I use the original heater cartrige from Velleman then U dont have to change eprom settings, works fine with E3D[/quote]
The E3D Heater cartridge also works without change.
I Think the Velleman heater ist just a 12V type as well.

[quote=“3Ddan”]I have now changed to the E3D V6 nozzle, but, and I´m on the final step to make a configuration in a file “configuration.h” I know where it is but i have´nt any clue about what I should change in there?
I also istalled the LCD VM8201 and uploaded version 2 of the drives to the controllerboard. But my printer didn´t like it at all.
But did’nt find anything about the E3D V6 but those who change to this nozzle did you also changed the heater block or did you use the existning from velleman?[/quote]
What problems did you have after flashing the new firmware?
Something stuck?
btw, if you uncomment the following lines in configuration.h :
#define EEPROM_SETTINGS
#define EEPROM_CHITCHAT
you can use repetier host to change all important EEprom settings via repetier.
Most likely you used the wrong Arduino IDE version to compile it.
It only works with V 1.0.6 at the moment. Newer Versions do not compile marlin correctly.
You can find the Arduino 1.0.6 here -> arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwa … s#previous

everything worked fine exept for the motor that controlls the Y direction it had stopped working, and the X direction works but have also been affected of the upgrade.
But I can try to change back to the heater cartridge from velleman and try if it’s get better.
I’m no bulding my power extender.

If you have something not working after the firmware upgrade you almost sure used the wrong Arduino version to reflash.
Have a look at my previous post.

Okey, I will have a look at it during the weekend. Have lot of things at university now.
okey when I changed to the original heatblock from velleman and dowloaded the right ardunio, every motion X, Y and Z started worked again normally.
I had one disadvantage, I’ve tried to print the shell to my LCD panel (the top) from thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:458343 and when printing just around the walls, after 5 layers the printer creates just smooth wires as wall, don’t really know what happens. also the extruder motor seems to have it really heavy when feeding.
I also wonder about heater, if it’s possible to power it from my external power supply 24v that is for the heatbed, if i maybe connect it to my power expander or fix one more expander.
The reason why is because when i tried to change to ABS the heather wouldn’t rise the temp to 245 degres. I think it is because of the fan because without it i could reach 245 degres easily.
haha my printer starting to drive me crazy with all the problems I get, but it’s in the same time really funny.
Hi, the E3D V6 has a smaler heating area that the fliament runs through and people have found that you need to raise the extruder temperatue to work properly, try going up in 2 deg steps, you shouldn’t need more than an extra 10 deg.
so lets say around 200-205 degres on PLA? because or else i usually print with 195 degres.
Hi, something like that - the only real way to tell is by doing something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSOPsRiiOZk
You can find some shapes on thingiverse - square is better as it has less gcodes per layer - I would set bottom to at least 1 layer to ensure the shape sticks - if you know roughly the temperature range you can use smaller changes.
I do this for each roll of filament and write on the side as I have about 5 or 6 colours on the go at any time.
it worked better when I raised the temp to 205 degres. I will post a video here.

still looks like it’s going to heavy for the extruder. Make notice at the extruder gear foragers or how I should explain it…

Did you set the voltage on the stepper driver for the extruder to 0.55v?
It looks it looses/skips steps somtimes.
Another cause can be, that the gears of the extruder are engaged to tight.
I use the stock extruder with my v6/3mm hotend without any such problems, even with 60mm speed on a .35 nozzle.
Only thing i did was cutting the teeh of the hobbed bolt a little deeper with my dremel, to get better grip.

Aha okey I haven’t set extruder motor to 0.55V I can do that.
All my motors are set to 0.425V for now.

Better use 0.55v on all axes, works much more stable.

Hello again! I think I have manage to get everything to work no also my power expander works now with the controller board. finally.
Only one thing I wonder about now is the bed. When the printer finishing a job he doesn’t cooldown the bed it only cooldown the extruder. Do I have to write a sort of code in g-code list in order to shut down the bed printer is finished.

Add this line to your end g-code to turn off the Heatbed:
M140 S0 ; Disable heated bed
