2020 and still helps. However, I think its time for an update!
Perfect explanations, presentation and delivery as always.
And, I always learn more from you with every video.
Keep up the great work Tom
Finally got the time to tinker with the printer and your videos help a lot, it is all I need to get started again and it covers everything I need. Really removes a lot of painfull research and testing. Many thanks!
Thanks Thomas for this video I really needed it and probably all the others that you mention in here. I am learning more from this channel than I have from everywhere but the Docs! Your the best and really appreciate what you do. When I am able, I will make sure I hit you up with a little green! I finally picked up my first Printer ever because of you and the fact that I have this awesome resource. You are the best on TH-cam! The Duke of 3D.
That was a very good and concise explanation of the configuration process. We've got a boatload of changes coming to Marlin 1.1.0 (which will have another so-called "release candidate" out shortly) and it would be great to see an update on configuration and some of the new features when it's released.
Still relevant in 2022. I bought a V1.03 lulzbot mini off ebay and needed to upgrade to a motherboard compatible with LCD interface. The stock motherboard was a mini Rambo 1.1b and I needed a 1.3a. Lulzbot wanted to charge $200, but I could buy the same board from Prusa for $130 (somehow shipping to CA from CZ was less than shipping from ND). The only catch was that I needed to flash brand new firmware. Because this board came with Prusa firmware already installed, Cura alone was not enough to connect to the board and update firmware. Arduino was the only way and this video showed me everything I needed to make it work. Thanks Thomas!!!
Just made and working build of Marlin 1.1.7 for the CR10S and works amazingly well :)
Thomas, great informative video. I'm building a new printer soon and really appreciate the time you put in to these videos.
it's late 2020 and this is still helpful! Thanks brother!
Great video! Love these in depth explanations.
This was an excellent video with great explanation of the config files. Thanks.
Super video. Very informative. Helped me very much as to what all parameters mean in the firmware and how to tweak them. Thanks
Thank you so much. It became very usefull video for me. When i finished my clone ultimaker 2 extended's mechanic I'll start working on firmware :)
excellent production quality!
this is exactly the video i needed! thanks!
I must already have done it on a another video but nevertheless, THANK YOU, or should I say, DANK JE, Thomas. Your help for us newbies is invaluable.
Like always really well done video!
A great video as always and very informative..
thanks for all your videos, they are very helpful. :)
Hello Tom,
Great video, as always!
In your previous version of this video guide you mentioned that you prefer not to use PID when you're controlling the heated bed with a solid state relay (for example for powering a silicone heater with mains voltage). Do you still recommend using the bang-bang method in such cases?
Very nice walk though Tom.
Will you be doing a Repetier walk through? I'm interested to hear you thoughts of PID VS Dead Time Temp control.
Another great video Thanks Thomas
Would you please do a video on the mks gen l v1.0 firmware for tronxy x5s configuration. I'm having trouble with this?
Thanks
Did anyone else time travel and come here from the 2014 version and see Tom get older and better?
Actually, I time traveled an additional year to respond to your comment just... now.
Thank you so much. Best Vdo!!!
Great video :)
Just one question. In you tutorial you installed the latest RC version. Should we really go for the possibly bug-filled release candidates or is it a better idea to opt for the stable version?
Thanks Thomas, your videos are always very helpful. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for this very useful video
thank you alot
for this information
as always, very informative,.. but one thing I noticed, I don't have a "boards.h" file or tab anywhere.... ?
I highly recommend Repetier Firmware for delta machines, it has better delta calculation giving smoother prints and higher max speed.
Thanks for the very informative videos. I followed these directions as best I could but my steppers will not move. When I try to jog them they lock up. I'm searching the firmware line by line but I am stumped.
THIS VIDEO IS GOD SEND.
Super !! thats was help my to solve my problem thank You so much !!! very helpful video
I hope to see a 2020 version with Marlin 2.0 this year.
Great video :) , it helped me set up most of my self build printer, but i dont know how to set the home position and how to tell the printer where to start printing. at the moment when i home the printer the head just goes to the top corner, it does not know where the bed is or where to start the print or even the bed size. any chance you have a video of how to set that up in marlin? thanks for all your videos...
