Voron2.4_My_Build_Log/README.md

## This is a Build Log for my Voron 2.4 250 mm DIY 3D Printer called "QUEEN":

My Voron 2.4 3D Printer has a name "QUEEN".

This repository contains wiring diagrams, specification sheets, any documentation I use to complete my Voron 2.4 build. I also am including aesthetic designs for QUEEN's back panel and side panels.

## Mother board I plan on using:

I will be using the Octopus Pro V1.0 board as the mother board for my Voron 2.4 printer.
I will be powering my TMC5160 PRO stepper motor drivers with 48V DC.

## Planning Phase:

I am ~~still planning~~ done planning my Voron 2.4 build.

I have all my PIF parts and sourced all my parts via "sub-kits".  This will be explained later.

I wanted to post an Excel spreadsheet for sourcing all my "sub-kits" or individual items for my Voron 2.4 ~~, but I need to remove it from a bigger spreadsheet I have been using to keep track of a lot of different information.  After I get done with the electronics case wiring diagram, I will work on providing an~~ [Here is the Excel spreadsheet as a sourcing guide for my Voron 2.4](/QUEEN_Sourcing_BOM).

## MODS I plan for QUEEN:

### Fusion 360 CAD files and STEP files:

I have spent 3 months creating the 3D model of my QUEEN Voron 2.4 250mm³ build.

I have used the CAD models from each MOD (listed below) and incorporated the respective MOD's CAD model into my QUEEN Fusion 360 model.  After working in Fusion 360 for the past 3 months I have become aware of a couple of things:

1.  When exporting sub-Assemblies from Fusion 360 in .STEP format the only sub-assemblies that get put into the STEP file are the sub-assemblies that are visable at the time the exported STEP file is created.  So when you use STEP files expect all the sub-assemblies to be visable when you first open up the STEP file.  You will have to turn off the options that you do not want to see after you upload the STEP file to Fusion 360 (or your CAD software).

2. If a MOD did not have a Fusion 360 CAD model, I used the .stl files from the MOD and used Fusion 360 to convert the .stl files into parametric bodies.

3.  If you upload .f3d sub-Assembly file and all sub-assembly options are turn on, then please just turn off the sub-assemblies you do not want to see. Sometimes, I exported the .STEP files at the same time I was creating the .f3d files, so I might have left options turned on so I could save the .STEP file.

4. I have noticed that if one uses the "save a copy as ..." option that parts will loose their postion (x,y,z).  So to create the sub-assemblies I did a  "copy" to the clip board and then placed the clip board contents into a new file and saved that file.


GadgetAngel's Voron 2.4 Fusion 360 CAD model (.f3d) and (.STEP) files:

The full model for QUEEN has a fusion 360 (.f3d) file and STEP file.  The STEP file for the full model has been integrated by myself from all the sub-assemblies STEP files. This way I could check the sub-assembly files to ensure that they were created correctly.

### ".STL List" of files needed for each MOD:

I will be publishing a folder of .stl files for all the printed parts I am using for my QUEEN build, including the ones from my PIF parts ~~(comming soon)~~.

My intent is to list the files needed in each Sub-Assembly and indicate which ".stl files" need to be replaced or exchanged for a MODed ".stl" file.  I think an EXCEL spreadsheet would help with this task and can be found [here](/The_.STL_Files/Excel_Spreadsheet_.stl_files).

The ".STL" files for my QUEEN Voron 2.4 build can be found [here](./The_.STL_Files/Copy_of_.STLs_forQUEEN_As_Built_will-not-be-updated)

## How I Calculated the Power Requirements for my Voron 2.4 Build:

I know a lot of you already know the answer but for the rest of us that are still learning about bipolar stepper motors and stepper drivers I will describe the process I used.  I never realized that the motors I own are **bipolar-series motors**.

To me when things are connected in series the wires are daisy-chained together (positive lead1, negative lead1 is connected to positive lead2, negative lead2).

When things are wired in parallel then the positive leads are connected together and the negative leads are connected together.

So I thought the 3D printer motors where connected together in parallel on the 3D printer, which they are. If you look at the **system in a "macro" view** not a "micro" view.

My problem was not understanding the term "series" and "parallel" when it applies to the internal wiring of the 4-wire bipolar motor (a "micro" view).

I had to look at an 8-wire bipolar motor before I actually got it through my thick head.

