Hi I have my own custom built 3D printer (230x230x200mm )with single extruder. The control board on the printer is Ramps 1.4/ Arduino 2560
Previously I was operating my printer from a Linux laptop with Pronterface/Skeinforge and was working well - however as that laptop is old and very slow, I’m forced to move over to my windows laptop for larger prints - (and I’m building a much larger printer soon)
I am testing out Lulzbot software now as it seems to be quite user friendly especially after trying to install Pronterface/Skeinforge on windows and failed, and wasted many hours.
I have a few issues with Lulzbot:
- After loading model - and starting print - the print will start without heat - in other words dry print
- If I preheat - then print prints OK .
- I am using the same Marlin firmware as on Pronterface on my Linux machine, and obviously some of the instructions are being read (like the calibration etc) while others are
not -
eg a). Waiting for temperature to hit the required level
b. The 50mm print line before start of print does not happen (this was to get the flow running consistently)
c. - Wipe nozzle has an error message - what is this button meant to do?
- The nozzle dwells before moving to next layer or something - how to get rid of this pause completely?
- Starting print and then pausing and then resuming - the printer gets confused and stops and will not resume.
How can I modify my existing marlin firmware to work with Lulzbot software?
Many thanks!
