I don't know why others dont talk about this but it is easier to reverse the normal running direction for a NEMA 17 stepper motor is to just switching either the left or right pair of wires in the pin connector. For example: If the motor runs clockwise and you need it to run counterclockwise instead, you make a note or photo of your pin wirings and in my case that would be Black, Green, Red, Blue being that Black + and Green - are my "A" coil wire pair of positive and negative and the Red - and Blue + are the "B" coil wire pair (which those two are taken from the connection pin plug and reversed from Red and Blue to Blue and Red). Once you switch the two wires, your motor will run in reverse of what the factory sent. In a nutshell: Your stepper has 4 wires which are actually acting as two sets of positive and negative. Take one pair (the right view two wires) and switch their placement and your done!
Hey Ken, thanks for the advice, I will try that out and then make a video about it, in fact I am modding my Ender 3 V2 at the moment and I will probably run into that problem.
I ran into this problem when I upgraded mine and didn't even know it was a known issue I just started swapping the wires assuming that it was wired differently and figured it out
Thank you so much. This was a big help. I suffer from cognitive degeneration and it makes learning new things a chore. If I did it everyday, that would be one thing, but I don't compile firmware every day. Each time I need to do it, I have to figure it out all over again. It's so frustrating. You made my day.
Excellent video! Just upgraded my Ender 3 V2 to the 400x400 extender kit and needed to change the bed size in Marlin. Had ZERO clue how until this, thank you so much!!!
Before watching your vid, I spent hours looking for how to use VScode and IO extension but still can't get my own f/w. Thank you so much, your step-by-step really a savior for me.

I know this video is old but I'm trying to do some research because for some reason all of a sudden my btt skr mini e3 board won't read the SD card , it was printing fine with no problems then I went to print something after printing something the day before and now if I put the card in it it the option doesn't even appear to print from it , I've tried everything from reformatting the card to new cards to a firmware update witch lead me here and nothing is working and there's no info about this problem anywhere so if you have any ideas how I can fix this problem It would be greatly appreciated, thanks and have a great day
Hi, it sounds like a hardware problem. The SD slot comes under a lot of pressure when you insert or remove the card and the hardware might be damaged on the inside of the slot or the solder joints. You could go the octoprint route or install the BTT Touch Screen. I installed one on my printer, still need to do a video on it, and that has additional slots on it. Can you heat up the printer and move the x,y and z axis? Try connecting up prontoface and do some diagnostics with that.
@@FusionSourcethe SD slot doesn't really get used that much because i got the extended slot with the ribbon cable , n i did install the btt touch screen when I got the main board and as long as I don't have the SD card in it it powers up and functions normally and even if I start it up then put the card in it im never given the option to extract a file from it the print from midea selection never pops up

