin but i just saw a section I thin configuireADV_h..??.. not sure.. Where you could alter what it does when stopping .. i specifically saw "crashing Z nozzle" so it doesnt fall on the print when done...
search for "Crashing"..Fall on to print"..some key words will pop up... You could set values fopr what echt axis stepper does ..check that ..
I would for you right now , but I got so fed up . I uninstalled everything and am starting over ..still installing atom..Is it me on is atom really taking long time to start up... keeps saying editor notresponding , wait?... a couple of times ..then finally its up..
@@AlexanderSauerPlaysWithHeroJr It got sorted after an M119 probe test. I had to swap the wires where it plugged into the z axis endstop on the board. It works normally now.
Brilliant guide as always Michael, however be aware that you cannot enable linear advance on the 2130's SPI with stealthchop, it will give you the symptoms of a burnt out extruder motor. Can confirm that by un-commenting linear advance it will return to normal. For anyone else who freaked thinking drivers or board was bad, try commenting out linear advance. :)
Awesome case, thanks!
Another great video. 👍🏻
FYI Michael's rear mounted case he mentions at 11:40 is titled " Ender 3 upgrades: EZR to direct drive adaptor and all in one rear mounted electronics case" dated June 14 2019
I was able to install mine yesterday in your case. Think I'm going to get a glue gun as some of those tabs that were cut off for the end stops are a little loose. Also, I had to straight wire my hot end fan, but after watching your video, when back in and added the pin. Going to buy your guide anyway, if I can find the link! Thanks!!
I just wanted to say thank you for this guide. As someone with ZERO experience with code, and very little confidence that I could get this up and going, it actually went relatively smooth. I had a ton of issues with Atom that alone had me beyond frustrated. Platform.io has said they aren't supporting it anymore (from what I've read on the bigtreetech Facebook thank you for that as well). Trading out Atom for Visual Studio Code, and having to figure out how to add a library for the TMC 2130 were my only hiccups, I can't tell you the feeling of joy I got when I saw that green line "success" when the firmware built. I ordered some 24v 5015 part cooling fans to cope with some over heating, but either the amperage to run them is too high .17a vs. the stock .1a or I just happened to get a few lemons from Ali, which is possible. A video on upgrading the part cooling fans would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again Michael, keep up the great work
So how do you add the 2208 Lib to atom?
With VS Code on the home page when you first open the program, I just clicked library's and downloaded the 2130 lib there.
Hi Michael, Thank you for this awesome video. It's very informative. I am planning to buy a Two Trees Bluer 3d printer your suggestions will be much appreciated. thank you...
Great video, thanks.
Again great video
Thanks Michael, just bought the TFT 28 screen and this BIQU/Bigtreetech SKR V1.3 online at AliExpress....I am thinking this will be a good upgrade for my own Ender 3 now....I also have an EV3D V6 hotend from local MakerShop here in NZ to go with this... Regards Laurie
hi, great video, few things, there is very interesting new board BIGTREETECH SKR mini E3 with integrated TMC2209 (so no jumpers etc) you didn't mention and second CLang it's klang, there are two words C lang (as this is C language compiler)
Thanks for your videos. They are definitely helpful. I'm super stuck though. You reference back to your previous videos for setting up the 2130's, but that was with a different controller board. I can't seem to figure out where to plug in the loom to the SKR 1.3 Also, you were using a different arduino editor back then and not atom. Things look a lot different in atom (or vscode). Will you be making an updated video for the 2130s for the SKR 1.3? I do all the reading and watching videos that I can and will continue to do so, but I usually come back to your videos since they are the easiest to follow along.
Great video.
Still haven't understand the difference between UART, SPI/DIR and all those stuff. Can you make a video describing these things?
They are just two different ways to connect boards together so they can communicate with each other. Usually you need at least a couple of pins on your microcontroller chip to control/monitor something. This limits the number of things you can control/monitor to the number of pins the microcontroller has.
UART & SPI allow you to control / monitor many things using only a few pins on the microcontroller. It works by daisy chaining the sensors together: 1st sensor plugs into microcontroller, 2nd sensor plugs into the 1st sensor and it's data is passed through to the microcontroller, the 3rd sensor plugs into the 2nd sensor and so on.
With uart on the stepper drivers you can set limits in software and don't have to trim the pot on the stepper pcb itself. It will also enable you to use advanced modes of the stepper drive like stealhchop. With tmc2130 on spi you can also use homeing without endstops.
@@hansmaulwurf8027 what is stealth chop?
@@elfpimp1 a special mode of the trinamics drivers which make the motors very very silent. So silent you can put the printer into your bedroom. (If you have quiet fans)
@@hansmaulwurf8027 wow..
