FT-6 firmaware needed

[aliaj00]

HI Guys,

i finally got the missing parts from folgertech and i am trying to get the firmware but the link on their page does not have a firmware for marlin2 for skr1.3 that is for single extruder. there is one for the dual extruder.

Please help as i don`t want to mess with the firmware starting right at the beginning.

My friend tweaking firmware is part of building a kit,
I suggest to research the subject on you tube and watch videos . there are two good ones on the other thread you posted on .
There are way too many options offered for the skr board to have a one firmware fits all approach.
I know it is frustrating and Folger tech could do better but it is a good idea to learn firmware anyway.

I have built two FT kits both needed firmware tweaks.

I am in the same situation with the FT-6 firmware. All the videos I watch shows that it is sooo easy but I get errors that I can't explain. Have been trying since Dec 2019! Would buy it! If I could find it. It is difficult to learn about tweaking firmware when I can't even get it to load. MKS Gen V1.4 board. Jeff

I feel your pain the mks should be a bit easier

i got rensponse from folgertech and they are saying that the dual extruder frmware for the ft-6 should be ok also for the single extruder direct drive.

i dont know if it will work OK as the bowden needs different rectrations etc.

Has anyone info/experience with direct drive variables?

Hmm may be ok but I wouldld think one would at least need to hook up a thermistor to the circuit .to avoid error codes .

as far as retraction settings they are set in the slicer
