Firmware

Arduino IDE

  • Open up Arduino IDE. If not using OSE Linux, download Arduino IDE v1.6.8 (tested, not new version. Do not use the newest versions. which have not been tested)
  • Upload firmware from section above - after connecting USB B Connector to RAMPS controller
  • Firmware includes geometrical properties of the 3D printer - such as settings for the print bed size, location of probe, location of endstops, etc.
  • Select Arduino Mega from Tools/Board. Select appropriate USB port from Tools/Port.
  • After software is done uploading, quit out of Arduino IDE and open up Cura

Cura

Changing the Geometry in D3D Marlin

  • To select bed size and motion area - line number _______
  • To select location of sensor - line number ______ -
  • To select probing type - select 3-point in line number __________
  • To select different thermistors - line number __________ - standard thermistors are 100k

Known Error Messages and Solutions

  • Arduino IDE - If you get a COM1 error in the Arduino monotor when trying to upload to the Arduino microcontroller - go to Tools/Port and select the correst USB port.
