BIGTREETECH launches two new 3D printer motherboards, new stepper motor drivers

BIGTREETECH, a Shenzhen-based developer of 3D printing electronics, has introduced the launch of three new merchandise.

The agency’s newest {hardware} batch contains two new motherboards designed to be used with FFF 3D printing programs: the SKR 3 and SKR 3 EZ. The corporate has additionally made its new EZ stepper motor drivers commercially obtainable, offering devoted movement controllers for a smoother and quieter 3D printing expertise.

Eric Zhang, Founding father of BIQU, stated, “Primarily based on our earlier motherboards and the wants of customers, our crew has developed a collection of unbelievable merchandise this time: the SKR 3, SKR 3 EZ, and the EZ drivers. We’ve labored onerous to enhance the design, effectivity, and sturdiness of those gadgets, making them stronger than ever for the 3D printing group.”

The BIGTREETECH {hardware} portfolio

Based in 2015, BIGTREETECH has constructed a reputation for itself with its in depth lineup of 3D printing {hardware}. The agency focuses on digital elements for 3D printers, together with management boards, driver boards, and show screens just like the Raspberry Pad 5.

The corporate’s BIQU model additionally manufactures and sells its personal vary of consumer-grade desktop 3D printers. This contains the debut BIQU B1, the flagship BIQU BX, and the user-friendly BIQU B1 SE PLUS.

BIQU can also be residence to all kinds of different 3D printing add-ons resembling hotends, warmth sinks, followers, linear guides, timing belts, PTFE tubing, and filaments. Simply this yr, the agency introduced the launch of two new high-performance FFF extruder kits – the H2O and H2 500℃.

The SKR 3 and SKR 3 EZ

Primarily based on the beforehand launched SKR 2, the SKR 3 is a 32-bit management board measuring simply 110 x 85mm. It comes full with a 480MHz ARM Cortex-M7 collection STM32H743VIT6 microprocessor and 24C32 32-Kbit EEPROM for knowledge storage.

Suitable with each Marlin and Klipper firmware, the SKR 3 helps enter voltages of 12 – 24V (DC) with a peak output present of 6A. There’s additionally an onboard BOOT0 that enables customers to flash the firmware with ease.

BIGTREETECH has additionally positioned a serious give attention to security right here, equipping its motherboard with thermal enter brief circuit safety and thermal runaway safety. The system helps an entire host of superior performance resembling automated post-printing shutdown, energy loss restoration, filament runout detection, BL Contact leveling, and RGB lighting. Wi-Fi interfaces embody ESP-12S, ESP-07, and ESP32-based modules, and the SKR 3 is suitable with all of BIGTREETECH’s TFT and LCD12864 show screens.

Then again, the SKR 3 EZ is an upgraded model of the SKR 3. Barely bigger at 109.7 x 98mm, it options revamped dual-driver interfaces that allow customers to make use of each the common TMC drivers and the agency’s new EZ drivers. The bottom SKR 3 mannequin remains to be suitable with the EZ drivers, however customers will likely be required to buy EZ adaptors to attach them.

The SKR 3 is out there for $56.98, whereas the SKR 3 EZ is out there for $59.99.

EZ stepper motor drivers

BIGTREETECH’s new EZ stepper motor drivers can be found in seven completely different fashions, every with its personal driver chip, voltage vary, and different parameters.

The gadgets have been designed with a brand new, extra strong pin-free construction that eliminates the danger of finger pricks and unintended plug-ins, whereas making set up a chunk of cake. They’re additionally extremely versatile and suitable with 57 completely different stepper motor designs.

The EZ drivers characteristic built-in warmth sinks to make sure vitality consumption and warmth output are stored to a minimal. Constructed to final, all of them comprise 4 layers of PCB for sturdiness (besides the EZ5160 professional, which has six PCB layers).

Full pricing particulars for the EZ drivers will be discovered right here.
