#Bigtreetech #SKRMiniE3 #Ender5
NOTE: The Ender 5 Plus requires a new display (at this time) to upgrade to this board. Please see my other Ender 5 Plus videos using Bigtreetech boards.
ALSO NOTE: There are many reports of people having problems using this board with the stock BLTouch on the Ender 5 Plus. It does not happen to everyone. It did not happen when I tested it myself. The only known potential fixes are switching to a CRTouch, switching to Klipper, or there has been a case of just needing to update the touchscreen firmware to the latest.
With that being said, I CANNOT and DO NOT recommend this board on the Ender 5 Plus at this time. There are too many people having these issues and, while I've improved it in my latest 2.1.1 firmware, I have not been able to provide a fix for this issue. So far it appears to be an electrical issue that software has not been able to work around.

What do you recommend instead?
I recommend the SKR 2 or SKR 3 (just released beta firmware) at this time. The SKR 2 has been running great in my printer.
whick kind of problem with bltouhc?
I was talking a rep at Microcenter, and he stated that if you change the BL touch to use the 5 pin Z probe, and change the firmware, it will fix the issue. Have you tried this?
Supported now for ender 5 plus on multiple firmwares off the e3 mini v3
Just ordered a new Mini 3.0 for my E5 Plus using your link. This was the exact video I was looking for. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
I'm going to do this same upgrade to my CR-10S. So thanks for the details about how to make this happen. You and Chris Riley put out good content like this. Keep up the good work.
Another great video, Kris. Meticulous, as usual. Complete with blooper reel. Thanks so much for this.
My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
did this upgrade on one of two of my ender 5 plus'. its currently running its first print and doing a beautiful job. thank you for making these videos!!! cant wait to flip my other printer, still undecided which board im going to run
Great to hear! Enjoy!
Did you get the TFT35 V3 board from the link?
@@peterhe3746 I caught the Tft70 on sale on fabreeko🤘🏼
Hey man ! where did you get the firmware?
Nice thorough video as usual. 4K really helps to see more details. Also thanks for the new firmware files!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the production upgrades are not only visible but useful!
Epic, thanks for not forgetting the older boards like the mini 2
As always, great information. Thanks for adding e5plus into it.
First I heard about running separate z motors.
PS: bloopers at the end. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise.
great video..we were chatting on FB earlier, just got my E3 v3...should have watched this video first. didnt realize I needed a connector to the "Always On" wires..should be here tomorrow. Keep up the great work.
Glad I could help!
@@kerseyfabs finally able to install..but the hot end fan doesnt turn on. I heat the nozzle up to 200 and its suppose to come on around 50/60. I know its plugged into the right port.
I just got the E3 v3.0 and TFT35 up and running on my ender 5 plus. Thanks for the vids and the firmware!
Glad I could help! Congrats!
keep up the good work and thanks for your contribution to the e5p/e5 community :)
My pleasure!
I cant thank you enough. I just bought this board to replace the original Creality noisy board I have in my Ender 5 Plus with a BL Touch. So much easier when you do the firmware for the community!
I'm happy I could help.
So his firmware works out the box for the e5plus?
Great channel, top level of professionalism !
Thank you. Another great video. My Ender 5 is now running smooth. Next up my 5 plus
Great to hear!
Thank you for your video and firmware! Thought mine was bricked until I tried your firmware. Thank you very much!!
Looks amazing. I will probably try it. I love the look on that board.
Go for it!
Well this was an awesome video. I appreciate your in-depth review. I would also say that big tree definitely got their money's worth out of you. I had one of these boards in my shopping cart on Amazon this afternoon, and it would have been delivered by Tuesday. Waited a little bit too long and now I'm not expecting it until March. Hoping to have better success with this board than the skr2 cuz I never got it running on the ender 5 plus.
Thanks for watching! I hope everyone can get their hands on one now!
Thanks for mentioning the friction fit for the SD card. I wasn’t sure if my SD slot was broken or if the friction fit was purposeful.
No problem. I think they had too many broken SD slots with the old one, so they changed it.
Great video! I was working on this paired with a tft35 in a Ender 5 plus. I finished today, before you posted your video. :) Anyway, it made me happy to see that others were using this combo.
