Migbot Prusa i3 Unofficial Support Thread

You know how the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for."

The Migbot Prusa i3 is one of those ridiculously inexpensive 3DPs coming from China. It has a few good things going for it. Technical support is not one of them

There is no B.O.M. per se. Only some PDFs and images to guide you in the assembly process. This isn't terrily bad if you never want to touch the pre-installed firmware, but if you are looking to upgrade to newer Marlin or Repetier code, you need to know a bit about the pulleys, belts, and lead screws. All of this information is practically non-existant, or difficult to get to. Even the pre-loaded firmware sources are unavailable... Until now.

Marlin Configuration
In the next message, I have posted the Configuration.h from the vendor supplied firmware. Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

I do not own this printer model, but I have been providing support to a friend half way across the planet, so I have learned a lot about it in a very short amount of time. Hopefully this thread will become a useful resource to the rest of you poor souls

Experimenting with Repetier Firmware
For any of you feeling adventurous, I have also provided a .json file that can be used to load initial settings into the Repetier Firmware Configuration Tool. It is not yet a working configuration due to the fact that I don't know exact coordinate system of the printer, and I am not sure about the endstop states (normally open?). If you work with this, and have any information I can correct, I will be happy to provide updates to the .json file.

Here is some of the information I need:
1. X-Axis. How far from the X-Home position to the edge of the print area?
2. Y-Axis. How far from the Y-Home position to the edge of the print area?
3. If you X-Limit installed on the right, or left. So far, my understanding is that it is on the right, but it is the MIN endstop. Is this right? If so, it means the X axis motion must be inverted.
4. These kits come with a leveling sensor. As far as I can tell, it is a non-contact of some kind, and is installed 2mm above the surface. The current .json file has autoleveling disabled. If you can figur it out for Repetier, post your results here, and I will update.

/*================== Thermal Runaway Protection ==============================
This is a feature to protect your printer from burn up in flames if it has
a thermistor coming off place (this happened to a friend of mine recently and
motivated me writing this feature).

The issue: If a thermistor come off, it will read a lower temperature than actual.
The system will turn the heater on forever, burning up the filament and anything
else around.

After the temperature reaches the target for the first time, this feature will 
start measuring for how long the current temperature stays below the target 
minus _HYSTERESIS (set_temperature - THERMAL_RUNAWAY_PROTECTION_HYSTERESIS).

If it stays longer than _PERIOD, it means the thermistor temperature
cannot catch up with the target, so something *may be* wrong. Then, to be on the
safe side, the system will he halt.

Bear in mind the count down will just start AFTER the first time the 
thermistor temperature is over the target, so you will have no problem if
your extruder heater takes 2 minutes to hit the target on heating.

You know how the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for."

The Migbot Prusa i3 is one of those ridiculously inexpensive 3DPs coming from China. It has a few good things going for it. Technical support is not one of them

There is no B.O.M. per se. Only some PDFs and images to guide you in the assembly process. This isn't terrily bad if you never want to touch the pre-installed firmware, but if you are looking to upgrade to newer Marlin or Repetier code, you need to know a bit about the pulleys, belts, and lead screws. All of this information is practically non-existant, or difficult to get to. Even the pre-loaded firmware sources are unavailable... Until now.

Marlin Configuration
In the next message, I have posted the Configuration.h from the vendor supplied firmware. Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

I do not own this printer model, but I have been providing support to a friend half way across the planet, so I have learned a lot about it in a very short amount of time. Hopefully this thread will become a useful resource to the rest of you poor souls

Experimenting with Repetier Firmware
For any of you feeling adventurous, I have also provided a .json file that can be used to load initial settings into the Repetier Firmware Configuration Tool. It is not yet a working configuration due to the fact that I don't know exact coordinate system of the printer, and I am not sure about the endstop states (normally open?). If you work with this, and have any information I can correct, I will be happy to provide updates to the .json file.

