This guide is currently being written. Reload periodically to see the latest changes.

    • 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 RepRap Firmware you'll have to configure more settings than the ones mentioned in this guide so that it will work well with your printer.

  2. Manual Editing: For firmware versions 1.16 and earlier, send the folowing G-Code command to your printer: M305 P1 B4388

    • 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.

    Edit

  4. 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.
