Ender-3-Mods-Collection

large_preview_IMG_20200213_134323.jpg

This is a collection of my personal Ender-3 mods.

Added a second Z-Axis:

Some mods are dependent on:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3688967 (Ender 3 all in one rear mount kit by TeachingTech)
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060 (Cable Chain by johnniewiskey, included as an FreeCad arrangement)
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3319649 (X belt tensioner, a streched version of the base part is in my files to be used with the direct extruder, which frees about 2 cm of the belt, just thow away the nuts, they interfere with the new z-axis slider)

Nice to haves:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3372977 (Ender 3 Double Drawer, one regular, one mirrored, need to cut of 0.5 mm in the middle where thay both touch each other)

Additionally, I replaced the original Ender 3 controller by some BIGTREETECH SKR 1.4 Turbo (+TMC2130 stepper drivers + TFT32 touch) paired with an Raspberry Pi 3 B running Octoprint.

Here is the shopping cart for all my mods:

I bought the direct Extruder kit here:

The SKR 1.4 was this:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BIGTREETECH-SKR-V1-4-BTT-SKR-V1-4-Turbo-32-Bit-TFT35-V2-0-TMC2130-SPI/4000506531501.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.ca264c4dINuJcq

If you plan to use E1 as the stepper output for the second Z-Axis, you should also add another end stop switch like this:
https://www.banggood.com/de/Horizontal-Type-Mechanical-Endstop-Switch-with-1m-Cable-for-3D-Printer-Reprap-Ramps1_4-p-1338647.html?rmmds=myorder

Coming soon: Adding an end stop for Z2 and adjust Marlin to use E1 as the driver for Z2.

You can find Marlin for SKR 1.4 with follwing settings

If I forgot to mention something, feel free to contact me.

Happy printing! 🙂
