This package contains:
All of the circuit board required all 3D printers, including MKS mega2560, ramps1.4 and 4 A4988 stepper motor driver board, are welded and the test.
How to use:
1, need to use a module or device:
MKS Mega2560 control board (the package contains): This is the 3D printer of the brain, is responsible for the control of the printer to complete certain actions, such as print specific documents etc.;
RAMPS1.4 (the package contains): This is the development board above the main control board, it is in order to better connect with other hardware and control, plays the role of a bridge transition;
A4988 stepper motor driver board (the kit contains): This is used to connect the stepper motor control board, so as to realize the control of stepper motor, XYZ and extruder action;
4 ~ 5 stepper motor (the kit does not include): This is the dynamic part of the 3D printer, driven by the A4988 control board, the motor is connected to the RAMPS1.4 board;
The heating head (not included): the heating head is used for melting of printed material (ABS, PLA), the general heating head has two electrical components, an electric heating wire is electrified for heating, similar to the electric furnace, the other is a thermistor, used to obtain the temperature of the heating head is how much, in order to achieve better temperature control, because the firmware (Marlin:https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/tree/Marlin_v1) to obtain the temperature after the success for many operations, so even a simple test also need to connect the two thermistor (another to get a hot bed temperature), so I will send two thermistors for you;
Hot bed (heatbed) (not included): ABS in print, in order to make the invariant and the first layer tend to stick to the platform, the general solution is to use hot bed, hot bed also includes two parts, heating part and a thermistor, wherein the thermistor is required;
12V power supply (not included): in order to be able to drive motor and circuit board, you need to supply yourself with a 12V 100W to about 200W.
The above parts are necessary parts of circuit connection part, if the lack of a corresponding, will not be part of the test.
Other non essential, including 12V fan and at least 3 limit switch (if not does not affect the circuit board test, but will affect the use of the printer, if you set the printer, it is necessary, especially the limit switch).
2, ready to work:
Before the start of the connection and testing, you need some necessary software:
Arduino IDE, used to be transmitted to the main control board firmware tools, download address: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software;
The firmware (Marlin), which is the main control board is required to execute the program, which is transmitted to the main control board, download address: https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/tree/Marlin_v1, transmission method: open Arduino IDE, select the menu Tools – > Board – > Arduino Mega 2560, and then select the serial Tools ->Serial Port – > the corresponding serial port, click to compile and download board. That the corresponding reference firmware inside, the most important is the configuration board type RAMPS1.4 (found in the Configuration.h file for the #define MOTHERBOARD 33 [] here must be changed to 33), the other can temporarily default;
* PC software: printrun:http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/ download and install the corresponding version;
The above is the need to use the software, the first one is often used when you need to configure the parameters, if the parameter is determined, is rarely used anymore, the third is the printer control software, usually will use print.
3, burning firmware:
* edit and upload the firmware to the main control board:
The main control board is connected to the computer through the USB power supply, the main control board exhibit of lanterns lit.
Open the main file to download the firmware files in Arduino IDE (Marlin.pde), after opening, chosen by TAB to the Configuration.h file, and find:
#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
A digital #define MOTHERBOARD
#endif
To modify:
#ifndef MOTHERBOARD
#define MOTHERBOARD 33
#endif
These parameters can be temporarily modified. Then select the menu Tools – > Board – > Arduino Mega 2560, and ->Serial serial port Tools Port – > corresponding serial port (usually the reciprocal of the first wrong, you can try several times other), click the right arrow on the IDE (-) icon, upload the firmware, if installed above steps down should not be a mistake. And you can see the main control board on another LED exhibit of lanterns non-stop flash, which is uploaded by waiting can be completed.
4, connecting other circuit board and test:
Disconnect the USB cable, the RAMPS1.4 board connected to the main control class, do not pay attention to connection error, RAMPS on the back of the pin should be connected to the main control board of.
Then connect the two thermistors corresponding to the position of the first board, at this time, open the printrun software (above third software), serial port (usually the last), set the baud rate (250000). Click on the link if normal, right there will be a successful connection hint text, and the following buttons will be used normally.
Through the printrun software on the “check temp” (read the temperature), can get two of the thermistor temperature, because the thermistor is directly connected, so the temperature reading should be close to your room, if the read value is 0, all connection error, please check.
Although not connected to the heating head and the hot bed, but can be a simple test, first connect the 12V power, and then set the heating bed and the heating head temperature were 230 and 110, there were two red LED will have light board, which indicates that this part of the circuit is normal, can be turned off. Then the lower right corner of the input command: send M106 S255, to open the fan control, the other a red LED will light, send input: M107 can turn off.
