Hardware

  • Probe is official BL-Touch (which is stock on the E5P)
    • it should be set and forget, don't think it needs to be recalibrated ever unless some hardware thing changes
    • can use 'babystep' feature to live z-adjust during printing
    • refer to this for setting the probe offset https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_1Kg45APko

Software

To use pronterface to control the printer, first power up the printer, then connect the usb cable to your computer. On win10 it should auto-detect and possibly install 'maple' (wtf that is lol). Baud 115200


Calibration notes

  • using the built in e-steps I got 137.85 steps/mm (this is in the firmware, in the slicer you just change the flow rate)

Glass Print Plate Usage

Usage

- there is no octoprint or other network connection set up yet. There is usb port on the side of the touchscreen and there should be a usb stick in it, use that

SD Card

Slicer Settings

* Using Cura, seems to be what most people are using
    • flow settings are "hard-baked" into extrusion values in the gcode. So if you set flow to 95% in cura, there will NOT be an M221 S95 command in the gcode and so the printer will say on its screen that flow is 100%, but really the flow has been reduced.

A few random printing tips
