You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for producing these high quality videos.. It makes things so much easier for those of us who don’t know much about electronics and 3D printers.
Great video Rui. Question. Can you do a video comparing the Teo Tarantula versus The Tevo Flash? I like both the printers and I am not sure witch to get. They both have the same bed size and mother board. Witch one do you prefer?
When making a hardware change like replacing the drivers with TMC2208 I have always found it faster and easier to correct the stepper motor direction by just reversing the connectors for the stepper motors, rather than changing the firmware. That way upgrades to the firm ware do not require that I remember all the changes that will have to be made and changing the printer back to stock is as easy as replacing the drivers , and jumpers, and flipping the stepper motor connectors around. But for those that like playing around with the firmware, I get it. Nothing wrong with that. Have fun with it no matter how you like to do it.
Hi, I have a question. What happen if I have wrong Amp/Volts on my board? I mean, I just got new tarantula and I dont believe in manufacture assembly. Thanks for the help.
Hello Ruy, for me to install tmc2209 v2.0 on the z axis and extruder is recommended. I will notice some difference in noise / resolution or the x and y axes are enough.
The current version of the Tarantula pro brings all the same stepper motors on all axis (the bigger Y axis is no longer included) but you can still use the same output current value from the video since that output current is lower than the max current the motor can handle.
Hello Rui, I would like to know how you do to find the vref 0.85? I have 4 42SHDC4043Z-22B engines. Can I use a tmc2208 in stanbdalone for the extruder?
Curious as to how initially years ago it was common practice to upgrade the X Y Z drivers with the TMC drivers and then using the LV driver for the extruder? A little while later the thought was to replace all drivers with TMC drivers; and now in this updated video, only 2 drivers are replaced????
Was thinking the same, searching for a tutorial to upgrade my trusted tornado. If it's purely for sound reduction then it makes sense only to do the X and y axis.
Hi , awesome and helpful Video as always. Just one question. I have bought TMC2208 from Bigtreetech. Can I use this instruction the same or are motor direction and or Vref settings different?
Hey rui, So i got the TTpro and the tmc2208 i have the same RB Step motors 42SHDC4043Z-22B and dont understand how you got the numbers to calculate the Vref... on Tevo support site they write you have to adjust all vrefs to around 1V.. but you calculated 1.19V on x axis (and can i use the 1.19V) on all drivers because i have the version with all same stepper Thank you in advance for your help
Hi Edd, that is very easy to explain... The printer's stepper motors are rated with a max working current of about 1.3A - 1.5A. When you are working with TMCs you should always start from the bottom up. If you set the Vref higher than what is needed, the drivers will heat up. Too much heat on the drivers will cause them to stall due to internal thermal protection feature and you will see layer shifts on your prints. You can tweak the Vref while printing and while monitoring the temperature and stepper behaviour. From our tests, the vref values we show are a good balance between performance and temperature.
Would installing a TL smoother on a TP do anything? Or is that what the TMC2208 driver upgrade does, besides noise reduction? I know what smoothers do, I'm wondering if they are just for boards like Enders with fixed non-upgradable drivers.Thank you
TL smoothers are not for sound but for fixing the salmon skin ( ruclips.net/video/78fonMoXRuA/видео.html ). TMCs will fix the salmon skin and also turn your stepper motors silent.
My Tarantula Pro bought in May 2020 has all 4 Step drivers equal (the Y motor isn't bigger or stronger than the other ones as said in the assembly video and here again) I was searching its specs and it says the max current is 1.5A. Should I use the max current of the motor or I can apply these ones showed in this video anyway?
Hi Douglas, we do not recommend to set the max current when using the TMCs. These drivers need to be setup differently, or in other words, from the bottom - up. If you set them up with the max current, the drivers and motors will run too hot and with not much benefit.
@@ruiraptor Hi Rui, would you mind to explain the logic for the 0.85A and 0.90A maximum currents for the x and y axis. How/Where did you get such information? (Olá Rui, poderia fazer a gentileza de explicar a lógica para as correntes dos eixos x e y? Como/onde você conseguiu estas informações? Obrigado.)
