Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

So, using a downloaded copy of the Marlin 2 files you shared with me, I changed the DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,94.4962144} for my axis, then tried to compile using the Arduino software to get a .hex file. Instead, I keep getting a compile error. I am not real familiar with this Arduino ...

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

On your Google Drive site, which of the five listed firmware files do you recommend that I use? Also, thank you for the .stl files for the accessories!

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

Hello again! I managed to add strain relief for the motor wire bundle with a printed part and I printed the auto sensor leveling mechanism. Thanks for the tips that have helped me get this far! I modified the firmware with the information you provided and reloaded the folder to Google Drive. I "...

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

After a few hiccups, I have Octopi up and running on the 3DP08. Thanks again for your comments and encouragement. I next plan to print the adjustable holder for the sensor and try the revised firmware.

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

One other question: Is it possible to drive the 3DP08 with Octopi?

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

After more hours of troubleshooting frustration than I care to mention, I found that one of the female wire connectors at the motor was partly loose. When the wire bundle was strained the connection would open and the extruder stopped. Once the extrude moved to the left on the x-axis, the line would...

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

Thank you . . . I will look at the configuration in the firmware, but I have conducted all of my tests at
>180C, so I think that is not the issue. Once I have this resolved, I'll print the spring-loaded sensor mount. . .looking forward to it. Thanks for the encouragement!

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

Thanks again sir - you are a true subject matter expert! I am currently trying to troubleshoot an extruder that is not advancing filament. The motor works (confirmed by driving it at another axis) and when I try to extrude from the LCD I can hear the motor trying to pulse but there is no shaft rotat...

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

Great idea! Thanks for sharing the thumb screw mount. I'll print one once I am back up and running! Do the x,y,z offsets you provided in your earlier post reflect a direct mount of the SNO4-N or does it represent the offset while using the thumb screw mount? Also, the modified .ino file name (from t...

Re: Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

Thank you sir, for your quick and very thorough response! I was not able to get a response from HICTOP that I could make work. It will take me a little time to digest and implement your recommendations but I will begin that uphill climb immediately! Yes, I do have the SNO4-N (https://www.hic3dprinte...

Firmware for HICTOP 3DP08

Greetings! I hope you can help me with a few 3D printer issues I've run into on a steep learning curve! 1. I received a HICTOP 3DP08 a few years ago and finally got it assembled. It worked with the original firmware, but I elected to download the updated firmware and had problems immediately. By fol...
