E3Dv6 on Solidoodle Press (Page 18 of 21)

For inverting the stepper direction, you would look for these entries in the configuration.h tab:

Change the true/false modifier for the stepper motor you want to reverse...then upload the sketch back to the press.

As far as 16 point leveling...truly see no need for it, in fact I'm not a fan of using software/firmware to compensate for a mechanical issue that can be addressed by a manual fix as pointed out by Wardjr above.  However, it looks like these entries in configuration.h are used to define the probing grid:

Not having done this, I can't really advise you further with any expertise...

EDIT:  Apparently, there is another way to do this on the Press:

it seems as though after I flash the board it is reading the temperatures wrong, I did a print at 280, which is when it just started melting my ABS. But when I look at the firmware version it is from 2015... What should I do?

EDIT: prints really well at 265C but Im curious if the resistor number is different than the firmware?

Hi,
I'm really interesting in installing a e3d thanks to this threads, but even before talking about the difficulties, can you tell me what is the ''flashing'' part for? I have a stock press except for the heater cartridge that i bought from filastruder in the e3d spare part 25W and it work well

Sure the thermister!I didn't thank of it, of course i'll need a new one compatible with the e3d.
Well, i am in progress to think about the update, what keeping me is the flashing part as i never have done it before.

EDIT: Is this setup compatible with the e3dlite?

Oh sure i understand that, my question was if the part MacGyver made could handle the e3dLite

Cool! I think, if i decide to change of hot end, i'll begin with the e3d lite, as the upgrade kit isn't that expensive if i want to upgrade .

only get one of the push to connect fittings, they come in a pack of 4. make sure you also get the printed parts somehow (I bought mine). also the e3d should come with the heater cartridge

https://github.com/ymilord/Solidoodle-Press-E3D-v6 this page has the instructions for flashing with that avr programmer

other than that it is fairly simple to understand how it goes together, and if you get stuck you can always ask here.

(Sorry for late reply)

The push to connect fitting dosn't ship oversea ( europe, france, paris ). Does anyone bought it somewhere else?

Selkess: Ok thanks you, it just to be sure !
Elmoret: Always here to save us lol thank you!
Jadonm as it work for you i'll follow your way!

Flexibles work great on the v6. But keep in mind that materials like TPU get very tricky with a Bowden setup. If flexible materials are in your future, stick with a direct feed.
TPE and TPU need a sort of guide to reliably feed into the hotend. The v6 is perfect for this as it already has a PTFE inster. Trim the external end of the tubing to a wedge, and it will sit right up against your gear.
