Yes there is. I went to the driver . Very satisfied.

We need all the legs excluding CFG1-3

and I use voltage 1.14.

Are the TMC2100 drivers a dropin replacement for the controllers that are already installed in the printer from TAM?

From what I've heard, they require that you reverse motor polarity (flip the motor connectors around 180 degrees) and maybe change something about the jumpers. More testing is ongoing.

yes moters flip 180 degrees or revers in marlin. Jampers don't change. All Work Perfect

Reporting back: the SilentStepStick drivers I got make the printer so quiet that not even my 2.5 year old recognized that the printer was running (if he had, he would have run over to it, yelling "print! print!")...so that is a very good test on how silent these stepper drivers really are!

I am now getting y-skips, so I need to see if one of the drivers maybe isn't working correctly, though.....

Does it fix corduroy issues?

Has anyone seen issues with the TMC2100 / SilentStepStick drivers? I was getting Y-skips, but I could not pin it down....until I thought that maybe they were heat related....the IC on these boards is on the underside so after attaching a heatsink to the underside, as well as on the top side, and waiting until my garage cooled down from a hot day, I was able to get a good print. (all running at 1.14v)

The stock drivers were able to print in heat stronger than what I had today, so maybe these are more prone to issues when it is hot?

And on my second printer, I was also getting Y-skips after about 30 minutes without the heatsinks. On this second printer I also applied these:

(actually two of these on the tops of each driver)...and was able to get a good print, even in a warm garage. I would suggest trying these heatsinks if you get the SilentStepSticks.

Y hase problem with left belt. I make new parts for fix it. In my topic i write it. And need automatic belt tension for all axys.

[nkloski]

Was that Y-belt problem causing skips?

[mrSEADEMON]

automatic belt tension fix you problem. Printer can make skips if belt tension not good. Change Y parts fix vibration problems
