Cura hangs on startup

$
0
0

I have been having trouble with Cura hanging on start up. so I turned in a ticket with Ultimaker ( I have one of the new S3 printers)
tech support gave me step by step instructions to solve the problem which deleted all the added profiles and settings which means I will nor be able to set up 3rd party filament. ( I can not go in and set Color, temp, exc.) I have to use only stock settings. Is Cura that bad or is it Ultimaker. I guess I will set up a profile for the printer In S3D and see if it is better software. I hate to do that with a new printer that is still under warranty but Cura is a PITA.

Thanks
Dale


instructions on how to ugrade Solidoodle 3 to Marlin 2.0.x on linux

$
0
0

took me quite a while to figure how to do it on linux (marlin 2 has temperature correction for extrusion speed and other great features to improve your prints ) i have also prepared the marlin 2.0.x configuration files - hope it helps somebody, so here it goes :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO PUT MARLIN 2.0.X on solidoodle3 with Solidoodle Motherboard Rev.e (or printrboard).

created on 04.03.2020 using Ubuntu 18.04 64 bits (but should work on any comparable linux).

TAKE CARE !!! It raises extruders temperature shutoff limit (it is now 275 C ), as well as limits in intentionally moving printhead against walls :-() (an unfixed yet configuration bug)

GETTING THE TOOLS TOGETHER

0. Extract contents of the attached file into a folder we call "solidupdate", extract everything else below, into the same folder, so the items make subfolders in the "solidupdate":

1. get arduino 1.8.12 from https://www.arduino.cc/download_handler … x64.tar.xz and extract into subfolder ardiuno_1.8.12_withTeensy
        (directly inside ardiuno_1.8.12_withTeensy should now be arduinos folders:  hardware, lib ,tools,... as well as the arduino binary and other files )

2. get https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_151/Teen … ll.linux64 from teensy, put an executable permission on it,then run it: ./TeensyduinoInstall.linux64
and install into the same ardiuno_1.8.12_withTeensy folder. (DO NOT INSTALL ANY LIBRARIES IT WANTS TO INSTALL: uncheck everything)

3. get the file https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/49-teensy.rules and save it into to the "solidupdate" folder as 49-teensy.rules
4. go to the "solidupdate" folder and to install the 49-teensy.rules file, run:
sudo cp 49-teensy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ 
afterwards  restart the system so it will restart the udev

5. get the bootloaderHid_cli from http://blog.lincomatic.com/wp-content/u … derHID.zip
end extract the content of the archive directly into BootloaderHid subfolder in the "solidupdate" folder

6. Now create a linux binary of bootloaderHid_cli by quickly compiling hid_bootloader_cli.c, to do so  go to BootloaderHID subfolder and run ./makebinary.sh

7.try running ./run_loader.sh to check it was created successfully

8. get marlin-2.0.x from https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin and extract into subfolder Marlin-2.0.x

9. copy files Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h from "solidupdate" folder over the according files inside Marlin-2.0.x/Marlin/

DONE!



FIRMWARE UPDATE

1. go to ardiuno_1.8.12_withTeensy subfolder and start arduino
2. load the sketch from  Marlin-2.0.x/Marlin folder
3. if you wish, adjust any of configuration.h and configuration_adv.h.but they are already adapted for solidoodle 3.  The rest of files is just stock marlin 2.0.x
4. in any case leave the board type as PRINTRBOARD in  configuration.h if you hve solidoodle motherboard rev.e, as it is already for Solidoodle Motherboard Rev. E
5. set arduinos output board to teensy++ 2.0  (the ++ is important or it will not compile,not just "teensy2.0"), and USB type:serial, speed: 16Mhz
6. compile with arduino and close the teensy popup window which pops up after successful compilation.
7. go the the temporary folder arduino generates to get the Marlin.ino.hex and copy it into the BootloaderHID folder back under "solidupdate"
8. put the programming jumper onto Printrboard(motherboard) of the printer, power up the printer, connect to computer, and press reset on the board (yes! there IS a small button there)
9.  go to BootloaderHID folder and run ./run_loader.sh and enter sudo's password, now you should see the programming progress
10.  after it finishes remove the jumper and press reset button on the motherboard again. thats it.

Solidoodle 4 LCD upgrade, Mainboard REV E

Currently have a SD4 and I want to add an LCD/SD control board to it, I have soldered pins to EXP1 on the board, but I am stumped by the firmware changes. Whenever I try to compile it I get the following error:   
 
Marlin_main.cpp: In function 'void process_commands()':
Marlin_main.cpp:881: error: 'BLEN_C' was not declared in this scope
Marlin_main.cpp:887: error: 'BLEN_C' was not declared in this scope


I would like to keep this board if possible, but I can't figure out what the issue is (maybe pin assignments?). A also found a modified version of the firmware for SD2/3's, but it seems to rely on an ATMEGA 1286, while my REV E has a AT90USB1286. I was able to compile this version for an ATMEGA 1286, but changing the board causes it to not compile. Here is the modified firmware:

Running XYZ printer in VirtualBox

Hi,
I searched the forum but wasn't able to find the answer.

