Clif, Thanks for the files. I was able to get PID autotune to work by replacing my heater. The installed heater, and all the spares I found in the box of parts had a resistance of 4 ohms (12v system). I replaced with heaters rated for 24v (14 Ohms) and had no issue with the autotune function. Going through some basic calibration now - finally got the bed level. I am looking into BL Touch (oby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
Clif, I would appreciate it if you would share the modification STL files. Tightening up the cable management is one of my first priorities. I am looking into adding the BL touch, but trying to figure out how I will mount it. I know it will really help dial in the bed leveling process. I tried to run a PID auto-tune last night but it kept failing due to overheat. I checked the resistanceby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
Clif, Thank you! I was able to adjust a couple settings I was able to get off the printer before I messed the firmware up the first time, and with your help the machine is printing again. My next steps are to dial in some of the slicer settings, then get to work on upgrades. Do you have any recommendations for high pay off upgrades? I am thinking of upgrading the frame to extruded aluminum foby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
Clif, Thanks for your help and support. I have looked through your posts, but somehow couldn't find any for Marlin 2.0.9.3 for the HICTOP. If you could re-post that version for use with VS-Code/PlatformIO/Marlin Auto Build I would be grateful. Thanks again, Samby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
Clif, Thanks for your help, and sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner as I have been largely overcome by events here. I have had the opportunity to look at the firmware you posted in your last post, and noticed that it hasn't been updated since 2017. I don't know when Marlin added features like thermal runaway, but I couldn't find them in your version of the firmware. Also, the build voluby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
Clif, Thank you for your offer to help. As near as I can tell, I have the MPK V1. Here are my configuration files. The bed is X=200mm Y=250mm and the Z=250mm (based on a yellow sticky stuck to the machine when I got it, and verified with a ruler). I attempted to get the documentation and firmware from the HICTOP site, but it keeps asking me to request access to google drive, and I have not heaby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
Hello, I have a HICTOP 3dp-18 (I think) with an MPK V1 control board. Long story short (but listed below for those interested), I attempted to update the firmware with the latest stable version of Marlin 2.0, but have somehow put in the wrong settings. I have not been able to find any example configurations for this printer as I suspect it is not very popular, and quite old, and would appreciatby samuel.mills - Firmware - Marlin
