I have a Marlin 1.1.5 That I am currently Using. There are only a few changes that would have to be made to it to configure it back to the stock Hictop 3DP11. I have Baby Steps enabled, Auto Bed leveling for a TL-W3MC2 that would need to be change Z-Axis to invert true to false to work with SN04N A ...

The Baud rates should be [2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 250000]

I did not have to install a boot loader Installed Chip Lucks version with a few changes and Arduino 1.1.8
Just compiled yesterday with Arduino 1.8.7

Printing with 3DP11 12v Hictop. It appears that Printing on the Vinyl Transfer Paper Tape with a 3D Printer that is properly adjusted works fine the first time. This is inserting the ABS into a system that had just printed PLA extrude a amply amount of filament to purge PLA. May need to up the fan s...

Well that was too easy, may have to try this again it was so simple. Grabbed the PLA same color placed it into extruder at PLA temperatures and pushed slightly to start the extruding process. (Was just testing with this lower PLA temperature before going to a higher temp to see what the lowest temp ...

I was having Problems with the ABS not sticking to the Vinyl Transfer Paper Tape, that is why I went to the Blue Painters Tape method. However after finding out the the Proximity Sensors mounting screw what loose and playing hell with my nozzle adjustments. I will try again on the Vinyl Transfer Pap...

I have been printing PLA now for 2 years very Successfully. So 1 week ago I ordered 3 Rolls of ABS and to my surprise today they kind of arrived. (Picture below) ABS.jpg You will note that out of an order of 3 rolls of filament only Red and Blue are ABS the Black was actually the most important for ...

I never heard of it either or I would have never allowed it to be on the Fiberglass Shower Insert.
It sat on the porcelain bathroom sink basin for almost a year no stains their.

Today noticed that the Soap Disk that was 3D Printed with Pink PLA sitting on the Fiberglass Shower seat. Has left a large dark stain the exact size of the bottom of the Soap disk. So I guess PLA color will bleach to certain types of surface materials. Today I an asking everyone is they know what wi...

If you know math, check this out. Thank you, The numbers seem higher than expected, did you calculate for you machine Strange I search many times and could not find a Calculator for filament speed. Then saw your Web copied the "RepRap Max Printing Speed Calculator" and many came up. O found this on...

Maybe I stated it incorrectly - How do I calculate my Print Speed in a way that can be understood.

It Appears that the "G28 Z Forbidden" is given when you home Z while At Home.

While using OctoPrint If I am at home and home Z in OctoPrint I get the "G28 Z Forbidden".
If I first home XY and then home Z in OctoPrint it works fine.

Not sure if this is the same but found a reason for "G28 Z Forbidden". While using OctoPrint If I am at home and home Z in OctoPrint I get the "G28 Z Forbidden". If I first home XY and then home Z in OctoPrint it works fine. In most cases only use Octoprint mainly for Preheating and video streaming,...

With Halloween returning soon It is time to start thinking about the "Trick or Treaters" Getting all the 3D Benchy's, Fidgets, Automobiles, Airplanes, Bat-O-Rangs, ready for the Trick or Treaters. For a while I though that the Halloween fad was long over! I found that it was not. Just had to find so...
