04:30 Connecting Fan Port (Correction)
The fan ports should be connected as follow:
FAN0 Part cooling fan
FAN1 Hotend heatsink fan
FAN2 Motherboard / Enclosure fan
********************************
Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will take a look at the new Big Tree Tech SKR Mini E3 version 3.0. This is a drop-in upgrade for older generations of Creality printers, like the Ender-3, Ender-3 Pro, Ender-5, Ender-5 Pro, and CR-10.
Like the previous versions of Mini E3 version 2, it’s a 32-bit board with TMC2209 silent stepper drivers. There are a few improvements in this latest version.
After this upgrade, the print quality and the print speed will stay the same, but you will get a silent board and an extra fan port to control the hotend fan, it's no longer always on when the printer is not printing or heating. Now, it’s completely silent. Besides that, you also get some extension ports, so you can connect a touch screen that supports even more features.
I hope you found this video helpful.

I have been wrecking my brain trying to do this exact thing all day, and you just made it look so easy!
I really appreciate the wiring diagram stills with the pints labeled. Thanks for the video! Hope to see more of your videos!
Good work young lady the world needs more women in STEM keep at it and Win...
Thanks kids! Even after 2 years the video is still relevant. I decided to do some maintenance to my Ender 3 Pro with an SKR Mini E3 V3 and tidy up all the wiring for the BL Touch and add a Creality light kit. I think I've had my Ender 3 for about 5 years and the only problem I've had with it was the original controller board quit working so I replaced it with an SKR Mini V2 board, then upgraded the V2 to a V3. You videos have been helpful, thank you very much for taking the time to make them.
I’m late to the action but I’ve been fighting this bl touch for 4 days and as I was about to say screw it and go back to the OG parts I found this video. Much love.
A+. Appreciate that you kept your trouble shooting logic in with the BL touch and the firmware in the video instead of skipping to "just do this". Going to order this board now!
Good luck with that. I've tried TWO of them so far, and BOTH were IMMEDIATELY bricked when I uploaded THEIR FIRMWARE! TOTAL waste of my time - virtually TWO WEEKS of it - with nothing but a dead printer to show for it!
THANK YOU!!!!! I was pulling my hair out! The whole reason I went with BTT was because Creality tends to have firmware issues they don't address, and BTT had a lot of positive videos on UA-cam. 🤬
I have been struggling with the Ender 3 Pro with the BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0 and the CR touch for a while. This was the fix. Worked beautifully.
- Updated BTT TFT Firmware
- Updated BTT SKR Firmware (with Z-Homing)
- Swapped the pins per video instructions.
Thank you! :)
Thanks, I had the exact same problems using the BLTouch Z homing firmware provided on BTT's github. I moved the 2 wires to the Z-stop plug. Might I add that you should mention that if the wires are reversed, it will continue to drive the nozzle down even when the sensor is tripped. Simply reversing the wires solves this. I did this, as my wire colors were totally different than yours. I knew what to do because I had to reverse the wires when I installed a BLTouch on an old CR-10 years ago.
reverse the wires on both ends???
Very nice video. I used the TH3D Studios unified firmware. It cost $5 but worked on the first try and didn't require changing the CRTouch wiring. They probably had not released this firmware at the time this video was made.
got a link?
Thank you for an excellent, and very instructive video, I have been trying to get my CR Touch working, with my SKR Mini E3 V2.0, and you have found the solution. I now know where to look for the next time I run into a problem with my Ender 3 printer. You have a channel to be proud of!
on the CR Touch, what color cable should I move to the z-stop?
Did you move the same wires over to the Z-stop? I attempted to and it isn't turning on
@@ngrh7223 I have the same question. I moved the blue ad the red wires to the Z stop and it doesn't work. The nozzle crashes into the bed.
Yeah? This being a year old, I'm sure you MUST have figured out by now that the CR and the BL are wired TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY - so make sure you get it straight (whoever is reading this later?) BEFORE you fry anything!
