[How to build marlin firmware with makefile?]

Dears,

I want to build marlin firmware with makefile, and I have installed Arduino 1.5.2 and the install path is G:/software.

Then I changed makefile as below:

# This defined the board you are compiling for (see Configuration.h for the options)

HARDWARE_MOTHERBOARD ?= 72

 

# Arduino source install directory, and version number

ARDUINO_INSTALL_DIR ?= G:/software/arduino-1.5.2-windows/arduino-1.5.2

ARDUINO_VERSION ?= 152

 

# You can optionally set a path to the avr-gcc tools. Requires a trailing slash. (ex: /usr/local/avr-gcc/bin)

AVR_TOOLS_PATH ?= G:/software/arduino-1.5.2-windows/arduino-1.5.2/hardware/tools/avr/bin/

 

After changed the makefile, from a command prompt, I change into Marlin directory, and then type 'make', it shows below error:

G:\Marlin>make

make: *** No rule to make target `G:/Marlin/applet/wiring.o', neede

d by `G:/Marlin/applet/Marlin.elf'. Stop.

 

Very appreciated if any help~

PS: Actually, I am not sure about the arduino version :152

 

 

[How to configure cura parameters to print eiffel tower?]

Hello gr5,

Very appreciated for sharing your experience in printing the tower.

I use UM2 to print such thing and the cura version is 14.06.

As you said, the scale is very critical. Firstly ,I try to print without scaling up and I found it difficult to finish the first arche.

Then I scaled the model up to 1.5 times, that is about 7.1 inches tall, and I can print the tower to the second arche.

But it is difficult to continue~

Now, I will try it again by scaling up the model more and with 100% fan speed~

BTW, you said "In 3 pieces" , what does that mean? detach the model with 3 seperated parts?

Dears

Anyone knows the better parameter settings for cura to print eiffel tower?

how to set shell thickness, fill, retraction, speed...

Below link is the stl model

[How to develop my own version of Cura?]

Dear gr5,

I just want to edit the gui, add some buttons or something else to control the UM2 more convenient or show more printing messages of 3D printer...And you are right, I just need to edit py files, need to change C++ engine

 

[How to develop my own version of Cura?]

Dear nallath,

You are right~

I just have some experience with C, and know a little with C++, totally new hand for python.

I admit that my question is too basic :-P

I think I should learn more necessary skills before changing cura source code...

However, very appreciated for your answer :-P

 

[How to develop my own version of Cura?]

Dear Daid,

I am familiar with c/c++, but new hand for python :-| , and I just want to know some principle of cura~

My understanding is Cura-SteamEngine is just a python GUI and I should combine it with CuraEngine-master.

is that right? thank you!

 

[How to develop my own version of Cura?]

Dears,

I want to do some modifications on cura and I installed wxpython.

Then I download Cura-SteamEngine from github and unzip it.

But when I run cura.py, error shows:

ImportError: No module named Cura.util

how can I solve this problem?

Very appreciated if any sopport~

 

[How to 3D print with cura on UM2?]

Yes, Robert, you are right :-P

I tried to use pronterface to control UM2 this afternoon, and it still work

 

[How to 3D print with cura on UM2?]

Thank Didier and Dim3nsineer for quick answer~

However, I think it amazing if we can control a 3D printer with a friendly user interface like fronterface.

Also I think it convenient to solve some issues by moving XYZ axis a little, preheating, changing temperature, extruding though pronterface. But we can only print with cura... :-|

And I think it great if wifi function can be integrated in 3D printer :-P

 

[How to 3D print with cura on UM2?]

Hello everyone~

Can I 3D print with cura on UM2 ?

I mean if I can control UM2 for 3D printing with cura directly though usb just like pronterface, not from SD card

Anyone knows? thank you!