I recently bought XYZ nano printer, which must be run from Windows. I don't have Windows and I don't want Windows, besides those made of glass. So naturally I tried VirtualBox to shield myself and my data as much as possible while still running XYZware. The problem is that my operating system  (Kubuntu) doesn't see anything connected to my usb, as if nothing is there. Therefore VirtualBox doesn't see it either.

Dual boot is not an option for me because I run HP notebook which does its hardest not to allow me grub.

I would rather not dedicate this computer to Windows as I only have one 64 bit machine available.
(I do have about 5 more notebooks and some Raspberries, but none other runs 64 bits nor is capable of handling my excessive Blender usage).

What can I do?
Thanks.

Da Vinci JR -> RAMPS 14

Hi,
Before anything else i'm sorry for my english because i'm a french student and for my personnal issues i'm converting my DA VINCI JR 1.0 printer to RAMPS.
After many times i didn't solve my problems;
When i'm trying to move the Z stepper motor or the X stepper motor, there are "shaking", anything move and it's causing a lot of noise.
For the moment, i reached the forum for a solution and i didn't find it...
Could you help me ? Thank's smile

I'm using Marlin V1.1.5

Upgrading Da Vinci Mini W+

I've got one of these machines, and I don't want to just throw it away.
I've seen a few discussions in the past here about changing out the board for a Ramps 1.4.

I saw the one guy The_Extruder who seemed to have some good ideas, but most of his links are dead, and it never seemed to get to the part about doing the work. just a bunch of discussion back and forth about the merits of his project.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to make this upgrade, so I don't add this piece of junk to the landfill? Seems like there's good parts, I can put to use, and have a decent printer from what people have been saying.

I am not an expert, but I'm not a novice either, so a little push in the right direction can probably get me all sorted out.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello to everyone

I am Panos a student mechanical engineer and i have develop a 3D Printer firmware which i would like to share with all the community.

Well due to the quarantine i found the time to further develop my firmware and the results are pretty impressive.

Features of the Host controller 3DHex firmware:
http://soliforum.com/i/?w78rsuN.png

-Curve detection algorithm with accel-decel (S-CURVE velocity profile) phase. All splitted to tiny lines curves by the slicer are
detected and the result is a very smooth motion.
-Real G02/G03 arc movements down to micrstepping accuracy with s-curve accel-decel
-Option to switching between trapezoid and scurve velocity profile
-Software correction of axis disalignments

You can find the source code on github and also download the setup.exe for a clean install. I have also attatched the setup.exe to this topic.
https://github.com/3DHexfw/3DHex

Also i have made an introduction video where i explain in depth what is going on behind the scenes

if you want to talk to me in personal you can send me on 3dhexfw@gmail.com

New build - problem getting hotend to heat

$

0

Hello,

I wasn't sure if this should go in Projects or Software & Firmware. Since i suspect it's a configuration issue, I'll try here first.

I'm somewhat new to 3D printers, but have built a CNC router before. I am in the process of completing a fairly large 3D printer. It uses the Azteeg X3 Pro printer controller. All of the axes are functioning, as well as the limit stops and extruder temperature. I cannot get the hotend to heat, and I suspect it's a problem with my configuration but have not been able to figure it out. When I use Repetier Host to try to manually heat the hotend, I get a decoupled error and nothing will work any more until reset/M999.

Here is my configuration.h file and my wiring of the Azteeg X3 Pro. Please excuse the rat's nest, I will do the wire management once things are working. Thanks

Best Firmware for "da Vinci mini w" for use with WLAN?

$
0
0

Hello

A couple of weeks ago, Modefreakz, told me the best Firmware for the "da Vinci mini w" is the Version 1.2.9

In his Database alle the Versions from 1.0.4 to 1.3.7 are listed.
https://my.hidrive.com/share/lf3olqvb3u … ini%20w%5D

After installing the 1.2.9 I recognized that this doesn't support WLAN. When I download to 1.1.9 the WLAN is back again, but it all has one issue.
The Tags registrated in the 3D Printer are not working anymore. It get error 0028_1 or it is display the following error (Your current filament has been temporarily suspended ?!?)
http://soliforum.com/i/?hRf179C.png
So at this moment I have only 2 virgin tags which I don't want to lose for an Upgrade/Downgrade test!

Has someone tested more of this Firmware files and can tell me which are working very well with USB & WLAN. The Issue with Firmware 1.3.9 is that I have error 0061 every second Print. This is very frustrated. XYZPrinting want to sell me a new Mainboard :-(

Because I have only a limit count of Tags I don't want to loose the connection the all my other tags.

I've looked everywhere and I cannot find a way to reset the firmware. When I connect the printer to my computer, no device is detected in the device manager (Windows). The pro doesn't seem to have the jumper pins like some of the other XYZPrinters.

Anycubic S firmware crash

Hi all,

I tried to update firmware from 1.2 to 1.5 from anycubic site. After update and restart I tried to align the bed, went to go to home menu and print head immediately went to the right, crashed into the right pillar and got stuck there while making a horrible screeching noise.

I did try reading up on knutwurst vs davidramiro / marlin etc, but I then I realized that I just don't have a spare life to invest into this thing.

While I do applaud all of you that successfully invested your time into 3D printing, I would very much appreciate a hint if it's even possible to flash this anycubic back to stock function, or if the micro step motor is already ruined.
