Help needed: CreatBot Max R3D and CreatBot Mini firmware / Klipper configuration

Basic Information:

Printer Model: CreatBot Max R3D
MCU / Printerboard: Unknown / CreatBot proprietary board (photos of the board can be provided)
Host / SBC: Raspberry Pi running Klipper
klippy.log: Attached

Describe your issue:

I recently acquired a CreatBot Max R3D and I am trying to get it working with Klipper.

The printer currently has firmware/configuration problems, and I do not have the original factory firmware or the original configuration files.

I would like to use Klipper with this printer, but I am having difficulty creating a correct printer.cfg because I do not know the exact pinout and hardware configuration of the CreatBot control board.

I am looking for help identifying:

  • The exact MCU and control board.
  • X/Y/Z/E stepper pins.
  • Direction and enable pins.
  • Endstop pins.
  • Extruder heater pin.
  • Heated bed heater pin.
  • Thermistor pins.
  • Fan pins.
  • Extruder configuration.
  • Display configuration.
  • Any other relevant hardware parameters.

I have already inspected the printer and can provide detailed photos of the control board, connectors and wiring if necessary.

I am also looking for anyone who owns a CreatBot Max R3D / Max R3S and has a working Klipper configuration, especially a working printer.cfg.

Additionally, if someone has a backup of the original CreatBot firmware for the Max R3D, that would be extremely helpful. I would like to have the original firmware available so I can restore the machine if necessary.

I also own a CreatBot Mini with firmware-related problems, so information or original firmware for that model would also be greatly appreciated.

I understand that these printers may use proprietary hardware, and I am willing to provide photos and hardware information to help identify the board.

Any help identifying the board, determining the pinout, finding the original firmware, or creating a working Klipper configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Your klippy.log didn’t get attached. Please upload.

Is your machine a S1 or a S3?

Thanks for the information.

I will upload the klippy.log file.

Regarding the printer model, I believe it is a CreateBot MAX R3D, but I am currently trying to identify the exact revision/version because I purchased the machine used and I don’t have the original documentation.

The printer board appears to be based on an ATmega2560, and the pin mapping I currently have does not seem to match the STM32 pinout you listed.

I can also provide photos of the p

klippy.log (7.2 MB)

rinter, the electronics/control board, the serial-number label, and the connectors if that helps identify whether it is an S1, S3, or another revision.

I would like to get the correct Klipper configuration without risking the heaters or other hardware.

It seems there are 2 different companies using “CreateBot”

Is this your machine? https://www.createbot.net/handler/download.ashx?url=/UploadFiles/202109/79716499.pdf

Yes, I understand. I have two printers: a CreateBot Max R3D and a CreateBot Mini.

The machines I have are the ones made by the original CreateBot manufacturer. Both of my printers use an ATmega2560 controller board.

I can send you photos of the printers, controller boards, labels, and any other information you need to identify which CreateBot company/manufacturer they are from.

Welcome Dasac,

I would make a request for just one printer a time. You might rename the thread name to just “Help needed: Createbot MAX 3D Printer firmware / Klipper configuration” or “Help needed: Createbot MINI 3D Printer firmware / Klipper configuration” or start over (confusion).

Products - Zhejiang Createbot Technology Co., Ltd has just no information regarding your printers or firmware. I guess Marlin regarding the printers age.

You posted pictures of two different printer boards (confusion).


I would start with the printer connected to the last picture I posted.

Is this any help?

No (maybe :wink:),

My post was intended to define the printer we are talking about. Dasac posted pictures of two printers. Very confusing.
First of all Dasac has to name/define (fotos, whatever) the printer he wants to go with,

In my eyes you are talking about the wrong printer.

You are right, my previous posts were confusing because I showed pictures of more than one printer.

To clarify: the printer I am working on now is the one shown in the attached photos. These are the boards I want to identify and configure.

Please use these photos as the reference for the printer we are discussing. I am not referring to the other CreateBot in my previous pictures.

Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for pointing that out.

This is my board, i need the pinout
