  2. New CNC hollowed-out POM 50t gear, higher intensity, more precise

  3. Isolate the gear positioning, seamless installation, more precise, check the blue part below.

5. Mods

We make some mods for different machine application cases.

6. Matters need attention

You need to change your E stepper AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT parameter. Like Ender3 as an example, you need to set AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT to 870 using our Sherpa mini rev1.5. How to change it?

Marlin - Ender3

Method 1: Change the parameter on your firmware

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT   { 80, 80, 400, 870 }

Method 2: Send Gcode to change it

M92 E870
M500

For some printers, you may need to adjust the stepper motor E current to prevent overtemp on the stepper motor. Like Ender3, we recommend to set it to 0.35A.
