fivebot printer setup guide

While one of the overall goals is to keep everything modular and play nice with other mods, there is some general thinking and recommendations for the printer setup that will be covered here. Hopefully to provide some good reference points and guidance.

Main control board

Stock board config will be provided, with a strong recommendation to upgrade to a board with 5 independent stepper drivers. Main suggestions are BTT SKR 3 and BTT Octopus 1.1, preferably purchased in a bundle with 5 or more TMC2209 drivers. Configuration will be provided for both of these boards.

Probe

It is highly recommended to install a probe to enable auto bed tilt adjustment with the dual Z mod. Which probes are available depends on toolhead/shroud implemented. If you have the stock toolhead a CR Touch or BL Touch is the simplest way too start.

Klipper

The Klipper firmware will be central to the printer setup and mods.
