3D Printing Forum

I cannot thank you enough for getting by 3D printer updated to the bed leveling of the 3BLTouch and working better than ever. I printed the Flexible Croc in ABS, and layered in 2 colors 4 times. Everybody is amazed how well it turned out. Just had to break off the brim, used a AquaNet spray on the b...

Thanks for the link. I am now .06mm, .05mm and .01mm (x,y,z resp) on a 20mm cube. Had a problem with cube orientation in Cura, got that fixed and it was easy. I have been working on manually adjusting the bed level from BLTouch mesh reading. Trying to determine how much my bed is warped. Will try ot...

I think I have a working printer with a BLTouch probe, with Marlin 2.0.9 version. Still want to fine tune to get better prints. I printed a 20MM test cube, I measured 19.99mm in Z, 20.48mm in X and 20.51mm. Is there a good way to correct the x and y overflow? I managed to put a JST Plug on the BLTou...

Using the mount from thingiverse, attached to the linier bearing. It does not work as good adjustable mount as I would like. I have it set at a 3mm difference from the nozzle. When I get the BLTouch working, I plan on doing my own design. Comparing the two Configure.h files, are you using a filament...

Please let me see your 1.1.9BF files, I want to compare them to my attempts. Maybe I can learn something.

Nice knowing you are there to help, in case or when I get lost.

What magic did you use to get it working! I have swapped the brown and red wires, I have a 3 pin white female connector to insert the into the D11 connector. First attempt load, the nozzle homed to the center of the bed. The probe did not deploy, z/nozzle started lowering and I cut power. Reviewing ...

OK, I am on hold for now. I have the new 2.09 marlin firmware working on my printer, without BLTouch. Waiting on how to make a BLTouch connections and working on a MPK V1 motherboard.

Little confused here, looking at where to connect BLTouch to 19 (Z+) or to D11. I have pins at D11. A11, A12 have no pins installed, D12 is partially covered with the D11 socket. What ever connector I use, is the addition of #define servo0 pin 19 or #define servo0 pin D11 //or is it just 11 all that...

I also sent a email to ANTCLAB requesting their assistance on the MPK V1 board. Looking in the changes necessary for in the Marlin/scr/pins file, to change the unused Z+ to a servo for the BLTouch. May need some help in getting that done, if I decide I have to go that way. Understand I will have to ...

Is the ground for the 3 pin connector near the edge of the board on the D11 connector.

I have search the forum and web. I found the MPK V1, but no instructions on where to connect the BLTouch. The Z- endstop is obvious, but with the 3 wire connector, I have at least 3 or 4 possible places and none are labeled with anything that I can decipher. Should I just get a new motherboard? If s...

I stated up front, that I was a NewBEE. But, thanks for your patience. I am a FIRM believer, in backups and saving working copies. I even have all my email backed up, since 1995, each year copied on 2 CD's or DVD's and a thumb drive and newer stuff on the cloud with idrive. Thanks for the advice, I ...

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! That did it!

I knew it was something I was missing. Never heard of init EEprom until that post. I now have movement when directing x,y,z,extruder steppers.

I now can test printer and work on getting the Bltouch to work.

recompiled, reinstalled, heated the extruder to 200. Tried moving X,Y,X axis from the LCD panel, nothing.

Thanks for all your help, I will try loading it from CURA, tomorrow. I am running out of ideas, and hair!

Just got back in from travel.

Edited the configuration_adv file, and loaded. Still not action when trying to move the axis's.

Here are the files, I edited, compiled and loaded.
