I know I was thinking about using a pi for this effort but I have since decided to use controllers that natively support wifi. First up for this modification is the GEEETech i3 printer. This machine has been a workhorse for me..
I have already put some upgrades on this machine. This 12864 screen was an upgrade..
And now it has to go in exchange for this knob - less and color touchscreen..
When I first built this printer I was excited to get this together and discover the world of 3d printing. And as such when I got to connecting everything to the gt2560 control board I was admittedly a bit sloppy..
Here is the gt2560 controller. This is a fine controller. It just doesn't support wifi. So it has to go..
And I am building this back with an MKS base 1.5 board. I like how the stepper drivers are integrated..
I know it might seem strange that I like or even want to play with integrated drivers with a fixed amount of microstepping. And these are only 1/16 microstepping. So I have to chase down resolution with stepper motors. I got a pair of 400 steps per revolution or 0.9 degree per step motors. They will install on the x and y axes..
And here is the controller all wired in and a little cleaner wiring job this time..
Here we are all back together..
And here is the MKS wifi module that connects to the back of the MKS tft32 touchscreen..