I have heard that this board needs a different screen to the regular TFT35, was this the case with your instalation or were you able to fernangle the FW?
@@AndrewAHayes I got my own firmware working, but my bl touch won't activate.
@@marcusmannes3410 Check your firmware again to make sure you have that activated and the original z endstop device commented out, some people have had to plug the black and white wires into where the mechanical z endstop would go instead of with the 3 BL Touch wires plugin, try that you cant harm anything
@@AndrewAHayes I have checked multiple times, I think my bltouch pin is dead.
@@marcusmannes3410 There is a very common fault with the BL Touch having bad connections with the Ender 5 Plus when assembled by Creality, you can check if this is the issue by taking a small Allen wrench and push down on each side of the JST connector on the BL Touch and then power up it may look well connected but may not have a good electrical contact, also if the Hotend is parked in the back left corner it reports a flashing red error with the BL Touch.
thx man for the tutorial i normally don't find good tutorials for ender 5
I do my best! Thanks for watching.
CR-10S: My bed stopped heating, so I replaced the connectors and it still doesn't heat. Now I have an SKR Mini E3 V3.0 and Touch Screen on it's way! I also ordered the Ferrule Kit; thanks for making me understand why those are important 🤘🤘
my new ender 5 pro is stuck on blue screen after firmware update from creality site.... cant get ahold of them so i am hooking this board up now. funny how faulty these printers are for such a simple design.... oh and expensive lol
I found out, after spending $300+, that it was a $10 MOSFET that needed to be replaced... Regardless, it's 5 years old, so I'm happy to have a "new" system 🤘🤘
Your a very polished, succinct, presenter. Nice video!
You're very kind! Thanks for the comment!
I am ordering parts for my E5+ now! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
nice one thanks again iam looking at few cards atm makes me smile
there are so much more these days i like it but at same time
... thats coool oh this one 2 or this one nah this one :))
May i ask your opinion
whats is like 2023 best way for ender 5 plus
i got trust in it but it needs a better board
Table design and some tricks should make it really good and fast machine
I saw more so i gonna look it again still
i like a challange and allot of options but especially Quallity
i rather do it slow if its better in the end
May i ask
what card did give you best result in the ender 5 plus mr kersey
and gives me at same time nice options like double triple extruders :))
still thanks
this kind of video's helps allot in choices
and now i am less scared and dare to put out some money in it
greets from holland keep it up
THX for that superbe Pin out Walk Through. All the right tips for the upgrade.
A Tip from me: For removing the glued connectors use a hot air station or a hair dryer to soften the glue.
then you can easily remove the connectors without the danger of poking the board or cables.
those Outtakes Doe! LMAO!! thanks for all of this...about to start installing my board this weekend!
No problem! Good luck and thanks for watching!
dude ive been updating firmwares like crazy and for the life of me could not get my ender 5 running with this setup. I was beyond me I though the board was bad. Loaded this firmwarm and boom! Were printing agian!
Thanks!
That's awesome! Glad I could help!
@@kerseyfabs dude she’s never ran better thank you so much I was about to start over and rebuild her.
Thanks for the video Kersey! Does the Mini E3 board support the stock touch screen from the Ender 5 plus?
Not with my firmware. That would take a lot of extra work in the firmware and the upgrade.
Thank you for the great video, and above all, for the bloopers in the end! :)
Glad you like them!
@@kerseyfabs Nice to see your personality come through on the blooper reel. Keep up the great informative videos.
I have the new mini v3 in my ender 3 pro for a few months now. I got it right around when it came out. It's pretty flawless. I absolutely love it. Great price too. Getting rid of my ender 3 pro and upgrading to an ender 5 pro. 100% swapping my v3 board into my new ender 5.