Hi Mike, thank you for the comment. I will try and get a version for you but did you use the "Windows Sandbox" method of compiling the firmware? Please also send me the error message you get when compiling.
My skr mini firmware failed when installing for bltouch touch display come on but does not see the printer, how can I restore the firmware now please help.
I have an Ender 3 Pro and a SKR E3 Mini V3.0 with 3.5" TFT screen and I can NOT get the firmware to load. It goes to a white screen that says Marlin Mode at the top over night and never changes. I followed your directions and can not find help anywhere.
Hey! when i use tuch screen and want to print something and choose sd card I get error message even when I choose usb. must the sd card be placed in the touch screen?
this is without any changes im getting error ? The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1 Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.
@@FusionSource I have a geared extruder and changed it to false as instructed, still not dialed in all the way. Can't find any answers anywhere for this.
I am having an issue with the extruded after installing v2 of the board. I am thinking it is the same as you described in the video. When I move the z axis, the extruder skips back and forth, making a noise. When it goes to print the extruder does not move and push the filament forward. Not sure what to do. Should switch the true/false statement?
Do you have a geared extruder, the symptom you are describing sounds like some else, let me jump onto my support group to see if anyone knows what might be causing this.
@@FusionSource I changed the true to false. I have a base ender 3. I successfully compiled the code and then put on printer. When I move the z axis, it keeps backing the filament out of the tube. Could i have an issue with the board?
@@FusionSource I have tried both true and false. The extruder moves, removing the filament, when I move the Z axis. I was talking to someone about the issue and they suggested switching the pins for the extruder. Not sure what to do. Going to try
Hi Mark, not sure why it would freeze, the only thing I can think of is the main board might be overheating, check the motherboard fan, I might be wrong but that is all I can think of.
@@FusionSource Fan is working fine, all is working fine in fact. I have gone through my whole machine so many times now. I am accepting it is just one of those things for now as it is becoming less prevalent, although still annoying when it does happen. It also only seems to happen on certain prints all related to lithophanes, be it an actual lithophane, display case, or lid. I had no problems with any of them prior to upgrading to 2.5.0.3. 2.x Bugfix worked ok. Have also tried slicing on differing slicers to no avail. I will work it out ...... eventually, lol
I had an error I can’t fix and I need help it says #include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disable for this translation unit.
Hey ! really great guide, but there is one problem hat occured to me, Visual studio code tells me, that it cant find the path to a floder named include that should be somewhere in the files, what should I do ? nothing is working for me. thank you
Hi, what you can try do is what I did in this video, enable Windows Sandbox, there should be tutorials on how to do that, and do a fresh install of Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO as shown in the tutorial and compile a new version of the firmware. This makes sure that you have a clean install and that nothing interferes with the build. I really hope this helps.
how do you enable the ezabl on the new skr firmware? th3d stopped updating for the skr mini e3 because btt threatened some lawsuit, and i'm afraid of messing something up. i haven't been able to get it to print reliably, but it's still better than nothing. if i get that working, the next step is the btt smart filament sensor...
Hey Blake, the reason why I had to do a custom Firmware update was because I needed to change the direction of the extruder, that is not in the pre-compiled firmware.
Need help! My printer stopped extruding after doing this firmware update :( not sure why. I have an ender 3 pro with no modifications to the extruder so I entered, "INVERT_E0_DIR false" is that wrong? *Update for the heck of it I tried setting it to true, obviously no luck. Printer is now out of commission until I can figure this out.
Hi Eturian, I cover the geared extruder at around 08:00. If you have a geared extruder, you will have to update your esteps, I cover that in another video: th-cam.com/video/0bLd1ocwhBI/w-d-xo.html

So, thru this program you can upgrade/activate linear advance in normal Ender3 board? Or it has to be the newer version of marlin? Or this just works on SKR Mini?
Great video! Questions: is Marlin and BTT 2 different types of firmware? Can one flash a BTT board with Marlin firmware and vice versa? How so I know which is the right one for my BTT SKR Mini v2?
PLEASE HELP!! I was watching someone else's video on installing the BL touch. I got in the firmware and changed a few settings as I thought they did. BUT somehow I messed up the card. Now when i turn on the printer the LCD has nothing on it, the touch screen version says " no Printer attached" . Can you or anyone else for that mater help me? I have tried to find a way to reset it to the way it was and have tried on my own but just cant get it back to the seeing the screen.. Plugged in factory screen and it just stays blank.. so not the screen.. I hope I didn't fry the board.
@@FusionSource yes it was all worked till I tried to set up the BL touch.. The loading and powering lights light up and from research it appears to all be working. Just not the screen. I cant get the touch screen nor the factory screen to work. I have ordered a new board to start from scratch.. I guess I have a nice looking paper weight now.. Well I do enjoy your videos and will just stick to the person I can understand fully (you) and goes at a nice pace. The other video I watched was talking so fast and about stuff I guess he felt everyone with a 3D printer would understand. Saying commands and stuff that got me so lost. Now I have a BL touch I may never use if it is that hard to install and set up.. Well thank you for everything. I will search and see what Videos you have that will be helpful in my learning process. Thanks again!!

