-
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.
-
-
-
Flip the corresponding line in your
config.g
file fromS1
toS0
or vice versa:M569
-
You can also simply send the
M569
command through your favourite printer control software.
-
-
-
The next thing we'll have to update is your printer's E-steps-per-mm.
-
First, we'll start with a ball-park estimate of your E-steps-per-mm, and then we'll fine-tune it.
-
If you're using the standard Titan Slimline motor, start with
837 Steps-per-mm
-
-
-
Over USB Connection
-
Use a printer control software to connect to your printer. Send the command
M92 E<your number here>
to your printer. -
Then, send
M500
to store your settings -
Update your
config.g
file manually: -
Update the following line with your new number:
M92
.
-
-
-
Load filament into your extruder, just until it is gripped by the drive shaft (you can't pull it out without moving the large gear turning)
-
Mark your filament at the top of the idler arm or PTFE tubing with a pen or permanent marker .
-
Tell your printer to extrude 100mm of filament. Use your printer's LCD screen, or send it:
G92 E0
, thenG1 E100
via your printer control software. -
Mark your filament again at the top of your idler arm or PTFE tubing
-
Eject your filament.
-
-
-
With a ruler or calipers, measure the distance between the two marks on your filament.
-
If the distance wasn't exactly 100mm, use a proportion to calculate a more precise E-steps-per-mm value.
-
Enter that new value into your firmware or EEPROM as you did before.
-
-
-
Manual Editing:
-
For firmware versions 1.16 and earlier, send the folowing G-Code command to your printer:
M305 P1 B4388
-
For firmware versions 1.17 and later, send the following command instead:
M305 P1 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.
-
-
-
Manual editing:
-
Update your maximum temperature by sending the following G-Code command to your printer:
M143 S285
-
While the Titan Aero'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
.
-
-
-
Save the firmware to your SD card as you normally would. If you're having issues, check with your printer's manufacturer.
-
If you're unsure of how to update your printer's firmware, check with its manufacturer.
-
You're all done. Enjoy your new Titan!
