| - | The following is a list of steps to take when setting up the configuration for your printer. Generally speaking if you have any calibrated values (i.e. extruder Esteps, hotend/bed PID parameters) you should get the values and then edit the ones in firmware so that your calibrated values are the defaults. There also may be need for post-firmware configuration (such as home offsets and zprobe offsets). The following is a general list of stuff to setup and make sure are present (I would hope the printer you are targeting has most of these features). | + | The following is a list of steps to take when setting up the configuration for your printer.
