In today&#8217;s article I will try to expose some of the characteristics of these electronics, as well as their novelties.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, according to BigTreeTech, this board is <strong>fully compatible with Marlin and RepRapFirmware firmwares<\/strong>, another firmware developed by the well-known electronics company <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.duet3d.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">Duet3D<\/a><\/strong> and for which the manufacturer is firmly betting with this new product.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a regular visitor on our blog, you will remember that they are not the first boards that this company develops for the Ender 3 model.<\/p>\n<p>Some time ago we told you about the SKR MINI E2 V2.0 in a previous article <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/en\/btt-skr-mini-e3-v20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New revision of BTT SKR MINI E3 V2.0 for your Ender 3 printer<\/a><\/strong>.

Do not hesitate to visit us!<\/p>\n<p>[toc]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Brief introduction<\/h2>\n<p>It is always positive that new products appear on the market and try to improve the user experience for owners of <a href=\"https:\/\/s.click.aliexpress.com\/e\/_ArhGX5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\"><strong>Ender 3<\/strong><\/a> printers, which was sold massively due to its optimal performance and low cost.<\/p>\n<p>However, everyone knows that the Ender 3 electronics are a bit modest (always talking about the first version). And certainly changing your electronics is a major improvement we can make to this rugged printer.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main problems is that its stock processor, an ATMega1284P 8bit AVR, has only 130,048 bytes of memory to install Marlin. Considering that Marlin 2.0 occupies approximately 119,408 bytes, you can imagine how little room for maneuver we have when configuring our firmware for new devices (such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/en\/configure-bltouch-in-marlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BLTouch sensors<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Although it is possible to deactivate some functions by default that Marlin brings to save space, it is not entirely the best option and it is quite cumbersome. Some of the options that you can disable (or rather sacrifice) to get to compile your firmware successfully are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">SHOW_CUSTOM_BOOTSCREEN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ARC_SUPPORT<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">POWER_LOSS_RECOVERY<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">SCROLL_LONG_FILENAMES<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">LIN_ADVANCE<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ARC_SUPPORT<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">SHOW_BOOTSCREEN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">STRING_CONFIG_H_AUTHOR<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CUSTOM_STATUS_SCREEN_IMAGE<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although as always I usually recommend, and for the price that electronics currently have, the best solution is to replace our board with a more modern one.

This technology, patented by the driver company Trinamic, allows us to make real-time measurements of the load on our printer&#8217;s motors without any additional sensor.<\/p>\n<p>And this allows us to detect in a relatively precise way when an axis reaches the end of its path, and in the case of 3D printers to dispense with limit switches in the X and Y axes (in Z it is not recommended).<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/s.click.aliexpress.com\/e\/_9vRniI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\"><strong>BIGTREETECH E3 RRF V1.1<\/strong><\/a> electronics the manufacturer has very aptly added some jumpers to easily enable or disable this option. In this way we can configure &#8220;Sensorless&#8221; without any headache, except to configure it in our Marlin. Obviously it goes without saying that if you activate &#8220;Sensorless&#8221;, the mechanical limit switches will not work by default.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to find out a little more about technology\u00a0<strong>StallGuard&#x2122;<\/strong>\u00a0and how it works, do not hesitate to consult the technical documentation available in the following\u00a0<a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trinamic.com\/fileadmin\/assets\/Support\/Appnotes\/AN002-stallGuard2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>manufacturer link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>WiFi ESP8266 module onboard<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"borde alignnone wp-image-29006 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wifi_SKR_E3_RRF_3.jpg\" alt=\"- - -\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" title=\"- -\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wifi_SKR_E3_RRF_3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wifi_SKR_E3_RRF_3-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wifi_SKR_E3_RRF_3-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wifi_SKR_E3_RRF_3-450x328.jpg 450w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wifi_SKR_E3_RRF_3-780x569.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another feature that has surprised me is the integration of a Wifi module in the electronics itself (on the back).
