OK @ThantiK , I just installed Marlin from Sprinter. My version of Sprinter had acceleration, not sure how well it worked though. But the EEPROM accessibility is worth the price of admission alone. Was moderately painless, only forgot to flip the polarity of my Z, so had a REALLY loud homing in the wrong direction. Aside from that, everything’s turning up Milhouse!
AHM TELLIN’ YA!
Try out the auto PID tuning for your bed! The bed can flex a little as the heat rises and falls, if you PID tune the bed, you can get even better prints than before. EEPROM, auto-bed leveling, remote camera support…marlin is the bomb.
@ThantiK , can you elaborate on the pid bed thing?, now im using bang bang and i get 1c max temp variation.
@Nicolas_Arias You can change the bed to use PID in configuration.h and then use : M303 E-1 S60 C8, where S is the desired bed temperature and C is the number of tuning cycles. The resulting PID values then need to be saved to your configuration.h and flashed to your arduino.
@Tim_Rastall yeah, i know how to use pid :D, @ThantiK said that using PID for the bed can impact (for better) on print quality, i cant imagine why it would be like that, given that, in my case, i get 1c temp variation max.
I don’t think I can do pid bed temp on a Sanguinololu, not sure why but I think I read that somewhere
@Nicolas_Arias Ah, sorry, no intent to patronise. From my experience I got better bed adhesion with bed PID as even a 1 degree swing causes very slight thermal expansion/contraction which (when repeated many times during a print) seems to cause prints to loosen, for me at least.
