Newbie Question - Correct settings to build firmware for Monoprice Select v2?

splumlee

Hi All,
I hate to be such a noob but I am trying to determine the proper setup for getting new firmware for my Monoprice Select v2. I have determined that it is running v0.91 and I would like to upgrade it to at least 0.92 if not 1.0.3. Primary goal was enabling of thermal shutdown but I am sure there are other benefits too. The printer seems to be a good starter printer and I am not trying to "brick" the thing.

I was trying to determine the correct settings in the Firmware Configurator (https://www.repetier.com/firmware/v100/index.php) but without completely disassembling the printer, I am not sure for some of the component questions and wanted to see if anyone had one that worked, warnings I should be aware of, etc.

Here's what I have gathered so far that brought me here:
Send: N312 M115*38
Recv: ok 312
Recv: FIRMWARE_NAME:Repetier_0.91 FIRMWARE_URL:https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Firmware/ PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:Mendel EXTRUDER_COUNT:1 REPETIER_PROTOCOL:2
Recv: Printed filament:665.97m Printing time:5 days 18 hours 47 min

I also saw something about M303 but that just ran a bunch of codes back at me. FYI I am a hardware guy but not a programmer so some of these things are making me stretch a bit.

If anyone has a working profile that I can use for baseline setup that would be appreciated!

I have tweaked my printer settings through the CURA profile and get good consistent results, but not sure if this is part of what I need to incorporate into the new firmware wizard.

Thanks all!
Steve

That is actually not the hardware configuration, just some of the values set like sizes and speeds that you may want to change. What really would help is if you find the original configuration.h of the printer. Since it is GPL the vendor should provide it for download. That file contains all the hard to tell config parts like thermistor type and pin usage. So try to search for that and it is easy to adjust it to latest version.
