Since I can't buy a FT-5 I decided to calibrate my printer. I lost my firmware in a harddrive failure. (( Anyone have a version of Marlin 1.1.0-RC7 configured for our stock printers? Or optimized?by Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants

Quotetherippa Quotesrcga Quotetherippa I would suggest using an inductive/capactive sensor instead of the servo arm. If you go back about 20 pages or so there's conversation on how I did it, along with the optocoupler circuit (that you may or may not need). Tom's Guide has a good video telling you what it all entails. That requires aluminum bed, though, right? I'm not at the point where I haby Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotetherippa So, tonight I installed my new extruder (happy with it, but it needs improvements. this was a remix, expect a RippaStruder in the future), and ran into the same problem you had with Marlin losing track of coordinates after autoleveling. Turns out it's a bug (it happens if your probe offset is greater than ). The new release candidate of Marlin fixes it (1.9RC2), and I got it toby Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotemsaeger I got that aluminum bed plate like you have in the pictures but haven't installed it yet. Are you putting anything on it to get the print to stick? I was planning to still have the glass on there because I am thinking it would be hard to clean the glue or whatever off with it attached to the printer. Glass is best if you dont have an inductive sensor. If you use the sensor for autoby Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotetherippa QuoteYelloow-Snow I ordered a new hot end. Going to do Bowden but i want to do something different. I want to mount the extruder right above the hot end on the top rail. Reduce the distance and keep the weight low on the X axis. It will feed it straight down. hmmm Why hasent anyone else done this? Also... after hours and hours of work here is my S3D starting script.

So.... what a night. I made it all pretty to only plug it back in and 1 Z motor not work. Ordered new parts only to wake up and check the wires on the cable were cut. All fixed. Auto leveling question. My bed is 220 x 220 b/c i can use the full bed. (No glass) I run G0 X0 Y0. I then run G29 for auto leveling. Then sensor goes straight down no matter what I put in #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POby Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteMrfus wow... there are so many nice looking prints!!!!!! I have being doing some work on a bracket to put a cooling fan in front of the extruder and make pla cool faster to reduce problems with the areas where there are overhang, and I have played a little with the support material setting on Slic3r without too much success , the supports that the software generate are too hard to remove andby Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants
Few things. 1. I received my auto leveling sensor. Tried to build the circuit that was posted here but failed. Instead I used what Tom recommended with 2 resistors. Not as good but works. 2. Had to use Therippa's personal settings to get auto leveling to work even after using Notepad++ to compare everything. I then took his config and put in all my settings. 3. Moved x to the left side.

Got it. Thanks Therippa. You are such an asset to this community. I didn't know if I could use yours b/c you modified it for auto bed leveling and such. I guess I could dig through the code and comment out the parts I dont need.by Yelloow-Snow - Prusa i3 and variants
Hey everyone. Noob here. Printer comes in today!!! Anyways... I was wondering if anyone would give me some pointers on building this. I'm in the #folgertech IRC channel on freenode if anyone can help. Seems pretty dead tho =\ This is what I have from my research. I have no ideas what i'm doing. Still learning the terms. 1.
