The timing of this video could not have been better. Thank you. You're one of the best channels in this community 👍

I'm 74 years young and brand new to this, Chris has been a lifesaver! He does talk a little fast but I know how to back up and play it over again. My new BTT SKR is working great, now on to his other video on how to add a BL touch. Thank you very much Chris.

[scotchman]

Best tutorial available anywhere. If you're having issues with getting your printer working, just get the hardware that you see in this video and follow along. Chris is going step-by-step which might seems unnecessary but if you're new to 3d printing it's very much appreciated. Keep up the good work Chris!

[BrinkersLab]

I am glad there are people that take the time to make videos like this to help others learn. I love watching your videos and have learned quite a bit from them. Thank you for doing what you do!!

[AverageNerdGuy]

Just put my SKR v2 in my Ender 3 Pro, The drivers are CRAZY SILENT with these step motors and it runs SOOOO much smoother and faster. I was super concerned about building a new firmware for my board but this tutorial was perfect and taught me a TON!!!! Such a great upgrade. Gonna put in my BLTouch tomorrow or sometime next week, I also have the FTF70 7" touchscreen to do but wanted to get this installed and the machine speed up so when I print the casing it doesnt take me forever and I get the best quality. For now this get the thing running flawlessly!! Thanks again.

Possibly the best video on the SKR Mini E3 V2. You get right to the point.

Got this board last week and added this and the TFT35 V3 to the ender 5 plus. Got 2 very minor issues related to re configuring a pin for an extra fan and hotend trying to move beyond the the beds x/y bounds.

Think this tackles the re configuration issue. Will give that a try later.

[infinitesoulluos]

Chris your explanation is outstanding. I'm waiting for my Ender 5 to arrive & ordered the SKR V2.0 board with it. I am a completely new to 3D printing this will be my first time & gotta say its a bit intimidating having to config things at this level. Watching most videos has left me a bit confused, esp since I have never used Github before & your style of explanation has given me way more confidence - much appreciation, well done!

[mmill]

I don’t understand how this channel has only 35k keep up the good work!

[saltysteel]

Just ordered the board and touchscreen combo. This was the best video covering Marlin. I've done 1 Marlin config 32bit board before, but I needed a serious refresher. Lol
I'll have to tweak my E steps, turn on Auto PID function because it's so handy, set bed size to 235x235, tweak BLtouch probe offset from nozzle, and that should be about it.

[neiloler]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, helps take the fear out of upgrading the board. 🙂

[jaytee]

Quick warning. Just did this exactly how Chris did it. Found out that the colors for the hot end thermistor and heated bed were swapped. To avoid any problems, do the following:
1. Once configured, set the heated bed to 50c and feel it for any temp change.
2. If it does not change in temp or it shows the temperature of the nozzle increasing, simply swap the connections and repeat. Don't just assume that the wiring is correct like I did. Made the mistake and my heated bed started increasing in temperature almost immediately. Error was given and had to swap the wires. Fixed the issue. Just wanted everyone to know.

[chrisstock]

This got me sorted from start to finish, thank you!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[christeague]

Question for you.
Thank you!! :)
So I have spent the better part of the last 24hrs trying to troubleshoot my 3Pro to the point ordered a 2nd BLTouch for troubleshooting. I swapped out the Creality 4.2.7 for the Mini E3 with their touchscreen combo I got from Amazon the other day. Z would not home at all, just sit there are deploy/retract the BLTouch needle a few times then timeout. Watched this video combined with your BLTouch one and I obviously was missing something before because now it is working again!
You are going to be my first stop from now on, for troubleshooting. I am so happy right now, you have no idea. THANK YOU !! :)

[pixel_arc]

First of all, thank you for the installation guide, took me a while but got it done. Second, wow. Wow those drivers make the motos illegally quiet, I knew the difference would be big but I didn't think that it would drop the steppers noise below that of the stock fans, guess I need to upgrade those too now.

[rambokd]

Chris, the fan pins you used for the hot end are setup for the MB fan, It’s is controlled by firmware but the reason it came on is during any movement by the steppers the MB fan comes on which was always on on the 1.2. My hot end fan is on all the time with the constant power setup...cheers as I got further in the video I saw you figured it..

[hawkermech]

Once again, this and your BLTouch video was a huge help in setting up my new CR-10s. Thanks!

[stuartcrann]

Cheers Chris. If I'd actually seen the fan cover mod, I wouldn't even be doing this! The reason I bought the board was because I dropped a couple of nuts in the fan (Didn't realise that's where they'd gone) whilst doing a fan upgrade on the hot end.
Said nuts fell through the fan and shorted the OEM board when I turned it on.

[john-andrewthomson]

Chris you films are the best man, the detail of description is grate (THANK YOU). I wish I had gone for the v2.0 board instead of the v1.2 board just for the FAN1_PIN control, cant control it on the 1.2 board

[chlevnikdeathclaw]

Super job with the video! My new BTT SKR board arrived today and this video included everything I needed to get it running and then add my own settings and adjustments to my customized Ender 3 printer.

[thehappyextruder]

Quick note Chris on the TFT touch display if the Black cable is inserted on the wrong slot on the screen end it will give Heatbed Temp fluctuations, I did have it on the wrong slot and it happened on my Ender 3, swapped it to the correct position and it went way, awesome little board with many features.