Here is some of the information I need:
1. X-Axis. How far from the X-Home position to the edge of the print area?
2. Y-Axis. How far from the Y-Home position to the edge of the print area?
3. If you X-Limit installed on the right, or left. So far, my understanding is that it is on the right, but it is the MIN endstop. Is this right? If so, it means the X axis motion must be inverted.
4. These kits come with a leveling sensor. As far as I can tell, it is a non-contact of some kind, and is installed 2mm above the surface. The current .json file has autoleveling disabled. If you can figur it out for Repetier, post your results here, and I will update.

Mate,

You're a legend. I've spent 3 weeks trying to get the firmware out of the clowns, and when I did get it, the file was corrupt. I'll give this a go.

cheers

The sensor has a range of 2mm. The thinnest I've seen the glass is 3mm. You will probably have to find the model with a longer range. I've seen this type with a 5mm range.

Managed to finally get the stl files for the printed parts. If yours arrived with missing and deformed parts as mine did, you'll probably want a copy.
FYI the extruder stepper frame is available in aluminium and is worth having to contact the dealer to get one. Cost was around $8USD.

Contact the guys from [www.3dprintersonlinestore.com] and they should put you onto the wholesaler/ dealer. Apparently the dealer also stocks other parts, but I've never been able to get a list out of him. If you do manage I wouldn't mind a copy.

Just noticed this post. Be keen to see how it goes.

I got my Migbot a few days ago. Worked around many of the problems (bad/weak power supply, warped printed parts) The one things I cannot seem to figure out is why my z-axis motors wont work. I know the motors and wires are good but their has to be either something wrong with the motherboard or firmware....I am beginning to think it is the motherboard. Anyone else have issues with z-axis?

I have attached my Marlin Configure.h txt (I changed where they tell you place Y end stop on the motherboard, from the Y- to Y+ side).

Thanks

Have you tried to swap motors/connections between z and x/y ?

hi..new here and just got a migbot a few days ago. very frustrating machine because of the lackluster support. in my case the extruder motor wasn't working and the firmware appeared to be glitchy. i couldn't get cura to talk to the printer. my emails to support would go unanswered usually, so, after some research, i reflashed the board with the latest marlin firmware and thanks to jcabrer (thanks ) copied his configuration.h and downloaded arduino and crossed my fingers. suddenly cura was able to communicate with the board and the extruder was active. i still have issiues like the part isn't centered on the bed and the worse issue at the moment is when homing, the bed grinds and stutters at the Y axis, but i think its a glitchy limit switch. for anybody having similar problems, i'd suggest reflashing the board if you're comfortable with that.

I can help with the centering issue when I get into the office in an hour or so. You will need to be already using the built in cura engine of repetier host to follow along, since I'm not familiar with the standalone version. Please check back then.

You will need to configure the Start G-code section in CuraEngine. This is the built-in slicer in Repetier Host. By default, it is not the slicer selected.

The START and END g-code places commands at the front and back of the g-code of the sliced part. These instructions prepare the printer for the job.

Put the following in START

G90
G21
G28
{IF_BED}M190 S{BED}
{IF_EXT0}M104 T0 S{TEMP0}
{IF_EXT0}M109 T0 S{TEMP0}
G92 X-25 Y-55 Z0.0 E0.0
G1 X5.0 Y5.0 Z0.0 E5 F500
G1 Z0.0
G92 X5.0 Y5.0 Z0.0 E0.0

In addition, you may want to delete the contents of END, and configure the host to move to the dump area after completion/kill

Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/18/2015 11:57AM by jcabrer.

thanks. i'm not using repetier host because when i installed it, it gave me an "out of video memory" error. i haven't looked into that yet. i'll go into cura as soon as a print i'm running is finished. thanx again.

Like I said, my advice only applies to Repetier Host, using CuraEngine. It also assumes that a dump area has been configured in the printer shape section that is 25mm x 55mm in the front left. YMMV with other software, but the concept of setting up the print job as I have is sound, so you should be able to wiggle it in.