Obrigado pelos otimos videos. Voce tem ajudado muito. Tenho uma pergunta com relação aos upgrades de drivers, decidi fazer para os X, Y e Z e também o LVA8729 para a Extrusora. O que voce sugere como cooler para todos os drivers? Imagino que apenas esse fan mostrado no video vai resfriar apenas os dois drivers de X e Y, entao como fazer para os outros? Muito obrigado
Bom dia Luis, se colocar drivers nos outros eixos, terá de adicionar outra ventoinha ou uma maior. No thingiverse, fizeram um remix do meu suporte ara duas ventoinhas.
I will be upgrading my TTP with BL Touch and TMC2208 Firmware--Do I flash both firmwares, will one overwrite the other? Will they combine the functionality, or is there one firmware upgrade version with both BLT and TMC2208? How do I upgrade for both? Also the BLT firmware is "BL Touch + Dual Z"--I am not installing dual Z, will that part of the upgrade add something to the firmware that will mess with my stock single Z? Thanks
Olá Leonardo, se a sua JGaurora tiver drivers removiveis, então poderá instalar drivers TMC também. A diferença poderá estar nos valores de Vref. Muito provavelmente o valor de vref será inferior na JGAurora.
Além dos drivers TMC 2208 , o que você acha de instalar também 2 Tl smoothers com oito diodos no eixos X e Y ?vai ajudar ainda mais ou é perda de tempo ?
O objectivo principal dos smoothers é minimizar o efeito salmão. Uma vez que os drivers TMC2208 não produzem o efeito salmão, não necessita de instalar smoothers.
Hello Ruiraptor Thank you very much for your video, they can help many Tevo Tarantula Pro User. I have my Tevo Pro with the Dual Z upgrade, BL Touch upgrade and TMC 2208 upgrade installed. I have replaced all the 5 motor drivers with the TMC 2208. Honestly, I am a little bit lost with all the correction to add into the Marlin firmware of the Tevo Tarantula pro. Can you please make a small summary of all the lines we have to change in the firmware to let work the Tevo Pro with all this upgrades. One other question : the original Tevo Tarantula Pro controller board is a 32 bit controller or a 16 bit? Thank you in advance Jean-Jacques
The stock Allegro drivers run in the opposite direction when compared with the TMC drivers. If you replace any of the allegro with TMC you will need to reverse the direction in the firmware.
Help me please, I installed the tmc2209 and they are very fast in the displacement I set v ref of 1.25. I checked the a4988 vref before and it was 0.86. I have to do 0.86 X 1.4 = 1.21 is it?
PRO TIP: When the make of the video says, "Verify that your fan's + wire is on the top, please do so. Every Chicom fan I have is reversed (Negative on top.) Fan won't spin otherwise.
Thank you Ruipator for another excellent video. My TT Pro should be arriving shortly. I have some TMC2100 V1.3 drivers. Based on the spec the TMC2100 should be electrically same as TMC2208... so do you think I can use the same voltage settings?
Hi Peter. The TMC2100 has a different way to configure the stepping. While on the TMC2208 you set the stepping with the board jumpers, on the TMC2100 you need to solder small pads on the driver's board to configure the stepping. Also, the vref formula is different so you cannot use the exact same values.
You wouldn't possibly have a stock version of the firmware somewhere would you? Mine seems to be completely gone and tevo has it no where. Please help me, I fear my printer is now dead due to a quality upgrade, without knowing tevoup* had removed everything on the green tarantula pro
Ey Rui. So I got a 360w 24v 15a PSU for my TTPro, but apparently I need to adjust the voltage on the new PSU . Any idea on what I should be adjusting it too? Will be getting 2208s soon too, by Fystec, v1.2.
Hi @ruiraptor, I have a question, do you know if the 24v fan should be on all the time or only when it starts printing? I connected my fan but it is not working when i turn on the printer and i don´t want to risk start printing and get the drivers extra hot.
Hi Drako, Which fan are you refering to? You have the hotend fan (the one at the front) and the layer cooling fans (the ones at the sides of the hotend). The hotend fan will turn on as soon as you heatup the hotend above 50 degrees C.