How that go?. I'm thinking of swapping my creality 4.2.2 board for the skr
@@twiztid664 I had the 4.2.2 board originally as well. Do it. Totally worth it. Stil been running strong zero issues. But it's not a simple plug and play. The only things that sucked is that for my CR touch I had to swap two of the wires in the JST connector for it to work on the board. Wasn't hard at all super easy but figuring out why it wasn't working was a pain at first but there's a really good guide online that explains all the pinouts on the board for you. Just had to look up which color wires were what on my cr touch. Same thing would go for ther BL touch as well. And ontop of that the firmware that came out for the SKR mini v3 at the time just wasn't working right. So I had to compile my own firmware which again wasn't hard but annoying as hell. After those 2 things though it's been flawless. Beautiful prints and my printer is insanely quiet now. Worth every penny. Again these issues were when it first came out so I'm sure the current firmware is all fixed and you won't need to compile your own anymore. Overall I'd recommend it over the 4.2.2 board for sure. And the mini v3 price is good.
Been waiting for this... Thank you!!!!
I hope it's everything you needed!
@@kerseyfabs Can you do a video on klipper with this board
Good review of the board differences and what they mean.
Thank you sir!
Thanks for the video! Do you think this would be worth installing on a Voxelab Aquila?
great video , hepled me a bunch!
I'm glad to hear it!
Will you being doing a video on the SKR 2? your coverage of the SKR 1.4 was great
Excellent video, Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Another fantastic video! I bought my first 3d printer (ender 5 plus) and a Bigtreetech SKR Mini E3 V3.0 as well for my ender 5 plus after watching your videos. You explain things very well. I also bought a ender 5 pro and SKR Mini E3 V3.0. Would your firmware work for this printer as well?
I'm with ender5plus, skr mini e3 v3 ,klipper
Do you have a problem with bltouch or which FW are you using?
No one does board reviews better! I'm probably going to stick with the 2.0 at this time, I'm pretty happy with what I got. I need to troubleshoot my filament runout sensor, I'm not sure how to verify that the board is seeing the Input correctly. Not sure if you have an idea. Can't wait to see what else you have plans to review, really looking for forward to more multi color nozzle solutions.... Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yeah, I don't see any need to go from V2.0 to V3.0. There are some software ways to check out that filament runout but the easiest way is to stick a small piece of filament in the sensor, start a print with no filament loaded in the nozzle and see what happens when you remove that small piece of filament.
BTW - that new link you gave to the pre made JST connectors are for 1.25mm JST connectors (refers to the inter-pin distance) - the plugs that are required are 2.54mm (TBF they do look identical in the picture, but having tried to make up the 2.54mm ones I hate to think how difficult making the 1.25mm ones are). They are available on amazon if you look (although I had to buy 50) - I won't include the link because I'm in the UK.
Been sick for a while. Looks like you have upgraded your cooling while I was gone. You looked at a Trident 350? Would that be giving up to much Z for you? 48V octopus pro is looking pretty interesting, if the chip shortage ever ends. Hope all is well.
*FRAAAAACKK!* LOL! This was fantastic. Thanks, Kris!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Maybe this is a question that speaks for itself, but I'd just like to confirm it ^^' would it be possible to change the vref of the extruder stepper motor with this board? Also love the little bloopers at the end keep up the great work!
These have popped up recently in adverts, so I am very pleased to see this video. Links followed and bought for the 5 plus.
Great video as always, love the honesty and pointing out the flaws, it makes your videos way more realistic and relatable to expected results.
I've noticed all the ads too. Good timing! I appreciate your comments. I always try to put myself into the content and be as honest as possible.
Great video , like always. Thank You.
Got questions, probably very noobish one.
Will LCD 12864 work with this board and will it be appropriate in terms of functionally or rather better off to get dedicated TFT35 ???
Thank You.
Thanks! A 12864 will work just fine.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for all of the updates firmware files Kris and awesome video as normal! I Lost my old source code set I downloaded from you a while back and took me a while to find these links. At one point, you provided a source for the ender 5 plus with the hero me installed with relevant margins and offsets. Any chance you could supply these again? I can’t find the original video these were listed on. Thanks again, Hal

Hi Kris, I currently am using an Ender 5 plus and am considering installing the BTT SKR 2 version B board with 2209 steppers. I am still using the 8 bit board now and am nervous in upgrading the board with the new firmware install. In your experience, have you had any major issues when flashing new firmware? Which firmware do you suggest using with this board and printer set up? Will I need to install a new display with this board also?
