The RPi has 4 USB ports (only one on the Pi Zero). If you need all four for other things, then the serial is available for communication with the Octopus. Even if you use the USB, you can power the Rpi from the Octopus via the serial port connector.

Can bus data cables might work fine on USB. We are talking a balanced differential pair here and a separate heavier power and ground pair. The wires need to be flexible and withstand gazillions of cycles of bending. There are many other applications where wires must be able to withstand...

I'm going to mount a SuperPinda probe in the same spot as where the Omron probe is located. I'm using a mount found on Printables (https://www.printables.com/model/431266-voron-pinda-superpinda-mount) This one screws in from the back side without the block in the back. In theory you can...

After about a year and a half (or longer) I finally got my ender 3 pro to switchwire conversion working. Part of the reason it took so long was that I had specific plans for the printer and I deviated quite a bit from the design. I got a dual input hot end and built two mobius bowden...

Yes, there is a Bowden module that replaces the Clockwork2, which can be mounted behind the part cooling fan on the Stealth burner. I'm using that with an M4. Advantage? A little less weight and lower inertia on the X axis, the M4 is a bit easier to build than the CW2 (and maybe a bit...

Will be using a Mellow-Fly CAN toolhead board to drive one of the extruders. Kills two birds with one stone, cleans up toolhead wiring, and gets me the second extruder motor driver. Also adds X axis accelerometer.

I'm self sourcing an Ender 3 Pro to switchwire conversion. This one is mostly based on the DarkDog github, though I've added a few updated parts from others. Rather than convert my current Ender3 Pro printer, which is producing the required printed parts, I bought a "basket case" Ender 3 Pro...

By using a CAN or USB toolhead board I would be killing two birds with one stone (MCU), I'd cut down on the wiring from the Stealthburner to the under board MCU, and get an extra stepper driver for the second M4. I had been thinking of breadboarding a small MCU with an Adafruit Itsybitsy 2040...

I'm building an Enderwire conversion, and I'm going to use a Taichi hot end with a pair of M4 extruders. I'm thinking of using a toolhead board to cut down on the number of wires in the X cable chain. One I'm wonder if I can fit either an EBB36 or 42 in the Stealthburner without having the...

Glad to find this. I also have and Ender 3 Pro fitted with a Revo-CR. I plan on partially Voron-izing the printer by adding a Stealthburner, doing the dual Z screw upgrade, moving the PS under the printer, adding a Rpi to run Klipper, and raising the printer with the Enderwire skirts. I...

I'm building an "Enderwire", and plan on doing a dual color/material mod on it. I bought a Taichi extruder, and I found a user mod for this hot end to work with the Stealthburner. I've printed the parts for this and have started to assemble it. I will use a pair of M4 extruders, which is...

Not if it's your ONLY printer!

The Omron signal output will show a logic 1 level near its power supply level, and a logic 0 level near ground. If the input line at the micro controller can't handle 12-24 volts (probably not!) then the diode is used, with the cathode connected to the Omron and the anode to the MC. The signal...

The Fabreeko site gives two options, "self sourced", and "LDO". What about kits from Formbot, what should builders of these kits specify?