Can you turn both Z motors by hand easily with the power off? I found my right motor very difficult to turn, and whenever the machine tried to raise the Z axis it would stutter. I appeared that the lead screw was binding in the bushing. After disconnecting the lead screw coupler, it turns out that the vertical guide rod and motor axis are off by a few mm, which was causing the binding. I removed the right lead screw and the z axis works perfectly now. There's a tiny bit of sag, but it doesn't seem to affect quality of small prints. I haven't been able to test anything large. My prints stop after 30 minutes.

Is anyone else having problems with stopped prints?

Two things:

Fix the leadscrew problem. Leaving one side off is not a viable fix.

Check power management settings on your computer, and disable anything managing power on your USB ports. You should also disable power management while plugged in, so the computer does not try to sleep

Hi to all, i've problem with this printer model, when i making homing the z offset is equal at 12.35 when is at 0.2 mm from the bed, when i start printing the z axis collides against the bed... i try with g-code writed up but no work...

Are you using the proximity sensor to do auto-leveling?

yes, this is the sensor i mount (it's the same as mine) :

I'm assuming your proximity sensor is mounted correctly (the one in the picture is upside down).

The instructions included with the printer that tell you to mount the proximity sensor 2mm higher than the extruder tip don't match the Z probe offset in the firmware. The probe should actually be < 1mm higher than the tip of the extruder.

Here's how I got mine properly setup:

1. Do an auto home. The LED on the sensor should be lit.
2. Turn off the motors, and position the extruder nozzle over the bed
3. Place a sheet of paper under the nozzle and lower the Z axis until you can feel some drag on the paper.
4. Loosen the adjustment screws on the probe.
5. Fold up your paper or use a thin piece of cardboard (I used a tab off the power supply box) inserted under the sensor so the LED goes off, but comes back on when you apply slight pressure.
6. Hold the probe gently against the bed so that it doesn't move, and tighten the screws.
7. The LED should be on, and you should be able to remove your spacer with a little drag.
8. Check the extruder height again, and do a test print.

The extruder shouldn't gouge the bed anymore. If anything, it might be too high, and your first layer won't stick. If it's too high you can try again so you feel more resistance on the paper in step 1.

Edit: Updated to use LED on the proximity sensor for more consistent results.

Hi All,

A great relief to see this thread. Thank you jcabrer.

My Migbot has just arrived and after unpacking it ready to be built into an epic machine, I've discovered there is no CD in the box, which after reading online; includes the manual/software/drivers.. basically the essential stuff.
(Emailed both companies.. waiting for reply)

I've built 2 reprappro mendel monos in the pass, fairly confident in constructing a 3d printer. The build from pictures online looks to be very similar to other prusa i3's, I have nosed through some of their build instructions. Yet I believe it best to start building with the correct manual.

Would anyone be able to share with me the manual/instructions? I've searched 4hrs online so far and this forum has got to be my best chance. I'd be very grateful and will then upload the manual to my website for another other poor sod without a CD.

Zurking.

were you able to download it? I clicked your link but there doesn't seem to be a way to download it. Mine is corrupt too, although I was able to extract many of the file it can't get through all of them before it say unexpected end to archive.


EDIT: nevermind I did a chat with 3dprintersonline and they got it to me asap. Its possible the link they send expires

Thanks for starting this thread. My Migbot arrived yesterday and I've started putting it together. So far so good, but I suspect the fun will start once I apply power to the thing .

Cheers,

Google Drive Public Share
I've created a shared folder on my google drive. I have placed the Marlin firmware there, as well as the rest of the Migbot Prusa i3 resources that are normally included on SD card.

I have also placed a pre-configured copy of the repetier firmware, along with the json file used to generate those settings. Bed leveling is turned off, as I don't have this machine, and cannot test that function. The rest of the settings were borrowed from the Marlin firmware, so they should likely work fine. That being said, if you discover an improvement, pass it along, and I will incorporate it here.
