I built a RepRap Mendel with Wade's Geared Extruder.

I have it working already, but my Skeinforge settings are still way of.

Here will be the place with the tweaks I did to get it going with ReplicatorG.

Firmware used: Teacup Firmware


First of all:

Be sure baudrates match:

File: replicatorg/machines/

  • change settings



File: config.h.ramps

  • renamed to config.h
  • softlimits undefined (to make repositioning via the ReplicatorG Controlpanel easy, will be reenabled after everything works)
  • #define BAUD 115200
  • #define XON/OFF
  • ACCELERATION_REPRAP undefined
  • ACCELERATION_RAMPING undefined
  • Stepper settings:
    • #define MAXIMUM_FEEDRATE_X 200
    • #define MAXIMUM_FEEDRATE_Y 200
    • #define MAXIMUM_FEEDRATE_Z 100
    • #define MAXIMUM_FEEDRATE_E 600
    • #define SEARCH_FEEDRATE_X 100 //was50
    • #define SEARCH_FEEDRATE_Y 100
    • #define SEARCH_FEEDRATE_Z 100 ///was 1???
    • #define SEARCH_FEEDRATE_E 50
    • #define E_STARTSTOP_STEPS 1 //this might need to be zero, will try later again

RAMPS onboard jumpers:

  • Extruder Microstepping to 1/4 steps



Skeinforge settings:

Activate dimension Set to Relative

ReplicatorG settings:

Prferences: Generate separate Z steps (not sure this necessary) Attention! You ABSOLUTELY need to disable this again if you use ReplicatorG with a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic, it will make the head crash right into the build platform!!!