@@ruiraptor hi rui, thanks for answering, I'm referring to the 24v fan to cool the new TMC drivers, I followed your video and everything is working but the fan, I fixed the polarity of the wires (red on top, black on bottom) but the fan does not rotate when I turn on the printer I'm thinking the fan is bad but I wanted to know if it should be spinning all the time or only when printing
That fan must be spinning at the same time as the motors are engaged. Since you don't have a way to control that, it should be spinning all the time. You can connect that fan in that connector or directly to the 24V output of the power supply.
Hello Rui! Thanks you for your helpfull video's. In my TTPro all the motors (X, Y, Z E) are the same type: 42shdc4043Z-22B. What is the correct voltage to be used with the TMC2208? And are there any benefits using a LV8729 for the extruder instead of a TMC2208?
Hi Leon, use the vref value of the X axis for the Y axis too. Regarding the benefits of the LV, it works better on the extruder. The TMC drivers, specially when running in stealthchop mode, can't handle the extruder movements and stall creating extruding issues on the prints.
Bom dia ruiraptor Instalei tmc2208 nos 4 motores, eu sei que recomenda a por o LV no extruder, mas existe alguma maneira de tirar o barulho do extruder? Ou volto a meter o stock alegro?
Bom dia Rafael, os TMCs em standalone/stealthchop) mode não são recomendados para o extrusor pois irão entrar em stall. Poderá, no entanto, configurá-los em modo spreadcycle mas irá sempre fazer algum barulho.
Boas Rui. Acabei de comprar uma tevo e ainda vem a caminho mas quero já começar a tratar dos upgrades. Nomeadamente silenciar e melhorar a qualidade de impressão. Vi este vídeo e parece idiot proof então vou fazer. Diz me só uma coisa. No BangGood encontrei as tmc2208 + stepstick mais liso. Achas boa ideia mandar vir esse bulk por mais 2€ ou só as tmc? Obrigado
Another great video thank you, further to another persons comment, is there any advantage (or disadvantage) to changing the firmware over just reversing the connectors?
Hi, reversing the wires is probably faster but changing the firmware (which is not hard) will keep your electrical connections as stock. I prefer to change the firmware because it's easier for me to manage all the changes in the firmware and therefore I don't need to keep changing wires everytime I do another upgrade change.
@ruiraptor in my case, the board sensor wires white/black seem like they should remain switched for it work (?) - I ordered a Tevo Tarantula Pro 2019 + BL Touch Sensor + Dual Z + TMC2208 about 2 months ago and got it just a few weeks ago, so all the parts I have are from Tevo; on my board, the BLTouch Sensor white/black wires were switched just like you mentioned, so I wasted no time in switching the wires back; First time doing the auto homing feature, while the sensor was never at any moment blinking, it would start to descend with the probe extended as expected, but then as it hit the test surface, it would retract but the printer would keep descending on Z, and the sensor would again try to feel the surface and continue descending - it would end up crashing the heat bed if not for power shutdown. I solved the issue by reverting the black/white wires to the incorrect/initial order on the board connector plug and it is now working properly: the sensor senses the surface, Z movement stops, raises slightly, and lowers again slightly just to halt again with retracted sensor. Could it be that Tevo somehow corrected the situation on newer units just by switching the wires (in spite of keeping the colors), or could I have messed up some firmware configuration? As someone else already asked, I went ahead and merged the Configuration.h/Configuration_adv.h files from BLTouch + Dual z firmware.zip and TMC2208 firmware.zip from github.com/tevo3d/Tarantula-pro to have a version that handles all the 3 currently available extras. I'm ok in forking Tevo's github repo and pushing my modified configs - so far as I can tell, both Z motors are operating properly, the TMC2208 installed on X and Y only are moving as expected and the BL Touch Sensor is also working. Tomorrow I will move on to calibrating the steps and fine-tuning Y and X start/stop positions. I'm also waiting for Tevo's magnetic sheet for this printer, so in the meantime, I will test heating just to ensure it is ok and work on the extruder - it looks like they shipped it with the issues you describe regarding incorrect nozzle installation. Many thanks once again!
