BIGTREETECH, a Shenzhen-based developer of 3D printing electronics, has announced the launch of three new products.
该公司的最新硬件批次包括两个新的主板，旨在与FFF 3D打印系统一起使用：SKR 3和SKR 3 EZ。该公司还在商业上提供了新的EZ步进电动机驱动程序，为精心而安静的3D打印体验提供了专用的运动控制器。
Eric Zhang, Founder of BIQU, said, “Based on our previous motherboards and the needs of users, our team has developed a series of incredible products this time: the SKR 3, SKR 3 EZ, and the EZ drivers. We’ve worked hard to improve the design, efficiency, and durability of these devices, making them stronger than ever for the 3D printing community.”
Bigtreetech硬件投资组合
Founded in 2015, BIGTREETECH has built a name for itself with its extensive lineup of 3D printing hardware. The firm specializes in electronic components for 3D printers, including control boards, driver boards, and display screens like the覆盆子垫5.
The company’s BIQU brand also manufactures and sells its own range of consumer-grade desktop 3D printers. This includes the debutBIQU B1, the flagshipBIQU BX, and the user-friendlyBIQU B1 SE PLUS.
BIQU is also home to a wide variety of other 3D printing add-ons such as hotends, heat sinks, fans, linear guides, timing belts, PTFE tubing, and filaments. Just this year, the firm announced the launch of two new high-performance FFF extruder kits –the H2O and H2 500℃.
The SKR 3 and SKR 3 EZ
根据先前发布的SKR 2，SKR 3is a 32-bit control board measuring just 110 x 85mm. It comes complete with a 480MHz ARM Cortex-M7 series STM32H743VIT6 microprocessor and 24C32 32-Kbit EEPROM for data storage.
SKR 3与Marlin和Klipper固件兼容，支持12-24V（DC）的输入电压，峰值输出电流为6A。还有一个机上启动0，允许用户轻松刷新固件。
BIGTREETECH has also placed a major focus on safety here, equipping its motherboard with thermal input short circuit protection and thermal runaway protection. The system supports a whole host of advanced functionality such as automated post-printing shutdown, power loss recovery, filament runout detection, BL Touch leveling, and RGB lighting. Wi-Fi interfaces include ESP-12S, ESP-07, and ESP32-based modules, and the SKR 3 is compatible with all of BIGTREETECH’s TFT and LCD12864 display screens.
On the other hand, theSKR 3 EZis an upgraded version of the SKR 3. Slightly larger at 109.7 x 98mm, it features revamped dual-driver interfaces that enable users to use both the regular TMC drivers and the firm’s new EZ drivers. The base SKR 3 model is still compatible with the EZ drivers, but users will be required to purchase EZ adaptors to connect them.
The SKR 3 is available for $56.98, while the SKR 3 EZ is available for $59.99.
EZ stepper motor drivers
BIGTREETECH’s new EZ stepper motor drivers are available in seven different models, each with its own driver chip, voltage range, and other parameters.
The devices have been designed with a new, more robust pin-free structure that eliminates the risk of finger pricks and accidental plug-ins, while making installation a piece of cake. They’re also highly versatile and compatible with 57 different stepper motor designs.
The EZ drivers feature integrated heat sinks to ensure energy consumption and heat output are kept to a minimum. Built to last, they all comprise four layers of PCB for durability (except the EZ5160 pro, which has six PCB layers).
