Prusa i3 Marlin Settings?
September 26, 2013 11:07AM
Hi, ive nearly finished making my Prusa i3 based on the Einstein version and im trying to work out what settings i need to change in the marlin firmware. Is there a firmware available specially for the i3 or do i have to set everything from scratch? im using ramps 1.4 with gt2 belt with a 20 tooth pulley and M5 rods for the z axis, nema 17 motors with 1.8 degree steppers and 1/16 microstepping. so far, using the calculator i come up with the settings of 80.00,80.00,4000.00,7601.1. does this seem right? i havent done anything with the extruder as ive opted to you direct drive with the mk7 drive gear and im unsure how to set it up in the firmware. Also i have the gadgets3d lcd with built in sd card but cant seem to get it working with the firmware. Any help with these or any of the other settings would be great. Kind regards

Thanks for your reply, are they the settings you use? the steps for example look like they havent been changed.Have you been able to print objects?

Yes, the steps have been changed, remember this is a diff, lines prefixed with (-) are removed and lines prefixed with (+) are added.

From:
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {78.7402,78.7402,200.0*8/3,760*1.1}

To:
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,4000,237}

Sir. This is sudeep from NIT KURUKSHETRA, INDIA... I have successfully assembled a prusa i3 with arduino ATMEGA 2560. But i am having problem with the marlin firmware. So it will be of great help if you send me a preconfigured marlin that will enable us to run the printer. The axes are moving but its not taking print comand.