I was looking for a video that explained how to replace the stock board on my Ender 3 Pro with the BTT E3 v3 and how to connect a CR-Touch properly. After a few videos I found yours and I'm glad I did. You put time and effort into your video and it shows. Very clear information and explanation! That alone earned my sub :-)
Wow, this is the EXACT video on replacement boards I've been looking for! This helps me feel way more confident about doing this myself on my CR-10. THANK YOU Aurora for another AMAZING video! Your videos continue to surprise and impress me. You're content is better than 90% of the other youtubers out there, and you clearly put in a TON of prep, filming, and post-production / editing time and effort!
agreed, helped me on my cr10-S5 too!
For the CR-10 and a BL Touch, did you use the 5 pins on that probe port? Or did you have to run black/white to the Z end stop plug?
This is the most thorough review I've seen, really exceptional job.
Ordered a mingda magician pro based on your great review. Now I'm looking for resources to upgrade my ender 3 pro with bl touch to the skr mini e3 v3 with tft and came across this video. Really great and clear video and is exactly what I needed. You earned a sub, keep up the great work!
The best explanation on how to replace the motherboard and start printing after do it. A thousand thanks!
My board will be arriving in a few days and I will definitely be referring to this very detailed and informative video to get the upgrade done. Thanks Aurora & Helios. Amazing job.
Usually pronounce ARM processors as like your actual “arm”. Nice video ✌️
Usually it doesn't matter and nobody cares than you.
I had a feeling the BL Touch issue you show here was related to the port not being supported correctly yet. I almost tried switching it to the z limit port but hadnt yet as i was waiting on some fans to do all my wiring at once. Looks like ill be switching my wires on the connector to a JST :) Thanks again for your videos. Now to find a Orbiter mount for a Aquila with a v6 :)
Really clear and excellent presentation (as always)! Is there a more current firmware upgrade that includes the bltouch and "normal" wiring?
Thank you! I had this issue. For SKR E3 mini V2 it worked in the BLT connector, but for V3 it does not. Going to try this :)
Thank you again!
very detailed, easy to follow and reproduce information. Again, I learned a lot. One question remains: does this board with this massive heatsink still need a mainboard cooling fan?
Well done Aurora and Helios, Fan-Tas-Tic
Not sure, but we put everything back with the fan :)
I've been in electronics/IT world for 25 years, I've never been sold on Ferrels, to me its better to allow the wire strands to spread out within the clamping mechanism, allows better connection.
ive been looking for a video like this all day thanks for the super descriptive video
Straight to the point of what you need to do, That what I was looking for. Thank you ☺️
Amazing video. Clear instructions and awesome explanation. Keep up the amazing videos.
Awesome! Very nice explanations. Greetings from Spain.
Really nice video! would love even more Ender 3 pro content
Great explanation, wish I would have seen this before sending it.. would have saved some head scratching for the fan connections 😂
Great video Aurora. I have the BTT V2.0 board in my Ender 3 Pro. I just installed the dual Z axis upgrade and saw there were 2 Z ports on the BTT V2.0. The cable that came with the upgrade kit is a splitter cable. I wanted to find out if I should run a separate cable from each Z port to each Z axis motor instead. I didn’t realize it until I watched this video that the 2 Z ports are coming from the same stepper driver. So now I know that the one stepper driver can handle both stepper motors. You have a new subscriber.
Did u figure it out?
@@nextlvlroy Yes. Thanks for asking. I also added pulleys and a timing belt to the dual Z axis screws to keep them in sync.
@@TinkeringJohn what did u do for the issue u had with the dual z axis cable?
@@nextlvlroy I just used the splitter cable that came with the dual axis kit. Since the BTT v2.0 board stepper drivers can handle 2 motors, I just plug one end of the cable into one of the z axis ports and the other ends to the stepper motors. Hope that helps. Are you facing the same situation?
@@nextlvlroy There are 2 Z axis ports on the BTT v2.0 board, but they both go to the same stepper driver. It has 2 ports in case you don't have a splitter cable and want to run 2 separate cables to the stepper motors.
