Good Day, I am really in need of some help, I have built my DIY 3D printer / cnc machine and currently running marlin firmware on the arduino mega with ramps 1.4. I got the firmware for a prusa i3 but here comes the problem, my x,y axis travel is not the same as the prusa’s. So I need help to custom configure the firmware for my machines limits and travel. I will like if someone can phisically help me to tweek my software and hardware to get the best end result. I am based in SA Johannesburg and is willing to pack all my stuff in my boot and come to you to set things up.
Usually I’d offer to customise and send the firmware via google drive but really, it’s not difficult to set up Marlin. And figuring it out yourself with the aid of the excellent documentation both online and in the Marlin file itself will help you a lot in the long term!
I can help via Skype. I charge fair prices. If you donate to me or my YouTube channel, then can work out something. We can share screens via Skype, I could show you on my computer or I can help walk you through it and when done, you will know a lot.
Okay then. Be sure to donate your time to others as I have done in the past and still do. But everything for free? Not paying for Marlin. Just buy lunch for someone to help you. Depends on how you look at it. Your answer was not very helpful. You just had a comment that you want others to know. Good for you. But your comments with no help attached is just wrong. I offered my personal time. Not what everyone can see on WordPress/YouTube. No offense, but this is one of those things for me. I did it all on my own. Took way more time then I wanted. I just try to help without killing my own time and income. You know how many would flock to me if I offer free help on any 3d printer? And just to clarify, I did not try to sell Marlin or sell a setup. I am selling my personal time and skills and experience. So please, offer help, not a comment that just shows how you “feel” as that’s just not helpful.
I do. I’ve helped several people through Marlin and their printer setups. I even CAD model parts for people and post my files online for free.sure, not everything for free but there’s literally no reason to pay for lessons for a free, open source and easy to use firmware. The only real reason to do so would be laziness and over abundance of money.
I did it all on my own too. It took an afternoon. And to be honest though I’ve helped others I always push for learning from their own experience. It creates a much deeper understanding.
I offered advice. I myself have exams to study for and lots of work to do.
But you know what? In order to save him some unnecessary expenditure, sure. I’m open to help and tutor further. I’ve built my own printers and have experience in this area, so feel free to ask if you need help! Please note I’m time constrained so may take a short while to get the files done for you!
Thanks all for the comments, it seem like with me fiddling around in the firmware and the current weather, my machine changed his mood. Im now printing in the center, with a little fine tunning, I will master the art of 3d printing lol. Ill come and show off my machine an finished work piece once done.