Awesome and helpful video, although i couldn't help but notice the sequence of Chinese in your shirt is supposed to be "今日娱乐节目".
hey Thomas , is there a way to get my configs out of my anet a8 before i upgrade mine firmaware?
Thank you , and keep up the great job
Thanks for gudiens and support
Nicely done! Thanks :-)
Can we get an updated 2017/2018 version of this video in 4k?
Hey Thom! Have you thought about doing an update for the smoothieware software?
THANK YOU. Your awesome
Thomas ... nice video ... when you got to the section on Z Probe ... that I was looking for. You said you had another video that covered that section in more detail. I looked, but didn’t seem to locate it. Could you give me the title to that video so I could review it. Appreciate it. Take care.
Hi Tom, could you add the links to the relevant other videos you made about the Marlin firmware in the description please?
It take ages to find the time in the video when you mentioned then and provide the link and I can't find all of them in your video list.
Cheers, Jeremy
Hey Tom that was great explanation ,I have used RAMPS1.4 board and in the firmware I defined temp sensor 0 for nozzle and bed sensor for temp sensor bed, nozzle sensor connected T0 on the ramps 1.4 and where should plug bed sensor ,on the ramps1.4 it has T0,T1,T2 PINS please reply
Do you have a video on setting up Marlin for a printer not listed and more basic. People who are not trying this for the first time I am sure are clear when you say just change this or add this or go here and get this and add it..... I am new to this and have spent several hours trying different change this and add this or this should be scenarios and have not got it to work yet!
Thanks for the videos and I am sure in the future they will make more since.
Gracias Thom!
thank u for this video.
here's my like
I'm completely new to 3D printing and have a question about the "Motion" section of the config. I understand how to calculate the steps per mm with the Prusa calculator, I just want to know in what order they are respectively in the code. For example, in the config file, you are showing us the values are (80, 80, 4000, 500). What order are these values in? (X, Y, Z, and E) ? I hope the way I asked my question is understood. Thanks.
How to work with "delta" setting ?!
What should I write in the code of delta
Could you make a video like this one but for SmoothieWare ? I'm having trouble converting Merlin settings to Smoothie.
I have a GT2560 board, how do i backup current settings/fw before i start messing about updating it ? I'm (very) new to arduino.
In start of video you told " i show you world of c++ configuration files that control every thing about your 3D printer." But you did not tell about lcd and sd card configuration. I am new in this field and did not familiar about c++ so please tell me have you any video about lcd and sd card configuration.
Any it very help full. Thanks for sharing
Will you do something like this when the einsy board comes out?
Thomas can you do a walk through on the new merlin RC8 as I am lost on the bed tramming it's all confusing me... Since its update... Thanks mate...
When updating the config for the latest version with entries from the old firmware, how do you account for differences in options? The firmware released with my printer is missing some options that are in the latest version, and vice versa.
Hi Thomas..If I replace the configuration.h file in the newest Marlin firmware with my Tevo Tarantula i3 printer easy config...will that still keep the firmware new? or is it the weakest link at the older config?
Thank you for the video!!!
Dear friends! I am building a 3D printer and I need your help and advice. I have 4 stepper motors on the Z axis.
Question -
How can Extruder 2 driver be used in Marlin as an additional drive for the Z axis (so that there are two drivers on the Z axis that work in parallel (each of which controls two stepper motors)
Thanks in advance!!!
can you please make a 2018 updated config.
Hi Thomas ! compare marlin and Skynet firmware , which one is more user friendly and easy to use ?
Thanks :)
Skynet is a fork of marlin. If there is a preconfigured version for your printer, use that.
hey, and thanks for the video, i got some issues with the bed and nozzle tempretaur
at 15:35 you are talkin about the wrong thermistor, my temperature at nozzle and bed isnt plausible, at nozzle its about 140 and at bed about 100 degree. i already switched the thermistor to 200 k and also to 10 k, at 10 the nozzle temp is gettin down to 65 degree. but i think this isnt the right way to fix this
i hope u can help me, thanks a lot
thank you so much
Is there a way to have a part cooling fan and 3 power outputs? at 7:20 he mentions how you can configure the outputs for a extruder, fan, and bed. i want to add in another extruder but none of the board have all 4 things.