Great video what the prints look like? I really like this for the homing feature.
Thanks for an awesome video with so much practical information! There's really no excuse for anyone not to upgrade to this 32-bit board to get with the times!
Wow, impressive job you have done
Thanks for sharing👍😀
Could you do a quick Pro board firmware rundown for us plebs? They're so cheap i might as well plan ahead for future upgrades/builds. Your vids are great, thanks.
Micheal, you just made me buy one of those!! :)
same just received it today
TT....That was so elaborate....Thankyou !!
very helpful!
love the upgrades for ender 3.. but meen hate those ruber bearing axis situation
Ghads. Was expecting a "Bob's your uncle" somewhere near the end as a punchline.
V professional and well done.
@Teaching Tech - Great video Michael wish my conversion had gone so well but slowly getting there. Also by chance do you have another link for your non BL Touch firmware as the current one takes you to a MKS Gen L Marlin?>
Waiting the pro one. Btw, is there any possibility to use bigger TFT LCD?
Thanks so much for all of your informative videos. Do I still need to get the Rapberry Pi to do octoprint or does this new board allow for wifi printing as well. Also I would like to upgrade my main board but I'm new to 3d printing. Would it be best to start with the MKS gen L? Thanks!
Awesome guide. I will really appreciate if you could do an SKR upgrade for CR10S Pro
At the 8 minute mark: Just a note for people who bought the BIGTREE Pro or Mini, the latest Marlin has specific environments for the BIGTREE SKR Pro (line 476) and Mini (line 308)
Great video! thanks. Did you get any further on the creality ender 5 you made for ABS printing?
Hi, Great video thank you :D
it will be great if add SKR V1.3 Ender 3 base BLtouch for all the important drivers (TMC2130,2209,5161).
Hey Michael, great video as always.
Are you planning to do a guide like this for the MKS SGEN_L with TMC2209 ?
i think that the mks gen L does not support the 2209
Ender 3 sounds like a little bit better version of the Anet A8. You earned a subscriber!
LOL This is not really for the noobs (myself) in the audience, but still very detailed that if you want its doable. Just make sure not to miss a step or do it wrong. I'm sure most know the headache a comma or a bad wire connection causes lol. Great video TT.
btw Have you published a printable check list of all the steps? It would be nice to have a hard copy at hand.
Hi there! Thanks for these awesome guides! I have run into a bit of a snag though.. After following your guide for the TMC2130 drivers, I notice my z stepper motor makes a loud noise when raising or lowering the axis. Any idea how this can be resolved?
Great tutorial! Tnx. Text is a little bit to small for me but I managed to get it through. When you transferred file to the board... When I press upload, it starts compiling again. I found previously compiled file but I thought that it would be simpler to use Atom for this...
@Teaching Tech
any chance of doing a video of how to install ect in the tevo tornado, and provide marlin setup ect also, be very much appreciated
whilst I am lookin forward to the TMC2209 and TMC5160, I think I'd rather see you cover some newer lower cost drivers instead. the AT2100 (clones of the TMC2100 used on the Sidewinder X1 available under £3 each) the ST820, an up to 45v stepper driver with native 128microsteps, and the TBS6128, another driver with higher power and high (128) microstepping, all of these are at least half the price of the TMC stuff and I think they would benefit from being covered more.
Fantastic walkthrough Michael, thank you. I will definitely be referencing this when I upgrade the #Borg. Looking forward to the driver videos.
Thanks for the very informative video. Please can you advice what pin i can use to connect an E3d pt100 circuit for hightemp printing of up to 400C. Also did you have to reverse the exp 1 and 2 pins to make your display come on.
the mini also doesn't have mosfet for the bed, and there we have the skr e3 (same size, positions as the creality board) with integrated tmc2209 and uart for 30usd, and now you can prepurchase the skr e3 dip (also same size, positions) with replaceable drivers for 13-15usd, this I think is the best solution for an ender
great video! Thanks quick question... Do these Boards work with Delta printers
I think this the way to go for dual extrusion setup
Mike, I am a new DIYer in the way of CNC/3DP and about to build a Lowrider 2 from V1 Engineering and saw your videos (great info). I really want to incorporate your added touches of self level and squaring. I am looking at the SKR V1.4 due to the add of Wifi and need to know if all the software/firmware will change... or will it just need to be tweaked for the new board, I dont know all the programing yet.... heck of a way to start right.
I see you pay attention to the questions asked on the FB groups! Another good guide!
After 3days struggling with Atom I switched to Vscode and complied firmware for BIGTREE SKR PRO 1.1.
I spoke the the PlatformIO guy, and Atom is a dead application, he recommended we use VSCode
