UPDATES:
- 12th April 2023 - fixed filament macros - please see the Filament_Sensor.cfg file for prerequisites
- 2nd April 2023 - reduced max speed to 100mm/s - any higher results in layer shifts due to the temps getting too high for the stock stepper motors (at least while printing high tempmaterials like ASA)
- 1st April 2023 - Tweaks to max speed and driver current - the steppers don't seem to like travel speeds over 150mm/s without overheating and causing layer shifts
- 31st March 2023 - Printer now calibrated and Printer.cfg has been updated.
- 30th March 2023 - Everything now works!

NOTE:
The factory belt tension on this printer is too loose to exceed 1k acceleration and 100mm/s print speeds. To rectify this you need to retension the X and Y axis belts properly (tight is good, but dont over do it). The Y axis is a PITA as it can only be fixed when the printer is fully disassembled. The Y belt is a continuous loop with no tension adjuster. So you'll need to cut out roughly 5mm from the belt and re-install it as snug as you can get it. I then used some "Selly's Power Grip" to ensure the belts dont jump out of the jaws holding them.
If you still have Y axis layer shifting, I recommend replacing the motor with a better quality unit.

Questions
How big is the AD3 Breakout Board PCB?
It measures 42.2 × 29 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AD3 Breakout Board use?
9 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the AD3 Breakout Board KiCad files?
From the dJOS1475/FF_AD3_Klipper repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB's/AD3 Breakout Board/AD3 Breakout Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB's/AD3 Breakout Board/AD3 Breakout Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AD3 Breakout Board design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
