Today verified that the Firmware compiles with Arduino IDE it takes much longer to compile 2 min 30 sec vs 12 Sec I still Prefer using Visual Studio Code > PlatformIO > Marlin Auto Build Instructions for Install found here.  I do have windows 10 using Classic Shell on top of the Standard Windows 10 Menu, :Noted by Smiley face Orb. I downloaded newest Marlin 2 configured for my 3D Printers. 
Have not flashed as while configuring for my 3D Printer and skimming the code saw many new features I want to review first.

I decided to purchase my 3D Printer simply because the stock firmware makes this 3D Printer difficult to setup a working print.
Having much knowledge of Electronics, Computer Programming and mechanical repair could not pass up this deal.
Just purchased my 3rd obsolete Hictop 3DP12 3D Printer for yet again the cheapest price I have ever paid.
An Updated the Firmware to the Newest Marlin 2.0.9.3 making my 3D Printers even better an now almost idiot proof.
After installing this newest version of Marlin it has never been so easy to ready the printers for the next print.
Early this morning I have the same Marlin configuration on all three of my 3D Printers no testing is required.
Using Marlin 2.0.9.3 with Filament run-out on pin 19 Y-Max end-stop. attached are my final configurations.
FYI > I hard coded the Pins into Filament Run-out Section of Configuration.h for easy access. This includes Filament Run-Out Pin 19 and my Fan1 Pin 7.

It appears that that something has changed using Marlin 2.0.9.3 firmware. I have been 3D Printing this Nasa Wrench sliced in 25 Oct 2020 this is 496 days and it has printed perfect every time. A Few days ago I gave away my last Nasa Wrench not having any decided to reprint a few using my previously sliced G-Code. Well this is not going very well! every wrench printed looks perfect though none will work, the ratchet mechanism is frozen. Six wrecked Nasa wrenches later, two on each machine still no working wrenches. Decided to put on a 0.3 nozzle re-sliced an printing test Nasa wrench with a 0.3 nozzle.
Whoops should have tried a lower flow rate. Could also be the the Belts are loose and just need to be tightened
That's ok Still have the other two 3D Printers they also will not print a working Nasa Wrench. Will post again after I get a working Nasa Wrench. Will start testing with a smaller Articulating Model to save time an filament.

I got one to click only I broke off the 1/4 inch Stud trying. Have already used a working G-Code, sliced with Cura and Prusaslicer with no working results. May revert back to Marlin 1.1.9bf and slowly flash forward with Marlin 2.0.6.3 then Marlin 2.0.8 to see what happens. Unless someone has a better option.

If i remember correctly, there were quite a few changes between marlin 1 and marlin 2, to the point that my old Ender couldn't take marlin 2 on the 8 bit board, but when I changed to the Mini E3 board I was able to load...that transition is likely your culprit if you haven't sliced since marlin 1

I am sure that Marlin 2.0.6.3 printed this Nasa wrench maybe will just re-flash Marlin 2.0.6.3.

Finally got one to click,I reverted back to Marlin 1.1.9BF however the pin holding the ratchet locking finger (whatever it is called) is frozen top and bottom. This was sliced using Prusaslicer 2.4.0 with 0.3mm nozzle using 0.2 layer thickness with PLA @ 196C. This is still not working as designed and has a very loud click when turning 1/4 shank an harder to turn than the other Nasa wrenches printed. drive.google.com/file/d/1c5sVBx5nfMtg_gFVYStLazaRjHr75IJZ/view?usp=sharingUsed an knife to try to free the mechanism not much difference. Will try again with a .4mm nozzle an original G-Code from September 16, 2018. |
