MarlinKimbra Firmware

Applicability

The information in this wiki is specific to the MarlinKimbra firmwware.

Introduction

MarlinKimbra is a firmware for 3D printers based on avr-based microprocessors such as those used on the Arduino platform. If you use a 32-bit processor, you can use the version MarlinKimbra4due.

This code resides in the PROM on the controller board and controls the input/output, voltage states, and movement of the 3D printer. Depending on configuration options, the size of the MarlinKimbra binary image may be anywhere from 50K to over 200K.

It supports a huge number of features, such as:

• Compensation for Bed Position
• Deployment of sensors for bed probing
• Manually, or by Servo, or other programmable mechanisms
• Bed Auto Leveling -- Compensation for Un-level Beds
• Manual Bed Leveling
• Firmware Retraction
• Thermal Runaway Protection
• EEPROM save and restore
• Thermistors and thermocouples
• LCD Controllers and SD cards
• Delta_Kinematics, SCARA_Kinematics, CoreXY, CoreXZ and Cartesian_Kinematics kinematics
• USB communication
• A rich dialect of G-Code in Marlin
• Up to 4 extruders
• Multiextruder system MKR4, NPr2, DONDOLO.
• Single nozzle for Flux capacitor or Diamond Hotend.
• Several Supported Hardware
