E3D titan v6 firmware. (easy noob question)

[Maxheadroom1]

Hi guys!

I have a E3D Titan v6 extruder that I want to install on my FT-5. Simple, isn't it? I know that it is the way to change the firmware in the following link:

http://www.soliwiki.com/E3D_extruder

1-Those instruction, is it just adapted for the FT-5?

2-And also, what is those instruction for?
The stepper motor?
The difference of height for the nozzle to level the bed properly?

thx!

Seems an older instruction. In the latest versions the thermistors are mounted in cartridges.

The only things besides the assembly you should do are :
- adapting the steps per mm in the configuration.h since this is a geared extruder
- adjust the Z-stop for the new nozzle position.

This is from my configuration.h :

/** * Default Axis Steps Per Unit (steps/mm) Set to 1/16th Stepping * Override with M92 * X, Y, Z, E0 [, E1[, E2[, E3]]] */ #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 80, 80, 400, 402 }

Use around 402 for a 1.8° stepper, 804 for a 0.9° stepper.

Mine is 0.9°. So I guess instead of writing this:

{ 80, 80, 400, 402 }

I would write this?

{ 80, 80, 400, 804 }

Is that it?

804 would be a good value indeed. Probably you should run an adjustment for your extruder. I use a Titan too.

Looked a bit deeper and yes you might need to change these too :
The new cartridge sensors from E3D are type 5 if you're using their normal NTC

#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 5

and if you want to do higher temperature materials change the temperature to a 10°C above the printing temp. I print PC and have it at 330°C

#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 330

If there is nothing else. thx.