Disconnect the power supply, the A4988 driver board access RAMPS board, pay attention to the correct direction or not, or else it may burn the board, you can refer to my photos. There should be at least one motor test, the motor connection should be connected as shown below, the red blue green yellow in order to connect, connect, connect the power supply, the printrun can try to let the motor move, for example, you will be connected to the X motor shaft, motor shaft motor +10mm X the motor will rotate, -10mm, click, the motor will reverse. The same can test the YZ axis (should change the broken power motor). The extruder motor when the temperature is not reached when can not be tested, you can be the A4988 driver installed to test XY or Z axis, in order to ensure the normal drive.
If the above test is no problem, indicating that the main circuit is no problem, the rest is put up your 3D printer assembly.
Connection detection method:

1.4 firmware — Marlin
The firmware is installed on the mega2560 board software, a powerful Marlin is a good choice.
Download address: https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/archive/Marlin_v1.zip
Download unpacked, all files in Marlin folder is the firmware source code, found inside the PDE or ino file with IDE software can open.
2, install the driver
The MAC and Linux systems do not need a mega 2560 installation specific driver, plug in the USB can be used, because the mega 2560 board is actually USB serial, so after the plug if normal, will have a serial out.
Install the driver 2.1 windows operating system
When you install Arduino IDE, came to the IDE directory, there is a
Driver
The folder, go looking for
Mega2560 R3
The words of the INF file, if not, the directory should have a compressed file, after decompression can find this file, right click to install on it. This is inserted on the mega2560 board, the equipment should be identified.
3, tools and accessories
DIY 3D printer without the necessary tools, is almost impossible, of course, necessary accessories is a must.
3.1 commonly used tools
In the test suite or install 3D printer, may use the tools including, screwdriver, pliers, crimping pliers, electric iron, tweezers, Piankou, pliers, high temperature tape etc..
Supporting 4
3.2 accessories
A complete 3D printer is composed of dozens or even hundreds of parts assembled. If you want to complete the test or a printer, you should have the following parts:
– 3D printer master suite: mainly contains a 2560 Mega main control board, a RAMPS1.4 extension boards and 4 4988 stepper motor driver board;
12V – 200W: 12V for providing a voltage switching power supply, ATX power supply can be used on the computer, but when wiring should pay attention to;
2 – 100k NTC thermistor: in order to realize the control of the heating head plate and heating bed temperature control, there are two temperature sensors, the most convenient way to NTC thermistor, 100k resistance is a good choice (most directly support firmware);
– at least a two-phase four wire stepper motor: if you only need a simple test, the stepper motor can be completed in the test, if you want to form a product, you need 4 to 5 stepper motor, Z axis according to the mechanical structure of some different by two motor driving. Motor models need to choose according to your own situation, general common 42 motor can do, need to pay attention to is the 4988 largest driving current support is 2A;
– at least one limit switch: the limit switch is a printer used to identify the important position of the sensors, to form a complete printer requires at least 3 limit to help determine the origin position of the printer, the limit switch can be of many types, mechanical, optical, magnetic (Holzer);
12V heating tube: if your machine is FDM (thermal printer), so the heating pipe is almost a must, used in the heating head, can choose 12V 40W heating tube. If you are testing the main control board is normal, do not need to, because the ramps board LED lights, know whether in electricity;
– 12V: fan for cooling fan, there is not much need to explain, note that the negative pole must be connected to the fan, otherwise it will not turn, can also be judged whether work just by LED indicator;
12V PCB: in order to make the heating bed plate printing material more easy to stick in the print on the platform, and to prevent the cooling deformation (mainly ABS), if PLA printing materials, the board may not be required, if the test can also be indicated only by led;
4, ready to start
If you have the above software and hardware are ready, then you can enter the next link.
Two, upload firmware and firmware configuration
Mega 2560 board in 3D printer is equivalent to the brain, which control all the 3D printing accessories to complete the print job is complex, but mega2560 cannot be used directly, need to upload firmware (upload) (Firmware) can be used.
1, download the firmware — Marlin, the powerful function of Marlin firmware and easy to use, so here only introduce the Marlin firmware.
2, the firmware configuration parameters
The following is the need to configure the parameters. No mention of the default parameters.
