Home made printer. Need help with select model at setup?



  • I'm new with 3D printing. I have built me a own based on RAMPS 1.4 + Mega2560+ A4988. I think I going to use Marlin or Sprinter as firmware.

    - What firmware do you recomend when using MatterControl?

    - When you set upp MatterControl on my printer, what model of printer I'm going to select in the beginning of the setup?

    - Some thing else I need to think about?

    Marlin or Sprinter should be fine. Any firmware which supports G-Code commands as found in this article should work: http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code
    Repetier is another good one.

    Make: Other
    Model: Other

    Then navigate to Settings & Controls -> SETTINGS and edit the following slice settings to match the specifications of your printer: http://wiki.mattercontrol.com/Custom_Printer_Profiles#Edit_printer_settings

    If you follow the whole guide on the page I just linked to you can create your own custom profile so you can just select it using the menus next time.