Your videos are excellent and extremely well done. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work.
I tried updating my 2.2 silent board and now everything works mostly but I can't talk to it or get any firmware to work from a computer or SD card. When connecting to a computer it says the printer is talking jiberish.
Thank you for this, very useful!!!
You're very welcome!
Wow!!! Great video!!! Will this board work with the Ender 5 Pro?
Thanks! Yes it will!
this was a great video. I really hope a version for the ender 5 plus is in the works. even if it was a little addendum video to this which added the extra bits that were relevant to the plus.
I believe the only difference would be the BLtouch (which I talked through) and the filament run-out sensor. So, I won't be doing an additional video. I think I covered it.
@@kerseyfabs that's fair enough, is there anything one should know regarding the colour touchscreen of the plus or is it just a case of making sure I have the plus firmware when doing the install?
@@LegalEliminator You can't use the stock touch screen on the Ender 5 Plus. You must upgrade to the Bigtreetech TFT.
@@kerseyfabs oh, well that answers my question. That wasnt noted in the video. which tft is the right one tho?
@@FaZeredemption3 Sorry about that. Any of the Bigtreetech TFTs. The one most people use is the TFT35 V3.0 but they make larger ones as well. amzn.to/3wycXrp
do you have a pre compiled firmware that covers the bl touch and a filament sensor wired to the SKR E3 mini V 3.0? using the EO stop port on the board? I am upgrading a basic Ender 5 (no plus or pro)
Awesome video. I like you step by step guides on upgrades. I ordered mine. I want to swop my stock ender 5 mother board for 2 reasons. noise and I want to make use of linear advance. I wanted to hear has linear advance been activated in the firmware in you description? Further, I see the is no examples of ender 5 in the marlin config files. I am sure a few people are not so clued up on creating a custom marlin firmware build (or maybe its just me). Do you mind doing a tutorial? Regards.
Yes, Linear Advance is enabled in my firmware. You just need to calibrate and set your K value. I know a lot of people want that tutorial. I'll see what I can do.
Hey love the video. Do you have a firmware that’s available for each Z axis to have its own stepper motor to be able to use G34 on an Ender 5 plus. I’m a noob to firmware and haven’t really got into it
Hi, thank you for your work, I was wondering if you have enabled the filament run out in your firmware for the ender 5 plus with bl touch connected to z probe
You got a video ready for using the OG with the Ender 5 plus? It's available via using the Klipper firmware currently, with a minor rewire of the cable from what I've read, just not any video showing it that I've found yet!
You took too long so I've compiled it myself, all working now :) Will share the file with whoever. Need to create a walkthrough for everyone next so they can do the LCD cable wiring correctly and how to flash the LCD controller with the required update. It's honestly not too difficult, and people would appreciate a video on what to do (I'm a text based person, so not me :P )
Kris, thank you, Great Video, I have been switched to BIGTREETECH SKR MINI E3 used in the Ender-5-Plus but I need a firmware where BL Touch is attached to the Z-Probe specifically for the 5 plus. By Any chance do you have one. In your video you also to refer to correct connection to BL Touch as Z-Stop. Will you please point to the video or instruction (to do this in the correct polarity). Thank you once again for great work and thank you in advance for your answers.
Have the issues mentioned in the video description been mostly fixed? I want to know if I should get the V3 or the V2, because I definitely want to swap my E5+ board out with a 32-bit board.
Another great video! Only thing I wish with your firmware is that you would share the actual files (.h, adv.h, pins, etc) to if we need to adjust a couple things we could (runout sensor on Ender 5, etc). Still, I appreciate all your effort you put in to helping all of us! I have the mini v2 on my Ender 5 now so unless I find a great deal I doubt I would upgrade until something would happen to this one.
I ALWAYS publish my source. You can find it on my GitHub.

@@kerseyfabs Thank you - I always forget about github!
Thank you for the excellent videos, helped me tremendously with installing the board into my Ender 5 Plus. I am having issues with the auto bed leveling not working correctly with the latest 2.1.1 firmware (as you have alluded to in the description). Do you have any tips for trouble shooting or fixing? Is it fixable, or should I move to the V2 board? Thanks!
