Ik heb dit net op een ander medium geplaatst, voor wie er wat aan heeft:
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the MKS SBase V1.3. When it prints, it very nice and it can calculate quick enough to take really small steps and make a very quiet machine. I have 400 steps per millimetre on the X and Y axis of my CoreXY machine and can easily run 200 mm/s without losing steps. Probably faster but my machine’s frame doesn’t like that. But it’s not all fun and games.
I use Smoothie Firmware, but the one from the Master branch on GitHub, dated January 2017. If you google on Smoothie Firmware on GitHub, you are landing on the Dev branch of the firmware. There is a pull down menu to go to different branches. Using anything newer than the one I mentioned above makes my printer halt for no apparent reason somewhere after mid-print. Anything from 53% to 96% I have seen happening, on prints from 3 hours and up. The 96% one was an 11 hour print, stopping just short… I was not happy.
Also I know that if you invert the extruder direction via the Smoothie Config file, the retraction settings can mess up. So I undid the inversion and switched wires on the motor. There are a lot of bugs like that. I also tried to hook up to LAN, to transfer files, but I am back to printing from the TFT32 screen’s SD card. It seems no-one got the LAN thing working, yet. My TFT32 didn’t want to update, until I read somewhere you need a 2Gb SD-card or smaller. Bigger ones it just doesn’t like. And there are a lot of silly little things like that, that can really ruin your day if you just want to print. I’ve worked through a lot of them but I have spent about 3 months on it so far.
My advice would be to either spend more and buy the SmoothieBoard, or buy this one, read all issues on GitHub (also the closed ones) and prepare for a lot of searching and puzzling. I got NO help on the RepRap forum, the SmoothieGuys rule there and non-SmoothieBoard users are frowned upon, to say the least.
