The Anycubic Mega S is a cheap 3D printer. I bought this printer for about $280 CAD with shipping.
Configuration
Serial talks at 250,000 baud.
The print area is 210x210x205 (width, depth, height).
Anycubic suggests that the following slicer settings:
- bottom layer speed not exceed 20mm/s
- top/bottom speed 30mm/s
- outer shell speed 30mm/s
- retraction speed at 60mm/s at 6mm or for flexible filament at 91mm/s at 6.4mm
Firmware
For an updated firmware, see:
The stock firmware can be found on Anycubic's website, near the bottom of the page.
Use the OctoPrint Firmware Updater plugin. Configure it by setting:
- Flash method: avrdude
- AVR MCU: ATmega2560
- Path to avrdude: /usr/bin/avrdude
- AVR Programmer Type: wiring
- Baud Rate: auto
Note that the TFT display will look identical. I read that the display is its own thing which only sends/receives GCode with the main board.
Knutwurst's firmware issues:
- Still has startup / connection sounds
- Filament sensor needs to be closed or else it shows an error on the display
Mods
- Filament Holder - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2841440
- TMC2208 V2 driver. I bought 5 TMC2208 V2 modules. Follow the guide at: https://github.com/knutwurst/Marlin-2-0-x-Anycubic-i3-MEGA-S/wiki/Swap-stepper-motor-driver-for-TMC2xxx
