Omni200

The omni200 printer is manufacturer by OEM Goofoo, and sold by the polish company Omni3d. The original OEM product is sold under several names:







Renkforce Pro6 Goofoo Mido Omni3d Omni200

The printer has an enclosure and allows for printing with materials which require this, like ABS. The construction of the printer is sturdy and allows accurate and recurring printing results. The controller is an STM32 - Chitu based. Operation of the printer is due to trinamic stepper drivers very silent.

Between these products it is likely that also controllers (Chitu-based) are slightly different.

Some internet forums describing this product can be seen here:

Printhead modification

The omni200 printhead is connected via a strand of wrapped cables which are attached to a holder at the beginning and at the end. The wrapping consists of some kind of fabric sticky tape and does not really provide a means to control bending radius. To improve this, the best would be to swap the cables for an FFC-cable, which on it its own provides enough flexibility and sturdiness to carry its own weight and still bend evenly under all circumstances.

Another major advantage of using an FFC-cable is that it offers a few more wires, which can be used for future extensions, like a laser-based proximity sensor (see here for a description and pictures, or an additional filament runout sensor.

The main modification consists of two new circuit boards, one to be attached to the rear of the inner housing and one to be mounted on the printhead itself. Since the circuit board at the printhead kept the same connectors, crimping of cables was not required. At the other end of the FFC-cable, the circuit board which was mounted at the back plate, required the cables from the controller board to be shortened and crimped.

The main changes where done in roughly four steps:

  1. To let the FFC-cable keep its maximum bending radius it was necessary to mill away the top of the right guide on the X-axis. Another advantage of this was that it reduced some weight.
  2. A cutout and 3 holes were needed at the back plate for mounting the (stationary) circuit board.
  3. An aluminum bracket was engraved to keep the right fan into place. The original bracket was much larger and made out of iron. The aluminum reduced the weight as well further.
  4. Holes at the circuit board at the head carriage were located at the same location where the original holes where, so the mounting of this board was straightforward.

Some pictures of the design:

A short video of the printer and cable in action can be seen here:

After about three months of use the FFC-cable solution is stable and no issues have been seen. To protect the circuit boards and the printer, small enclosures for the PCBs were designed and printed, which looks like:

enclosures for the two circuit boards as well as a guide for the FFC-cable

Heated bed - Build plate

The omni200 build plate consists of an aluminum plate with a flexible circuit board glued to the bottom. On the top there is a magnetic layer which holds an iron plate (about 2mm thick) into place. Then on the other side of the iron plate you can find the so-called Magnetic build plate for 3D printers.

After some usage with printing ABS, the iron plate may get stuck, like glued, to the lower magnetic layer and as such cannot be separated from each other anymore. The problem with this is that upon heating, the bottom aluminum plate expands differently than the iron plate and as such warping to some degree will happen.

A solution for this, is to -as long as it is still possible- remove the iron and build plate from the lower magnetic layer and use a powder coated PEI plate instead. Information about the plate:

  • Supplier: https://www.cr-3d.de
  • Art. No. 3D-SWAP-PWPEI-250250
  • Description: Powder Coated PEI 250 x 250 (VORON), Federstahlplatte inkl. doppelseitiger Powder Coated PEI Beschichtung,
  • Thickness: 0.5mm
  • Cost: 41.93 Euro

See also: https://www.vorondesign.com/sourcing_guide

According to the company which produces the Omni200, there are some safety concerns with the connector at the heated bed, which seems to be not rated for the current which it consumes and may melt. It is recommended to replace this with the following:

  • 1x MOLEX 39012080 - Mini-Fit JR - 2×4 pin - Connector
  • 1x MOLEX 39301080 - Mini-Fit JR - 2×4-pin - Angular PCB mount header

This solution should be an in-place replacement and does not require any soldering of wires. Only the header needs to be soldered to the heater of the build plate. The new connector will allow a current of 9A per pin. Combining 3 pins for heating on positive side and similar on negative side, should be enough, The two remaining connections can then be used for the thermistor.

Omni200 Cura configuration

Issues and solutions

Over-extruding at first layer

Try keeping Cura setting “Initial Layer Flow” to 100%, but adjust the Z-offset for the first layer. Calibrate the E-step setting for the extrusion stepper motor. In my case, with a factory default setting the “G1 F100 E100” command extruded only 85mm instead of 100mm filament. Only after a correction (with sending “M8011 0.01373” and M8500 to save settings), the extrusion was exactly 100mm. Also note that after much empirical testing, the first layer distance to the build plate after homing had to be set to 0.07mm, using the supplied spacer gauge: filament sticks well to the build plate and the first layer revealed evenly strokes of filament.

