Re: Z not moving after Marlin 2.x upgrade - 1 year ago

I would try the DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE from 5 to 2 or maybe 3 #define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE { 300, 300, 2, 25 } I noted you are using a MKS Gen controller, though selecting Ramps #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS_14_EFB Myself would select MKS related code. This allows for "EFBE" / " EFBF " just a suggestion. This allows my 3D Printers to have control of dual variable fan for Cooling "Mode

Re: Z-Axis moving only one direction - 1 year ago

I had a controller that had an open trace in the photo below (wish It was of better quality) I searched visually and could not find the problem, the firmware was working a another 3D Printer. After doing a continuity test found that that the trace was open visually could not see the open trace until removing the silk screen. simply soldered a bridge over the bad trace and the controller works

Great Post your config changes maybe I can use this to get my controllers to work with the original pins.

Re: Filament change and filament runout sensor? - 1 year ago

When I started working with filament run-out could Never get the Stock filament run-out pin D11 to work correctly. What I did was to use Z-Max end-stop pin 19 and change the code in my configuration.h below. #define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR #if ENABLED(FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR) #define NUM_RUNOUT_SENSORS 1 // Number of sensors, up to one per extruder. Define a FIL_RUNOUT#_PIN for each. #

Re: Filament change and filament runout sensor? - 1 year ago

I am not too sure myself, as I am more familiar with only my controller specs. Though I currently have Marlin 2.0.6.1 and am playing with the ideal of upgrading to the newest Marlin version 2.0.9.1 Though found that most versions updated to have made my 3D Printer life a little better. With the exception of Marlin-1.1.9 which I quickly changed to Marlin-1.1.9BF Version. I was happy again. I ha

Re: "No SD Card" - 1 year ago

I have a similar problem, on occasion If I insert the card while powered up it states "Card Inserted" though I can not read the SD If I insert the card then power up I can read the SD with no problems. I have never found the problem and always insert the card before powering my 3D Printer. This is on Marlin 2.0.6 using a Arduino Mega 2560, ramps compatible controller.

Re: Marlin 2.0.8 - 2 years ago

Thank you Dust Just because the keywords change does not mean that the operation of the compiled firmware changes. I know I have hear this before Though the question? Is there anyway to compile Marlin 1.1.9BF using Visual Studio Code. If so could you point me to the steps required for the process.

Marlin 2.0.8 - 2 years ago

My Question is a simple one though not sure if what I believe is true. If I keep using the same settings for different versions of Marlin without new and added features the compiler will almost always compile the same. If I change features that Marlin has updated or if it includes bug fixes then the compiled firmware will be different. Is my thinking correct or incorrect for a simple Adruino Me

Re: Smoked Power Supply (kinda like smoked salmon; smelly) - 2 years ago

This style power supplies has a thermal overload resistor RT1 in series with a fuse. I had one burn up, an after replacing the thermal overload resistor RT1 power supply came back to life. I selected a thermal overload resistor RT1 to allow for a little more current and heat before blowing. Four years later my power is still working supplying power for my 3D Printer.

Re: 3d printer homing issue - 2 years ago

Should have mentioned that the Run-out switch is connected to end-stop Z-Max by duplicating pins from Z-max to filament run-out in marlin. Knowing this thought that ENDSTOP_NOISE_THRESHOLD may be my solution for false filament run-out.

Re: 3d printer homing issue - 2 years ago

QuoteDust I would enable ENDSTOP_NOISE_THRESHOLD as I suspect your getting nose on the endstops wires I have a simple filament run-out switch, so if I have a false filament run-out sense happening ever so seldom then it could be because of noise. And it is then possible the ENDSTOP_NOISE_THRESHOLD could help eliminate the false filament run-out detection?