Maybe this will help others:

[Drawing of 8 wire bipolar-parallel motor](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://buildbotics.com/content/images/2019/09/8wireParallel.png&imgrefurl=https://buildbotics.com/wiring-stepper-motors/&tbnid=HgNwYdr3N6uCPM&vet=1&docid=NKxfcF59LDIYkM&w=735&h=411&source=sh/x/im)

[Drawing of 8 wire bipolar-series motor](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fbuildbotics.com%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2019%2F09%2F8wireSeries.png&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fbuildbotics.com%2Fwiring-stepper-motors%2F&tbnid=c1vZXhJLkcsohM&vet=12ahUKEwinr7uN1aXzAhUGFKwKHYYtChEQMygJegUIARCzAg..i&docid=NKxfcF59LDIYkM&w=716&h=395&q=stepper%20driver%20schematic%20with%20bipolar%20motor%20series&ved=2ahUKEwinr7uN1aXzAhUGFKwKHYYtChEQMygJegUIARCzAg)

So ALL my motors are 4-wire bipolar-series motors!

 To Determine the amount of Power Required for your Voron 2.4 build:

 Fact: During a Z Hope move 6 motors will be active at a time.

 Fact:  Extruder (E) Motor LDO-42STH20-1004ASH:
		Rated Peak current: 1.0A/ Phase

 Fact:  Z motors and AB motors are LD0-42STH40-2004MAH
		Rated Peak current: 2.0A / Phase

 Rule of Thumb (https://robotics.stackexchange.com/questions/14071/how-to-calculate-my-power-supply-voltage-and-current):

 1. Power_supply_current = number_of_motors * 1/3 * motor_peak_current for "bipolar-series motors" (All LDO motors are bipolar-Series Motors!)

 2. Power_supply_current = number_of_motors * 2/3 * motor_peak_current for "bipolar-parallel motors"

 Since ALL LDO motors I own are bipolar-Series Motors we will use Rule of Thumb #1 ONLY!

 Power_ supply_current = (5 * 1/3 * 2.0 Amps) + (1 * 1/3 * 1.0A) = 3.333 + 0.333 = 3.6667 or 4 Amps.

 So for **my bipolar-series motors** I want to know many Watts of power is 4 Amps at 48 VDC?

 Answer: Watts = Volts * Amps

 So, 48VDC * 4 Amp = 192 Watts or 200 Watts PSU (if the PSU supplies the full power without an aluminum plate for heat dissipation [PSU's Derating Curve]).

Options for powering my Voron 2.4 printer at 48 VDC, and 24 VDC (running all HT motors from LDO at 48VDC) with the following:

See UHP-200 Spec Data sheet : https://www.meanwellusa.com/upload/pdf/UHP-200(R)/UHP-200-spec.pdf

See UHP-350 Spec Data sheet : https://www.meanwellusa.com/upload/pdf/UHP-350(R)/UHP-350-spec.pdf

See UHP-500 Spec Data sheet : https://www.meanwellusa.com/upload/pdf/UHP-500(R)/UHP-500-spec.pdf

If you are having a hard time finding UHP-xxx series of power supplies, there are two names for these UHP supplies.  One name is UHP-350-24, UHP-350-48 and so on. While the other name is UHP-350R-24, UHP-350R-48 and so on.  The extra "R" in the model number just indicates that you have the option of wiring 2 power supplies in parallel.  The "R" version will work if you can not find the regular version to buy.

So I could use option 3 & 4 **OR** 5 & 6.

Since I plan on LEDS; running a Raspberry Pi 4B with a solid state disk drive (via USB 3.1 interface instead of using a Micro-SD card); and a camera, I want to have enough power to add extras to the Voron Build.

I opted to buy the following:

    A. UHP-500-48 for my 48VDC supply
    B. UHP-500-24 for my 24VDC supply
    C. RS-25-5 for my 5VDC supply
    D. UHP-200-12 for my 12VDC supply.

I will use the Octopus Pro to power the stepper motor drivers, heater cartridge, temperature sensors, limit switches, and generate signals on PINs to control stuff, but I do not plan on powering stuff off the Octopus Pro board that is considered optional equipment like LEDs, and endoscope or cameras.  Since my Raspberry Pi (running Klipper) is the brains of this setup, I will be using a solid state drive to act as the disk drive for the Raspberry Pi.  This adds additional current draw and the Raspberry Pi will have its own 5V PSU.

All my LEDS are 12VDC or 24VDC. So that is why I am running a separate 12VDC PSU and added additional current capability to my 24VDC supply.