Best video about this that i seen. Thanks from Brazil
its not very uncommon to use both the bltouch and endstop, it just makes it simpler to install it into the dedicated bltouch port and not have to deal with removing the z endstop or unplugging it and it makes the firmware configuration a bit easier
That's true, you don't have to edit firmware or rewire the cables if you keep the limit switch. But I never use a Z limit switch on any printers with a bed leveling sensor. If I keep the mechanical limit switch and use it for homing, the first layer will depend on the accuracy of the limit switch.
I Have just added the SKR Mini E3 Version 3.0 Motherboard and the BigTreeTech TFT35 3.5” Color Touch Screen. I had a BL Touch, so I have tried to add it as your video shows, but it is not working and wants to smash the base without stopping. I thought I had loaded the correct firmware with auto homing, but the red light on the BL Touch never comes on. Just the little blue dot light. So, my BL Touch colors are different with a blue wire instead of green, but they are in the same places as yours. I just can't figure this out. Why is the BL Touch not lighting and moving the retractable arm?
find a fix at all?
I ordered both of these items for my CR-10S over the weekend; so excited to get rid of the 5 year old board in mine!
I've done fresh Marlin Firmware installs to add an E3D V6 and BLTouch, but not sure how to approach a new board and my searches aren't coming up with anything relevant. I have to wonder if I can use an Ender config and change just the "machine" settings...?
I'll watch this again with my 3 year old daughter, because you're inspiring 🤘🤘
I bought an SKR mini e3 v3 for my ancient CR-10S have not installed it yet. Did you install your control board yet?
@@fatboy1271 Looks great! There must be something wrong with your audio though, I couldn't hear any motor noise ;) So did you end up using the Ender config and tweak the machine settings?
@@ThePapaDawg Thanks and that's quite funny! Mics are muted, but I can't believe how quite my CR-10S is now!!!
I believe I completely built Marlin from scratch, but honestly, I can't remember. If you want, I can share mine with you. I made comments on all of the changes I made; E3D V6, BLToutch, Micro Swiss Extruder...
The BL Touch I have is from creality, the one you have is a different color scheme than mine, shouldI just use the same black and white wires on the opposite side of the bl touch connections or use the ones you pull out (blue and red)
I would also like to know
Did you figure it out? Having the same issue
At 4.04 you said the hot wire is on the left and the ground is on the right, but the diagram you're presenting says the exact opposite?
For the Hotend Heatsync Fan, what size JST Connector did you put on the end of that cable?
*Heatsink
Where do I get a JST connector and it's associated tool? What size is that connector? I find it hard to believe that they didn't include that with it because I don't think everybody doing this is going to have that stuff.
I have a skr mini E3 V3.0 and a Creality Sprite extruder pro. will you please do a video no the setup and instal of this extruder on the skr min E3 V3.0
CR touch please!!!! It would be an absolute blessing if you would do an update and show the CR touch instead of the BL. I followed this exactly and the nozzle crashes into the bed when homing. The color coding is different on the CR touch so I connected blue and red to the Z stop.
Just installed mine yesterday with Cr touch and same problem. The firmware doesn't work. I've got some JST connectors coming today, but I hate this. WHY did they make this board and not make sure they had good compiled FW for it. Ridiculous!
So here will be a really good question that I hope you can answer. I understand that I can use the tft35 on this board, but if I wanted to be a bit fancier, could I use the tft spi? If so, would I need the tft35spi or would I need to include the IO2CAN into the math?
i had to remove the blue and red wires on my CR touch and connect them to the original ender 3 limit switch port. But i now have issues where the ABL only probes the far left corner of the bed and only about an inch of the bed on the very leading edge and then it says Save to EPROM
i just follow the steps on this video an have amazing results, but I'm trying to install Klipper and connect a Sonic pad, almost everything works as it should, but the extruder its going all the way to the hotbed without stopping, any solution for that Z-homing problem?
I tried to follow this to a T, but for whatever reason I'm still getting a M999 error. Can you share a github or link to your firmware file?
I completed the steps you did on this board and flashing the firmware, but its still not working. Any ideas where to go from here?
Awesome video, helped me install the board and saved me a lot of time, however i feel like the Fan ports for Controller and Hotend heatsink are flipped. On the TFT i try to change the settings of the Controller Fan and the Hotend Fan starts working.. Is the Controller Fan the hotend heatsink fan? Or is it the motherboard enclosure fan?