Hi Eagle Eye, the standard hotends cannot go that high, do you have an all metal hotend? Let me do some research on this. Please be careful if you are using a hotend that is not all metal, the PTFE tube can let off dangerous fumes above 245 Degrees C

how long does it ussualy take to compile? mines beeen building for over 30 minutes lol.all i changed was the aurther, name and nozel temp limits to 300C. i would think that would build pretty fast
I use the v2 version of this board. I also make use of the touchscreen lcd. Now for the LCD to work correctly I needed to uncomment a rule in the firmware, this worked out fine with your method, however, when I try to flash the firmware nothing happens. It just boots up normally. When I check the sdcard on my computer, the firmware.bin file is deleted. Any tips?
Hi can anyone help we are group of Vietnam vets which are trying to get into 3 D printing to help with PTS but we have embarked on a fruitless journey. With have an old midgda printer with a duet wifi board which we updated to version 3 but we cannot get heaters to work just about ready to throw it out. We brought a cheap anycube mega zero and added a heat bed which worked fine for a while and now all we get is a unknown M140 s . We cannot reset the board or update it as nothing happens . We have tried to follow the video but it does not give us the same result as the screens are different. So we are back we’re we started 12 months ago , do we give up and start another program we are not computor literate and every video people talk to fast . Can anyone help we need a config program for a duet wifi v3 and how to reset the mega zero Thank you

Great tutorial, have been following so many others on youtube with so many errors but just followed this one and instant compile, nothing missing etc, as I have had from the other tutorials. I have not loaded it into my printer yet, but am hoping that it will work. I am led to believe that the file on my MicroSD "firmware.cur", is the original, is this correct?
(ENDER 3 PRO with SKR MINI 3E V2 ) I am trying to enable MESH BED LEVELING by compling in VISUAL STUDIO CODE but failed with the following message " STM32F103RC FAILED @.333 The terminal process "C:\.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe 'run'" terminated with exit code: 1.

I may be a idiot but still can't get this to work. board and all is inhaled printer turns on and moves hasn't burst into flame yet so not too ad on the build lol. Problem I have is you and guy from the first slayed both say to load the configuration files into Arduemo o tty and fix a few small things when I complete all my edits and hit validate to get my bin file say error wrong board. Not positive but this board prints off the sd card so how am I supposed to pic a aboard.

I bought a Bigtreetech SKR E3-DIP V1.1, ( nice board! ) I tried the software according to the above story! but unfortunately it is nothing but crying, It's not that easy at all! I regret that I bought the Bigtreetech board ( by the fault of the software! ) give me my Arduino with Ramps and Arduino IDE and Marlin again. error after error how can you say simple ??? that is not true! also people on our forum it is all terribly difficult. Unfortunately! I've had and someone with more knowledge of software here, I had done everything right he said. he would also look at the software at home! (but the software is really not easy!) Friendly greetings from The Netherlands! Rob
I’ve been watching videos for over a week on how to update the main board I replaced in a used mega zero because the out of the box board (skr mini mz v1.0) I purchased won’t print, likely due to there being no heated bed. I haven’t been able to make any progress because all the people like yourself(s) seem to have left normies in the dust wile living on the bleeding edge, and information pollution makes finding useful/relevant information an exercises in patience if it’s even possible.. is there anywhere someone like me who dosnt know how to code can get some support or at least learn the basics so can understand this wizardry?
Get to the stage where I go to "build" the project in Visual Studio Code and run into the error: "{ "resource": "/c:/Users/ssv_m/Desktop/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master/firmware/V1.2/Marlin-2.0.x-SKR-Mini-E3-V1.2/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json", "owner": "c:\\Users\\ssv_m\\Desktop\\BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master\\firmware\\V1.2\\Marlin-2.0.x-SKR-Mini-E3-V1.2", "severity": 4, "message": "Cannot find \"c:\\Users\\ssv_m\\Desktop\\BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master\\firmware\\V1.2\\Marlin-2.0.x-SKR-Mini-E3-V1.2\\include\".", "startLineNumber": 9, "startColumn": 17, "endLineNumber": 9, "endColumn": 124 } Have tried redownloading the files etc but can't get it to compile.
This should/would work if BTT control boards didn't have so ,any defects and if they did any quality control or testing of their products. A quick internet search reveals how many customers spend many many hours trying to get the boards they bought working with no solutions. Chinese manufacturers destroy innovation and their competitors by selling very poor quality products at dirt cheap prices. Their quality is terrible but ultimately it's our own fault because we're too cheap to pay for anything more expensive than a crappy ender 3.

