Prusa mini Fysetc clone - log of a journey  

Review

I am finishing my review on theBIQU BX and an update FYSTEC clone

Heatbreak

Welp my clone arrived today, started to unpack and checked the heatbreak and unfortunately it's the loosey goosey one where the PTFE goes all the way down.

- you know what to do, right? 😊

Just replace it.  Not worth your time unless you print just PLA.

heatbreak

Yeah I still have one from the original Prusa Mini, so that's at least a little bit better than this one. I'll look for a Bondtech clone or a real Bondtech one later. Hotend also does not look that good as you said.

Heat Break

Weird. Mine came with a new style heatbreak that looks like the bondtech. Where did you buy your clone?  I got mine from the official FYSETC AliExpress store.  

Store

I didn't get it from the official store so that might be why. May be good to know for others. 

Impressions

Well after fixing a clogging issue with the PTFE coupler on the hotend side I have it running pretty much stock with only the original Minda sensor from my Original Mini and the original heat break. It's printing beautifully even though I probably shorted the hotend fan (waiting for a replacement), it runs at half speed now I'm guessing. Bearings are pretty shite and loud. Heatbed is a little slower to warm up.

Pretty happy with it and it's not going to be long until it's earned itself back printing rockets 🙂🚀

PTFE coupler

I use a PTFE coupler also to ease unloading.  I hate the current setup.  

PTFE coupler

These ones, they ruin the PTFE as well.

Couplers

I misunderstood.  I use a coupler to track two pieces of PFTE.

Hi All, 

I recompiled 5.1.0 beta inputshaper with some fix for using it with fystec clones:

1. extended x-axis length from 188 to 190mm as on my clone selftest failed due to that
2. enabled PID autotune (M303 working for hotend and bed)
3. enabled skew correction (M852)
4. disabled screen flashing every 2secs
5. set the hotend thermistor type to 1 instead of 5   
6. increased the hotend fan speed from <3000rpm to 4500rpm

WOW! Thanks so much for this @Turro75! This worked perfectly for my 2 Fysetc clones!

RE:

This is the same but based on stable 5.1.0, it is the EN-IT build.

Hello,

would it be possible to modify the en-cs configuration in this way?

Hello, I have been able to solve the screen problem, but the Spanish language does not appear, do you know how to solve it? I have copied all the files and the option in Spanish does not appear