Speed has an impact on the print quality regardless of the drivers you use so we normally use 60mm/s for infill and inner walls and 35mm/s for outter walls.
Hi. Do we need to choose the Programmer : AVRISP mk11 or change it to ArduinoISP. I might have bricked my board coz it wont turn ON after flashing. I did wait until the status is DONE UPLOADING but when i plugged the cable out and power ON the printer, It just wont start and no display at ALL..Any idea what I can do..Im afraid it might have wiped the Bootloader from the board if i understand correctly.
Hi @ruiraptor, Tevo tarantula pro comes with power outage detection feature, can you please elaborate how it is implemented in here?, The Hardware part and the marlin stuff, what pin on MKS Gen L is used for it? Is it same MKS DET power outage module they used? I have got my self one and want to wire it up to my old Tarantula. Facing really bad power situation here in Pune :( Thanks in advance, Shriganesh
@@ruiraptor yes, i realised that. How about adding one. I have got mks det power outage detection module, and connected it to d44 and turned it on in firmware, but it always detect power outage as soon as it is about to print, tried both low and high setting in firmware
I'm getting an BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo for my Tarantula Pro, I want to put in updated drivers, but I need it to be somewhat easy, I'd like to just drop them in. Is 2209s easier than 2208s? How about the higher series with no pot adj, SPI? Any suggestions? Thx
If you are looking for an eas y and plug & play installation, install the drivers in standalone/steathchop mode like we did in the video. The early versions of the TMC 2208 driver sticks are the ones we used.
@@ruiraptor Thanks rui. So your video is showing UART mode right(so I know where to put the jumper)? Do I use all the same pot V settings? In Marlin 2.0.5 is it defined "TMC2208" or TMC2208 Standalone? Really appreciate your help and replies.
Hi, if you use the drivers in standalone mode, you need to set the Vref values with the potentiometer. The jumpers under the driver set the microstepping.
Hello Rui, tks for your excellents videos. I installed the TMC 2208 drivers on X and Y axes exactly as indicated in video and its worked perfectly. Can I use the same rules to Z axe? Remove the 3rd jumper, use Vref 1,20v and set in the firmware TMC2208_standalone for Z axes? Needs invert direction too?
@@ruiraptor Thank you very much, it worked perfectly. Now I bought the extruder LV8729 to permanently silence the printer. One more question is: I tried but not found the remake for 2 fans, can you indicate the link for it? The printer stop in the midle of job, I believe that is due to the temperature.
Olá Rui acabei de instalar os drivers conforme o vídeo porem sem o cooler, quando chega em 6mm de impressão acontece um deslocamento do eixo Y e coemça a imprimir no ar , alguma dica para resolver esse problema ?
Olá Adrian, se não instalou o cooler os drivers vão aquecer e desligar e certamente é a razão para ter os deslocamentos em Y. Com drivers TMC precisa obrigatóriamente de arrefecimento.
hi rui after connecting the pc to the 3d printer via USB my pc does not recognise my 3d printer therefor I cant find the correct port to select what should i do
You need to go to device manager and check if the new connection is being recognized. If not, you have to install the FTDI drivers so it can recognize the printer.
Hi, I installed these drivers into a new board and flashed the firmware as you instructed, but my LCD screen is totally blank. I have no idea how to fix it. Could you help me?
Hi, which board did you installed? Some boards have the display pinout a bit different and you need to connect the flat cable connector rotated 180 degrees.
If you have the MKS GEN L board yes. If you have the MKS BASE board, then you need to upgrade the board too. Check this video that we made (for the tevo tornado) which explains the complete procedure: ruclips.net/video/RhlTdTLfaQ0/видео.html
Ruiraptor, tenho uma impressora Longer LK4 Pro que já veio com os drivers TMC 2208 instalados, porem ao entrar no firmware da mesma percebi que os drivers setados estão assim: #defineX_DRIVER_TYPE A4988 ; #define Y_DRIVER_TYPE A4988; #define Z_DRIVER_TYPE A4988; #define E0_DRIVER_TYPE A4988.

When I plug in the fan and turn on the machine after all the assembly is finished the fan doesn’t spin and it gets really hot I have two brand new fans and tried both of them, is this supposed to happen???
