Introduction

The configurator is the solution to the typical configuration hell when information technology comes to creating or updating a new firmware for your 3d printer. While the wanted values are quite simple, many users get lost in the different options and when they demand to be ready. In this configurator we try to hide all information and settings that are non relevant for your printer, based on previous answers. For that reason work yourself through the meridian menus from left to right and answer the questions from top to bottom.

This is the latest stable version. You can likewise use the older version 0.91 or the evolution version with all fixes and improvements for the next major release.
Switch to 0.91

Switch to 1.0.x

Upload old configuration

If you lot have already made a configuration - including older versions - you can upload the Configuration.h or config.json file to ready all options to that settings. If you choose the Configuration.h, the settings are taken from the embedded json cord. All changes in the normal office are lost. New parameter are highlighted like this:

Attention! Only config files generated by this configuration tool can be uploaded!


If you enable eeprom, you can change the most important parameter subsequently installation over the host. Please be enlightened that the eeprom values overwrite settings in Configuration.h! To overwrite exiting settings select a different eeprom set.


If you intend to utilize the printer from a linux pc, select a ansi baud rate.

Z-correction (distortion correction)

Sometimes information technology is hard to calibrate your delta printer in such a mode that the bed is even - even if it is fifty-fifty. The nonlinearities and build errors can make information technology a bump map when measured, making it difficult to stick filament everywhere. In this example y'all can now utilise the the Z-correction. But be warned, to use it only after yous have done your best to calibrate your printer! It will not remove these errors, it volition but removed the effect on the first layers! Y'all can set from where to where you want the correction. You should start after the heighest first layer you want to print and stop a few layers higher. These corrections need extra computation cost, so y'all should limit them to an area where necessary.

Storing correction information in eeprom reduces RAM usage and it too eliminate sthe need to recalibrate after each restart.

If you lot extrapolate outer corners, you can increase your correction radius a bit.

This is the distance, that the extruder will have to endstops after homing is finished. Use this if yous want to forbid triggering when you are nearly endstops or for delta printers to go a flake lower, so you tin can select between extruders without hitting the endstop.

Pause treatment

Jam detection and out of filament detection

You can compare filament moves with extruder moves to detect if the extruder is jamming, the spool is knotted or if yous are running out of filament. Yous need a motion tracker, that changes a digital signal every x extrusion steps. There are three steps defined for signaling. Regular steps is what number of steps a complete on/off cycle of the signal should take. While debugging this is the reference for the percentage output. Adjacent stage is slowdown steps. When nosotros mensurate this step amount, we volition reduce speed multiplier to a lower factor. Then, when nosotros exceed the steps for jam detection we take a defined action - preferrably a pause giving the user a chance to fix the jam and continue press. See documentation for more informations.

Available tools

Annotation: FFF printing gets included equally presently as you ascertain extruders!

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

If the firmware is in laser mode, information technology tin control a laser output to cutting or engrave materials. Please employ this feature only if you know about safety and required protection. Lasers are dangerous and can hurt or make you blind!!!

The default laser driver only supports laser on and off. Here you control the eíntensity with your feedrate. For exchangeable diode lasers this is normally enough. If you need more command y'all can prepare the intensity in a range 0-255 with a custom extension to the driver. Meet driver.h and comments on how to extend the functions not invasive with our event organization.

If you have a laser - powder system you lot will similar your E override. If moves contain a increasing extruder position information technology will laser that move. With this trick you tin can employ existing fdm slicers to laser the output. Laser width is extrusion width.

Other tools may use M3 and M5 to enable/disable light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Hither G1/G2/G3 moves take light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation enabled and G0 moves accept it disables.

In any instance, laser only enables while moving. At the end of a move it gets automatically disabled.

CNC milling

If the firmware is in CNC fashion, it can control a manufacturing plant with M3/M4/M5. Information technology works similar to light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation style, simply mill keeps enabled during G0 moves and information technology allows setting rpm (only with event extension that supports this) and milling management. It too tin add a filibuster to wait for spindle to run on full speed.

Do non assign if you have direction control.

These commands get executed, when an extruder switch is allowable. First the deselect commands from the active extruder become executed, then the new extruder is selected and the select commands become executed. Separate multiple commands by "\north".

Temperature Tables

If you accept a datasheet for your thermistor, you lot will observe the values for T0/R0 (typical 25°C and 100000 Ohm) as well equally the beta in that location. Min and max temperature defaults should work for all thermistors. The resistors R1 and R2 depend on your printer controller board. All known boards use R1=0 and R2=4700 ohm, which is also what the precomputed tables assume. Be aware that the computation from these values is non every bit exact as tables derived from the datasheet resistances at diverse temperatures. Particularly for higher temperatures the drift gets stronger. You lot tin become more exact values in your operating range, when you lot have T0/R0 in that range and not at 25°C.

