[quote=“parker”]I am using the original firmware as when I uploaded V2 my X axis stopped working - which i thought was an electronic issue rather than a firmware so i replaced the board but when i uploaded original firmware all was well.
I do not know what you mean by compile - can you elaborate?[/quote]
If you want to upload the new firmware the Arduino IDE first translates the source code text files into “Arduino readable” machine code,
which is called compiling.
The issue you describe (non working axis) is almost securely due to the wrong Arduino IDE version used to compile and upload teh firmware.
The marlin firmware recently only compiles and uploads with the “ancient” Arduino 1,0,6 Version. Any newer version will lead to malfunction in some place.
So i’d suggest to uninstall Arduino and install the old 1.0.6 version, and then retry uploading the new v2 firmware.
That did the trick form me to get the Autotune working.
For uploading the firmware check this: k8200.eu/manual/printing/?c=007
When opening the Marlin.ino you gonna see tabs on top, press on the arrow down at the right side covering some tabs and look for language.h.
In that press CTRL+F and typ #define MSG_M115_REPORT "FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin V1 and press Find
Ones found change the V1 to V2
Then follow the steps from the link
Can somebody upload their settings for the cura slicing?
Is it possible to change the infill density?h
And when its printing the top layer (infill) it doesnt completely fills it up.
What setting do i have to change here?
Hi City stars - I had exactly the same thing look at the previous images in this thread. N.b. the fill represented in Repetier was correct to what was being printed, to stop this from happening I changed Slicr>Advanced>Top solid infill>110% this fixed the problem. I am not sure what is the root of the problem BUT i will investigate whether it is the X and Y gearing not being being able move accurately enough for smaller nozzle dia (this might be total twaddle I will let you know).
Hello, I installed V2 software and then ran PID autotune which worked fine - I then changed:
This
// Mendel Parts V9 on 12V #define DEFAULT_Kp 63.0 #define DEFAULT_Ki 2.25 #define DEFAULT_Kd 440 #endif // PIDTEMP
To this
// Mendel Parts V9 on 12V #define DEFAULT_Kp 12.69 #define DEFAULT_Ki 1.32 #define DEFAULT_Kd 30.57 #endif // PIDTEMP
However my Y axis does not work with new firmware. Christian you mentioned I may have the wrong Arduino IDE i installed ‘arduino-1.6.2’ is this not the right version?
I am now going to reflash the V1 firmware and use the M303 results I gleaned from the V2 autotune.

Thanks Christian/Barnaby/Citystars - printing now running PID tuned! Excellent! I will run another temperature test later today to ensure I have the right print temp now I have the tuning completed.
Another small yet steep learning curve - thanks for you help! Can’t wait for the Z axis upgrade once I have a few prints under my belt!
