Hictop-Marlin

Marlin configuration files for a Hictop 3D printer

Releases

If you go to the release page you will find the Marlin firmware for the Hictop printer. Currently version 1.1.6, 1.1.9 and 2.0.5 are available. Download the Marlin.ino.hex file and write the firmware to the printing using Cura or other tools.

Introduction

These are my configuration files for Marlin 2.0.x for my Hictop 3D printer. The changes are based of vlachoudis hard work on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829405 for Marlin version 1.1.8

Changes to my printer from the Standard Hictop

I have made only two changes so far to my standard Hictop Prusa clone. The first being a SN04 probe. The second being a E3D Chimera dual extruder.

Comments in the file for the Hictop changes and my custom changes

All Hictop changes have a comment of //Hictop within the file. For the E3D changes there is also //Hictop E3d Chimera. Please note that when you see a ( ) after the Hictop comment with a number in between this will be the default setting for Hictop, but I have customised this for my printer.
