[solved] Latest Marlin for mElephant printer


#1

The problem

I downloaded Marlin from http://download.makeblock.cc/data/melephant/Marlin.rar

Link is provided in the mElephant description ​http://makeblock.com/melephant-3d-printer​ ​

But it is not working at all - I also found many complaints on the internet. Z axis is moving in opozite direction, auto level is not working and so on.

The question

Could you provide the link to the latest/development version of the Marlin Firmware?

Hi gpson,

Please check your mElephant printer, does it has the flexible coupling or not? show as below picture:

if your 3D printer has the Flexible coupling ,pls use the firmware:

if there is no flexible coupling, please use this firmware.
SH1106 Opanel-coupling.zip (1.4 MB)

SH1106 Opanel-n-coupling.zip (1.5 MB)

I am getting this error when uploading to the Melephant, " using typedef-name ‘fpos_t’ after ‘struct’ ". I am using version 1.8.2. Thanks ahead.

Best regards

Please compile and uploade the marlin firmware with Arduino 1.6.5 have a try.

Thanks ahead

I found this 3. Marlin (SH1106 Npanel,T6.5,Lead 3).zip (1.3 MB) on another forum thread. And I got it to work. But is this the most recent firmware or is their another version ?

Hi technologi,

There were three versions of marlin firmwares for no coupling elephant printer.
Normally, we try them one by one, I can’t tell which one is the latest now since the mElephant printer has discontinued a period of time.


#9

Is there a way to get this links to work again? I think i need other firmware. Which Version is the Marlin-Firmware?

Hi DerBaer,

Could you send a picture for your mElephant printer? Does it have the Flexible coupling or not?


#11

Its the one without coupling.

Hi DerBaer,

I will send three versions of mElephant firmware to your email address via the pCloud transfer website.
Please keep an eye on the email from pCloud transfer.

You can try them one by one with your mElephant.