The fan that I have has the red wire on the bottom slot and the black wire on the top when I plug it in. How do I get a fan with the correct wiring. Or does that matter???
Yeah...i mention that in the video. You need to watch that. In your case, you need to reverse the wires of your fan connector. Get a pair of tweezers and push in the small metal pins on the connector while pulling the wires. Then push them in in the correct place.
hope someone can help followed the video but when I try to home non of the motor moves I've got Fystec 2208 I just can't figure it out why they won't work.
Hi Sean, these cameras normally amplify the noise coming from the fans. Nevertheless, there are silent fans on the market that can be used to reduce even more the noise level.
It's just a personal choice. You can install a TMC2208 also on the Z axis. In our case, since the Z axis does not make pratically any noise and since it does not contribute for the salmon skin effect, we didn't installed it.
@@ruiraptor I'm with a friend's TT and he put 4 TMC2208 on mainboard and asked to help him. What Vref do you recommend for Z axis and extruder? Sorry my poor english...

Hi Ricardo, you say that you have set the driver current from the display menus? If yes, this means that the drivers are setup with UART enabled and this also means that you don't need to adjust any Vrefs. The adjustment is done in the display menus only (driver current). If they are moving very fast, probably they are setup with the wrong ustepping or steps. Check the jumper configuration under the drivers (ustepping) and make sure the steps values are the same you had with the previous drivers.
@@ruiraptor Hello, they are in uart mode but, and I have set vref of 1.20 for each driver, but I still think the steps are fast and noisy are like this: x steps / mm: 80.1 y steps / mm: 80.1 z steps / mm: 399.3 e1 steps / mm: 438.0 DRIVER CURRENT X: 850 Y: 850 Z: 850 hybrid mode enabled in marlin

Hi Adam, if the Vref are set too low, the stepper motor will not have enough torque and might loose steps. If the Vref are set too high, the driver and stepper motor will overheat. When the driver overheats, it triggers the temperature protection and stop the driver. If the stepper motor overheats, it will damage it. These are the worst case scenarios.

I I understand correct, thaen if in last versions of TTP motors for both axes same motor, than it's mean tat voltage should be adjusted same?
The current version of the Tarantula pro brings all the same stepper motors on all axis (the bigger Y axis is no longer included) but you can still use the same output current value from the video since that output current is lower than the max current the motor can handle.

Hi Edd, that is very easy to explain...
The printer's stepper motors are rated with a max working current of about 1.3A - 1.5A. When you are working with TMCs you should always start from the bottom up. If you set the Vref higher than what is needed, the drivers will heat up. Too much heat on the drivers will cause them to stall due to internal thermal protection feature and you will see layer shifts on your prints. You can tweak the Vref while printing and while monitoring the temperature and stepper behaviour. From our tests, the vref values we show are a good balance between performance and temperature.

Also the BLT firmware is "BL Touch + Dual Z"--I am not installing dual Z, will that part of the upgrade add something to the firmware that will mess with my stock single Z?
Thanks
You can install the dual Z firmware without having the second motor. It will work the same.
@@ruiraptor After educating myself about editing the firmware, I understand...thank you. I didn't know the firmware was editable.
Oi Rui! Esse procedimento pode ser feito igualmente na impressora JGAurora A5? É a mesma placa e os mesmos drivers. Muito obrigado e um grande abraço!
Olá Leonardo, se a sua JGaurora tiver drivers removiveis, então poderá instalar drivers TMC também. A diferença poderá estar nos valores de Vref. Muito provavelmente o valor de vref será inferior na JGAurora.
Obrigado Rui! Já encontrei os valores Vref dela e vou fazer a troca. Um grande abraço!
Além dos drivers TMC 2208 , o que você acha de instalar também 2 Tl smoothers com oito diodos no eixos X e Y ?vai ajudar ainda mais ou é perda de tempo ?
O objectivo principal dos smoothers é minimizar o efeito salmão. Uma vez que os drivers TMC2208 não produzem o efeito salmão, não necessita de instalar smoothers.
Hello Ruiraptor
Thank you very much for your video, they can help many Tevo Tarantula Pro User.
