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!
Look man, I’m sorry! It’s been a pretty shit day both physically and emotionally and I projected that on you.
If I’m being brutally honest with myself too it also comes down to my own insecurities about marketable skills. I have a decent amount under my belt for someone my age but it never feels like enough does it?
Anyway, I’m going to go open a bottle of wine and stare at my printer. Take care.
Thanks for your apology. However, I will open a beer on my side and join you. And may I suggest a nice vase print? Skulls are never out of style. But a good gear bearing will help with the “figgits” around test time. And remember, your the one who took some initiative to offer help even under your own life’s weight of shorting time when you need more. You have heart. Don’t give up. And FYI, no matter what you do. Someone else will say it’s never enough. Let them say it. You keep doing you. And if you got big ideas, share share share! Discouragement is needed to produce the refinement humans need to become great. Your halfway through!
In Configuration.h file, you’ll find #define statements for travel limits, end switches direction, polarity and presence, and so on. The comments there are pretty good documentation.
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.
