    • First things first: you're going to need a copy of RepRap Firmware.

    • Either download a fresh version from GitHub, or edit your existing one.

    • You can edit your existing firmware either through the online configuration tool, or through G-Code.

    • If you download a fresh version of firmware you'll have to configure more settings than the ones mentioned in this guide so that it will work well with your printer.

    • Use M563

    • Online Editing:

    • Go to the Motors tab and set the number of extruder drives to 2.

    • Go to the Heaters tab and set the number of nozzle heaters to 1.

    • Go to the Tools tab and assign your tools so that each tool has one extruder (motor) and shares a heater.

  4. Manual Editing: For firmware versions 1.16 and earlier, send the folowing G-Code commands to your printer: M305 P1 B4388 and M305 P2 B4388 For firmware versions 1.17 and later, send the following command instead: M305 P1 B4725 C7.060000e-8 and M305 P2 B4725 C7.060000e-8

    • Manual Editing:

    • For firmware versions 1.16 and earlier, send the folowing G-Code commands to your printer: M305 P1 B4388 and M305 P2 B4388

    • For firmware versions 1.17 and later, send the following command instead: M305 P1 B4725 C7.060000e-8 and M305 P2 B4725 C7.060000e-8

    • Online Tool:

    • Click on the Calculate Thermistor Coefficients button in the Heaters tab, and select Semitec 104-GT2 (used by E3D) from the drop-down menu. Do this for both HotEnds (E0 and E1)

    Edit

  5. Manual editing:

    • Manual editing:

    • Update your maximum temperature by sending the following G-Code command to your printer: M143 S285

    • While the V6's metal componants can handle very high temperatures, the included thermistor cartridge will strugle with temperatures over 285°C (if you want to go higher, get a PT100).

    • Online Editing:

    • Update your maximum temperature by going to the heaters tab and changing the option to 285.

    Edit

    • Simply restart your printer for your new values to come into effect.

    • If you're unsure of how to update your printer's firmware, check with its manufacturer.
