I have a Makibox with the 5DPrint D8 board, I’m trying to flash it with the Marlin firmware, but what am I doing wrong? When trying to compile Marlin to go onto the 5D Print D8 board, all I get is the following: Marlin.cpp.hex (too large!)

Thanks

I’d check that you’ve got the right AVR processor selected when compiling, I’d also knock out anything extra under Marlin that you can. Turn off things like the front panel, eeprom, etc to bring the image size down.

IIRC it is the same as the Printrboard.

@SirGeekALot Yes it is the same as the Printrboard

@ThantiK Unfortunately I have very little experience with Marlin

@The_Hozza Are you a member of the Makibox Users community? That is probably the best place for this question.

Yeah already asked there if it was possible to put Marlin on but I got little response to the hex being too large when I went back.

Marlin on d8 isn’t possible unless you make a ton of mods and take lots of stuff out. Not worth it. Just either use stock firmware or pickup a ramps and use that.

I’m willing to make the mods to Marlin to get it to fit, just don’t know what I can and can’t remove

You can delete the whole first part of marlin for delta and SCARA printers. And the z-probe part, the lcd area, and anything in config.h that is commented.