I'm having the same problem, what did you end up doing?
@@TwinkTwins I ended up switching to the V2 board. I also switched to a firmware i found on the ender 5 plus reddit group. It been working pretty reliably for me.
There's a new potential fix out. I'll see if I can get a build to test.
Hey this is great! I was specifically looking to upgrade my stock ender 5 (regular) board and this sounds just like what I'd like and your video and firmware makes it easy and painless! Question, is Arc support enabled in this firmware? Can I process my gcode via arcwelder and the printer can print it? I hate how curves stutter while printing without arc printing support. Thanks!
Yep! ARC support included and you shouldn't have any stuttering with this board.
@@kerseyfabs omg man, that's it! I'm getting this! May you have wonderful blessings for providing a cohesive all inclusive easy to implement solution!
Do you recommend backing up the EEPROM from our old board and loading it once the new board and firmware is installed? Or is it better to write down the values from the old board and manually enter them into the new one? My board arrives today and I'm trying to do some prep work.
I usually hook up over the USB port, run M503 and then copy and paste the settings I want to save to the new board.
I just did this in a Sovol SV05 which started with a Creality 4.2.2 board, I wanted TMC2209 stepper drivers so installed the BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0. All of my issues were firmware based I burned up a CR Touch because I thought it was electrical, it turned out to be firmware. I replaced the CR Touch with a BL Touch. Ended up building Marlin from scratch.
Great video, i used it as a guide and my E5+ now is back to work after a fried axis drive. Only issue as the print start after homing X-Y-Z (have cr-touch) suddenly runs X-Y fast and clash, the thing doesn't happen if a print tuzi gcode that came with the printer SD but with all my GCODE from CURA previously printed does. Any tips to solve the issue? Thanks
It's 2022 Kersey, time to make the switch to klipper 😉
I'd be happy to but I support a lot of people on this channel that aren't interested in Klipper or don't want to fool with it. You may see some videos on it soon but I'll keep supporting Marlin for those that like to load and go.
Hi is there any chance you can do a Setup guide of the Sonic Pad using the BKR 3 Mini on the Ender 5 Plus please would really be great thankyou
hi kris. thank you i have found this very useful. this is my first time of trying anything like this and it has really helped. i have an issue with the firmware. it does not install. while downloading it i have somehow manage to get express zip as its default open app. would this effect the running of the firmware and if so how could i correct it
Hi did you ever get this working with the Ender 5 Plus correctly I have the board and unsure whether to invest in the BTT Screen, I have the BLtouch on my Ender 5 Plus
Hi Kris, thanks a lot for the great content. Your channel is probably the best on Ender 5 Plus upgrades. To be honest I’m a bit lost with BTT motherboard options. I saw your different benchmarks, I have the feeling that the SKR E3 Turbo is the best for my requirements: dual extruder, EEPROM settings storage, and a board that can evolve with the next. But I have the feeling that this MB is no more produced by BTT. The SKR v1.4 Turbo seems the new go to MB but without this EEPROM option. I would love to have your recommandation on which board is the best for you? (Without Case modification and money consideration). Thanks a lot 🙏
Thank you for the kind words. Right now I'm using the SKR 2 and I've very happy with it. With that being said, I know the SKR 3 is out and I'm going to work on that when/if I get time.
@@kerseyfabs Thanks for your reply 😊 SKR 3 seems indeed to be a nice board, maybe a bit overkill 😅 waiting for your review then!
I want to see the out come from the new board and how you liked it? I fell in love with the lerdge k board because of your videos. Thanks.
It's been working great so far in my Ender 5, no complaints. It's also nice to have some up-to-date firmware installed on it. I was still running relatively stock firmware on my old 8-bit board.
Great video! Which version of your FW download supports Ender 5 Pro w/BL Touch connected to Z endstop?
I believe this is the file you're looking for: drive.google.com/file/d/1i-GdUXOLjFB8O5mNnY7nr-swB2JnRPYW/view?usp=drive_link
@@kerseyfabs Thanks. It seems that the firmware I need is somewhere in between! My machine is a E5 Pro with the BLTouch configured in conjunction with the Z-stop. Your firmware for the 5 Pro is either "No BLTouch" or "BLTouch connected to Probe". Thoughts?
