Update, in case someone else has the same problem. I successfully installed marlin on my Anet 6, but it was a struggle till I found this set of instructions: (dutch) That's a step by step guide, with all the files you need. (this is important because version updates can mess with the instructions) It is in dutch, but it also says that it is a translation of a guide posted by Mark Everett on facby AndreeP - General
Thank you both for the response, I'll try the air can (I'll have to buy one) and if that doesnt work I'll make a post in the Marlin firmware section to for help with changing the firmware from the Anet to the opensource Marlin Skynet3D fork.by AndreeP - General
I have an Anet A6 and it worked fine for a while. But now it thinks the bed temperature is over 150 degrees and stops what it's doing for safety reasons. I've never even used the heated bed. It's not actually getting hot. It boots, reads 150+ degrees on the heated bed and goes in safety lockdown. It's quite annoying and has made it impossible to print anything. I already tried booting the printeby AndreeP - General
I've tried 3A and 2.2A, dont know if they get warm. I'll test it. The rest of the TB6560 settings is at stop current 50%, excitation mode 16, and decay setting 100%.by AndreeP - Mechanics
I'm using TeaCup firmware with RAMPS 1.4 electronics. It's a custom design of 3D printer, with a larger print area. It's essentially a Prusa Mendel iteration 2 in a wooden box frame instead of the triangular frame. The Z and X axis are powered by NEMA23 steppers with TB6560 stepper drivers instead of the NEMA17. Unfortunatly the NEMA23's seems to be weaker then the NEMA17 and I'm not sure why. Tby AndreeP - Mechanics
Due to circumstances, I'm thinking of replacing three of my NEMA17 stepper motors with three NEMA23 stepper motors. Electronically, my printer is a mendel iteration 2 with a RAMPS1.4. I did not assemble the RAMPS myself, I'm not sure about the quality of the parts and the soldering. I have NEMA23's and physically it's easy to replace the Z and Y axis NEMA17's with NEMA23, but I dont know if theby AndreeP - RAMPS Electronics