I would like turn on an amplifier for 1s between the movement of xyz and stop. which is connected to aux 1 pin.
Hello, I can not find an answer wherever you will be in charge, and if I run the 3d printer, the extruder will start to heat itself up and come up to a value of 304 degrees. then when I try to set it myself I get a "maxtemp" error and want to restart the printer.
I made the necessary adjustments to the software marlin and code I'm using
I am having a very odd problem with my Anet A8 in that even though the bed is level and adjusted properly, the first layer of the print is being "printed" 1/8 of an inch off of the bed! My manufacturer has thrown in the towel (they won't/can't help me anymore) so I have no where to turn to for answers. Do you know of a site Where I can ask reliable sources for the answer that might know? I have tried the RepRapWiki and they are stumped as well... Thanks for your help! I watch your channel often and enjoy the information you pass on!
Hi tnx for good Description...
a question...
I have Rumba+ board and 3 extruder & 1 nozzle and TFT 28 LCD.
How add extruder num 3 on my TFT configuration...!?
(plz help me I Really needed).
Tom, do you mind making a video on how to unbrick the Tevo Tarantula LCD?? Many thanks
Have you tried asking the manufacturer or seller?
do you have video for delta printers i just received a delta through kickstarter the board is doa so i am gonna swap it for ramps
I much prefer the Repetier firmware, also comes with a nice web interface configuration editor so no sifting through config files.
will that work with ramps 1.4
Just as an FYI to people. Marlin IS available for the Monoprice Mini DELTA machine that I am using. In fact I have Marlin running on it now. The fork is "MARLIN4MPMD". It saved my sanity.
Hello,
I followed everything including the setup video for the Full Graphic Smart Display, but there are some major issues with the SD card. It will only recognize once and then never again. I think this video is a bit outdated.
Dear respected sir, Hope you are in good health with success and happiness. I am really happy for your awsome works. Two days ago, I bought a RUMBA control board for my large scale 3-color 3D printer. But I am facing some problem to install marlin software. What could be the differences if I use RUMBA control board and 3-color extruder? Please sir, reply me.....
Dont home any axis before checking endstops are working with M119 commands
Good advice - and always be within 3ft of the power off switch. First machine, Repra i2, crash crash crash crash, and now I have a drone - crash crash crash....
what software is being used to send these commands?
Any advice on how to set up Marlin to run two extruders, a bed and a fan? The standard config allows 3 of 4 of these. I've been searching, but no word on how to control 4 of 4. The MKS boards support this, but I'm actually using a standard RAMPS with an external SSR to drive a 120VAC hotbed. I'm driving the SSR with one of the servo outputs since it only requires a TTL connection. This frees up the regular driver outputs for the extruders and fan. I found in marlin how to move the hot bed connection to the servo GPIO, but I'm still stuck with only 3 of 4 items I need to control.
I downloaded this version but I am afraid it is an exec file for Windows. Any idea how to update firmware for tevo tarantula using Mac. Thanks. Great videos, keep up the good work, Thomas.
How do you put the Original v1. Anet A8 firmware on the Anet A6 mother board? Everyone seems to be keeping this a secret for some reason. Can any one tell me?
I have a question: Why aren't SCARA machines more popular? It seems to me that a printer
like the Fabrikator mini for example would get better performance and a larger build
space with less material cost with a simple SCARA mechanism.
Hi Thomas, Im replacing a 2560 board that experienced a main power plug short (heated bed not working but the rest seems to kind of work) with a new gt 2560 on a Prusa i3 "CLONE" (pretty crap but works ok...its a printer at my work...I have an Ender 3 which is awesome!! ). Id like to read the current firmware to make note of the settings to upload to the new board. What is the process of getting that information from the original board please??