@@inkphusion Thanks so much for your comment and for your help in this matter. If I may, I would like to use this comment in my description and give you full credit for the fix.
@@FusionSource You are welcomed but credit is due to the content creator Chris Riley. He helped me out, on his video post.
STM32F103RC_btt_512K FAILED
always get this error
thanks for the video! i have the same problem invert extrudeur.. everything work till i try to compil :/
Can you share your firmaware.bin ? please
Hi Mike, thank you for the comment. I will try and get a version for you but did you use the "Windows Sandbox" method of compiling the firmware? Please also send me the error message you get when compiling.
When I build the file I get a .hex file instead of a .bin file. Thoughts???
My skr mini firmware failed when installing for bltouch touch display come on but does not see the printer, how can I restore the firmware now please help.

what does it mean?
Add this on line 46 of your platformio.ini file
board_build.core = maple
I have an Ender 3 Pro and a SKR E3 Mini V3.0 with 3.5" TFT screen and I can NOT get the firmware to load. It goes to a white screen that says Marlin Mode at the top over night and never changes. I followed your directions and can not find help anywhere.
I will be looking into this shortly, I might need to do an update video.
Hey!
when i use tuch screen and want to print something and choose sd card I get error message even when I choose usb. must the sd card be placed in the touch screen?
Yes, the USB now goes in the screen if you using the BTT Touch Screen
i have Version 3 board any help on that?
this is without any changes im getting error ?
The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1
Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

Having the same problem where the extruder won't push forward, only backward when "loading". Any solution for this yet?
Hi, if watch the vide at 8:40 I explain how to reverse the extruder.
@@FusionSource I have a geared extruder and changed it to false as instructed, still not dialed in all the way. Can't find any answers anywhere for this.
I am having an issue with the extruded after installing v2 of the board. I am thinking it is the same as you described in the video. When I move the z axis, the extruder skips back and forth, making a noise. When it goes to print the extruder does not move and push the filament forward. Not sure what to do. Should switch the true/false statement?
Do you have a geared extruder, the symptom you are describing sounds like some else, let me jump onto my support group to see if anyone knows what might be causing this.
@@FusionSource I changed the true to false. I have a base ender 3. I successfully compiled the code and then put on printer. When I move the z axis, it keeps backing the filament out of the tube. Could i have an issue with the board?
I think you need to have it set tot true, if it is a stock extruder, it is not geared.
@@FusionSource I have tried both true and false. The extruder moves, removing the filament, when I move the Z axis. I was talking to someone about the issue and they suggested switching the pins for the extruder. Not sure what to do. Going to try
@@dennorskegnome2874 Did you ever figure out a solution to this? I'm having the same problem.
Since updating following this guide my machine freezes after a few hours and no longer displays the full file name of what is printing - help required
Hi Mark, not sure why it would freeze, the only thing I can think of is the main board might be overheating, check the motherboard fan, I might be wrong but that is all I can think of.
@@FusionSource Fan is working fine, all is working fine in fact. I have gone through my whole machine so many times now. I am accepting it is just one of those things for now as it is becoming less prevalent, although still annoying when it does happen. It also only seems to happen on certain prints all related to lithophanes, be it an actual lithophane, display case, or lid. I had no problems with any of them prior to upgrading to 2.5.0.3. 2.x Bugfix worked ok. Have also tried slicing on differing slicers to no avail. I will work it out ...... eventually, lol
BTT SKR 1.4 won't flash firmware. Defective board.
What is the board type? It is asking me what board I am using. It's a BTT skr e3 v2 but I don't see that as an option
Hello i am new to this up dated my board to a skr mini 3 v 3.0 i have bl touch i tried to do as the vid showed and couldn't get it help thanks
I had an error I can’t fix and I need help it says #include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disable for this translation unit.
Hey ! really great guide, but there is one problem hat occured to me, Visual studio code tells me, that it cant find the path to a floder named include that should be somewhere in the files, what should I do ? nothing is working for me. thank you
Hi, what you can try do is what I did in this video, enable Windows Sandbox, there should be tutorials on how to do that, and do a fresh install of Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO as shown in the tutorial and compile a new version of the firmware. This makes sure that you have a clean install and that nothing interferes with the build. I really hope this helps.
Not getting a .pío file after I open with reveal in file explorer 😓
how do you enable the ezabl on the new skr firmware? th3d stopped updating for the skr mini e3 because btt threatened some lawsuit, and i'm afraid of messing something up. i haven't been able to get it to print reliably, but it's still better than nothing. if i get that working, the next step is the btt smart filament sensor...
I've edited the firmware to take a BL touch and when I go to compile the files it gives me about 20 errors and fails to compile. please help
WHY when there is compiled firmware directly from BigTreeTech?! This is a step backwards I think
Hey Blake, the reason why I had to do a custom Firmware update was because I needed to change the direction of the extruder, that is not in the pre-compiled firmware.
@@FusionSource Ahhh okay
Help... can't open the folder in the platform IO plugin.
Great guide. Thank you.
what do i do if visual code will not work??
Need help! My printer stopped extruding after doing this firmware update :( not sure why. I have an ender 3 pro with no modifications to the extruder so I entered, "INVERT_E0_DIR false" is that wrong? *Update for the heck of it I tried setting it to true, obviously no luck. Printer is now out of commission until I can figure this out.
Hi Eturian, I cover the geared extruder at around 08:00. If you have a geared extruder, you will have to update your esteps, I cover that in another video: th-cam.com/video/0bLd1ocwhBI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tutorial but i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong as i keep getting this error before i try and build {

