Introduction

This guide assumes that you are some what familiar with editing your firmware. The guide focuses on the latest Marlin firmware.

  1. Open the Configuration.h file.
    • Open the Configuration.h file.

    • Set extruder count to 2.

  2. Set SWITCHING_NOZZLE_SERVO_ANGLES to 165 and 0. You will likely need to adjust this later on when fine tuning your setup.
    • Set SWITCHING_NOZZLE_SERVO_ANGLES to 165 and 0. You will likely need to adjust this later on when fine tuning your setup.

  3. Set the nozzle offset for the switching hotends.
    • Set the nozzle offset for the switching hotends.

    • HOTEND_OFFSET_X { 0.0, 28.00 }

    • Download and unzip the thermistor table here.

    • Copy the thermistor_560.h to:

    • Marlin/src/module/thermistor

  4. Set the thermistors:
    • Set the thermistors:

    • Low temp (white cable) - set as 1

    • High temp (blue cable) - set as 560

    • If you are running two high temp thermistors, both need to be set to 560.

  5. For the low temp. side, set this to 275.
    • For the low temp. side, set this to 275.

    • For the high temp. side, set this to 450.

  6. If you are using the included extruders set the steps to 98.
    • If you are using the included extruders set the steps to 98.

    • Set retract acceleration to 3000.

  7. Set z-probe for homing. Define nozzle/probe offset. {39.5, 32, 0}
    • Set z-probe for homing.

    • Define nozzle/probe offset.

    • {39.5, 32, 0}

    • Probe Pins:

    • As mentioned before, in the wiring diagram, the probe's black cable needs to be connected to a digital signal pin on your control board. You can set this pin number by entering the following into either your configurtion.h file or directly into your boards pins.h file.

    • In lib/src/pins/...your control board

    • Here, the Z_MIN_PROBE_PIN is pointing to pin 4.

  8. Similarly, in the wiring diagram, the servos orange cable needs to be connected to a digital signal pin on your control board. You can set this pin number by entering the following into either your configurtion.h file or directly into your boards pins.h file.

  9. Set NUM_SERVOS 1
    • Set NUM_SERVOS 1

    • Set servo delay to 300.