I am struggling with adding a "store memory" option to my LCD. I have changed/updated/and flashed the arduino EEPROM code changes and for some reason none of my changes take effect on the LCD. I even un-commented the line you suggested around 13:30 that sometimes causes updating complications. Do you have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thank you so much for your help
Hi, Thanks for all the great videos.I'm building a Prusa I3 sorta, Any chance you can tell me how to config the Configuration_adv.h for dual Z driver and I'm using a Z probe. The setup wants to use #if ENABLED(Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS)
#define Z2_USE_ENDSTOP _XMAX_ Will this be a conflict Thank you much.
hello!
I just made my own 3D printer. I downloaded "Marlin" firmware but when I check my printer by the "Pronterface", all the steppers does not move but they produces jerks and noise. All the motors are new and in working condition but in the printer they have these issues. What should I do?
I will be very Thankful to you.
I installed Marlin 1.4 with arduino on my Ramps 1.4 board, but when I home x, y or z, the z axis goes up.
But when i move each axis individually, they move in the right x,y and z directions, positive and negative. Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong?
How can I find the origin firmware configuration.h file before updating? I'm not sure about the config of the machine that I use but that needs to be updated. So I need to check the exact thermister type or X, Y and Z steps and... which you teach in this tutorial.
Thanks!!!
Hi Thomas ! I wonder can you make a video on how to setup the marlin firmware to use the nextion touch screen lcd on anet a8 printer or not ?
Like how to hook them up and how to program it and etc ....
I am just a new 3d printer user , so I am still learning it , hope to have your reply :)
Thank you
+Jimngu Gk I have neither of those products, so for now I can't cover them.
ok understand it thank you :)
after I see this video over and over I still not very understand it , looks like so complicated to use for me , due to so stupid I am so I am surrender to use this firmware :(
thanks so much
So I updated my firmware as you suggested but I have a problem with Z Axis i have HICTOP 3DP08. the problem is Z axis is not working correctly it turns hard and or won"t turn when I use machine control X and Y axis work great.
16:14 Can we make this the new 3D printing gang sign please? This is perfect and I'm going to use this trick all the time
Ahahahaha nice idea :D
I think the "POVRay" crew already has that one. ;)
That's fair. We'll just steal it.
Question when I open it. It doesn't have all the tabs as shown in your video?
I am building a custom delta 3d printer based off of a Kossel xl. I got the end stops figured out (meaning they are triggered when closed). The problem I am having is when anyone of the X,Y endstops get pressed the printer will not move anymore. Do you have any ideas how to fix this?
Hello my teacher good morning my teacher marlin in the latest version I always get the version error message what I did not how to fix it if you help us we would be grateful
Does anyone know how to get E0 working, I've been using E1 and am trying to turn my printer into a dual extruder.
Having lots of trouble heating up my extruder and bed on wanhoa I3. Both presets of (1 and 6) for the thirmester show a bad reading for the extruder. Please help!
Hi Thomas I am have problems with my firmware, my LED screen has gone square block on the screen,
And how do I reflash, I am having so much problems please help to resolve this problem sean, Edit it’s fixed done
Just watched your video since i don't get my probe working properly on my Anet A8. Its a capacitive 18mm probe which seems connected correctly and gives optical feedback once it detects something. However it does not trigger the Z min endstop when homing. At 11:50 in your video you explained the endstop inverting, which was also my first try, but if I change the value of Z_MIN_ENDSTOP and Z_MIN_PROBE ENDSTOP the printer moves the Z axis up instead of down when homing ? And still the probe doesn't trigger the endstop. Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
hello after making a change to one of the endstops on the firmware and uploading it the screen is now blank
while uploading marlin 1.1 it shows error in uploading, and soon after some time my controller stop displaying information,
it show only dots as when it start, still stop button on controller works
could you please help
11:03 What does trigger mean? Does it shut the printer off? I have an Alunar m508 that restarts if I try to preheat the heated bed. I'm trying to figure out if it has something to do with the thermistor being wrong or something else.
