PRINT SMOOTHER AKA TL_SMOOTHER SMD

This was an EXCELLENT design by the original creator, however, I always want to improve my SMD skills and also do better etching my own PCBs.
I used a SMD version, which I chose a bit bigger the S3G, but you can also use S3M, and possibly even the SS510. I saw a few out there that have larger diode case, but I haven't had any problems with mine. I have not tested any except the S3G diodes, though I did order the S3M, S3G, and SS510.

The PCB is all SMD, uses the SMD XH2.54 version instead of the through hole. There is a supplier on eBay that sells 30 of them for really cheap, or you can use digikey, alliedelectronics or your other favorite supplier.

This SMD version makes it easy as there are no components through the board and you can use double sided tape to mount it, or, you can put clear shrink tube and tape it out of the way. This is designed for my FFCP but will work with ANY printer.

With the FFCP, you will need to cut off atleast 4" to 5" of the end of the stepper wire that connects to the motherboard. This will allow you to crimp on the XH connectors and plug into the XH 2.54 housings to plug into the smoother board. Then on the stepper side, crimp on XH crimps and plug into the same style XH 2.54 housings, and plug into the stepper smoother.

I am working on a kit that will allow you to use the factory stepper connector so you dont have to cut the end off, then youd have to buy the stepper ends (listed in my other FFCP wiring thing) and make a small jumper wire. That way you wont have to cut anything.

This current setup you will have to cut your wires and use XH2.54 connectors.
You will need the following;

PCB single sided, etching chemicals, and soldering equipment.

The new version I am working on will be easier as you wont be cutting the wires as stated above, but will require through hole soldering which means could use all through hole components for ease, or will require a double layer clad PCB I prefer personally SMD for simplicity.

I am dealing with a death in the family so it may be a while!