I plan on running all TMC5160 (HV) PRO stepper motor drivers for all my motors on QUEEN.
I know this is an overkill but if I want the power it will be there. I am lazy, and I do not want to redo wiring at a later date.

~~I am hoping I can fit all of this in my electronics case for a 250 mm build.~~ Edited: There is not enough room for all the PSU and all the electronics therefore I developed my own "Litter Box" Mod so I can keep the AC Power in the bottom electronic's case and use my "Litter Box" for the DC electronic components.

I explain the "Litter Box" Mod at https://github.com/GadgetAngel/Voron2.4_My_Build_Log/tree/main/Electronics_Case_Wiring_Diagram/Litter_Box_Mod

1/5/2022:  I finished the AC wiring diagram for the QUEEN build today. From doing the wiring diagram
I determined that I needed to make some adjustements in my power supplies and do more work with the 3D model layout.

One of the requirements for my Voron 2.4 printer is that I want to be able to reboot the Voron 2.4 printer without requiring me to reboot Mainsail or Fluidd (the Raspberry Pi) along with the printer's motherboard and power supplies.  To accomplish this goal, I have decided that my Raspberry Pi will always remain powererd up. It can be shut down thruogh the BIG RED mushroom button but typically it will always be turned on while the Voron 2.4 printer may not be turned on.

I also want to use some extra features with my Voron 2.4 printer, like, filament runout sensor, filament jam detection, automtic shutdown after print job has finished, and resume 3D print after power failure.

The filament runout sensor and filament jam detection will be looked at when I do the DC wiring diagram for the electronic case (which I will be working on next).  The "automatic shutdown after print job has finished" and "resume 3D print after power failure" features needed to be looked at while doing the AC electrical wiring.

These two features have been incorporated into the AC electrical wiring diagram.  I am using BTT's relay V1.2 to perform the "automatic shutdown after print finishes" feature and I am using BTT's UPS module to perform the "resume 3D print after power failure" feature.  I also added in another set of relays to allow the Raspberry Pi to remotely shutdown the Voron 2.4 printer (along with the PSU, except for the PSU that supplies 5VDC power for the Raspberry Pi). I also have a mechanical Hour-counter and Engergy Meter incorporated in the front and side skirt of my Voron 2.4 printer that I need to control.  The Energy Meter will always be on when the Voron 2.4 printer is powered up (it is located on the right-hand side of my printer).  The mechanical Hour-Counter will only run when the Voron 2.4 printer is actually producing a 3D part and is located on the front skirt.  This way I can see the number of actual hours of print time. This Hour-Counter runs thruogh a relay so I can control when it is turn on.

The BTT's relay V1.2 are relays that are normally closed (NC) so when I added my additional relay I needed to ensure that I could configure it to be NC.  The relay that controls the Hour-counter is NO type of relay.

I also want the capability to use momentary switches on the left-hand side and right-hand side of my printer to power up or down the Voron 2.4.  These momentary switches are active low and are hardwired directly into the relays so that software is not needed to control them.  I call these my "hardware reboot switches".  These switches will only reboot the Voron 2.4 (not the Raspberry Pi).  The switch that is on the back of the Voron 2.4 will reboot both the Raspberry Pi and the Voron 2.4 printer.  I will also mount a "mini Red push button (momentary switch)" to one of the keyholes on the Voron 2.4 skirt which allows me to reboot the Voron 2.4 printer via the BTT's relay V 1.2 modules.

Since I want the Raspberry Pi to be "alway ON" I need to buy another 5V power supply.  I decided to remover the UHP-200-12 PSU and replace that unit with a PSU that is two PSU in one unit.  I bought a Meanwell RD-50A PSU which has a 5VDC PSU (@ 6 Amps) and 12VdC PSU (@ 2Amps) in one metal box.  Since the Stealthburner has been realeased as a beta, I have added it to my Voron 2.4 printer and ended up switching all my LEDs from 12VDC to 5VDC.  I will be using Adafruit Neopixels LEDs only and they only work at 5 Volts.  So I down sized my 12V supply and doubled my 5V power supply.

The Meanwell RS-25-5 will be the power supply that always remains on and is attached to the external UPS [APC UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, BX1500M Backup Battery Power Supply](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VY6FXMM) along with Voron 2.4 printer.  I am using a "BIG RED" button or mushroom button between teh APC UPS unit and the power input (filtered power inlet) for the Voron 2.4 printer.  I am using this for saftey reason only.  The mushroom box assembly will have a long power cord so I can place it where ever I want to.  I also have smoke detector located above the 3D printer.

