Marlin 3D Printer Firmware with Easy Config
TEVO TARANTULA EASY CONFIG
terryb.print3d@gmail.com
Version 17080102
This is an attempt to create a simple configuration for as many
different Tevo Tarantula variants as possible. This will always be a work in progress. Email me if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you encounter problems when using Easy Config.
This is a Marlin 1.1.x configuration file. I will update this as
new versions of Marlin are released.
Marlin's built-in sanity check should still work so please contact
me at the email address above if you receive any erro messages.
Users usually don't know what settings are related and end up frustrated. My goal is to create a small section in Configuration.h with the few #defines a new user needs to set and all the related settings are done by preprocessor directives in Configuration.h.
This will work specifically for the Tevo Tarantula and only works because I know this printer and the options that it comes with. This should help beginners get up and running in the shortest amount of time after finishing their build.
I initially had the full Marlin source code in this repo but since nothing in the Marlin code has been changed and the only thing I have modified is Configuration.h I have removed the rest of the code. You should be able to download the official Marlin distribution, drop this Configuration.h file into the Marlin directory and compile.
As of this post, the version I have tested this with is Marlin 1.1.x. Specifically 1.1.4. I will update as new versions of Marlin are released.
My Tevo Tarantula has a large bed, BLTouch sensor, and dual extruder. This allowed me to test for the small bed, single extruder, with no bed leveling probe. I previously also used the SN04 inductive probe and I incorporated that configuration into this.
Thank you to the Marlin team for such an awesome piece of software. Your contribution to the 3D printing community is invaluable.
Below is the list of #defines in the section of Configuration.h you must fill in. They are explained in Configuration.h but I'll add explanations of each setting here when I get a chance. Once you have done that, compile and upload to your Tevo Tarantula and you should be ready for your first print.
#define STOCK_MOTHERBOARD
#define DUAL_EXTRUDER
#define LARGE_BED
#define BLTOUCH
#define SN04
#define SENSOR_LEFT_OF_NOZZLE 10
#define SENSOR_RIGHT_OF_NOZZLE 10
#define SENSOR_BEHIND_NOZZLE 10
#define SENSOR_IN_FRONT_OF_NOZZLE 10
#define Y_MOTOR_ON_RIGHT
CHANGE LOG: 17080201 Fixed sanity check error when enabling SN04. Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING and Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING mismatch.