Did you try the one I linked to? I think that's the one you want.
I've tried it multiple times - never gets to the Marlin boot screen - just sits on a blank screen. @@kerseyfabs
I would LOVE to know how to hook up my BL Touch on my Ender 5 PLUS to my BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0. I have a Black rectangle plug with Orange, Brown and Red wires and a White plug (same style as on the stock x,y,z stop plugs) with a Black and White wire.
Thanks for a great video. I've currently got an Ender 5 Pro with a silent motherboard (with a BLTouch) - can I just pretend that it is an Ender 5 for the purposes of working out which firmware to use? Also, its currently connected to the Z endstop - I didn't realise there was an alternative. Any advice on which is better?
Yes, absolutely. Same deal. Functionally, there's no difference in the connectors. The firmware just had to know wear it's connected.
hello! thansk for your video, I have a question. what is the caliber for the wires in order to buy the correct ferrules for them?
I recommend buying a multipack. There are up to three different gauges usually and buying the kit with the crimper is the easiest to get started. I have a video on applying ferrules which includes links. th-cam.com/video/l7mxGVF-QGE/w-d-xo.html
How to you set it up with an BL Touch from Ender 5 Plus?
You have 2 plugs, one with, white and black. and one with Orange, Red, brown.
I have the BTT SKR MIni E3 v2.0 board. But I really think I'm going to upgrade to this board just so I can have that extra fan header. I'm really excited to have a silent printer when I'm not printing.
Either board works great. I do like the extra header though. My printer is almost completely silent when not in use. This means I can leave it on and ready to receive prints.
I seem to be having an issue with the cr touch on my ender 5 Pro, correct firmware installed and with the z end stop unplugged when I run a bed level test the nozzle will move to front left lower down and raise slightly before giving me an m112 shutdown. With the z end stop connected it will try to do everything however the probe won't deploy
does your firmware for the ender 5 support the big tree tech display?
Ive got a customer right now wanting to put the skr mini 3.0 mainboard, TFT35-E3 V3.0.1 screen, & a Sprite Pro extruder on his Ender 5 Plus. He messed up the original ribbon cable to wire harness connector cable, & provided what seems to me to be the sprite ribbon cable from the s1. Would you say it would be safe to do this install by cutting the other end & pinning new wire harness connectors on? Cant find anyone else that has done all these upgrades.
THX !!!!
Is Polish available in the menu Ender 5 Marlin?
Tried your configuration on my Ender 5 Pro with BL Touch with the SKR Mini E3 V3 and it just jammed up all the steppers. Any updates?
Hey, thank you a lot! The instructions are awesome and not over-detailled. It was a great help! There is only one issue, I used the firmware, you provided and it seems, ist doesn't support dual-Z. During printing, everythig ist fine, but in the end of the auto-homing cycle, only one Z-stepper goes to +5 mm, the other one ist blocked. Ist there a workaround?
I appreciate all of that. On the Mini E3 boards though the two Z stepper ports are connected to the same driver. There's nothing to configure or setup. Just make sure you have both steppers connected to the board.
So... I now connected both z spindles with a timing belt and ran both steppers seperately - it worked perfectly fine, when only one stepper is connected electrically The problem only shows up, when each stepper is connected to it's own z-port.
I now simply use an Y-cable to connect both steppers to only one port. For additional security, I leave the timing belt installed. That works for me, but the mysterium remains... Thank you for your help :)
I just ordered this board and the screen to run on my ender 5 plus but I’m still not sure if this is the board for since I want to run z auto align just like your past video. Any advice would be appreciated thanks in advanced.
If I have a Creality 4.2.2 silent board (steppers in standalone mode) will it be worth upgrading to a SKR Mini, or would it be better to upgrade other parts of the printer?
hi
many thanks for your great video instruction. i have an ender 5 plus. i followed this to the letter, re-named the firmware file as you mentioned. switched it on and apart from red flashing led on the board, nothing else is happening! no fans nothing! the only movement is the cr touch probe initializes itself and thats it! help!!