#define BAUDRATE 250000
This is the configuration of the PC serial baud rate, only the baud rate and baud rate to the same firmware can communication success, will need to pay attention to. Of course, also cannot change, common baud rate: 24009600192003840057600115200250000. The 3D printer is widely used in the 3.
#define MOTHERBOARD 33
This parameter is of type 3D printer configuration board, main control board type very much, each board IO configuration is not the same, so this parameter must be the same with your own board type, otherwise not normal use. My board is the RAMPS1.4 version, the corresponding configuration (configuration should be 33 and 34, a single print head) (configuration doubles India). If you are using other board, please refer to the note next to and select the appropriate configuration.
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 3
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 3
This type of configuration of the two parameters were temperature sensor. It is important to read the temperature parameters are normal, if not normal to read the temperature will not work even with great potential danger (burning device). If you use other temperature sensors need to change according to their own circumstances.
#define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 170
This parameter is not in order to prevent temperature
Two, upload firmware and firmware configuration
Mega 2560 board in 3D printer is equivalent to the brain, which control all the 3D printing accessories to complete the print job is complex, but mega2560 cannot be used directly, need to upload firmware (upload) (Firmware) can be used.
1, download the firmware — Marlin, the powerful function of Marlin firmware and easy to use, so here only introduce the Marlin firmware.
2, the firmware configuration parameters
The following is the need to configure the parameters. No mention of the default parameters.
#define BAUDRATE 250000
This is the configuration of the PC serial baud rate, only the baud rate and baud rate to the same firmware can communication success, will need to pay attention to. Of course, also cannot change, common baud rate: 24009600192003840057600115200250000. The 3D printer is widely used in the 3.
#define MOTHERBOARD 33
This parameter is of type 3D printer configuration board, main control board type very much, each board IO configuration is not the same, so this parameter must be the same with your own board type, otherwise not normal use. My board is the RAMPS1.4 version, the corresponding configuration (configuration should be 33 and 34, a single print head) (configuration doubles India). If you are using other board, please refer to the note next to and select the appropriate configuration.
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 3
#define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 3
This type of configuration of the two parameters were temperature sensor. It is important to read the temperature parameters are normal, if not normal to read the temperature will not work even with great potential danger (burning device). If you use other temperature sensors need to change according to their own circumstances.
#define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 170
This parameter is the potential risks in order to prevent the temperature does not reach the extrusion operation, if you do other 3D printer, such as a friend to do chocolate printer, extrusion temperature only 45 degrees, then this parameter needs to be configured to lower value, such as 40 degrees.
Const bool X_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;
Const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;
Const bool Z_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;
Here is the three parameter configuration of 3 axis type limit switch, limit switch configuration for the true, the default output is 1, triggering state output for the 0, is also the mechanical limit should be connected with normally open scripts. If you are connected with a normally closed piece, will be changed to false true.
#define INVERT_X_DIR false
#define INVERT_Y_DIR true
These two parameters are relatively easy to mistake. According to the type of mechanical barrier, the two configuration is not the same. But the principle is to ensure that the origin of the print platform should be in the lower left corner (origin position [0,0]), or the upper right corner (the origin position is [max, max]). This print only model is correct, otherwise it will be a mirror axis caused by the wrong location model.
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1
If the origin position of a minimum value for the parameter is -1, if the origin position is the maximum value allocation is 1
#define X_MAX_POS 205
#define X_MIN_POS 0
#define Y_MAX_POS 205
#define Y_MIN_POS 0
#define Z_MAX_POS 200
#define Z_MIN_POS 0
This parameter is important to configure print size, coordinate map reference to fill out the above, there is a need to explain the origin of coordinates is not print center, real printing center in general [(x.max-x.min) /2, (y.max-y.min) /2] position. Coordinate the center position of the need to use the tools in the back section, the print center coordinates should match the parameter configuration here, otherwise it may be printed onto the platform outside.
#define HOMING_FEEDRATE {50*60, 50*60, 4*60, 0}
Rate allocation back to the origin, in millimeters per minute, if you are using the XY axis synchronous belt transmission, Z axis screw drive, this parameter can use the default value.
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {85.3333, 85.33332560158.8308}
This parameter is the most important parameter is the correct size of the printer, the meaning of parameters for running the 1mm axes required pulse number, corresponding to x, y, Z, e four axis. In most cases, this number can be calculated to. You can refer to the http://calculator.josefprusa.cz/#steppers
So far, the most commonly used parameters are configured, you can start using. If the 2004LCD board also need to change
//#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
In front of the will
/ /
Delete can be used normally.
3, upload the firmware
