@Maestro Hi Maestro, I’m Chris. I came across this thread when booking up information on the F430, I recently purchased one a couple of months ago and started getting neck deep into it, I’ve already got a new main board and stepper drivers, all high temperature stepper motors, insulated the entire chamber and filament chambers, liquid cool every stepper motor, as well as extruders, I’m fascinated with what you’ve done with yours, the electronics I haven’t started on yet. I have the board and a raspberry PI 4B I plan on running klipper with, and I don’t intend on keeping any of the original wiring. Everything is so far off from any new electronics. it’s a futile effort to try to get them to synchronize, I’m just gonna start fresh. I’m fascinated with the electronic site especially of what you’ve done with yours looks like you did a great job, my cooling system is a bit different., I CNC machined 5 mm aluminum housings to attach right to the back of the Nema 17 and they have two M 6 holes that are threaded to dancers to 4 mm Capricorn tubing that leads into 6 mm pneumatic tubing to a large pump, reservoir, and radiator. One loop on the extruders and hot end for steppers and extruders, and one loop on all other steppers. The insulation is adhesive insulation with reflective interior. Basically the same as any high temperature printer with insulation, but I could use some advice on the electrical aspect, I’m very technologically and mechanically inclined, but this is not exactly something I have experience with 3-D printers. I always figure things out, but a little advice would go along way. Appreciate any time you would consider spending talking to me about it.

Hey guys, I found this thread in a Google search, and made an account so I could reach out. I recently bought a creatbot F430 and I’m trying to see what I need to make it Wi-Fi compatible, compatible with other slicers, and more modern and easy to use. This is my fifth 3-D printer, second 3-D printer, and I’m very familiar with G code and CNC machine, metal, turning, etc. i’m just trying to figure out the electronics part I’m already insulating and adding heat sources, I was hoping for some input on firmware and hardware for the electronics upgrades? If anyone has some tips, I would greatly appreciate the advice.
