I'm the origional porter of the D3 mini to klipper

Hi - I run my D3 Mini5+ at 1.6A RMS with extensive heatsinking (on the back of the board, not on the plastic chip casing) with those settings. I have independently verified that the sense resistor (for klipper, since klipper assumes the .02) and that its correctly delivering current.

Klipper will immediately throw an error if your TMC chips are getting to hot. I wouldn't worry about it unless you see error messages.

As for your motors getting hot - do you know what their rated currents are? If they are rated for low-current use (say, rated for 1A) then running 1A RMS would result in ~80C casing temps, which would definitely burn.

Please investigate the motor ratings, I fully expect the mini is doing what's asked of it.

@phaedrux Thanks for all your help, I did finally realize something that was quite confusing. the 5v select jumper you mentioned is labeled as such on the silkscreen on the board but in the board diagram image that you sent as well as the ones from setup tutorial's it is labeled as 5V source. Not sure why I didn't connect the 5v select you mentioned and that I finally saw on the board and the 5v source pin diagram I looked over quite a few times. Again, thanks for all your help with troubleshooting and have a nice day

Sincerely,

Thunder
