Re: Arduino & Marlin compile

Hi William
I don’t have a model I’m building from scratch. I’ve sorted the mechanics from off the shelf parts and parts I’ve printed on my other printer. It’s just the firmware that’s holding me. I wanted th use marlin as the firmware as it looked as though I could Taylor it to my machine.

G2S bed levelling probe

Hi
I have built a G2S Pro printer and finally got it working.
I have a problem with the auto bed levelling probe. It has to be manually lowered and probe operates a micro-switch as it touches the bed.
My problem is that when the machine tries to probe the points along the right hand side of the bed ...

Re: No Extruder when printing

[quote=derfriese84 post_id=82378 time=1517422635 user_id=63733]
Hello,

I had the same problem. If you changed some parameters in the marlin firmware, you had to upload it on you 3D printer again. After that you have to go into the menu of your printer to the point "settings". In the settings you ...

Re: No Extruder when printing

I have tried running single lines copied from the G code file
G1 E0.10000 F900.00000
I had expected this to extrude a positive amount of filament, but it actually retracted the filament by approx 10mm. I'm thinking that something in the code is ...

Re: No Extruder when printing

Hi William
No I haven't changed any of the wiring as the extruder works fine when in manual control. The only time it doesn't work is when the machine is actually printing a sliced print. I thought I may be missing a line of code enabling the extruder at the start but I can't find one. The extruder ...

No Extruder when printing

I have a Geeetech Delta G2S Pro built from a kit. All the bits work as expected including the extruders (2off) in the manual mode. I've used Slic3 Pruser in Repatier Host to produce the print code. The printer warms up and goes through all the printing moves but the extruder doesn't lay down any ...
