Cl-260 printer improved firmware (Marlin RC8) by ForenSeil

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

EDIT: Please compile a later version yourself, younger versions are much better, this is only for reference.
Tons of more features, more hardware support improved acceleration values
For Cl-260 printer, RAMPS 1.4 and A4988 (standard for this printer) or TMC2100 drivers and standard display
If you get heating failures, buy a better PSU or run PID-Tuning ;)
How to flash:
-Extract .rar file. Don't rename "Marlin"-Folder.
-Download and install Arduino IDE (V1.6...)
-(disconnect any other printers)
-Connect printer via USB to your computer, open Arduino IDE
-Select "Mega 2560" for "Board" and "Processor" in the "Tools" tab
-Select the black marked PORT in the "Tools" Tab
-Open "Marlin.ino" with Arduino-IDE inside the "Marlin" folder from the archive you extracted
-Click on "Upload"
-That's it!
WARNING:
As the seller of the Cl-260 had made some small mistakes in his building guide or made changes in his firmware over the time, you might need to change motor direction or endstop position manually on the hardware (flipping motor cables on the board or putting the enstops on the other side).
Or you can do it by software::::
After opening the Marlin.ino go into the "Configuration.h" tab
Open search function (press Ctrl+F on your keyboard)
Search a few times for "invert" and you will find all the lines necessary for invertig motor and endstop directions, the you only thing you have to do is change value from "true" to "false" or other way round for the corresponding motors/endstops and then press on "Upload" again.
