3D Printing Forum

BAMMMM!!!!! She's printing. I can't believe it. I didn't think it would ever print again. And I was not getting any help from the tech support. Sir, I can't thank you enough. Your patience with me was incredibly nice. I am going to give you the highest marks that I possibly can. I have already bragg...

Well I don't no if that's my problem.
I ran a simple print with my cooling fan off where I could see the motor shaft and gear that drives the filament.
The temp was at 200 deg. I let the print run and watched it never ran.

Well I got the firmware loaded to my printer. The Z axis is moving like it should. But the extruder motor is not moving. I can go to move axis and try to move the extruder with the knob. Nothing. I put a new motor on the extruder. It still want move. Is there anything in the firmware that I need to ...

I did get a error when I compiled the file. I tried to attrach a word file showing the error. I hope it works.
If not the error was: Write(Kill_Pin,High);

I did it!!! I changed the line in the file..... No,It did not give me any kind of an error. This is how I got it opened. The video shows him dragging and dropping the .ino file into the Arduino program. (That didn't work) So I opened the .ino file and all the tabs were there. I went to the "con...

Well I think I'm making some progress. I have the file opened in Arduino. But, I don't have the tabs across the top. I only have 2 tabs across the top: sketch_apr13b and Marlin_3DP08_3DP11_398_E1_ Any suggestions? Thanks for your patience with me. As you can tell by now, I've never done any of this ...

OK, by watching the video my Arduino screen looks just like the one in the video. But I still can't find the .ino file to open.
I only get and .rar file when I download the Marlin firmware.

Could the Arduino file be 1.0.6 not 1.0.5? I see that 1.0.6 download when I go to the Arduino website using the link you posted.

OK, I have downloaded the file "Marlin_3DP08_3DP11_398_E1.rar.
Now how do I open this file to make changes?

Thanks,

First of THANKS so much for your help. You have helped me more in the last 24 hours than in 2 weeks of emailing tech support. The Arduino software will not open my firmware. It says it needs an .ino file. My firmware is .hex. So I'm stuck. And I'm afraid that I'm going mess up things even worse. Thi...

Thank you so much for your help. This is the firmware that I downloaded from their website. Marlin_3DP08_3DP11_398.cpp.hex I have a question. How do you flash the firmware? I was loading the firmware through Cura. Is this the correct wat to do it? I have no idea how to do this? "When you flash ...

I need some help. I have a Hictop 3DP08 printer about 3 years old with 8mm x 1.25 axis screws and end-stop switches. Everything was going fine until I updated the firmware. Now I print an 1" x 1" x .5" tall cube. I get a 1" x 1" x .125" tall cube. What's up with my Z Ax...
