My existing screen on the printer is an LCD2004 clone, so it looks like the SKR1.4 would give me a better chance of it working.

Some great info on the SKR 1.4 setup.

Thanks lowfat, that's perfect! My board should be here Monday.

If you're interested in a custom Marlin variant, this video is WELL worth watching. I'm planning to run this Cheetah 5.0 Marlin variant on my SKR, since it seems to support everything I have natively (the SKR 1.4 turbo, the Ender 5 Plus, the 12864 LCD screen, etc). I found this video exceptionally informative:

Hrmmmm.... Belt tensioners, Filament feed knob, parts drawer, silent motherboard.....

That's half the printed upgrades folks did with their original ender 3s....

Wow those are some nice upgrades. TBH the less you have to do out of the box the better.

@Bartacus Have you installed your new extruder yet? Im returning mine, im looking for a higher end one, not sure as high end as yours but still.
Anyone have suggestions of a good extruder feeder system?
Im seeing some printed ones, not sure though..

No sir, I have not. I still need to make a decision about a proper hot end first. Then after that, I plan to go crazy and do all the mods at once, because you're not supposed to do that, and I'm a rebel. Once I make up my mind, I'll install my new board / direct drive / extruder / hot end all at once.

Found a blade to my part cooling fan on my bed today. Noticed it is missing 2 others. It's even a good Nidec fan.

I was planning on making a Mouser order in the near future thankfully. So I can grab some 50mmx20mm NMB's for about $16 each. But I'd need to redesign the fan nozzle + hot end mount to accomodate the fat fan. Or I can grab some Deltas for about $25.

Oh crap, that sucks.. you have a few printers though luckily don't you?
