Chip where did you get both the rods an the psu? PSU is in this hardware thread: http://www.3dprintingforum.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=184 Rods are from a machinist friend. Also, try to keep the hardware related questions in the appropriate category: http://www.3dprintingforum.us/viewforum.php?f=5...

[edited 11.12.16 : Changed link below to proper location for firmware for downloading Marlin - RC6] [edited 03.20.17 : Corrected improper original IDE version I used to compile - RC6] The question comes up a lot " how do I... " update my firmware? First you need to read how to update your ...

Have downloaded the latest Marlin source code located on Github mid last week. The files are from the latest versions from the RCBugFix source. Appears to be working fine on my HIC i3 at the current time; have noted no further improvements nor any printing or operational issues, so I will be stickin...

Glad your running. - The PID default values did not work well on my stock extruder setup. So I ran the auto-tune using Repetier Host and sending the proper G code as shown in that Configuration.h web link. It will run and when completed, just enter the PID values reported back into the Configuration...

Not sure what the problem is with Arduino software 1.6.9 When I double click the Marlin,ino that's all it opens. Strange, never heard of that one before. Have all the source in one folder and double click the Marlin.ico and nothing opens, or just the IDE with no source tabs? Have you tried just ope...

Calvin, You only double-click on the file that has the Arduino icon in the source file directory <Marlin.ico>, it should then load all the files into the IDE and display them as tabs at default. Which version of the IDE do you have? You should be using the latest 6.0x version. Also, I use 'Atom' as ...

Marlin 1.1.0-RC6-Bugfix has been downloaded from Github and is now compiled and running on my HIC I3.

- 20x20mm test cube finished and no issues found

Will update as soon as further testing is completed.

Chip, You have a link for the Japan bearings? I also got the firmware download. Once I get all my parts together I'll be running on the E3d V6. I know I'll need to adjust the firmware for this head but at least now I can get further in my upgrade. Calvin Calvin, let me look up the link as I got the...

Hi all, Just built a 3DP-11 as well. I'm being driven to distraction though. I stupidly flashed a different version of Marlin to it because the SD card wasn't working. Now it starts prints a couple of mm above the print bed. I've levelled it correctly etc, but I cannot get it to drop down. Has anyo...

Interesting, maybe you got some upgraded wire also? Seems impossible to get 11.6V at full load with 16AWG wire. Your PSU might be good, but when I was using the OEM 16AWG wire and the NEW PSU I got a .6 volt drop. Upgraded the to 12AWG and negligent voltage drop. Do the math, do you want 30 amps run...

Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad the firmware is working for a fellow HIC i3 user and that is good news! Makes all the work worth it when others are getting good results. As far as the couple of things you mentioned, yes it's been verified on my end. Baud Rate - I also noticed the change you menti...

Thank you Chip Luck. I'm sure when I get brave enough to start messing with the firmware I'll have more questions. But for right now I'm getting good results. The only thing I don't like is not being able to save the printer setting via the LCD. Try running the Repetier Host program hooked up via U...

That is the one I used.

Sounds like a new bed needed. Can't level something that is not square. EBay or Amazon.
