Yea, used multimeter and a screwdriver. Ok, not sure i will bother to change it. At least not in near future. Got the printer to learn, and well.

[Profiles-Formbot-T-Rex3.zip](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/2o4PdZW1pLDLwnIjOjmCEr5UE7S.zip) (8.1 KB) There are three profiles: printer-Formbot-T-Rex 3 : is a profile for a regular printer. printer-Formbot-T-Rex 3-uart : is a profile for the use of TMC2209 in [UART mode](https://learn.watterott.com/silentstepstick/pinconfig/tmc2209/). The uart connection is made using the MISO/MOSI connectors on the printer board (SD card isn’t use with Klipper). printer-Formbot-T-Rex 3-all : is the same as the one above with an additional z-axes (stepper\_z1). You need …

Still think its not worth it?
