Please Ensure the Heat Sinks are Installed Before Use
- Note on the Orientation of the Stepper Motor Driver’s Heat Sinks
- Place the heat sinks for the stepper motor drivers so that the orientation of the fins on the heat sinks are parallel to the air flow from the fan(s) once the MCU board is installed in its mounting bracket. Ensure the heat sinks are not touching the solder joints on the MCU board. Please note, that your placement of heat sinks may be different from the orientation shown below.

After I have Wired up the MCU Board, What Comes Next?
-
Once the MCU board is wired up and wire management has been performed, the next step is to install Mainsail/Fluidd or Octoprint, please see The Build ═► Software Installation
-
Once Mainsail/Fluidd or Octoprint has been installed, the next step is to compile and install the Klipper Firmware. The firmware should be compiled for the AVR atmega2560, for Einsy Rambo boards sold by Ultimaker.
- For Einsy Rambo boards sold Prusa, please see the following article
-
Once the MCU board has the Klipper Firmware Installed, the next step is to create/edit the Klipper Config file (skr-pico-v1.0.cfg rename it to printer.cfg) to ensure your Voron build matches your Klipper Config file, please see the file located here; Select “SW Einsy Rambo”;
-
Please use the PIN Diagram, displayed here, as a source of information.
-
Please consult The Build ═► Software Configuration on how to edit the Klipper Config file.
-
-
After creating/editing the Klipper Config file (einsy_config.cfg renamed to printer.cfg), the next step is to check all the motors and the mechanics of the Voron printer, please see The Build ═► Initial Startup Checks