Hi Kevin, did you download the firmware from the BigTreeTech GitHub? What you can try do is what I did in this video, enable Windows Sandbox, there should be tutorials on how to do that, and do a fresh install of Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO as shown in the tutorial and compile a new version of the firmware. This makes sure that you have a clean install and that nothing interferes with the build. I really hope this helps.
@@FusionSource Tried again but still no success following your tutorial i still get a build fail
So, thru this program you can upgrade/activate linear advance in normal Ender3 board? Or it has to be the newer version of marlin? Or this just works on SKR Mini?
Great video! Questions: is Marlin and BTT 2 different types of firmware? Can one flash a BTT board with Marlin firmware and vice versa? How so I know which is the right one for my BTT SKR Mini v2?
I keep getting this error and it stops compiling
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'platformio.managers.package':
PLEASE HELP!! I was watching someone else's video on installing the BL touch. I got in the firmware and changed a few settings as I thought they did. BUT somehow I messed up the card. Now when i turn on the printer the LCD has nothing on it, the touch screen version says " no Printer attached" . Can you or anyone else for that mater help me? I have tried to find a way to reset it to the way it was and have tried on my own but just cant get it back to the seeing the screen.. Plugged in factory screen and it just stays blank.. so not the screen.. I hope I didn't fry the board.
Hi, have you plugged it into EXP3 on the Screen?
@@FusionSource yes it was all worked till I tried to set up the BL touch.. The loading and powering lights light up and from research it appears to all be working. Just not the screen. I cant get the touch screen nor the factory screen to work. I have ordered a new board to start from scratch.. I guess I have a nice looking paper weight now.. Well I do enjoy your videos and will just stick to the person I can understand fully (you) and goes at a nice pace. The other video I watched was talking so fast and about stuff I guess he felt everyone with a 3D printer would understand. Saying commands and stuff that got me so lost. Now I have a BL touch I may never use if it is that hard to install and set up.. Well thank you for everything. I will search and see what Videos you have that will be helpful in my learning process. Thanks again!!
I have the marlin bugged card what do I change it to? I looked everywhere and can find anything about it.
I have the bugfix version too. Did you ever get an answer to this question?
Outstanding guide.... the "big channgels" didn't help much. Until I found this and @Handy Randy's comment. I needed to raise max E temp to 300. Even changing HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 300 in Configuration.h, I'm only getting 285c. Any help will be much appreciated.
Gained a sub!
Hi Eagle Eye, thanks for the compliment and the sub, special thanks to Handy Randy for sorting out your issue
Hi Eagle Eye, the standard hotends cannot go that high, do you have an all metal hotend? Let me do some research on this. Please be careful if you are using a hotend that is not all metal, the PTFE tube can let off dangerous fumes above 245 Degrees C
Thank you Eagle Eye, can I ask you to share my channel with friends on Whatsapp and facebook groups. Really trying to build this channel, thank you.
i'd try to do the same but something i've missed and the compiled firmware doesen't appear for my mini E3 and temp error E1.... send me if you can the right firmware.bin... tanks davmarl@tin.it
@@FusionSource just saw these messages.... thanks YT. Im on IG Eagle.Eye.Shooting. Yes, running all metal. Let's get this channel going. Great content
I did everything n order, and i have "Please update your includepath"
I'm considering getting one of these and just wanted to know if it's compatible with the Ender 3 V2 with it's Dwin screen?
how long does it ussualy take to compile? mines beeen building for over 30 minutes lol.all i changed was the aurther, name and nozel temp limits to 300C. i would think that would build pretty fast
Thank you! Has helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
I use the v2 version of this board. I also make use of the touchscreen lcd. Now for the LCD to work correctly I needed to uncomment a rule in the firmware, this worked out fine with your method, however, when I try to flash the firmware nothing happens. It just boots up normally. When I check the sdcard on my computer, the firmware.bin file is deleted. Any tips?
nevermind, I plugged the ribbon cable in the first instead of the third socket, flashed my firmware now, works like a charm.

