Supports:

  • Witbox
  • Hephestos Prusa i3
  • Hephestos Prusa i3 (with long bed kit).
  • Witbox 2
  • Hephestos 2

Under the hood:

  • Synced with upstream Marlin (git-9b50ec) (20150228) with additional fixes.
  • Built with Arduino SDK 1.6.4.
  • Built wit C++11 support.
  • Dropped support for Arduino IDE. Use the provided Makefile instead, see README.md for detailed instructions.

New hardware support:

  • Support for additional Arduino pins, extending the SDK file, required by BQ-CNC and BQ-Zum Mega3D boards.
  • Support for new printers Hephestos 2 and Witbox 2.
  • Improved support for LCD display 12864U5.

Bugfixes:

  • Increased material extrusion on filament insertion, to ensure that the hotend is totally clean (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Increased retraction of material on pause and filament change to avoid leaving drops of material on the piece (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Fixed low extrusion after pausing and/or filament change (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Fixed wrong retraction on M600 GCode (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Fixed non-linear behaviour of thermistor for increased accuracy on temperature measurement (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Ensure buffer is cleared after finishing or cancelling a printing (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Fixed reading long filenames on SD card (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Fixed crash when browsing up to 10 levels of subdirectories (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Changed drivers pulse frequency to enhance real-time response and layer-shifting protection (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).
  • Improved endstop logic (W/H/HXL/W2/H2).

Changes:

  • Removed last levelling point (confirmation point) (W/H/HXL).
  • Changed some operational positions to improve usability and uniformity between printers (W/H/HXL).

New features:

  • New graphical interface for LCD display 12864U5 (W2/H2).
  • Renewed auto-levelling feature with improved precision and accuracy (W2/H2).
  • Sensor-assisted wizard for manual levelling (W2/H2).
  • Support for new double drive gear (DDG) extruder (W2/H2).
  • New real-time PID control for DDG extruder (W2/H2).
  • Multilanguage support on a single build: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish and Russian (W2/H2).
  • Inactivity mode (W2/H2).
  • Serial printing screen (W2/H2).
  • Smart Light (W2).
  • Automatic base detection (W2).
  • Configurable chassis fan (W2).
