I love this little printer. Its my first and best printer. I've worked on over a hundred printers and I haven't had one print better. I'm not sure if its the small form factor or low inertia of the moving axis. Slow moving lead screw. I've done several major upgrades to this printer over the years. One the cool features of the SKR Pico is the out of box support to capacitive and inductive sensors. The issue with these sensors is that they usually need 6V+ to work reliable. The typical endstop plug supplies 5V. The pico supplies 12V-24V. My original idea was to power the Pi and LCD from the pico board. Its testing it worked. When I got everything hooked up it was dropping down to 4.65V. I had to install a buck convert to get rid of the power warning.