Hi can anyone help we are group of Vietnam vets which are trying to get into 3 D printing to help with PTS but we have embarked on a fruitless journey. With have an old midgda printer with a duet wifi board which we updated to version 3 but we cannot get heaters to work just about ready to throw it out. We brought a cheap anycube mega zero and added a heat bed which worked fine for a while and now all we get is a unknown M140 s . We cannot reset the board or update it as nothing happens . We have tried to follow the video but it does not give us the same result as the screens are different.
So we are back we’re we started 12 months ago , do we give up and start another program we are not computor literate and every video people talk to fast . Can anyone help we need a config program for a duet wifi v3 and how to reset the mega zero
Thank you
This did save me. Up to a certain point and I thank you but I get 45 errors when loading the btt firmware folder. When building I get 3 errors. Includepath error and cant find firmware. Somebody please help.
Hi Jonnathan, I have found that doing it using Windows Sandbox makes a big difference.
Could have swapped wires on your stepper motor too
Absolutely, yes, but I prefer to do it in the code, also wanted to show how.
Great tutorial, have been following so many others on youtube with so many errors but just followed this one and instant compile, nothing missing etc, as I have had from the other tutorials. I have not loaded it into my printer yet, but am hoping that it will work. I am led to believe that the file on my MicroSD "firmware.cur", is the original, is this correct?
Yes, that is the current one. I am glad the tutorial helped.
Nice!
Thanks ;-)

As a engineer and a software developer, you should not change the author to your name you should of added a second entry to "edited by: xxxxx and date" so you can see in a pinch that it's not the original files.. an author change is almost plagiarism..
here i am not getting anything done cuase my shit doesnt want to generate a .BIN file
I bought a Bigtreetech SKR E3-DIP V1.1, ( nice board! )
I tried the software according to the above story!
but unfortunately it is nothing but crying,
It's not that easy at all!
I regret that I bought the Bigtreetech board ( by the fault of the software! )
give me my Arduino with Ramps and Arduino IDE and Marlin again.
error after error how can you say simple ??? that is not true!
also people on our forum it is all terribly difficult.
Unfortunately!
I've had and someone with more knowledge of software here, I had done everything right he said.
he would also look at the software at home! (but the software is really not easy!)
Friendly greetings from The Netherlands!

Sorry to hear the troubles you are having, I am not familiar with that board, I found the SKR Mini a great little board and I have not had any issues.
I’ve been watching videos for over a week on how to update the main board I replaced in a used mega zero because the out of the box board (skr mini mz v1.0) I purchased won’t print, likely due to there being no heated bed. I haven’t been able to make any progress because all the people like yourself(s) seem to have left normies in the dust wile living on the bleeding edge, and information pollution makes finding useful/relevant information an exercises in patience if it’s even possible.. is there anywhere someone like me who dosnt know how to code can get some support or at least learn the basics so can understand this wizardry?
Check out my email address in the about, pop me a mail and I will see how I can help.

Followed just to find out that the "V2.0" file only has the Ender5 support...the search continues, lol.
This should/would work if BTT control boards didn't have so ,any defects and if they did any quality control or testing of their products. A quick internet search reveals how many customers spend many many hours trying to get the boards they bought working with no solutions. Chinese manufacturers destroy innovation and their competitors by selling very poor quality products at dirt cheap prices. Their quality is terrible but ultimately it's our own fault because we're too cheap to pay for anything more expensive than a crappy ender 3.
so damn complicated, ain't got time for this shit