Please look in the description, she updated the fan locations and corrected them
I have connected my bl touch the way show. But the bl touch will not even turn on. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong?
I tried the solution for bl touch but the probe just doesn’t deploy and it keeps trying to descend
4:07 you mean ground on left and hot on right?
I got "!! STOP called because of BLTouch error - restart with m999"... do I need to do what you did and swap pins on cr touch to z stop? You had said something about editing it in firmware perhaps an alternative? I guess I can do either but would prefer fixing it in firmware? Gotta find the skr source code if I can. Sorry to ask I am just in over my head. I don't mind swapping pins if it's the easiest fix I guess.
Thank you for the video, it's well done like the rest of your videos. What is the pitch on the JST connectors you used for the fan? Do you have a link where I can order these? Also a link for the crimper and furrells? Thank you!
Thanks for the amazing video! Do you know if the firmware issue with the BL touch has been updated yet? Thanks.
how can you get the skr mini 3 v3 to work with octoprint on the Ender 3 pro? Please help.
I wish you had a video on how to add WiFi
I have tried all of the different firmware and plug settings on my ender 3 and it just stops after the Z stop test on the homing, if you read the spill from Bigtree this is a straight replacement, I have now come to realise that thats not the case, I am SO TEMPTED TO GO BACK TO MY CREALITY BOARD, can anyone help?
LOVE THE VIDEO, followed it completely, but i have a Ender 3 Neo, which i could not get the it to function correctly, Z probe ok but could not get bed leveling at all ? can you help ?
I did number 3 to connect the CR touch and the printer wasn't turning on. I reverted back the pins and now the cr touch is not turning on, but the printer turned back on. Any idea on what happened? Did I just fry my cr touch?
sounds like a firmware issue, do any lights turn on for the cr touch?
So this wouldn't work with Creality 3D Pad Mini?
Very good video, new subscriber and new to 3d printing. Is it possible to add wifi to this Board?
So the probe port is still broken on the board I take it?
Is there any problem way I can set up this board with mini12864 v1 display...!?
what firmware would you use for a cr10 (12v v1) no bltouch using this board???
Thank you very much!
Nice Video. Does anybody know, what the name of the connector at 5:01 is? Is this JST?
A board where I can install open software is an alternative to a manufacturer board with closed source.
After all, I want to decide for myself how I convert the 3D printer.
And if I wanted to fly it to the moon... it is my thing.
how would i remove the z stop code in the firmware?
Great video, helped me get mine installed with ease. I am having trouble with the firmware, would you be able to help? I have an ender 3 pro, BL touch sensor, and the creality touch screen and I can't find firmware for this setup
best video I found on upgrading to this board. Thanks!
how to disable e stops for z offset calibration?
I have a ender 3 v2 and my extruder motor has been overheating I was told I should replace the board w btt board but it sounds like it'll be a little bit of a pain to swap due to display should I just try to tune my vref? Or should I still swap
will this BIGTREETECH® SKR MINI E3 V3.0 Motherboard for Ender3 fit my ender 3 V1? monochrome LCD
Hello Aurora,
I have a problem with my SKR Mini E3 V3 with the CR-Touch on a classic Ender 3.
When I run a bed leveling, my probing grid is not square but rectangular and goes all the way to the Y stop.
It is also not centered but glued to the left side.
I don't understand because when I make a Z-Home, the probe is perfectly centered.
Margins in Marlin are 10.
Do you have any idea where this could come from?
Awesome work! Also i can't help but notice the lower psu mount and the dual z-axis stepper motors. Can we have the link for the psu mount? Thanks!
www.printables.com/model/70436-ender-3-psu-mount-for-double-z-axis-setup
Does this board support linear advance?
With this setup my printhead moves to one point , taps it , then says "bed level finished save to eeprom". How do I fix this . Please help. (Using cr touch with your wiring )
So basically, an ender 3V2: upgrade the board and the display and you can run any ender 3 firmware for this board?
