Marlin RC-4 (RCBugFix) almost stable! Going final soon!
This post is just a head up for everybody using Marlin on their 3D-Printers. Release Candidate #4 is getting very stable and the bug reports have dropped off to mostly being support questions. Very...

Go into your Configuration.h file and turn on: #define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_FEATURE But you will also need to define things like X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER, Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER,...

I have already done all of that. Also I am not using a servo I am using one of these. [www.ebay.com] This is the code that I have set for the bed leveling. #define ENABLE_AUTO_BED_LEVELING // Delete...

Hi, I am currently buidling a large 3D printer with TWO Beds. Each bed has it own power supply and temperature sensor. Now I need the each bed temperature sensor to be handled by Marlin, Has someone...

Well, The third temp sensor is for the second extruder. You could hack the code to do it. Actually you could hack the code to do anything. But do you really need two temp probes? Unless you want to...

Hi! I'm assembling a Kossel XL, using an Arduino Mega, a RAMPS 1.4 Board, and Marlin. connecting the Arduino to the computer is fine, Display shows normal temepratures around 37°C But as soon as I...

On my recently acquired Geetech Prusa I3 I make sure to choose the layer height to correspond to an integer number of full steps but to ensure the Z position corresponds to a full step, the home...

First I must apologize for asking a question when I haven't yet tried Marlin and have spent only about an hour reading about it and viewing the source code. My question is, when Z probing, is there a...

It will note the location that the endstop triggered. And this will not be a full step typically. This will be at some micro-step.

My guess is you have a left handed coordinate system. Check out: [github.com]
View ArticleRe: Auto bed leveling with piezo disk question
That capability is not built into Marlin currently. But it is literally a one line change (addition) to do it. You would simply add a delay(100); at the start of the run_z_probe() routine.

For sure you lose resolution. I don't know what happens with the Sli3r's. I know Slic3r moves the Z-Axis in partial steps when it is doing support material. But Marlin will work. I think you are...

Thanks Roxy, that looks like it will work. I have almost no skills with high level languages (but was useful back in the day with assembler). I will try my hand at some tinkering. Mike

As long as you have the motherboard type set to a ramps board this is a hardware fault. probably a dead mosfet on d10 Or could be as simple as not having the ramps on the mega firmly.
