3D Printing Forum

I am helping a user with a problem an asking forum for help
He blew up a yellow Electrolytic cap (C3) on the above board V2.5.2 can someone tell me the value of this Electrolytic Cap.

Thank You.

Have never changed out the Hot-ends on my 3D Printers, though sure other have done more in this area than myself. I find myself needing more Z-Axis height for upcoming projects. My next project will be to increase Z-Axis height to ~300mm. Mostly updated my Hictops to look professional, and printed a...

It appears that the SS signal moves over to a R96 label with no resistor routed to the EXP2 connector side. The other Side of the R96 label travels to two points Pin 5 of 74HC4050 Buffer and Pin 19 of the ATMEGA2560-16AU chip. Without a jumper on R96 the signal never gets to the EXP2 connector. Look...

Hictop Controllers MPKv1.jpg My New Hictop replacement Controller has the SD Card on the Controller, and My Marlin that was configured for use with the old controller without the onboard SD card. When I flash the New Controller it recognizes the onboard controller SD Card and not the 2004 LCD Reprap...

Noticed you are using multiple passes of Blue tape . I have been using vinyl transfer paper tape, reason behind mentioning this is because it comes in many different widths. T1.jpg As you can see in this image one pass completely covers the Hot-Bed. Forgive the blurry image taken during Print. You m...

I have said this before though it deserves to be repeated. When flashing firmware for any 3D Printer make sure you have a backup for the unit being flashed. HICTOP firmware backups are located here Under Resources > Firmware then select your 3D Printer. As companies do go out of business download yo...

Today the Day will be Flashing Marlin's newest release 2.0.6 to both my 3D Printers. The Firmware is configured exactly the same for both with one exception "#define CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME " I loaded the Firmware on Blu and while test i found that the Bed Leveling has a new feature, It is als...

You have come to the right 3D Printer Forum, as we have been helping all Hictop users get there 3D Printers working like a Swiss clock. Sorry a perfectly tuned 3D Printer capable of 3D Printing models perfectly that some of the more expensive 3D Printer users cannot 3D Print. Now this sounds exactly...

All you have to do is post what you are having problems with, I will look at every post on this forum. Though My strongest experience is with the Hictop 3D Printers. I stopped using the SN04-N. I started using this TL-W3MC2 because could mount it 20mm directly behind the nozzle. All STL file I have ...

Well if it was smart enough to detect that a new firmware was present.
Why does it not have a single Reload button to reload and save the new Firmware's configuration.

Still Have to send M502 and M500

SD cards need to be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. Most PCs default to EXFAT or NTFS.

I use only SD card format programs to ensure compatibility.
SDFormatter v4
Rufus

Today I configured Marlin 2.0.6 for my Hictop 3DP11 and 3DP12 3D Printers. Original #define FIL_RUNOUT_INVERTING True Compling set the state of changed variable to HIGH. #define FIL_RUNOUT_STATE HIGH Original #define Z_SAFE_HOMING_X_POINT ((X_BED_SIZE) / 2) // X point for Z homing when homing all ax...

Have you seen this information reality Ender-3/Ender-3 Pro 8-bit Motherboard to 32-bit Motherboard Notification

Today it is again time to replace the moisture Eliminator, or risk my filament going bad...

I was checking and found today the moisture Eliminators were again in need of replacement.

Yesterday I was trying to Level my Bed on my Marlin 2.0.3 only to find that one of my 3D Printers firmware was incorrectly configured. Yes I had made a mistake in configuring the Bi-linear Bed leveling. I have been using the 3D Printer with this firmware perfectly and have never noticed that the bed...
