Hi! I have an old CR10-s, I don’t have money to buy a new, and more performant printer, so I just used and spare OrangePi PC that I had to use klipper, and I love it! It was so satisfying. Now I want to change the fan inside the awful control box but then? I read about stepper dumper are useful? I want to install a BLtouch, TL smoother and a ADXL345 for input shaping. but do you think it’s worth? I also tried to find info about new and more silent stepper driver, but for what I understood I can’t install them on my stock board, is that correct? I should move to a Bigtreetech?

All of this will cost me like maybe 60$ + maybe sth if I want to put a noctua on the extruder and a magnetic plate…

To sum up: does this planned updates worth? do I need to move to a new board for the stepper driver? it’s better to throw away the printer? (I’m joking). I want to achieve a more reliable print, lower noise and a little more speed.

(see the anycubic viper is so damn fast)

Thank you a lot in advance

    Yeah my CR-10v2 is still solid, and that’s basically a rebranded CR-10s. I’ve put in an original V6, added a bltouch and a pi for octoprint and that’s treated me pretty well so far.
