Code

Download code at D3D Marlin. You can upload to your board using the Arduino Environment.

Machine Control

You can download and install Lulzbot Cura to run D3D.


We have a configuration file that you can load in Cura. This sets the nozzle and speed parameters. These are the parameters that we need to optimize to get perfect prints.

Cura shows the control window only after you load a print file, such as the 10 mm Calibration Cube .stl file.

You need to set up the D3D Printer as a new machine. Go to the Machine menu, select Add new machine... Then select Other Printers:

Then select Other, then select Custom, then in the Custom RepRap information, give the machine a name such as D3D. Give a bed size of 110x110x110 for D3D Mini, and 200x200x200 for D3D. Nozzle size is 0.4 mm for printers from the April 29, 2017 D3D build. Check the Heated Bed box (some machines come without a heated bed).

We have created a printer profile for D3D for Cura. It works for both D3D and D3D Mini. When you open up Cura, go to the file menu -> Open Profile, and then load this file:

File:D3D Profile.ini
