Tronxy X5SA Pro With Creality Sprite and Touch

Configs
1

Sprite install requires

  1. fan power pins reversed on ribbon cable
  2. thermistor wires terminated with connector
  3. belt attachment points cut from extruder mounting bracket
  4. Printed mounting block to relocate stock extruder mount plate to back of x carriage (cable attachment
  5. Printed x and y endstop switch mounts.

Recommend printing and installing Z alignment blocks if you don’t have a z-motor sync belt installed.
Macro in config file will automate aligning the motors with the blocks if you don’t have a belt.

Files attached.

I print with 1.6mm walls, top & bottom with 35% infill
Supports touching build plate.

Does require longer screws to go through the sandwich of the extruder mount → Main Bracket → Stock extruder bracket (acts as the rear cable mount).

I don’t know if it’s still relevant, but does your board have a stepper for a second extruder? I’ve been using that stepper for a second Z and running Z-tilt quite successfully.

I ended up replacing the motherboard after a nearby lighting strike
Now have it running on an MKS Robin Nano.
While that board does have enough drivers to run the z motors separate, I had already installed a coupling belt so didn’t see the need to do z-tilt

thermistor wires terminated with connector, can you explain what needs doing with more detailed info on this side? I have already fitted a sprite pro direct drive extruder to my tronxy 400x400x400 printer and thermistor is reading -15c via the stock small board where the std thermistor plug is located atm,
sprite to tronxy front belt adaptor to laser cut
I have designed and laser cut a acrylic 3mm plate and used that to adapt the front belt connections that have worked very well. attached svg file for everyone to use and mounts directly behind the stock sprite extruder mount

If you have a multimeter check each thermistor wire for continuity to ground
If I recall correctly the Sprite PCB may ground one side of the thermistor so you need to be careful which side is wired to ground at the controller.
