Has anyone got a slicker way of upgrading Marlin? At present I'm envisaging having two copies of the Arduino IDE open side by side so I can transpose the config/customisation across...

Winmerge

Yoink. Nice one, cheers!

I use WinDiff as you can see both side by side and line by line.

Nice one, I'll give both of those a look when I have a moment. Cheers. I'm happy with the 1.0.2 implementation but there's some nice features like move on pause etc in the trunk release that I fancy using. Handy with PETG as it requires constant nozzle wiping!

Tonight's oddity... my RAMPS 1.4 board only works with both 5A and 11A powering it. It'll power up with just 5A connected but the heatbed won't work which is annoying as it's powered off the relay!

The 11A feed only goes into the heated bed mosfet, so you have to have a 12v (or 24v) wire going into the connector for the bed to work.

So here's a quick how-to video some of you might find useful, .stl thumbnails in Windows Explorer.

So can I jumper the 11A connection from the 5A safely? Or do I need to mess with diode D2?

This is on your D-Bot right?

I'm using this as ref for my NFire 1 upgrades (heated bed) and controlling it off a relay. So I'm just using a wire from the 12v in on the 5A to the 12V in on the 11A connector.

Yep, that's the puppy.

Missed that on the wiring diagram, and the LED power too. Was going to run a seperate 12V rail for a switch bank but that works nicely. Almost like David planned it lol.

Cheers for the pointer.

Your going to blow yourself up

Hey, it's been working fine for ages.

No fires, and only a slight burning smell. Nothing to worry about.

randal · 28 Jan 2017 at 21:30

Anyone ever had to recalibrate e steps when chsnging filament types?

PETG I'm at 285
PLA wants 305

Difference between 46 and 50mm when 50mm requested from Repetier. Odd.

The Prometheus System I backed on Kickstarter is printing :-)

, all be it one colour at the moment but it's a start, https://www.instagram.com/p/BP7cZDaBYHh/.

Looking good

Just how many printers do you need :eek:

randal · 31 Jan 2017 at 14:54

Yeah right.

Looks sweet though, mmm dual extruders.

The Prometheus System, isn't a printer just the dual extrusion parts. It's on my NFire 1 printer (which was also on kickstarter) including one that's in parts I currently have 5 printers :-)

Taking a break from printing parts and upgrades. Feels good.

Weeeeeeeeee.
