He was a person who liked to tinker so some of the parts of this printer are not stock, and it currently does not seam to work. I would like to know some more information of what I have here, and what exactly I need to do to start to make heads and tails of this

What I think I have

A sunlu S8 (Pro?)
I belive the stock Exctruder
BTT SKR Mini E3 v2.0
TFT35E3-v3

Thank you so much to anyone who is willing to help

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I will do my best to help you with your 3D printer.

Based on the information you provided, you have a Sunlu S8 3D printer with some modifications, including a BTT SKR Mini E3 v2.0 mainboard and a TFT35E3-v3 touch screen. If you are not sure about the modifications your uncle made on the printer, it would be best to document all the changes and upgrades that were made to the printer, including any modifications made to the firmware.

To get started with the firmware, you will need to download the firmware and the necessary software for uploading the firmware to the printer. The firmware for your setup can be obtained from the manufacturer's or community's website.

You will also need to know the specifics of the 3D printer, such as the type and size of the hotend and the thermistor, and the type and size of the heated bed. The firmware must be configured according to the hardware setup of the 3D printer.

Once you have downloaded and configured th...
