E3V2 Sprite Upgrade

In order to get the most available from the Sprite it is my new bee understanding that I would need a screen upgrade to accommodate what is available.

In addition I would need a board upgrade too?? I have a 4.2.2 board.

What is the model of the Printer that comes with these three things? Maybe I can find a donor.

Any guidance, tips, correction or advice welcome!

I got the Sprite but looking at the extent of changes I am at that “time to get another printer” fork in the road!

4.2.7 board or Bigtreetech perhaps. Always wondered if I could take the innards of a V3SE or KE and fit it into one of these.

I upgraded by Ender 3 V2 with a sprite pro extruder and a bigtreetech E3V3 control board.
Also I have used the bigtreetech tft 35.v3 Duel mode display, Bigtreetech smart filament detector, BLTouch and a raspberry pi running octoprint. I found this combination works very well. You would need to configure marlin firmware to get the best results from this combination.

Hey Bill.b thanks for the info.

Did you have to recompile the firmware for your combo or were you able to find an available config file?

I compile all my own firmware but I believe there is firmware available on github.

If you go down this path I could supply you with a compiled firmware.bin file.
