Anycubic Chiron Firmware 1.3.0m - With optimial configuration

thingiverse

This is based off 1.3.0 anycubic firmware with 4988 standard drivers Now the 1.3.0 comes with a config file. This allows you to set different options for the firmware. Its quite easy to do, and with a little youtube and reading you will have it worked out pretty easy. This is my 1.3.0 anycubic firmware with my config adjustments - Use at your own risk, you damage don't cry to me. Saying that I have used and love these new config options listed below. If I get enough demand I'll upload the source. <b>* Z_MIN_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST</b> - Active - Use following GCODE to test sensor <b>MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR PROBE ON!!!</b> - M48 P10 X100 Y100 V2 <b>* S_CURVE_ACCELERATION</b> - Activated - This gives a very slight curve to acceleration <b>* ENABLE_LEVELING_FADE_HEIGHT</b> - Activated - M420 Z6 send this and M500 - Leveling fade Z height - it means your bed leveling data is faded out by the 6th layer - Please check height with and without for your results M420 Z0 followed by M500 to deactivate <b>* Hotend max temp - 260</b> - Note the tubing hit the hotend. Any higher and you tube will melt (you can change heat break for higher temps) <b>* Bed max temp - 120</b> <b>* Modified probe test areas to align with grid juction</b> <b>* Increased slightly home travel speed</b> <b>* DRIVER_TYPE A4988</b> - These are the original stepper drivers. <b>* DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION { 3000, 2000, 100, 30000 }</b> - Increased acceleration - Now cura will be accurate with estimated times - My personal opinion to get nice prints and avoid a lot of shakes in the printer I have set the print acceleration to max 750 & max travel acceleration to 900 in CURA settings. Thanks to chipen83 <b>* RESTORE_LEVELING_AFTER_G28</b> - This restores Bed leveling data after G28 (Home - yep, everytime you use Home button your bed leveling data is deactivated) command- I highly suggest putting M420 S1 if you want to use bed leveling data for your print. Add it to your start Gcode under Cura or Octoprint. M420 S1 restors bed leveling data So thats it. Everthing else is the same as the firmware your on now. And I suggest not updating past the 1.3.0 until (fingers crossed lol) anycubic release a newer true firmware update or someone gets everything working If you have read this far I'll give you my 2 hot tips for this great machine * Calibrate your PID (DO IT NOW) https://reprap.org/wiki/PID_Tuning * Calibrate your extruder!! https://mattshub.com/2017/04/19/extruder-calibration/ For those that want to adjust the firmware config file themselves I will supply my modded settings for the bed probe as all the rest of the settings I just removed // comment from config // Set the boundaries for probing (where the probe can reach). #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 16 #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION+375 #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION 16 #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION+376 Here is a list of my mods I have done to my Anycubic Chiron that have mad the best difference <b>3x 2208 Stepper driver X Y Extruder</b> - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TubpTMFkbVs <b>BMG extruder</b> - Very simple mod with great results. I just turned my stepper motor upside down - Check my mod on here for lining up the filament. <b>V6 E3D hotend with copper heat block</b> - I'll just supply the links on ebay for this upgrade as at time of writing they are the cheapest I found. <b>Copper heatblock</b> - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/copper-brass-heater-block-for-E3D-copper-hotend-for-3D-printer-high-temperature/283597504036?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 <b>Heat sink</B> - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/E3D-V6-Reprap-All-Metal-J-head-Bowden-Heatsink-for-1-75mm-3mm-Filament/192256782491?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 <b>Heat break</b> - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-pc-Hot-End-Throat-Stainless-Steel-Thermal-Heat-Break-for-3D-Printer-Practical/323897918295?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=512928885655&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 <b>Themo </b> - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3D-Printer-Parts-HT-NTC100K-Thermistor-Temperature-Sensor-for-High-Temperat-C4D3/293115717858?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=591981602499&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 <b>E3D Capricorn 60cm</b> - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/E3D-Genuine-Capricorn-Bowden-Tubing-100mm/293016414885?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Enjoy modding!!!
