Twotrees SK1 3D printer overview – Half 2: Enclosure package and AI digital camera
We reviewed the Twotrees SK1 CoreXY 3D printer able to delivering excessive printing speeds final March, however right here’s a second a part of the overview as the corporate despatched us further equipment specifically the enclosure package For SK1 and the AI digital camera for SK1 which we are going to report on right now.
The principle construction of the enclosure is made from steel sheets plus a door that opens from the entrance and a high plate made from tempered glass. The SK1 3D printer enclosure makes the 3D printer extra lovely, protects it from mud, is straightforward to put in, and encompasses a fan and air filter system. It’s additionally designed to mount the AI Digicam for SK1 to assist customers monitor the SK1 whereas printing is in progress.

TwoTrees SK1 3D printer enclosure meeting
The enclosure package consists of 2 followers: an air filter fan and an exhaust fan for the 3D printer. The followers and air filters are put in contained in the Twotrees SK1 3D printer.
As soon as the meeting of the filtration fan is completed, join the air filter fan cable to the FAN0 connector of the management board situated on the underside of the TwoTrees SK1 3D printer.
Now set up the exhaust fan contained in the Twotrees SK1 3D printer…
… and join the cable to the FAN1 connector.
As soon as the set up of the 2 followers is full contained in the SK1 3D printer it ought to appear like within the picture beneath.
The nylon tube for the filament passes by a devoted gap within the 3D printer.
The enclosure meeting will also be seen within the video on the finish of the overview.
TwoTrees AI Digicam for SK1 3D printer
The AI Digicam for Twotrees SK1 3D printer encompasses a 2MP digital camera sensor able to Full HD (1920×1080) decision and helps AI detection. It may well function in high-temperature circumstances as much as 70 levels Celsius. It’s straightforward to put in and its output might be considered over the community utilizing the Fluidd consumer interface. We’ll check that beneath.
Digicam specs:
The digital camera ships with a base for mounting on the body, a USB connection cable, and a cable administration tube.

The SK1 AI digital camera is designed to be mounted on the highest proper of the Twotrees SK1 3D printer as proven within the image beneath.
The digital camera’s USB cable is handed by a gap within the housing and plugged into an exterior USB 2.0 port.
Getting began with the Twotrees SK1 3D printer enclosure package and AI digital camera
The meeting of the enclosure and mounting of the digital camera are solely the primary few steps to get began, because the firmware of the show and 3D printer management board additionally must be up to date. We’ll present easy methods to do it beneath.
You need to first replace the LCD firmware to the most recent model, at present model 3.20. First, take away the LCD, and disconnect the cables from the Twotrees SK1 3D printer.
Obtain the LCD firmware V3.20 “(SK1_TFT_V3.20_20240316) LKS.tft” to your laptop.
Now copy the firmware file right into a microSD card utilizing the supplied MKS EMMC adapter or another USB card reader.
As soon as the firmware file has been copied, safely unplug the microSD card out of your laptop, and insert it into the microSD card slot situated behind the LCD of the Twotrees SK1 3D printer.
Reconnect the cable again into place and activate the Twotrees SK1 3D printer.
The firmware might be put in mechanically. When the set up is 100% full, you may flip off the 3D printer, take away the microSD card, and put the LCD display again into place.
That’s it. We’ll now replace the firmware of the management board on the Twotrees SK1 3D printer within the subsequent step. We might be utilizing the Balena Etcher program to flash Firmware V2.02.17, however you need to use another firmware flashing program like USBImager or Win32DiskImager in the event you favor. Now obtain Hyperlink Firmware V2.02 and put it aside in your laptop.
To replace the firmware V2.02.17 of the Twotrees SK1 3D printer, it’s essential to first take away the MKS EMMC flash module situated on the underside of the 3D printer by loosening two screws as proven within the picture beneath.
Then insert the MKS EMMC flash module into the slot of the MKS EMMC adapter and plug it right into a USB port of your laptop.
Load the file into BalenaEtcher, choose the microSD card and click on on Flash.
Anticipate the flashing process to finish at 100%, then put the MKS EMMC flash module again into its authentic place beneath the 3D printer, and reassemble all the things earlier than beginning the 3D printer. Go to the System menu and test if there are any firmware adjustments.
Go to the About SK1 menu and test the Firmware Model to see whether it is V3.20. Whether it is as proven within the instance picture, it implies that the Firmware has been upgraded efficiently.
We will now check the Twotrees SK1 3D printer with the digital camera by logging into the Fluidd system by way of the IP tackle of the Twotrees SK1 3D printer. You’ll discover a brand new window for the AI digital camera and controls for the air filter and exhaust followers with all the things proven on a single web page.
We did a fast printing check with a CNX Software program keyring and ABS filament is supported because of the temperature-controlled cupboard.
Video overview
Conclusion
The Twotrees SK1 3D printer can work properly with HS PLA filament in its authentic configuration. However the Twotrees SK1 3D printer enclosure package makes the machine much more lovely and improves its efficiency. Its air filter cleans the air popping out of the printer and removes many of the scent. It may well additionally print workpieces with different supplies reminiscent of ABS, PETG, and extra. The high-quality SK1 AI Digicam can assist the consumer test and examine the workpiece for harm whereas the machine is working. The consumer also can create time lapses and the AI options are presupposed to allow the 3D printer to detect international objects, spaghetti prints, collisions, and extra, however we have been unable to check these with the supplied software program.
We’d wish to thank TwoTrees for sending the SK1 3D printer enclosure and SK1 AI Digicam for overview. The Twotrees SK1 3D printer enclosure sells for $159 on AliExpress or the corporate’s retailer, and the SK1 AI Digicam goes for $27.92 together with transport on AliExpress and $39.99 on the corporate’s retailer.
