Perfect explanations, presentation and delivery as always.
And, I always learn more from you with every video.
Keep up the great work Tom
2020 and still helps. However, I think its time for an update!
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 RUclips! The Duke of 3D.
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 I think this video is a bit outdated.
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!!!

it's late 2020 and this is still helpful! Thanks brother!
Thomas, great informative video. I'm building a new printer soon and really appreciate the time you put in to these videos.
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.
Great video! Love these in depth explanations.
Just made and working build of Marlin 1.1.7 for the CR10S and works amazingly well :)
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
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.
excellent production quality!
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 :)
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.
this is exactly the video i needed! thanks!
Thanks Thomas, your videos are always very helpful. Keep up the great work!
Like always really well done video!
thanks for all your videos, they are very helpful. :)
A great video as always and very informative..
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
Thank you so much. Best Vdo!!!
THIS VIDEO IS GOD SEND.
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.
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?
Thank you for this very useful video
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??
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?
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".
Super !! thats was help my to solve my problem thank You so much !!! very helpful video
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 highly recommend Repetier Firmware for delta machines, it has better delta calculation giving smoother prints and higher max speed.
Hi how to change the home position X and Y are ok but Z moves to the center of the bed i want to change the Z position where x0 and y0 are pls help
Hello Dear
Thats the Great JOb you do Thanks
I have One Question
Any Idea That i can Replace SD Card to USB Device like Pendrive , USB Cable etc to REPRAP SmartController LCD Display???
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
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.
Gracias Thom!
Thanks for gudiens and support
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.
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.
Can we get an updated 2017/2018 version of this video in 4k?
How to work with "delta" setting ?!
What should I write in the code of delta
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.
I hope to see a 2020 version with Marlin 2.0 this year.
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 have a GT2560 board, how do i backup current settings/fw before i start messing about updating it ? I'm (very) new to arduino.
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
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?
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
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.
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!
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.
Nicely done! Thanks :-)
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.
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?
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
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
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
THANK YOU. Your awesome
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?
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
as always, very informative,.. but one thing I noticed, I don't have a "boards.h" file or tab anywhere.... ?
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).
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
thank you alot
for this information
I got some problem to chose an option of auto bed levelling for my delta 3d printer it seems not right all the time can you guide me. I also use marlin firmware
Hello
My printer auto bed leveling does not seem to be working even though I have added the G92 in the Slicer. Printer performs the auto leveling but I don't see any difference from when I don't use G92. Can I send you my configuration.h so you can tell if there is a problem with it? Thanks
i have a question whenm mine starts printing it starts about 3 mm from the base of he bed basically it moves the hotend up and then starts printing how do i fix it
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
Does anyone know how to get E0 working, I've been using E1 and am trying to turn my printer into a dual extruder.
hello after making a change to one of the endstops on the firmware and uploading it the screen is now blank
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.
thank u for this video.
here's my like
sir , i made a prusa i3 steel 3d printer and i use board called lsee v1.0 when i load the firmware marlin on this board the printer do nothing and it doesn't work what should i do and what the changes must be in marlin firmware to be compatible with my board
I would like turn on an amplifier for 1s between the movement of xyz and stop. which is connected to aux 1 pin.
*Pls HELP: Want to adjust z home position to -0.1*, *Im not using any probe sensor*
i do
G28
M211 S0(so i can go below 0)
Adjust my z axis(let say I want it to be -0.1, as we know sign should be opposite so +ve 0.1)
m428(to save all offsets)
m500
m501(shows i have successfully saved it X:0 Y:0 Z:-0.1)
*but when I home again I expect it be -0.1mm below the actual position. which it doesn't. The nozzle stays at 0,0,0. But if do M501 it still shows my nozzle position to be at X:0 Y:0 Z:-0.1*
*why is the nozzle not going down by -0.1mm even though it has been written on EEPROM*
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.....
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 ?
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
please someone help me. i have no idea what im doing and after a bunch of crap with it saying i don't have some libraries installed, now i cant even find the tabs that come after the main marlin tab. no config.h or anything else. i have tryed reinstalling arduino and marlin about 11 times.
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...
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.
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!!!
Hi mate, a question, I am currently using a chimera hot end, but I am having problems, can you please help me to get both fo them working please, and what do I need to change in marlin
So, I'm new to 3d printing.
I burned the microcontroller, ( blue screen )bought a new one, soldered on, then, the same problem, got a blue screen.
Do I have to install a bootloader, to flash a new firmware?
My 3D printer (tevo Turantula) is not directly connected to my PC. Do I need to connect it to modify these settings?
Hi thomas, i'm a masters student, we have a modified leap frog creatr in our lab. Modifier sent us the marlin firmware with all the specifications needed, i'm trying to upload the firmware but every section giving me some compilation errors, how can fix them.
I am hopping you can help me out here I have a Anet A8 with Marlin installed I am trying to get it to save my bed leveling settings. I do have the commands in the code open to allow me to save but it will not save and I have to relevel each time I boot up . I did not put a bootloader on to save memory for future upgrades and I am wondering if I need a bootloader for marlin to save the commands in the bootloader to boot up with the saved setting.. Can you point me to any info that will help me out. thanks
Will you do something like this when the einsy board comes out?
I see that the merlin.ino file shown in this video contains some code. but the one I downloaded only has some comments, no code. Is it not necessaly in the newer version of the firmware (1.1.x) ?
Hi, Thomas !!
So, I would like to know if can you help me !!!
I need yo know how I can to configure the marlin firmware for I use in Robotic Arm. So, i don't need to configure the axis z, x, and y and just the extruder. I from Brazil, and i don't if you understood me kkk
Can you help about this?
if I have a 3ds mini delta printer would this firmware work with the arduino mega main board?
Hi, I picked up a old reprap i2,, I now have it printing nice, but realized one issue.. I wanted to change a few things and I do not have a backup copy of the Marlin script on the arduino,,,, is there a way i can get the basic info for the printer to show up using some g-code to get the info, so i could set up another arduino with Marlin ??? thinking some ways to save some time then from starting from scratch. ..
Could you make a video like this one but for SmoothieWare ? I'm having trouble converting Merlin settings to Smoothie.
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?
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.
