I my Marlin firmware I kept the original settings as foot notes. As this helped not having to research my original firmware settings with every question about now to set up the original Hictop 3DP printers. Taking a quick look back below No have not changed my setting by much anyway Marlin 1.1.1 #de...

Personally After I used ThinkerCad the next step was Fusion 360 Free for Hobbyist . With the number of individuals using Fusion 360 For personal use you can find a ton of information on YouTube. With no previous experience but using ThinkerCad I build the Model below by only watching YouTube Videos....

Try to sketch the model and post or post what you have

Is it something like this Hictop Logo.

You would have to post a Screen capture video for the forum to see why it could disappears.

Open Thinkercad, Click button "create new design"

Select Box Solid shape size to Length, width, and height.
Select Box hollow shape size to Length, width, and height.
Select both shapes align to center top and Group
Export and load with Cura.

No you just about have it.

Hello I found that when I could 3D Print a single model that this was the first model that was selected. Before I used the Z-Offset under the menu control to set my offset, thought you can use by Specifying Z offset in Marlin firmware. An adjusted the Proximity sensor height manually a real pain. if...

Those are the stock settings for the 3dp12 and worked before updating. After entering that 398 I still get the z axis moving to high at each layers.

How much too high!

Could you post a closeup photo of the Z-Axis Lead screws

Ive had the hardest time getting help with this printer so take your time and I appreciate whatever help you are able to give. Last night I tried to save to the EEProm (store settings) but the printer didn't want to comply. I installed chips 1.1.1r6 firmware and besides z axis needing to be reverse...

Spoke too soon, Windows 7 would not boot today. Cloning the Drive then I will do a chkdsk / scandisk to see what is going on. Could be hard drive failure, copying that data is a good way to have a backup I can see the data if it is loaded as D: Drive on windows 10. MiniTool Partition Wizard Free for...

OK!!!
Though the Google drive has the Stock configurations so it sould be compatible with out of the box 3DP08 - 3DP12

This is something that most do not do when flashing the firmware. You have to read the firmware and save the changes to EEprom. Connect you Computer via a USB cable using a terminal to your 3D Printer send the following commands. M502 ; read the firmware settings M500 ; save settings to EEprom HIcto...

Not too long ago I did my first wire feed welding, I succeeded in welding two pieces of metal together. However I popped sparks everywhere and welted divots of my New Auto Darkening Welding Helmet and lens. On A different note: A few days ago I had a windows 10 auto Update do a reboot scan disk whic...

Here are a few things you could try. 1. Scan model using a STL repair program, there are many programs and online STL repair programs. 2. Try a different slicer preferably a newer version on Cura and transfer your Profiles across. 3. Rotate the object 45 degrees and re-slicer, sometimes just changin...

Yeah Ive seen your posts but wasn't sure if I still needed to comment anything in or out. Also if my board is to old for the newer versions of marlin. I have used the Original controller's both the Base V1.3 and MPX.3 work with the same firmware up to Marlin 2.0.3. Have not configures or flashed a ...

I have posted all version of Marlin firmware that I have updated for my 3DP11 on many threads in 3D Printing Forum. But would post another link to my Marlin firmware again if needed. I have never added a BL Touch to the Marlin firmware though most likely someone has and we can get their input to hel...
