Background

There are 5 places where software may be configured when developing new versions of the OSE 3D Printer. The Cura used here is D3D Lulzbot Cura.

  1. Marlin - versions after April 23, 2018 work - File:OSE Marlin.zip
  2. Configuration file (.ini) in Cura - File:D3D Profile.ini. May 24, 2018 version.
  3. Start and end g-codes in Cura - contained in configuration file
  4. Machine Settings in Cura - contains bed size, z offset, number of extruders, presence of heated bed. And - E steps per mm of filament. This is the only place to set presence of heated bed.
  5. Print parameters in Cura - contained in configuration file -

Note also that EEPROM Settings may affect the way that the 3D printer works.

Notes

  1. Machine settings currently on OSE Linux v1.0 - heated bed needs to be turned on:

  1. Note that G Codes in the Cura interface do not appear to override the G Codes from Marlin. Does this have to do with EEPROM settings? How are EEPROM Settings relevant?

To Get Proper Prints with a New Extruder

  1. Verify e-steps for the extruder - and make sure Cura machine settings are consistent.
  2. Test extruder - so it's extruding correctly with Cura interface
