I'm having trouble getting klipper to see this board. No serial port is created. Did you use the menuconfig settings at 6:00? I can't think of anything else to try. BTW, I'm using a pi3 not CB1.

@KrisWragg Год назад

Did you sort this? Set up my E3EZ today and my Pi4B cannot see it via USB. Seems to be alive as the firmware.bin got renamed to firmware.cur

BTT has been able to pull off pretty solid designs within the constraints of the e3 mainboard, v2 of this is gonna be interesting to see

@Kev_lexington Год назад

Thanks for the quick look and the warning! I'm switching from an M8P to this new BTT E3EZ so this is all really good info.

@ModBotArmy Год назад

Other than the sd card placement and how far it sticks out the board is awesome. The amount of connectors they have been able to fit in its footprint is wild.

Why would you be replacing a Manta 8P? Perhaps using it for another project that requires it more?

@jdl3408 Год назад

Did you contact BTT about this issue before publishing? I’m curious what they have to say about this.

@ModBotArmy Год назад

I did not. Typically I will if something arrives that is clearly defective. This on the other hand is design related and since it is not a beta I want to make sure to let others know quickly before their boards face a similar fate. I have sent the video to BTT with feedback and will update in the comments/description with any update.

I have this installed on an Ender 3. The mounting hole between the y&z stepper motor is .2-.3mm off, unable to use mounting screw in that particular spot. Also if you wanted it installed under the printer you would not be able to use the network cable USB or the HDMI. Some design flaws for sure, but otherwise I'm loving my board

@@looxonline They do not list V2, but they say "etc". So everyone interprets it differently. Ideally, if something like this can happen BTT should very clearly specify in red letters that it only fits specific models and list them all. That is pretty much it, a win-win for everyone.

@PrintingPerspective Год назад

@@looxonline In the title it says "for Ender 3/Ender 3Pro/Ender 5" and only in the photos says "direct upgrade for E3 and good choice for E3 pro, E5, CR10 and etc". So technically yes, it is my bad saying that designers forgot that SD card sticks out. The only thing I want is that companies would specify things more clearly with less marketing wording. If it is only fully compatible with E3 just write it. It is easier for the consumer and less headaches for the support. That is all. Cheers!

@@PrintingPerspective Agreed. We are actually going to add a note to the checkout page where any user who has this in their cart will be warned that they need to trim the tab if they plan to use it with an E3 MAX or V2.

@RegularOldDan Год назад

Fantastic review and good catch on the issue with the SD card. It's always disappointing when something like this goes unnoticed by the manufacturer but, hopefully, people like yourself and others can spread the word enough to prevent others from having this issue. (And hopefully BTT updates their documentation, at the very least, with the suggestion to remove the tab as you did.)

@looxonline Год назад

Documentation updates coming today and a revision is already in progress but, since the board is also for use on many other machines, we will need to engineer a solution that solves this without making SD card access a hassle for other machines.

@looxonline Год назад

The main issue is just that this thing is so incredibly jam packed with every possible feature imaginable that it leaves very little wiggle room. Will get a revision out soon which adds V2 compatibility though.

There will be a Marlin plus OctoPrint option for the Manta-with-Pi available in the near future, for a somewhat simplified configuration and the use of common displays. With this setup it should also be possible to use the StepDaemon that employs the G6 command for direct motion control.

@Kalvinjj Год назад

I wonder if there's anything going on for the development of direct stepper motion, cause the Github page still shows the 2 years ago version that doesn't support even CoreXY motion systems yet, just Cartesian.

I did buy this with a CB-1 eMMC 16G, the CB-1 heat sink and the SPI-TFT35 for a future Trident build. I tested the board with CanBoot and Kipper and it works fine. However if you want to use this board with Klipper, you NEED a CM4 or CB-1, like ALL BTT Manta boards. You cannot connect a "normal" PI to it with an USB cable. All Manta boards are designed to talk only to a compute module (CM4 or CB-1)!!!

@leandrodomingues50 Год назад

BTT should have used a clamshell type microsd slot…those auto eject ones are useful for applications when you need to remove the sd card frequently or to access it without unscrewing anything.

While I understand the issue with the sd card, is it necessary? I know the mainboards like the skr mini e3 v2 don't require the sd card, where as the raspberry pi that host klipper or octoprint need an sd card to have the firmware. But what about this board? Maybe it doesn't require an sd card, and this will make it a "drop-in" replacement?

As a workaround for the screw/SD card issue, you can put the plate on 1" forward and then slide the tab back under the SD card, then use one of the short screws from the bottom corners on that screw hole, otherwise the longer screw will just break the card the other way.