I have my Tevo Pro with the Dual Z upgrade, BL Touch upgrade and TMC 2208 upgrade installed. I have replaced all the 5 motor drivers with the TMC 2208.
Honestly, I am a little bit lost with all the correction to add into the Marlin firmware of the Tevo Tarantula pro.
Can you please make a small summary of all the lines we have to change in the firmware to let work the Tevo Pro with all this upgrades.
One other question : the original Tevo Tarantula Pro controller board is a 32 bit controller or a 16 bit?
Thank you in advance
Jean-Jacques
Hi, we explained all that in detail in the video. You can check this one too for more aditional information: ruclips.net/video/RhlTdTLfaQ0/видео.html
Z-axis, would you also flip the boolean in config.h if that was replaced too? What about the boolean for a 4th for the optional 2nd Z axis?
The stock Allegro drivers run in the opposite direction when compared with the TMC drivers. If you replace any of the allegro with TMC you will need to reverse the direction in the firmware.
Fantastic and simple upgrade
Thanks for sharing
Help me please, I installed the tmc2209 and they are very fast in the displacement I set v ref of 1.25.
I checked the a4988 vref before and it was 0.86. I have to do 0.86 X 1.4 = 1.21 is it?
PRO TIP: When the make of the video says, "Verify that your fan's + wire is on the top, please do so. Every Chicom fan I have is reversed (Negative on top.) Fan won't spin otherwise.
👏👍
Thank you Ruipator for another excellent video. My TT Pro should be arriving shortly. I have some TMC2100 V1.3 drivers. Based on the spec the TMC2100 should be electrically same as TMC2208... so do you think I can use the same voltage settings?
Hi Peter. The TMC2100 has a different way to configure the stepping. While on the TMC2208 you set the stepping with the board jumpers, on the TMC2100 you need to solder small pads on the driver's board to configure the stepping. Also, the vref formula is different so you cannot use the exact same values.
I may have missed it, but why not install the TMC2208 on the Z axis?
There's no real benefit on installing since the Z motor only moves a couple of mm each time, from what I understand.
You wouldn't possibly have a stock version of the firmware somewhere would you? Mine seems to be completely gone and tevo has it no where. Please help me, I fear my printer is now dead due to a quality upgrade, without knowing tevoup* had removed everything on the green tarantula pro
Ey Rui. So I got a 360w 24v 15a PSU for my TTPro, but apparently I need to adjust the voltage on the new PSU . Any idea on what I should be adjusting it too? Will be getting 2208s soon too, by Fystec, v1.2.
Hi Josh, just make sure the output voltage is 24V.
Hi @ruiraptor, I have a question, do you know if the 24v fan should be on all the time or only when it starts printing? I connected my fan but it is not working when i turn on the printer and i don´t want to risk start printing and get the drivers extra hot.
Hi Drako,
Which fan are you refering to? You have the hotend fan (the one at the front) and the layer cooling fans (the ones at the sides of the hotend).
The hotend fan will turn on as soon as you heatup the hotend above 50 degrees C.
@@ruiraptor hi rui, thanks for answering, I'm referring to the 24v fan to cool the new TMC drivers, I followed your video and everything is working but the fan, I fixed the polarity of the wires (red on top, black on bottom) but the fan does not rotate when I turn on the printer I'm thinking the fan is bad but I wanted to know if it should be spinning all the time or only when printing
That fan must be spinning at the same time as the motors are engaged. Since you don't have a way to control that, it should be spinning all the time. You can connect that fan in that connector or directly to the 24V output of the power supply.
Com relação a versão do driver TMC 2208 : tem alguma diferençã entre a V1.0 e 1.2?
Se quiser instalar os drivers em Standalone, não vai notar a diferença. As versões distinguem-se pelo sinal de saida para UART.
Great video , i have a doubt: in 6:31 what exacly are doing ? measuring or adjusting voltage ?
Hi, Actually, i'm measuring while adjusting the Vref potentiometer.
