CR-10 With SKR Mini - Firmware Upgrade!

I have had a lot of people ask for videos covering CR-10 firmware upgrades so I will be making several videos covering the process. This video covers upgrading the firmware if you have an SKR Mini installed in your CR-10. It covers everything you need to know to complete the upgrade.

If you have any questions about the content covered in this video, feel free to leave a comment below with them. I try to reply to all comments within 48 hours.

This video solved a problem that has had my four printers down for a year. Thank you!

[DrOnline]

Thank you for the high-quality videos and kudos for your prompt, professional, and kind-hearted responses to followers.

In spite of the fact that I have done my own VSCode/marlin builds for other custom 3D printers, it was really nice to have your guide for a new printer that was an off the shelf CR10 and a replacement BTT SKR E3 Mini V2.0 board. Pointers to the config files, pointers to the VSCode steps... all the things you forget when it was 2 years since your last firmware build... Thanks.

Dude! I never would have figured this out on my own. Much thanks!

Thank you for this video. You helped me to install and setup my CR10S. Thanks!

I did this upgrade last week to my original CR10 12v systems, I used a mixture of your videos and other’s help since there wasn’t much out on this board. Ended up having to start with taking a config from the skr mini e3 v2 and updating it for the v3 then making the little firmware changes from there.

You do a great job making these videos.

Well I couldn't find that show_sd thing in the current build of Marlin... ?

[Damjanhd]

What I really miss is replacing motherboard on CR10 MAX also with connecting wires and configuring marlin firmware.

[bellmore]

Can you show how to install and wire the board into the printer?

Very helpful video. Thank you so much! Upgraded my original CR-10 to this board with the BL Touch. Only thing that I couldn't figure out was that changing CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME in the config did not reflect on the LCD screen. I changed it from Ender-3 Pro to CR-10 but it still displayed Ender-3.

Thank you, just got my printer working again after having to replace the motherboard. I got this printer from a friend and it already had the E3 V3 motherboard with TFT 3.5 touchscreen. My question to you or anyone that reads this comment is, what do I need to do to get the BTT Touchscreen to work? Marlin works great, but I prefer the touchscreen interface. It just says, “no printer attached”. I’ve changed the baud rates And placed the ribbon cable in the other two slots on the touchscreen board… The third slot got Marlin to work(EXP3 I think?), but I think the first slot was the one that the touch screen worked in with the old motherboard.

Much appreciated! Thank you!

I noticed that the SHOW_SD_PERCENT is missing. I couldn't find code for it anywhere.

Hi great video, I have a question to you SKR Mini e3 v3.0 or v2.0 for CR10s, whats de best deal?. Thanks and keep goint excellent content.

[azmansugi]

Hi Rob, I downloaded and installed that firmware to flash my CR10S, It doesn't seem to work. Would you please let me know why.

[apwelsh]

Does the SonicPad still work after these upgrades w/o create a custom printer profile for it?

[DrOnline]

Is there a way to update the screen firmware on the CR10 without taking the darn thing apart? What were they thinking?

[dilloninboden]

I just bought the Bigtreetech btt skr e3 v3 with the tft35 both mode screen and have a bltouch and I can’t get anything to work right

[jonesben]
