Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The firmware is easy to find and download, and there is community support for most problems. Just got the base marlin package for the skr mini e3 v3 from their github and edited my own firmware and it's been flawless since. This board has a bootloader...  Read More

great setup as a drop-in clone for the e3 stock board. This motherboard has so much potential for other mods and upgrades. Drop in replacement with exact same layout for ender 3 board.

Pwm fan control for all the fans even the boards cooling fan. You will have to put a jst connector on the heatbreak fan. Biggest difference is my printer is ridiculously silent now.

In all cases but one, simply restarting the print gets it working with no issues. The heat sink gives me a good feeling about heat dissipation in large prints. I was able to tune the extruder e-steps and tuning the extrusion and therefore the printing...  Read More

The board is just as advertised. I really enjoy using these boards as they are easy to work with and have a ton of videos/documentation online for review. Love it. But everything else about the board is perfect.



Cons

There appears to be a manufacturing defect in the soldering of the connector.

Disappointed in the quality control from btt. Save your money and time upgrade with the creality board and leave the btt skr alone.

One struggles to maintain pla temps. Can print three jobs and then stop printing 20% into the next.

Quality


Helped reduce the noise on the printer significantly and the prints seem to come out in same quality


The touchscreen adds a slew of functionality, my favorite being the "(un)load" feature that preheats the extruder allowing fast...  Read More


After getting it installed and all the fans plugged in where they actually need to be plugged in (documentation could be a bit ...  Read More


The motors went from ear piercing to almost dead silent.

Price


Get it on prime day for 60 buxi got this because my printer was a return item and you can probably tell why it was returned.


I guess it'd add to the cost.


Price is another aspect and so value for the money is amazing vs.

Shipping


I only wish i could have simply paid the $50 extra to have it ship this way rather than have to buy this later and install it myself.


Is the seller at amazon and so shipment was overnight which is good anytime but at christmas time it is amazing.

Packaging/appearance


Box came with a little rubber ducky and i wish i could give it 5000 stars for it.


The box for the board wasn’t sealed and the usual btt ducky was missing, but it was not damaged in shipping.

Competitiveness


Compared to my original ender 3 v1.


Compared to the stock board, this skr mini is silent!


I don't know but you're probably better off editing your own marlin firmware anyway lol.

    As soon as i had this board installed and running klipper i was blown away by how quiet the stepper motors had become


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even after turning off the 34stealthchop34 mode and sticking with the default 34spreadcycle34 mode better torque and accuracy the noise increase was not much and still significantly quieter than the stock creality v4


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The difference is huge like going from all of the fans on full blast to turning them all off or at least close to that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont know if that has anything to do with it but sometimes the board will lockup during a print with a 34mcu mcu shutdown rescheduled timer in the past34 message in the fluidpi dashboard


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is inconsistent on when this will happen but almost always occurs near the very start of a print or shortly thereafter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have had it happen when doing a 7x7 auto bed leveling mesh prior to the print starting as well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There was one print i had which consistently failed to print with that aforementioned error


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I tried 3 different times and it failed in 3 different places in the print
