Thanks ED!
You're welcome.
Thank you for this video. I plan to add IDEX to two of my printers and this tutorial was illuminating.
Thank you. Do you have a link to IDEX? Is It a IR sensor?
So idex (who knows if i am spelling this right) is dual independent extruders... like on the sigma. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3297964.
Thing is you need six stepper motors... i want to keep my existing Gen L board... much cheaper than buying a rambo.
Hi Edward Brainman, Great video. Thank you for sharing all the details. I need your wisdom. I'm new to this kind of thing. Is it possible to control the stepper motor by connecting the "stepper motor for arduino control" you use in this video directly to an Arduino? I really appreciate you sharing this video and hope to learn more from you as you are the only person online I have found taking about this External Driver.
I'm trying to use an Arduino Nano to control a Nema 17 stepper motor without using a breadboard (Arduino to External Driver, Power to External Driver, External Driver to Stepper Motor). Is this possible? I'm new to Arduino and all this kind of fun work. Anything you share is appreciated. Thank you Mr. Brainman. Great name. :-)
interesting but i have 1 issue where you took the 12v i use that for my part cooling fan
Excellent video! thank you very much!
good
thank a bunch, useful video!!
You're welcome.
Hello . Thanks for the good video
Can you please explain in Firmware how to disable the extruder thermistor?
Because I tried it once and it says
The extruder is in low temp and I couldn't move stepper motor until hotend isnt on
Unfortunately I will not explain how to disable.
Here is my reasoning why, I don't want to show people how to burn their house down .
The issue of low temperature warning is related to a malfunctioning thermistor.
It means it's broken or not plugged in.
@@EdwardBraiman
Thanks for the answer, but let me explain more clearly
I want to make a ceramic printer that does not need a heater, and when I want to run the printer, it gives a low temperature error, even though I did not even connect the thermistor, but when I connect the thermistor and set the minimum working temperature to 22 degrees, the printer works. he does . But I do not want to connect the thermistor at all, is it possible?
I mean make changes to the firmware
If no thermistor is present, the you need to specify 999 for thermistor.
H, Thanks for another nice video. one quick question, Because I am not using an extruder for motor E; I am using syringe instead. How can I add an end stop for E motor/extruder motor.
Great question, truth be told I'm not sure. You might check out my filament run-out video and then draw a syringe form factor to trip like the filament run-out. Good luck.
Hello, I am wondering why did you use those specific digital pins? could you have used any digital pin and just match the number you used in pins.h?
Yes. The reason was more to get people thinking about what you just asked.
@@EdwardBraiman This is good news! I haven't done much custom work on my 3D-printer boards, however, I do have some experience with Arduino and setting pins. I am hoping to add a Stepper Extender to an SKR Mini E3, while keeping my BLTouch. I will let you know if I make any meaningful progress. Thank you for the video.
Hi man! really interesting video, I appeal to you because you deff know your stuff, I have a vertex k8400 with a board AVR ATmega2560 based, I am trying to add a 3rd head (UV-curing LED) I would like to use it kind of like a 3rd printhead, be able to move it around and turn it on with G-CODE, do you think is possible to use the bed heater pins for such purposes? if so, any idea on the firmware configuration? I am completely new to this and to be honest, I hardly can keep up with any firmware configuration. any help will be very appreciated. thanks for your time and help
You might want to checkout reprap forums as they might have a better idea of Marlin firmware and hardware setup.
I’am using trigorilla board, it seem different, i don’t known how to conect that shield. Can’t you help me? Thank you
I'll have to research. Does it have pins on the bottom of the board or are you referring to stepper driver boards?
@@EdwardBraiman it have 6 pin AUX: 042, 043, 2 pin GND and 2 pin 5v
So your first step is to locate the datasheets or pinout diagram. Once you know the pin numbers it is a matter of matching the steps in this video to your configuration.
I need cura settings? Help me pls.
Not sure I cover Cura in this tutorial.
Great Video. I would like to do this with my Z drives. Can you help?
Do you mean additional Z-axis stepper? I may have several videos in my playlist which may address your issues in several ways.
@@EdwardBraiman Actually what I want to do. Is to add a second driver to my Z axis. Using a Keyes External Driver Board like the above video. I want to use TMC2130 SPI. I am currently using the Z axis to run two stepper motors through a serial connection. The Keyes Board looks like a better setup. But I would like to use TMC2130's in SPI mode. I currently have an MKS GEN L v1.0, but may upgrade to an SKR v1.1. You have made many excellent video's, Thank you.
Might be easier and cheaper to use drv8825 as tmc2130 eats up many pins in this case.
Hello. Please help me if 4 extruders can be connected. Is this possible on the MKS Gen L motherboard? Greetings Piotr
The process it very similar to doing one you'll need to find free pins around the board.
@@EdwardBraiman Are you sure? You tested? If not, can you help?
@@EdwardBraiman On your advice I looked for available pins, and indeed, four extruders work. On Marlin for CR10 BlTuch and one nozzle, there were a lot of compilation errors. But I succeeded.
Congratulations.

It's too bad the sound is out on the computer sections. Those are also very important.
Most my videos are CC in 80 or more languages except a couple from the last month or so.
come on man, the video its perfectly explained and filmed and you complain about the sound??? In my opnion, thats disrespectfull. Turn up your computer speakers volume and thats it, you solved out.
Remember, without his and others input I would not be aware of the sound quality.
Do you have a Diamond print video?
I've got a stepper setup video. I can do a video on the printhead.
@@EdwardBraiman Yes, do it if it's not difficult. very interesting since I myself have been thinking about it for a long time! It can also be schematically show the connection of 3 extruders. the video does not quite see the connections of some pins
Well for a diamond printhead you should only need Odin (one) thernistor and heating element. I've got one coming in the mail in a couple of days.
I have already bought components for a long time, just now I found your video, there is no other review on the Internet.
It's not a hard setup for the diamond. Just has a lot of steps.
