Custom Printer with Ender3 board and CTC motors (1 reply)

Hi all,

hope this is not a misplaced question(s). I have a bunch of ender 3 mother boards, motors and displays from CTC Anet clones and a big pile of extrusion and fittings. I am trudging through the process of assembling some custom printers with unusual bed sizes. I am struggling with getting Marlin onto the board using a non Ender 3 display. I have both arduino IDE and VSC and have tried the sanguino install in Arduino with the perpetual 'Error writing to sanguino' and programmer not responding in VSC. I have gonr through the bootloader process and had a success message.

My question...is it possible to use this motherboard, with Marlin and either of the displays pictured for a custom printer with one very long axis. Assuming that the answer is yes then can anyone suggest a strategy regading the firmware selection and deployment?

Any help at all is muchly appreciated

Thanks
