Repetier Firmware on stock Ender 5 Plus
in Motherboard
I've got an Ender 5+ and it has several issues that I am blaming on the factory Marlin firmware. To begin with, auto bed leveling sucks on Marlin. I much prefer Repetier after my last two builds. But the main issue is I'm having extrusion issues kind of like the firmware has a minimum extrusion amount or something. No matter the slicer, if I go below 0.2mm layer height it over extrudes like crazy. I've never had this issue with Repetier. But quite honestly, I don't like Marlin at all.
That being said, the chip is supposed to me an ATMEGA2560 (according to images on the web). I can get the open source Marlin and verify pins and basic settings, but would I need to just choose "MEGA/RAMPS up to 1.2" or the "RAMPS 1.3/RAMPS 1.4" in the configuration tool or is there a different one I need to use?

But out of curiosity, is there anything useful for the Ender touch screen? It should be the same as the CR10 display. I have a spare to play with and was wondering if I needed to dig into DGUS programming and writing my own interface, if that’s possible.
I was just wondering if it was possible or if even looking into DGUS programming was worth it. I've found a project out there on github for the Marlin version so that would not be too hard to port to Repetier, if I could handle the return messages.
I finally fixed my bootloader and got Repetier back on. Any clue as to why the Y axis would just stop for a second then start going again?
Keep in mind there are other issues with Marlin that I want to get away from.
@Repetier Going to try it and see how it does. I'll know shortly.
I unplugged the display and set it to no dislay in the configuration and it saves space and processing power. I may play wth the DGUS, if I have time. Not a huge priority, just curiosity at this point lol.
On another note, you guys helped me with a bed issue on my AM8. That printer got retired early but I used all that knowledge to make my Hypercube even better and now I will use it on my Ender. This never ending fountain of knowledge is what keeps the hobby fun, even when it gets frustrating lol.