If y'all have a datasheet for your thermistor, y'all can build your own thermistor tabular array. To make it easy you lot can enter directly the temperatures and resistances from your datasheet. The adc values and modified temperature values are computed for you. All known boards utilize R1=0 and R2=4700 ohm, which is also what the precomputed tables presume. Practice not use also much values. 20 degree steps for unused temperatures and x° steps in of import ranges are enough. More values merely cost more computation time.

Centrality compensation

If your printer is not exactly square but is more similar a parallelogramm, yous tin utilise this to compensate the issue of printing squares similar parallelogramms. Set the parameter to and then tangens of the divergence from 90°„ when you print a square object. E.g. if yous angle is 91° enter tan(1) = 0.017. If error doubles y'all have the wrong sign. Always hard to say since the other bending is 89° in this example!

[-] = Tan of angle error

[-] = Tan of angle error

[-] = Tan of bending error

Bed Blanket

If yous switch between different bed coatings information technology can be handy to change the required start position with a simple variable. This is what bed coating does. It makes sure that a move to z=0 does include the bed coating thickness. The coating mode takes into account what a z-probe will mensurate and so current blanket setting is taken into account.

Probe positions 1-three are the points where the bed volition be tested. Make certain they have a good altitude and practise non lye on a line.

This is for cantilevered beds with a rotation centrality near middle. Information technology removes angle to both sides of the rotation axis by assuming symmetric bending to both sides. Points 2 and three define the rotation axis and measuring points for this centrality. Bespeak ane gets mirrored on that axis.

Probe positions 1-3 define a rectangluar area where we measure a north x n matrix of heights. From these heights we compute a regression plane that fits best through all points. The rectangle is computed as follows: Point 1 = rectangle origin, Side 1: Point 1 <-> Bespeak 2, Side 2: Bespeak 1 <-> Indicate 3

Nosotros use the computed rotation to compute a rotation matrix and solve the rotation on the software side. Moves in x and y direction volition so also move z motors to compensate for rotation.

If you have a bed with three point fixture where y'all can motility two points with a stepper motor, you can correct the tilt physically. For this to work y'all must define below the coordinates where the bed is fixed. Points ii and iii get controlled by the motor commuter one and 2 defined below. These can be the aforementioned pins equally used to drive the z centrality in case you have 3 z motors using z mirroring. Just enter the enable/direction/pace pins from these drivers. This correction is frequently not 100% correct, then yous can besides define how often to correct information technology. Correction will stop if gradient is less then 0.025 mm in ten and y direction.

Angle correction adds a value to a measured z-probe value. This may be required when the z probe needs some force to trigger and this bends the bed downwardly. Currently the correction values A/B/C correspond to z probe positions ane/ii/3. In subsequently versions a bending correction algorithm might be introduced to give information technology other meanings.

G10/G11 Retraction and Filament Change

This characteristic allows slicers to use the commands G10 and G11 for retracting and disengage retracts instead of adding the moves on their own. These parameters tin can be changed in EEPROM after. Autoretraction converts pure East moves into G10/G11. For that reason it is when enabled not possible to extrude with only E axis. So if yous want to use information technology, I would advise to enable/disable it with M209 S1 and M209 S0 in the slicers starting time and end thousand-code so information technology is normally disabled.

Filament modify allows to initaite a filament change procedure with M600 or the filament change control in the LCD interface. A LCD interface is required for this to work. Once initiated, the extruder will retract the short distance, motility up, motility to target x,y position and then practice the long retract. And so you lot must replace the filament and insert new one until plastic comes out of the nozzle. And then click the ok button of the printer. While changing, the rotary encoder will move the extruder. If non moving, motor gets disabled to make insertion/removal easier. So it goes dorsum to starting position and continues printing. Yous can add a homing before going to target position. This may help if you moved the extruder past accident.

Servo configuration

Servos can use whatever digital pin. PWM is not necessary! Please annotation that servos should take their own 5V source, not the ane used to power the board. Usage:
M340 P<servoId> Southward<pulseInUS> : servoID = 0..3, Servos are controlled by a pulse with normally between 500 and 2500 with 1500ms in center position. 0 turns servo off. Start position is attack power upwards. Values < 500 disable commencement position definition. Servos but go to kickoff position if information technology has power for servos during startup!

Actress Motor Commuter

For some special functions you may need to drive extra motors. Here you tin ascertain how to bulldoze the motors. Y'all can control them with G201 - G204, see Repetier.ino for more infos.
