RepRapFirmware dc42 branch config files

By SublimeLayers Wednesday, January 6, 2016
As per the comment request on my Current Rostock Max "ultimate configuration" post, here is my RepRapFirmware config.g file. Please note, I have15 tooth pulleys so my axis steps/mm are not compatible with the later and Rostock Max V1 and V2 20 tooth pulleys. Use 80.0 steps/mm as a starting point for these machines.  Also note that the MAC address and network parameters are unique to this printer and you will need to edit these for you config. I have a wifi bridge to my Duet that dictates the IP address, gateway and subnet mask.

config.g
; Configuration file for Rostock Max early V1
; Communication and general
M111 S0                             ; Debug off
M550 Pmaxie      ; Machine name and Netbios name (can be anything you like)
M551 Pmypassword                    ; Machine password (used for FTP)
M540 P0xBE:0xEF:0xDE:0xAD:0xFE:0xEE ; MAC Address
;*** Adjust the IP address and gateway in the following 2 lines to suit your network
M552 P192.168.1.211             ; IP address (0 = use DHCP)
M554 P192.168.1.210             ; Gateway
M553 P255.255.255.0                ; Netmask
M555 P2                             ; Set output to look like Marlin
G21                                 ; Work in millimetres
G90                                 ; Send absolute coordinates...
M83                                 ; ...but relative extruder moves
M575 P1 B57600 S1                   ; Set auxiliary serial port baud rate and require checksum (for PanelDue)
; Axis and motor configuration
M569 P0 S1     ; Drive 0 goes forwards
M569 P1 S1     ; Drive 1 goes forwards
M569 P2 S1     ; Drive 2 goes forwards
M569 P3 S0     ; Drive 3 (extruder) goes backwards
M569 P4 S1     ; Drive 4 goes forwards
M574 X2 Y2 Z2 S1     ; set endstop configuration (all endstops at high end, active high)
 
;*** The homed height is deliberately set too high in the following - you will adjust it during calibration
M665 R133.87 L269.0 B120 H341.92 X0.194 Y0.72 Z0.00    ; set delta radius, diagonal rod length, printable radius and homed height
M666 X-0.32 Y-0.09 Z0.41           ; put your endstop adjustments here, or let auto calibration find them
M92 X106.667 Y106.667 Z106.667 ; Set axis steps/mm
M906 X1000 Y1000 Z1000 E500 ; Set motor currents (mA)
M201 X1000 Y1000 Z1000 E1000 ; Accelerations (mm/s^2)
M203 X20000 Y20000 Z20000 E3600 ; Maximum speeds (mm/min)
M566 X1200 Y1200 Z1200 E1200 ; Maximum instant speed changes mm/minute
; Thermistors
;*** If you have a Duet board stickered "4.7K", change R1000 to R4700 to the following M305 commands
M305 P0 T100000 B4388 R1000 H-3 L475 ; Put your own H and/or L values here to set the bed thermistor ADC correction
M305 P1 T100000 B4388 R1000 H7 L470 ; Put your own H and/or L values here to set the first nozzle thermistor ADC correction
M305 P2 T100000 B4388 R1000 H7 L470 ; Put your own H and/or L values here to set the second nozzle thermistor ADC correction
M570 S180 ; Hot end may be a little slow to heat up so allow it 180 seconds
; PID
; Bed
M301 H0 P-1 ; negative P means use bang-bang control
; Heater 1
M301 H1 P20 I.027 D100 T1.1 S1 W300 B30
; Tool definitions
M563 P0 D0 H1                       ; Define tool 0
G10 P0 S0 R0                        ; Set tool 0 operating and standby temperatures
;*** If you have a dual-nozzle build, un-comment the next 2 lines
;M563 P1 D1 H2                      ; Define tool 1
;G10 P1 S0 R0                       ; Set tool 1 operating and standby temperatures
M92 E458.55:458.55 ; E478.63:478.63                  ; Set extruder steps per mm
; Z probe and compensation definition
;*** If you have an IR zprobe instead of a switch, change P4 to P1 in the following M558 command
M558 P4 X0 Y0 Z0 H3 ; Z probe is a switch and is not used for homing any axes
G31 X0 Y0 Z-.35        ; Set the zprobe height and threshold (put your own values here)
;*** If you are using axis compensation, put the figures in the following command
M556 S78 X0 Y0 Z0                   ; Axis compensation here
M208 S1 Z-0.2 ; set minimum Z
;
T0 ; select first hot end

  1. how did you calibrate your M305? i can heat up my hotend to 230° and in real it is like 180°...

  2. Gerhard, David Crocker has some information of the process on his web site here: https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/upgrading-the-mini-kossel-to-duet-electronics-part-2-software-and-commissioning/

    However, a better more accurate method that he alluded to is to use two high precision resistors (one for the high temp calibration and one for the low temp calibration). You can read about it here: http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?340,326029

    I bought a pack of each resistor from an eBay vendor. You need:

    one 100k 1% resistor
    one 220ohm 1% resistor

    This method works great and if you have more than 1 printer, they will all be dead-on calibrated with each other.

  3. thank you
    i am really sorry for questions that are allready answered somewhere.
    there are so much informations around the net... XD it is really hard to sort out the correct ones. i think you are a big help for many home makers with your patient answers :-).
    Im writing my bachelor-thesis right now about a food printer im developing right now, and some of your stuff will be definetly part of it (of course with sources ;-))

  4. Thank you Gerhard. Good luck with your thesis!

  5. did you ever achieve a good multi color print with the kraken?
    i just try to figure out how to set the nozzle offsets etc