Bought this board for my ender 5 pro with cr touch. Installed everything and all axis move and cr touch blinks red then goes purple but when hit auto home the z axis goes down some but the cr touch never deploys again to refind home and the printer stops. What is wrong?
My printer got unsusable because it keeps trying to print outside the board, how is this possible? I thought this would be plug and play. All the wires are in the right place, first it homes and then it makes the test line on the other side of the bed, it makes no sense, tried to compile marlin but it also does not help. It like it is reading the gcode of the slicer wrong.
Which is the best replacement board for Ender 5 plus? BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 or BTT Turbo?
Great work. Can you post the configuration files for the skr mini with bltouch and the tft35 on there as well? for the ender 5 plus.
All of my files are always released through GitHub: github.com/KerseyFabrications/Marlin/tree/2.1.1-BTT-SKR-mini-E3-3.0-Ender5Plus
Testing your firmware, it's not got the Z offset wizard turned on so I want to compile my own firmware.
On the marlin and BTT GitHub repos I can't find the ender 5 config files for the SKR Mini E3 V3.
Are you able to let us know where you found them or upload them?
I got a question. I'm looking to build the marlin firmware by myself but I can't seem to find the config/example file for the Ender 5 / Pro for the BIGTREETECH SKR MINI E3 V3.0 board. Could you help me with that?
I'm going to use this board in an Ender 3 Pro to Switchwire conversion.
Where exactly can we find the Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h files that you used to generate your firmware downloads? On your github it seems that the configs now point to MarlinFirmware. I'm trying to just modify my Ender 5 Plus firmware to use the probe connection rather than the Z-stop connection for the BLTouch, so it should be a simple mod of your .h files if I'm able to get to them.
Thanks!
got it all installed on my ender 5 plus- x,y,z and the extruder are all working, when i have my bl touch shoot the probe out it does and brings it back in without an issue- except when i try to home everything then i get a bltouch error restart with m999... any ideas?
Kris, I had a follow up comment. First, my Ender 5 Plus is stock as it ships with just the BL Touch auto bed leveling feature factory installed. I haven't modified it in any way other than replacing the stock main board with the Creality silent version board. And that leads to my experience with those silent boards. I installed both that later failed. They both worked flawlessly initially. The first worked for a couple months, and it successfully completed dozens of prints, and it failed appearing to be a problem with homing and seemed to be a problem with the BL Touch, but ended up actually being the silent board that had failed. The second one only worked for a couple weeks, and just failed today with the z-drive crapping out. The z steppers check out okay, so the growling and slow attempts at motion are surely caused by the driver failing. I attempted to adjust the stepper operating voltage, but that didn't solve the problem, thus I ordered the BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 and am here asking for your help.
I replied to the emails you sent.
I'll do my best to answer your questions. The BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 is a drop-in replacement and firmware installation should be easy. The only thing that is extra is that I don't support the stock display with my firmware. There are several technical reasons for this but, bottom line, it's not supported. So you will have to replace the display with one like the BTT TFT35. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Great video! I did the upgrade on my Ender 5 pro . Having a hard time getting the firmware to update to Ender 5 pro . It’s on Ender 3 ?! Is there a video on how to load the firmware on the printer?
1) Download my firmware from the description for your printer configuration.
2) Rename the file to firmware.bin and copy it to the SD card that came with the board.
3) Insert it in the mainboard when it's powered down.
4) Power on the printer and it should automatically flash it.
5) You can verify it by the info on the display or making sure the file was renamed to firmware.cur.
Using this with a tft35, I can only use marlin and not the included BTT included on it. Cannot get my baudrate to connect with it anymore 😪.
@8:53 you mentioned the 5th driver could do a auto left & right level on the z axis with Marlin. In what scenario would this be helpful and should that be a deal breaker to buying a SKR3 vs Mini SKR3 e3 v3.0 for Ender 5 PLUS?
It helps when it comes to making sure the bed hasn't dropped at all or you bump one of the screws. It's not a deal breaker but I nice to have.
which wires are going to go to BL/CR touch section on the new SKR mini board.
Great video and nice firmware i have the whiteoud blt but its 220 x 220 kan jou make 235 x 235 vscode dos not work White me
