Topic: Setup Help Needed

I've had my Solidoodle 2 for probably 1-2 years now, and still haven't managed to get everything setup right.  I recently put a E3D v6 hot end on it, so my question is, does anyone have any semi-easy to understand videos or instructions that would help with setting this up to get fairly good prints?

Re: Setup Help Needed

Have you updated the firmware? If not you will need to do so to take full advantage of the E3D. Do you know what motherboard you have, the stock MB or have you replaced it with a different one?

SD3, E3D hotend,linear bearing on x/y axis',pillow block bearing on y conneting rod, ball bearngs on front y axis, fan on y stepper motor.

I have the stock older Sanguinololu motherboard, I'm guessing updating the firmware isn't much different than uploading a sketch to an Arduino.

Edit:
Firmware has been updated