Uneven layers on one or more axis

stepper skipping steps

Increase the electrical current of the concerning stepper motor by turning the related potentiometer (marked on the circuit board as R4_X, R4_Y, R4_Z) slightly counter-clockwise.

Klipper installation

Hacking the Chitu STM32F446-based board

With the purpose to install klipper on the board, information is collected below.

One open task is to reverse engineer the Chitu board far enough to know which GPIO is connected to which driver/mosfet/interface etc.

Details about how the STM32 controller is interfaced to the peripheral can be found here.

Prerequisites

To communicate with the ST-Link V2 hardware we will use the open source version of the STMicroelectronics STLINK Tools. Since this depends on libusb, we need to install this first: 

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

Then proceed accordingly: 

git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink.git
cd stlink
make release
sudo make install

# copy the resulted files to the system
cd build/Release/bin
sudo cp st-* /usr/local/bin
cd ../lib
sudo cp *.so* /usr/local/lib

# copy udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo cp ../../../config/udev/rules.d/49-stlinkv* /etc/udev/rules.d/

# Verify that there is no line with " libstlink.so.1 => not found" with the following command:
ldd /usr/local/bin/st-util

References and further information:

Generally to read or write to an STM32 with STLink, the pinout and connection of would be:

ST-LINK/V2, 20-pin JTAG connection pin numbering

With the following relevant pins (LQFP144 footprint):

STLink V2 pin STLink V2 function STM32F446 pin STM32F446 function Description
1 + 2 VAPP * MCU VDD Target VCC, optional
9 TCK_SWCLK 109, PA14 CLK / SWCLK / JTCK-SWCLK Serial Wire Clock
12, 18, 20 GND * GND System ground connection
7 TMS_SWDIO 105, PA13 DIO / SWDIO / JTMS-SWDIO Serial Wire Data In and Out
15 NRST 25 NRST Reset Signal, optional. Helpful if the SWD interface was disabled via software. Alternatively BOOT0 set to high would activate the bootloader and keep SWD enabled
13 TDO_SWO 133, PB3 SWO Serial wire output, optional

For the Chitu FX446 Controller board, header J17 carries all the relevant signals to connect the STLINK V21):

Chitu FX446 J17 Marking STLINK V2 pin STLINK V2 signal Description
1 VCC 2 VAPP Target VCC
2 SWI7 7 TMS_SWDIO Serial Wire Data In and Out
3 SWC92) 20 GND System ground connection
4 GND3) 9 TCK_SWCLK Serial Wire Clock

Using a short (Less than 200mm in length) Dupont-style jumper cable connect GND, SWCLK, SWDIO and VCC like the following:

Now you could continue to install klipper itself, or take the advantage of installing fluiddpi and moonraker as well combined in the following repository:

  • fluiddpi, A pi image with Klipper, Moonraker and Fluidd pre-installed. This repository contains the necessary code to generate the distribution from an existing Raspberry Pi OS lite distro image.
  • See: https://github.com/fluidd-core/FluiddPi

See also following entertaining video:

Klipper specifications

You need a printer configuration file, which has all gpio correctly defined. The file format has a suffix with “-year” and the .cfg filetype. For example: 

printer-creality-cr6se-2020.cfg

The file resides on the Raspberry pi.

A good example of a file for the STM32F446 processor can be found here:

Chitu G-code explained

The overview on the following page has been copied from here and the text has been slightly reformatted. The commands below are from the Chitu on their F mini control board and probably also used by several other companies.

The page original title was: “Chitu G code Explained” and written by Scott Worthington on Sunday, 22 April 2018

PLEASE NOTE CHANGING THESE SETTING WILL change your printers behavior. Therefore I do not recommend changing settings yourself without understanding what each setting your adjusting does.

So to start with G code, files can not be written in word you are better off writing then in notepad because it does not leave artifacts in the background. Therefore any time you want to update the firmware you need to either edit the G code you have or start a new notepad document for it.

I am going to do my best to explain each of the G codes in every day terms If I can think of how. Then if you want you can copy each line into a notepad document and edit and save it. Once saved to the SD card put the SD card into the control board and run that G code file as if it was a print and done. Make sure ever g code file you make has the save g code at the end.

Please note that this is the first G code I have seen that is like this “M8012 I200” in this case the M8012 is the code then ” I“ is the actual settings your adjusting so in the above example it is 200. The example M8012 is the code for X Y max movement speed and the 200 is in mm/s. So if you wanted to slow down the max speed you could change it to 120 or 300 to speed it up depending on your printer.
