Stealthburner

March,25-2023
First layer is crucial,if its not stick to bedplate it will defect the part look and perhaps function. 
Adding light near by the extrution help us to watch the first layer as it print and tweak or adjust the nozzle height. 


I use RGB light strip that i have from the chamber light. Carefully cut it and slide it to place on the bottom.
the logo light place holder(back side)
logo light place holder(front side)

Wiring it was easy, need 3 wire (5v, GND and Din) see the arrow on the RGB light strip. Note: Din = Data In, Data from mainboard to rgb light mark with arrow. Dout or Data Out is to connecting the other RGB light and so on.
The plan is to connect at the end of my existing chamber light, and hope it work.

ENDER 3 V2 upgrade firmware

Since the Voron build is on hold, I've been tweaking Ender 3v2(keeping my head busy :) ) from stock firmware to Marlin 2.1. Why Marlin?... there a new feature that help you achieve good result of printing with less effort. There is a lot of firmware out there to choose, but I chosen Marlin firmware, because unlike Klipper that need Raspberry Pi to run it.... Marlin firmware is the native 3D Printing firmware, its open source, doesn't need to buy extra compute module that cost you half of the printer price itself, with a little knowledge, information and understanding the limit of your 3D Printer its had a lot feature you can unlock. 
But if you want a shortcut, you can try Jyer's firmware (if I'm not mistaken it's base on Marlin 2.0). From the first month I'd got the printer, I've already flash my ender with Jyer's firmware. 
Now, my ender running Marlin 2.1 with Automatic Universal Bed Leveling feature.
I will post the tutorial.... (I'll edited this post daily for complete tutorial)

New feature of Marlin 2.1.1 that i need is Magnetically Mounted Probe,. Work well with Klackender probe by Kevin aka Sam.