I my AC electrical diagram you will see thing like "grounding straps" and "Ferrite core filters".  These are present to help reduce cross talk.

Logically I have 5 power supplies, two 5V PSU, one 12V PSU, one 24V PSU and one 48V PSU.  One PSU combines two of these into one PSU (Meanwell RD-50A combines a 5V PSU and 12V PSU into one PSU).

In the AC electrical wiring diagram some of the lines are thicker than the others. I did this on purpose so that you will automatically recognize the AC lines from the DC lines.  The AC lines are thicker and are distributed using UK2.5 terminal blocks.  The DC lines are thin and use WAGO nuts for distrubution blocks.

Since the Raspberry Pi is a 3.3V logic device, I use [3.6V Zener Diodes](https://www.amazon.com/Chanzon-34-Values-Zener-Assorted/dp/B07BTWBXJ3) for over voltage protection on the Raspberry Pi's GPIO lines when using a 5VDC power supply for the 4-channel relay module to activate the relay's coils.

## "Wiring_Harness_Diagram" for QUEEN:

This is the wiring harness diagram I developed for my Voron 2.4 build, it is also in the directory called "Wiring_Harness_Diagram".

Please take notice of the "Notes" section on the "Wiring_Harness_Diagram".

To ensure you see it, I am going to repeat it here:

```
Note about the Hartk1213 v3.rabbit board:
If the jumper pads on the back of the v3.rabbit are configured
incorrectly you could end up damaging your Octopus Pro mother board!!

Because there are two different versions of this Toolhead board around (let’s call them version #1,
and version #2), before powering on your printer, please ensure that the jumper pads on the back of
the v3.rabbit Toolhead board are properly configure for your FANS and ABL!

How to tell which version of the v3.rabbit Toolhead board you own:

If you turn the board over on its back, you will see a bank of jumper pads.  For version #1 of the
v3.rabbit Toolhead board has 4 columns by 3 rows of jumper pads.  For version #2 of v3.rabbit
Toolhead board has 3 columns by 3 rows of jumper pads.  If you have version #1 of the v3.rabbit
Toolhead board (4 columns by 3 rows of jumper pads) than you are responsible for bridging the
jumper pads to your desired voltage (in my case I would solder a bridge to 24VDC for ABL, PCF, HEF,
and FS).  If you have version #2 of the v3.rabbit Toolhead board (3 columns by 3 rows of jumper
pads) than all the selectable voltages default to 24VDC!

Here is what the labels mean:
ABL means auto bed leveling or an inductive probe or the proximity sensor connector;  PCF means
Part Cooling Fan; HEF means Hotend Fan; and FS means Filament Switch Sensor.

For version #1 of the v3.rabbit board, the columns are labeled from left to right: ABL, PCF, HEF,
FS. For version #2 of the v3.rabbit board, the columns are labeled from left to right: ABL, PCF,
HEF.

For version #1 and version #2 the rows are: 1st row is 24VDC; 2nd row is (ABL, PCF, or HEF, {only
on Version #1 FS}); and 3rd row is 5VDC.

If you have version #2 and you want 5VDC, you are going to cut the trace to the 24VDC on the
desired PIN (ABL, PCF or HEF)!
```

## How Well Will Your Motors Perform on a Voron Build?

You need to look at the torque curve for your motors and see how your motors perform at different voltages.

Here is an Excel spreadsheet that can help you: https://github.com/eddietheengineer/documentation/tree/master/stepper_motor/data

To download the spreadsheet, just click on the file named ["motor_torque_sim_v7_database.xlsm"](https://github.com/eddietheengineer/documentation/blob/master/stepper_motor/data/motor_torque_sim_v7_database.xlsm) and hit the download button.

Once the Excel spreadsheet "motor_torque_sim_v7_database.xlsm" has downloaded, open it up in Excel but remember to "Enable" editing. If you do not enable editing you will not be able to see the "torque curve" graph. Also, the motors that are graphed can be chosen from a dropdown list. The voltage you run the stepper motors at can also be entered as can the current level.

Here are examples of Torque Curves produced by the Excel Spreadsheet:

As you will see when you go from 24V to 48V you can move faster. Also notice that when you go from 48V to 60V the gain is smaller than the jump from 24V to 48V!

