Some time ago bobc started with this port. After some time sadly he stopped with the development. So I started to take his work and try to make some small modifications. After a couple of weeks I found the most importent things which speed up my new fork. Thanks to bobc for this great work! I'm not a professional programmer and without bobc I couldn't do that.
Also a big thanks to all Marlin8bit-developers. Keep on working.
Last but not least, many thanks to Repetier. His ARM-port gives me a lot of inspiration.

- smoother temperature (median of last 5 values)
- watchdog doesn't work, don't activate it
- Configuration & Compilation
- Supported
- Notes
This is a firmware for reprap single-processor electronics setups. It also works on the Ultimaker PCB. It supports printing from SD card+Folders and look-ahead trajectory planning. This firmware is a mashup between Sprinter, grbl, and many original parts.
The Marlin development is currently revived. There's a long list of reported issues and pull requests, which we are working on currently. We are actively looking for testers. So please try the current development version and report new issues and feedback.
Google Hangout: Hangout
The current Marlin dev team consists of:
- Scott Lahteine [@thinkyhead]
Sprinters lead developers are Kliment and caru. Grbl's lead developer is Simen Svale Skogsrud. Sonney Jeon (Chamnit) improved some parts of grbl. A fork by bkubicek for the Ultimaker was merged.
More features have been added by:
- Lampmaker,
- Bradley Feldman,
- and others...
Marlin is published under the GPL license because I believe in open development. Please do not use this code in products (3D printers, CNC etc) that are closed source or are crippled by a patent.
