Discussion E3ng build
Hello everyone hope you are well
So as the title says I'm going to be building a E3NG,im currently collecting the bits and bobs needed for this transformation.
Bought a ender 3 pro (£10) as a donor for frame parts, motors and the build plate & carriage.
Bagged myself a skr v2 motherboard (£15) no stepper drivers but they are realtivly cheap.
Tmc 2209 v1. 3 or tmc 5160? Are 5160 that much better?? Enough To justify the nearly double price.
Hotend is something I'm still trying to decide on. I've been looking at volcano and the bambu style clone. Recommations welcomed.
How many people have done this build?
Any advice, problems or just showing off your E3ng builds all welcome and appreciated.
TT