Here is the Torque Curve for the specified stepper motors at 24 VDC:

![Motor Torque Curve for 24V](images/Motor_Torque_Curve_for_24V.jpg)

Here is the Torque Curve for the same specified stepper motors at 48 VDC:

![Motor Torque Curve for 48V](images/Motor_Torque_Curve_for_48V.jpg)

Here is the Torque Curve for the same specified stepper motors at 60 VDC:

![Motor Torque Curve for 60V](images/Motor_Torque_Curve_for_60V.jpg)


As you can see when you go from 24V to 48V you can move faster. Also notice that when you go from 48V to 60V the gain is smaller than the jump from 24V to 48V!

## The Original BIGTREETECH Wiring Diagram for the Octopus Pro V1.0:

![Original Wiring Diagram](images/BIGTREETECH-Octopus-Pro-V1.0-Original-Wiring-Diagram.jpg)

## BIGTREETECH has a GitHub repository for the Octopus Pro V1.0:

The BIGTREETECH GitHub repository for Octopus Pro is located at https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-OCTOPUS-Pro

## BIGTREETECH has a GitHub repository for the Octopus V1.0/1.1 Board:

The BIGTREETECH GitHub repository for Octopus 1.0/1.1 is located at https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-OCTOPUS-V1.0

This repository also has information on how to wire up an Octopus V1.0/V1.1 board for a Voron Build and is located at https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-OCTOPUS-V1.0/tree/master/Octopus%20works%20on%20Voron%20v2.4/Firmware

## Klipper firmware supports the Octopus Pro V1.0 board:

Here is the link to the config file on GitHub for the Octopus pro V1.0 board https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-bigtreetech-octopus.cfg.

If you are using the "PROBE" connector for a proximity sensor you will need to add a [probe] section to the "generic-bigtreetech-octopus.cfg" file and ensure that the sensor_pin: PC5

There is only two PINs that are different between the Octopus V1.1 pin-out and the Octopus Pro V1.0 pin-out. The Octopus V1.1 pin-out has PC5 on the EXP2 connector but on the Octopus Pro V1.0 this pin on the EXP2 connector is now "Not Connected (NC)".

The second PIN difference is that on the Octopus V1.1 pin-out PB7 is the signal PIN used on the PROBE/SENSOR connector and on the BLTouch header but on the Octopus Pro V1.0 the signal pin on the PROBE connector is PC5.  Which means that on the Octopus V1.1 board you can only use either a BLTouch or a Proximity Sensor but NOT both. On the Octopus Pro V1.0 since the signal pins for the PROBE connector is different from the BLTouch, if you wanted to, you could use both ports.

If you plan to use a voltage higher than 24V on MOTOR_POWER_IN then please pay attention to the footnote #1 on the "Color PIN Diagram".

You may need to change the Fuse on the MB_POWER_IN. To calculate the maximum amps you will be using on the MB_POWER_IN connection you will need to know the maximum amps allowed on the 24VDC rail for the motherboard.

To calculate the maximum amps allowed on the 24VDC rail on mother board:

 (the four heaters {HE0-HE3}, 3.3VDC rail, 5VDC rail, and 12VDC rail are all produced from the 24VDC rail).

 The maximum amps for 3.3VDC rail is 1 Amp.

 The maximum amps for the 5VDC rail is 8 Amps.

 The maximum amps for 12VDC rail is 4 Amps.

 So the total maximum amps for 3.3VDC rail + 5VDC rail + 12VDC rail is equal to 13 Amps, but the amps needed to run the four heaters needs to be added to this value.

 Since BIGTREETECH supplies us with a 20 Amp fuse, then BIGTREETECH is saying that you have 7 more Amps available for all four heater ports or 1.75 Amps / heater cartridge. Just do not use more than 7 Amps on any combination of the four heater {HE0-HE3} ports!

Please use the "Color PIN Diagram" in [BTT_Octopus_Pro_V1.0_Color_PIN_Diagram](https://github.com/GadgetAngel/BTT_Octopus_Color_PIN_Diagram/tree/main/BTT_Octopus_Pro_V1.0_Color_PIN_Diagram) to obtain the correct PIN assignments.

If you decide to flash a new bootloader to the Octopus Pro V1.0 board (you should not need to because you can upload the new Klipper firmware using the micro-SD card reader) and find that the micro-SD card bootloader no longer works you will want to return the board to its shipment state by finding the original bootloader and "bootlaoder+firmware" files at https://github.com/GadgetAngel/BTT_SKR_13_14_14T_SD-DFU-Bootloader/tree/main/bootloader_bin/backed_up_original_bootloaders
