In this video I go through the process of wiring the CAN Bus Toolhead. I compare the Mellow Fly SHT36 V2 and the BTT EBB 36, which I ultimately ended up using. However, both boards are great and I'd recommend either one- whichever you feel most comfortable with. Hopefully my video gives you information to make a good decision.
The stock Voron 0.2 does NOT utilize a CAN Bus toolhead. This is "probably" overkill. I wanted to do it because I wanted to get some experience, and I like the idea of only running 4 wires instead of "every" wire for all the things (Thermistor, Hot End Fan, Part Fans, Heater Wiring, Motor Wiring- which is at least 12 wires). Most CAN Bus toolheads (including the ones I feature) also have a built in accelerometer that you can run any time, which is also a great feature.
Please note: I plan to cover step by step installation including CAN Bus configuration as part of my Voron 0.2 build series. This will be in a future video.

Printed part colors are from Fusion Filaments, Cosmic Ray Blue and Alpha Particle Orange ABS 1.5.

Powder Coated Extrusions are from DLLPDF. These extrusions, at the time of the video are Mitsumi. They are powder coated and exactly 15mm x 15mm (the coating adds a small amount of thickness). I purchased a full v0.2 extrusion kit.