Thank you very much .. the video is greatly detailed and helps a lot
Hello Rui! Thanks you for your helpfull video's. In my TTPro all the motors (X, Y, Z E) are the same type: 42shdc4043Z-22B. What is the correct voltage to be used with the TMC2208? And are there any benefits using a LV8729 for the extruder instead of a TMC2208?
Hi Leon, use the vref value of the X axis for the Y axis too. Regarding the benefits of the LV, it works better on the extruder. The TMC drivers, specially when running in stealthchop mode, can't handle the extruder movements and stall creating extruding issues on the prints.
ruiraptor Thank you sir!
Eu consigo instalar o driver no eixo Z também apenas utilizando 1 fan?
Edit: No caso o mesmo que você sugere no vídeo.
Sim, consegue usando apenas uma ventoinha mas talvez terá de a redirecionar.
Rui , acabei de instalar os drivers TMC 2208 pelo seu video , funcionou perfeitamente , muito obrigado !!!
Bom dia ruiraptor
Instalei tmc2208 nos 4 motores, eu sei que recomenda a por o LV no extruder, mas existe alguma maneira de tirar o barulho do extruder? Ou volto a meter o stock alegro?
Bom dia Rafael, os TMCs em standalone/stealthchop) mode não são recomendados para o extrusor pois irão entrar em stall. Poderá, no entanto, configurá-los em modo spreadcycle mas irá sempre fazer algum barulho.
@@ruiraptor obrigado, mas já mandei vir o LV... É só instalar???
Vai reduzir o barulho e funcionar melhor?? Afino para a mesma tensão dos tmc??
Olá Rafael, veja aqui como instalar e ajustar os Vrefs do LV: ruclips.net/video/RhlTdTLfaQ0/видео.html
yes or no,
It is necessary to replace the driver on the z axis and extruder or not
In our opinion, it's not necessary because the salmon skin effect, it's produced by the X and Y axis.
Boas Rui. Acabei de comprar uma tevo e ainda vem a caminho mas quero já começar a tratar dos upgrades. Nomeadamente silenciar e melhorar a qualidade de impressão. Vi este vídeo e parece idiot proof então vou fazer. Diz me só uma coisa. No BangGood encontrei as tmc2208 + stepstick mais liso. Achas boa ideia mandar vir esse bulk por mais 2€ ou só as tmc? Obrigado
Bom dia, os stepsticks são uma especie de smoothers em tamanho pequeno. Para os TMCs não são necessários.
Another great video thank you, further to another persons comment, is there any advantage (or disadvantage) to changing the firmware over just reversing the connectors?
Hi, reversing the wires is probably faster but changing the firmware (which is not hard) will keep your electrical connections as stock. I prefer to change the firmware because it's easier for me to manage all the changes in the firmware and therefore I don't need to keep changing wires everytime I do another upgrade change.
Olá Rui, tenho uns tmc2209 para instalar, o processo é o mesmo? Voltagem?
Olá Rodrigo, sim, o valor dos vrefs é o mesmo.
would it be worth setting these in UART ? and if so could you make a video on how to set that up
Setting the drivers with UART has it's advantages. We can try and make that video too ;) Thanks for the idea.
*To install bl touch or other sensor in 3d printer is necessary?*
This printer works great without an auto-level sensor. You can install one but it's up to you.
@ruiraptor in my case, the board sensor wires white/black seem like they should remain switched for it work (?) - I ordered a Tevo Tarantula Pro 2019 + BL Touch Sensor + Dual Z + TMC2208 about 2 months ago and got it just a few weeks ago, so all the parts I have are from Tevo; on my board, the BLTouch Sensor white/black wires were switched just like you mentioned, so I wasted no time in switching the wires back; First time doing the auto homing feature, while the sensor was never at any moment blinking, it would start to descend with the probe extended as expected, but then as it hit the test surface, it would retract but the printer would keep descending on Z, and the sensor would again try to feel the surface and continue descending - it would end up crashing the heat bed if not for power shutdown.
I solved the issue by reverting the black/white wires to the incorrect/initial order on the board connector plug and it is now working properly: the sensor senses the surface, Z movement stops, raises slightly, and lowers again slightly just to halt again with retracted sensor.
