Product Description

In 3D printer stepper motor drivers, the TL-Smoother adds a stepper motor auxiliary control.
Vibration is reduced, noise is reduced, and a smoother result is produced
Flyback diodes (freewheeling diodes) are provided for the output of the motor
Additionally, the driver is protected against induction voltages when it is unpowered
get smoother movement especially with a delta-style 3D printer and the DVR8825 stepper driver and the A4988/2 driver

Questions & Answers

Do you have an EE who can attest to Mud doesn't stick to it Could current sensing and microstepping be up to the task? Would a diode be a waste of space if it was so simple?

Scientists agree the theories are valid, but it is more about the quality (or lack thereof) of stepper drivers, stepper motors, and the voltage delivered to the motors that are at issue. As most 3D printers are assembled with bins of various parts (as opposed to a medical device where all the parts are certified), sometimes it is luck that determines the final product. I have tested these on three different printers and the only noticeable improvement was with the DRV8825 stepper drivers for When you find a good price on them, you can buy them to try out but don't expect too much.

Do you know if this will work with the Qidi Tech1 ?

I'll try to give you a short answer. As a result, the cables are different to those used by the Qidi motherboard. This is the longer version of my answer It's not compatible with the provided cable, but you can make it work using a soldering iron and a wire crimper if you're handy with them. There is a Molex connector on the Qidi Tech 1 motor wires. There is a 156 connector on these boards which plugs into the motherboard. These boards use the Using this board with my Qidi Tech 1 I made 3 adapters (male molex to female jst-xh) so the motor wire could be plugged into this board. The axes are each assigned 1 point. My next step was to make three adapters (molex to jst-xh female) for the board to be plugged into the motherboard of the printer The axes are each assigned 1 point. It is possible that there is a pre-existing condition I had the parts and did not want to wait around for adapters to become available online.

There is a problem with my printer's connections
3/5

I ordered these printers from Amazon when I ordered my Ender 3 printer. My printer did not work when I received the cables since the connections did not match. Due to the fact that I could not try them, I am not sure if they aid. This would be a nice feature to add for these parts if they are comparable to printers. As with everything else in this case, the issue has more to do with Amazon's recommended products.

The look good
4/5

I think they are well made. Its wiring is an exact match to the factory ender 3 board, which means it is simple to plug it in and play, not having to mess with improper connections. Before I received my ender 3, and before I received them, I immediately ordered them, thinking they were a "must have", but later I found out that the issue they "solve" is one already addressed in the newer ender 3 models (which is what I have). I want to say that, despite looking like they are well made and they were priced reasonably, I have not been able to use them. You can accomplish this if you do your homework and if these will really help your unit. I'm not surprised by their quality. Don't just throw away your money but make sure it will benefit your machine.

My prints with the Tevo Little Monsters don't have the salmon skin pattern anymore! To see if these would help eliminate the Salmon Skining on my Tevo Little Monster (delta) prints, I bought these
5/5

Five stars, because they did exactly what they were supposed to do.

[This paragraph has been corrected to fix an error. Plug keying on one of the included extension cables indicated that it was wired in reverse. All went well with the order and it was no problem to fix it. You should check the cables carefully when buying this board (or any other) as I have heard of mis-cabling in the past Wiring mistakes are not uncommon with these, and sometimes they lead to catastrophic problems There will be problems with the wiring. There is a caveat, however A lot of heat is generated by these boards. This is a really hot day It is between 80 and 90 Whenever the motors are powered up, the temperature rises to 90C Printing is not the only time to do this. Based on what I've read, I think this is normal, but you may want to check If you plan to place them, you should consider where you want them to go. It was easier to mount mine near the motors so they wouldn't add a lot In addition, there is already a lot of congestion in the room. You should know that there are two versions of the "TL Smoother" board. In the other, there are two diode pairs per drive line for a total of four diodes on the board. There are some recommendations online that you use two of those four diodes. The smoothing effect of stepper drive lines can be maximized by adding (in series) diode boards to each motor. The board (which contains two diode pairs per drive line for a total of eight diodes on it) is able to perform the same task as two four-phase drives Instead the circuit uses one diode board per stepper motor drive line. Either arrangement works, and the 4-channel array is suitable for both. You might be able to fix things with the diode board. As the Tevo LM has some strong salmon skin artifacting, I chose to use this board, and I'm extremely pleased with it.

You will love them, and they work great! Please take note that not every machine requires these, so make sure that yours is one that needs them, otherwise you could have poor prints
5/5

The following remedies can help if your machine displays a condition known as salmon skin. When I bought these for a couple of machines, I saw significant results on the ones who suffered from a lot of Following the installation, the stepper motors were quieter, and the salmon skin from follow up prints was completely eradicated (especially in In any case, I would not use these if your machine does not have salmon skin. After I printed them on another printer and saw the results, I was hoping they would be even better. The problem is that using them caused printing issues, so I have since removed them from that machine. I believe these are amazing for addressing some issues with print quality, such as salmon skin, but they are not necessary for a machine that prints well without any.

It's noticeable that things have changed
5/5

My CR is up-to-date with them now This is 10s. I was having some problems with layer shifting before these were installed and had to print at a slower speed before they were installed. Printing at higher speeds while still maintaining the quality of my prints is possible with these smoothers. Any potential customer on the fence should consider these without a doubt.

A lot more prints are being produced and the machine is running more efficiently
5/5

The connection has been established with the cloud server In the 10s, they made a lot of improvements, but the motors need to be installed inside the case to the main board. The prints are better, and the machine runs more smoothly.

I think the Tevo Tornado is much better than it used to be
5/5

On the Tevo Tornado, there is a big improvement in quality and servo control. An image shows how they can be installed in a stack using (12) 4mmx15mm nylon standoffs.

I found these to be very helpful in quieting down my printer
5/5

They are notoriously loud and I have an MP Mini delta. There is a printer mount on thingiverse (MPDM Stepper Smoother board mount by ZUK3D) that holds all 3 boards quite nicely and could be used on other printers. I also put these on my 3 tower steppers and the machine is significantly quieter. Printed holders can be inserted inline with an electric motor for easy installation. Simply print the holder, attach it to the motor, and you're ready to print.
