Good afternoon All,

[github.com]

With the slicer this one:

Would any one help me PLEASE to understand the concept of the files System of Reprap and how to load the ReapRap Firmware to the Controller Board I have mentioned above.

I was told that, in order for the slicer to work I will have to load the .G codes where the Python files are, but how and where Please?

And last but not least, how to prepare the SD card for this particular project please.

The Parts I am printing at the moment the most important part of the whole project relies on your kind help and responses.

Actually yes I am retired Old Engineer but I have not yet understood the concept of RepRap Firmware and its implications at this point in time.

My deepest thanks to all.

You cant use RRF with that controller card.


For the slicer it seems you can run it online, with the link in the description. Otherwise you can install it locally, it depends on python but that should be easy to install if you dont have already.

from the RRF user manual "it is targeted only at modern 32-bit processors, not outdated 8-bit processors"

The MKS Gen V 1.4 is ATmega2560 based, ie 8 bit.

Configure Marlin: Make sure to customize the Marlin configuration file to support the 4th axis and other specifications of your printer.
