  • Before we mount the control board on the printer. We will need to install the motor driver first. In this kit, we use Fly-D8, which has the following config.

alt alternative text.

  • Since we usethe TMC2209 driver, we will use the UART mode. Put jumpers on these locations with green marks first.

alt alternative text.

  • Then, for X and Y motor,s we need sensorless homing. So we need to install jumpers on these Orange locations.

alt alternative text.

  • Check the jumpers before you install the driver.

  • Then we need to put the jumpers for the fans. We use only 24V fans, so we put jumpers at these locations marked with red marks.

alt alternative text.

  • Then we can now prepare the TMC2209 drivers. There are 7 of them
  • Stick the heat sink on the TMC2209 first

alt alternative text.

  • Note the orientation. Install the drivers at the locations as shown. The leftmost socket is empty. Note the pin orientation. All pins on the driver should be connected. alt alternative text.

6.3.2 Mount the control board

  • Install the control board on the printed support using M3x6 screws. It should fit just right. If not, slightly loosen the screws and adjust the support.

6.3.3 Prepare the Pi4

  • Raspberry Pi 4 is a powerful platform for all sorts of applications. In our kit, it serves as the Klipper Host.
  • The powerful processing capabilities of the Pi4 also enable us to add many other features to the machine in the future.

  • Due to the high performance, it is important to install the heat sink on Pi4. The kit contains ready-to-work heat sinks; we only need the upper half(the side with sockets)

  • Connect the FPC/FFC as shown. Note the orientation, the blue stripe should face out of the board.

alt alternative text.

  • Take the Heat sink for Pi and pass the FPC/FFC wires through the notch.

  • Take the Pi mounting support and install the M3x10 screw in these locations.