Hello. You can make video about creality cr10 v3. I'll have bay it. Thks.
I did this and still the z-axis would not go down :(
hi, i have some problem with my setup. skr e3 v3 with cr touch on ender 5. the probe don't work. i have installing firmware from BTT. any help please ?
So what method did you end up using for correcting the Z homing issue? I noticed you mentioned 3 ways but I'm curious which one you picked for im trying to troubleshoot mine too since I just got the skr mini E3 V3 as well
Would love to hear back from you!
I removed 2 pin(black and white) from the BLTouch connector and connect them to the x-end stop.
What if my BL Touch doesn’t have a black and white wire in the same location as your BL Touch?
Awesome video 😎👍
it still makes me mad that there isn't a correct firmware for it!
Note - you forgot to mention that there is HOT GLUE everywhere on all creality boards and that you have to carefully remove the hot glue in order to remove most of the cables without damaging them.
I am having issues with installing klipper and getting my BL touch to work. I ran Marlin fine after swapping pins. I wanted klipper and now my BL touch is the only issue I am having. Is switching these pins the correct thing to do for klipper as well as marlin ?
I am having the same issue. Have you found a fix?
@@thebookofmatthew12 I just wired the bl touch up with a 5 pin connector and it worked. 🙂
@@dragonsforyou2 did you run the preinstalled code?
Great video!!!!
Hello, thanks for the video, I followed the steps and everything is working, the bl touch works perfect! but the problem I have is that I do not get to work the marlin mode, the screen is black always, and I need it to configure the e steps, because I do not know how to use the touch screen terminal
You can just type M92 Exxx to set the E steps, xxx is your step number. Then use M500 to save it. For the classic Marlin mode, once you connected the ribbon cable, it should just work automatically, you don't need to config anything.
@@AuroraTech ohh ok. Thank you so muchhh!
I am stuck. Ender 3 Pro, V3 board with BL Touch. Installed firmware like you said, but I get "Invalid Mesh" every time I try to enable the BL Touch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
same
I installed mine and it says illegal user app. Anyone know
Thank you so much
superbe vidéo , merci !!!!!!!!!
oh like nice :)
Considering this on my Pro 3 or V2, was it worth it?
It's up to you, without it, the printer still works fine. But the silent stepper drivers will make your printer prints a little better with less ghosting and even more handy features with the touch screen.
Someone have the firmware for ender 5 plus? I need help pls
I’d like to point out that the fan2 port should be for the motherboard fan and the fan1 port will go to the hotend heat sink fan, so the video needs to point that out because I had tried configuring it similar to the video but my hotend fan would never turn on. Hope this helps!
Thanks, I will add this correction under the description.
@@AuroraTech - Nope, you were indeed correct the first time....
I could unsubscribe all my major well known 3d print channels because you are combining the whole worldwide existing 3d printer knowledge.
Seconded 👍
I wasn't looking forward to this. Nobody else made it this clear any easy to follow. Well done. Thanks
This is the exact video I needed to see. I want to upgrade my ender 3 max stock 4.2.2 board with the mix of silent and loud steppers to an all silent board and have been debating between this, the v2 verson and the 4.2.7 board. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very informative video as always. A bit of emotion or enthusiasm during the long dialogues would be appreciated.
Very happy with my Ender 5 Pro thanks to you 👍
She is very informative but talks like she is narrating a 1970s corporate instructional video.
Julian, you have a point, but do you think you would have done this well when you were her age, I know I most likely would not have come off as well. Don't get me wrong, instructive critique is important, and I believe they will only get better with time. I look forward to following their channel, as much as I enjoy yours.
This may be my favorite 3D printing channel on UA-cam!!!! Great job!
Great video! I bought the Creality 4.2.7 silent board for my Ender3 only to have the bed mosfet fail. I replaced it with BTT board just as this video shows and it's been great. One of the best pieces of advice is taking pictures of original board connections before starting. This is great advice before doing anything you're modifying. I work on motorcycles and document steps start to finish.
Out of all the videos and articles I've read while trying to install my SKR and TFT35, this was the most helpful, so thank you very much! Keep up the good work!
