Klipper Configuration for a SKR 1.3 Mainboard in a Creality CR-10S 3D Printer
Because of a defect, I replaced the original Mainboard of a Creality CR-10S 3D Printer with a SKR 1.3 Mainboard with TMC2209 stepper drivers. As I am using Klipper, I needed to write a configuration file to use the CR-10S.
The CR-10S has a dual Z axis with two different stepper motors. The SKR 1.3 has support for 5 drivers: X, Y, Z, Extruder 0, Extruder 1
I didn't like the idea to connect two stepper motors to one driver (as Creality did on their original mainboard) and I only have one extruder, I used the second extruder driver to drive the second Z axis. This option is supported in Klipper.
So I connected the 2nd Z axis to the E1 connector on the mainboard and it worked without a flaw.
There might be some room for improvement of the configuration, but this at least works.