Could it be that Tevo somehow corrected the situation on newer units just by switching the wires (in spite of keeping the colors), or could I have messed up some firmware configuration? As someone else already asked, I went ahead and merged the Configuration.h/Configuration_adv.h files from BLTouch + Dual z firmware.zip and TMC2208 firmware.zip from github.com/tevo3d/Tarantula-pro to have a version that handles all the 3 currently available extras.
I'm ok in forking Tevo's github repo and pushing my modified configs - so far as I can tell, both Z motors are operating properly, the TMC2208 installed on X and Y only are moving as expected and the BL Touch Sensor is also working. Tomorrow I will move on to calibrating the steps and fine-tuning Y and X start/stop positions. I'm also waiting for Tevo's magnetic sheet for this printer, so in the meantime, I will test heating just to ensure it is ok and work on the extruder - it looks like they shipped it with the issues you describe regarding incorrect nozzle installation.
Many thanks once again!
Hi Wickwire, thank you for your feedback. Maybe Tevo crossed the wires in the cable instead of correcting the wire positions inside the printer.
jus wonderin what yous have the print speeds at on this machine after the 2208s.
Speed has an impact on the print quality regardless of the drivers you use so we normally use 60mm/s for infill and inner walls and 35mm/s for outter walls.
If you’re in Minnesota I have a kit with lots of upgrades unfinished willsell at a deep discount
Is there a diffrence between v1.0 and v1.2 or is it just design but work the same
The difference is the pin for UART connection.
FYI, this printer is now supported in the main Marlin 2.0 branch.
Yes, you are correct.
Are these adjustments necessary / are you actual modifying something here? 5:40 or are you just checking the voltage etc.
Ohh I think what you are doing is using the screw driver to change the voltage
Yes, correct. We are adjusting the voltage on the small potentiometer located on each driver.
Great video by the way!!! Definitely will be looking for more upgrades from you for this printer!
Very good video, what software in the design of base of the new fan cooler?
Hi, We used inventor software.

If you are looking for an eas y and plug & play installation, install the drivers in standalone/steathchop mode like we did in the video. The early versions of the TMC 2208 driver sticks are the ones we used.
@@ruiraptor Thanks rui. So your video is showing UART mode right(so I know where to put the jumper)? Do I use all the same pot V settings? In Marlin 2.0.5 is it defined "TMC2208" or TMC2208 Standalone? Really appreciate your help and replies.
Hi, if you use the drivers in standalone mode, you need to set the Vref values with the potentiometer. The jumpers under the driver set the microstepping.
What is this ? "Ultra Silent Protector Plug Type Stepper Motor Driver Stepstick Smoother For 3D Printer" Can you do some with with this things also ?
those are smoothers. I would recommend using TMCs only

The hotend fan must be spinning at full speed for better performance. You can install a noctua fan and a step down circuit instead.
@@ruiraptor Sorry I mean the 5010 fan that is put under the printer when upgrading the drivers to TMC2208, it is very loud.

If reducing noise is the goal it's a shame you have to add a noisy cooling fan. Other than that great results
Hi Sean, these cameras normally amplify the noise coming from the fans. Nevertheless, there are silent fans on the market that can be used to reduce even more the noise level.

Why A4988 for Z axis, not TMC2208 too?
It's just a personal choice. You can install a TMC2208 also on the Z axis. In our case, since the Z axis does not make pratically any noise and since it does not contribute for the salmon skin effect, we didn't installed it.

Hi Ricardo, you say that you have set the driver current from the display menus? If yes, this means that the drivers are setup with UART enabled and this also means that you don't need to adjust any Vrefs. The adjustment is done in the display menus only (driver current). If they are moving very fast, probably they are setup with the wrong ustepping or steps. Check the jumper configuration under the drivers (ustepping) and make sure the steps values are the same you had with the previous drivers.

Hi! What will happen if I won't change VREF values? @ruiraptor
Hi Adam, if the Vref are set too low, the stepper motor will not have enough torque and might loose steps. If the Vref are set too high, the driver and stepper motor will overheat. When the driver overheats, it triggers the temperature protection and stop the driver. If the stepper motor overheats, it will damage it. These are the worst case scenarios.
