Hardware
- screen is Big Tree Tech TFT35-E3 V3.0
- mainboard is Big Tree Tech SKR Mini E3 V2.0
- power supply is Mean Well RSP-500-24 (the good one, not first release of this printer that had a shitty one)
- Printhead is Micro Swiss Direct Drive and All-Metal Hot end
- Probe is official BL-Touch (which is stock on the E5P)
- it should be set and forget, don't think it needs to be recalibrated ever unless some hardware thing changes
- can use 'babystep' feature to live z-adjust during printing
- refer to this for setting the probe offset https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_1Kg45APko
Software
To use pronterface to control the printer, first power up the printer, then connect the usb cable to your computer. On win10 it should auto-detect and possibly install 'maple' (wtf that is lol). Baud 115200
Calibration notes
- using the built in e-steps I got 137.85 steps/mm

Slicer Settings
* Using Cura, seems to be what most people are using
- flow settings are "hard-baked" into extrusion values in the gcode. So if you set flow to 95% in cura, there will NOT be an M221 S95 command in the gcode and so the printer will say on its screen that flow is 100%, but really the flow has been reduced.
