Intention
I wanted to upgrade my awesome Creality CR-10 3D Printer to make it work with dual X-Carriage - but without building it completely up from the ground. Also I want to keep the upgrades cheap, so everyone can easily join this journey.
At the moment, the overall costs for the needed parts is around 190€ - 320€.
Benefits
- TMC2130 upgrade
- Silent printing (thanks to TMC2130)
- Sensorless homing on X and Y
- Filament-Runout Sensor (by using existing endstops)
- 32 Bit Mainboard
- 2 independent extruders (fast switching)
- Autobedleveling and Mesh-Correction
- Basing on Marlin Firmware V2.0.1
- Using existing CR-10 Frame (no drilling, etc.)
