Wiring done

in Proforge 3 Assembly

Just as a heads up for those with the Octoprint upgrade: there are no mounting holes for the 5V to USB converter…


you also have to bend the camera mount

What do you recommend? Drilling some mounting holes or double sided tape?

If you have an M3 nut left over, you can drill a hole. I’ve fixed mine temporarily with zip ties.

I'll drill a hole then. Seems nicer. Haven't received mine yet btw. I was expecting the firmware to already be done though with 2-3 months of delay....

@Akisame - they must’ve already flashed it for the prototype to work, so releasing the file shouldn’t be difficult at all…

Whatever, I’m currently trying to get Klipper to work. If I get some results I’ll share :)

@Johannes Weis Ooh, with you having this thing set up. Could you check if they fixed the z-axis issue? (since they used the Two Trees Sapphire Plus as the basis for this printer and that one was known for this issue)

That’s my wiring so far, but I'll Solder the cables for the two Z-axis a bit shorter because one of the two came damaged >.<


I ordered without the PI upgrade and used my own and so far, it looks like the board delivers enough power to run the Pi. In a few days I guess I’ll see, how it runs when the second screen is connected :-)

Good to hear that you can power Pi off the mainboard. Which Raspberry Pi are you using?

@Gregory Zilber I’ve got the 4B. powering through the board is possible, but I recommend switching to a buck converter because the board delivers a bit under 5V. Did that too and I am very glad I did it :)
