For anyone who keeps up with modern 3D Printing and the many constant advances that are happening, you will have surely heard about BigTreeTech, and the way that they take the key features that everyone wants and build incredible boards that cater specifically for those features. This, as you would expect, has catapulted them to the forefront of 3D Printer Upgrades, and with their own line of BIQU 3D Printers, made by their sister-brand known as BIQU, BigTreeTech have only been getting better and better since their original splash into the industry. This BTT Octopus V1.1 is a fresh controller board that is ready to set the new benchmark for high-end but affordable 3D Printer Controllers, and offers a whole suite of amazing features that pretty much anyone and everyone can benefit from, offering even more ports for motors, fans, thermistors and peripherals, and even more processing speeds for true future-proofing as the industry moves forward.
When getting in such an incredible board like this BTT Octopus, it’s often difficult to pick just a few key features to talk about, and so instead of talking about specific features, since there are just so many, let’s use this chance to appreciate some areas in which the BTT Octopus excels, and how it’s designed not just for current 3D Printing and the ever-growing expansions and upgrades, but also those that may come in the future as the industry progresses further:
Of course, we only have so much space in this description, and simply can’t tell you about every single feature, so we invite you take a look through the collection of documentation on their GitHub page (Linked below) and glance through the User Manual to get a taste of precisely just how many features and integrations the BTT Octopus Motherboard has to offer.

As one of the rising stars in the world of 3D Printer Component Research and Development, BigTreeTech have certainly hit the ground running, entering the market in 2015 and spending their early stages primarily learning, researching, testing and developing, before producing some truly impressive results. From simple but effective upgrades to standard parts, all the way through to completely custom parts that no other brand offered at the time, BigTreeTech now have an incredibly diverse range, with almost no area of 3D Printing being left out.
Some of BigTreeTech’s most notable additions to the world of 3D Printing include the SKR Motherboard Range for numerous different 3D Printer models, the awesome TFT Touch Display Range with fancy features like dual-mode operation, as well as their very impressive Stepper Driver Range that cater to all tastes and preferences under the sun. And of course, to top it all off, BigTreeTech also have a sister company named BIQU, and we must admit that they have been producing some pretty impressive (and low price) 3D Printers, with the BIQU B1 possibly becoming a new rival to the Ender 3.
Of course, it’s easy to see that BigTreeTech are modern masters of 3D Printing R&D, and while we do still have a lot of different parts that we want to test out from them, so far we’ve been extremely happy with what they’re capable of producing – all while fitting into same kind of hobbyist budget that they used to operate on as Makers and Tinkerers themselves.
