Marlin 2.1.2.6 is a minor release bringing over some changes from the latest development branch. github.com/MarlinFirmwa... #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource

Happy Saturday! #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

The updated Fixed-Time Motion scheduler and trajectory planner is blowing away the previous implementation with its smooth and quiet operation. It’s been ages since we just sat and watched the printer in awe, but this is some crazy magic. #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

You can find this fish in Austin! #3Dprinting

Slow and steady builds the future. #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource #Posthumanism

My 2nd plotter runs with @marlinfw.org , just like a 3D printer 😄 #penplotter #3dprint

Realtime 100x print speed is possible, but only in simulation! Attach the Marlin Simulator to LLDB in VSCode and there's no more fun and exciting way to debug and test your improvements to our small and maximally efficient #OpenSource motion system. #RepRap #3DPrinting #ImgUI

"Auto Build Marlin" is a VSCode extension created by the lead developer of Marlin Firmware to provide all the tools you need in one convenient location. It's never been easier to configure, build, and update your motion system firmware! #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource #VSCode

I’ll be live streaming later today, putting some final touches to the upcoming Marlin 2.1.3 release. This version will be tagged on Friday and we’ll patch up your reported issues in followup point releases. #3DPrinting

You've seen Delta. You've seen CORE. But you've never seen Delta Core! youtu.be/YO74M19ytRc #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

At the moment #LLMs still can’t handle our codebase and choke on preprocessor macros and novel meta-programming. Humans are still far more adept. But we are rooting for you, brave little #AI, and we’re sure you’ll get there soon! #OpenSource

The definition of irony: Contracting pneumonia while you’re taking an extended health break. 😵 (And now I know what a “pleural effusion” is.) I just need to take it easy (and sleep a lot) for a little while, then I’ll be back on the project full-time! #RepRap #OpenSource #HealthyRoutine

With so many changes in our industry, now is Marlin's critical moment. Our sponsorship is in steep decline, yet our workload is holding steady. As we continue support and development we need your help now more than ever! marlinfw.org/docs/develop... #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource

Auto Build Marlin 2.1.75 is out now and has some nice improvements for you! - Config Editor: Updated for Marlin 2.1.3-b3 compatibility. - Info Panel: Documentation Search for convenient access to the knowledge you need when you need it! github.com/MarlinFirmwa... #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

Marlin 2.1.3 beta 3 is out now! github.com/MarlinFirmwa... We're in the home stretch to the official release. One more big sprint to address all your outstanding bug reports and then we'll put a ring on this thing!

Did everyone have a great time at #MRRF2025? We didn't make it out this year because #RepRap needs us to stay on the job to keep this thing going! But guaranteed we'll be there next year to represent our eternal commitment to this amazing #3DPrinting community!

Building… building… building… Marlin 2.1.3-b3 binaries. @marlinfw.org #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

We’re tagging a new release any day now. As the premier #OpenSource single-board motion system we’ve still got a lot to do and much of it is already mapped out. Join our human effort or we’ll be forced to hand over our task list to schizoid #AI !

The content on #3DPrinting and #RepRap was exciting while we were inventing the technology. Now we’re just talking about the latest models and features and it’s no more interesting than content about the newest television. What will be the next #RepRap -like phenomenon my fellow #makers??

Canceling noise and oscillations allows for higher speeds and results in cleaner prints. Check out Tom Brazier's blog for background and insights into his clever ZV Input Shaper … which even runs on your old 16MHz AVR processor! tomblog.firstsolo.net/index.php/re... #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource

Hark! The beta testing period for 2.1.3 is almost over! We’ve been cleaning up, revamping, and optimizing the motion system to achieve higher acceleration and fix longstanding annoyances. Your existing #RepRap machines and #3DPrinters will seem brand new, and your future builds will be extra extra.

#Austin got hit by a tropical storm today that whipped through and knocked over a lot of trees and things. It also knocked out the Internet so all those good TMCStepper patches for Marlin are delayed, sorry! #3DPrinting #OpenSource @marlinfw.org

Every #RepRap machine can benefit from well-tuned Input Shaping! This OctoPrint plugin makes the process much simpler and provides a vital UI component in the evolution of Marlin motion control. #3DPrinting github.com/navaismo/Oct...

Whatever vitamins you're taking, keep it up! The innovation and quality of your contributions to fix, improve, and extend the power and capabilities of all kinds of hobbyist making robots have been especially good in recent times! #RepRap #OpenSource

You know when you’re working hard and making great stuff. Keep it up!

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” If you're interested in motion theory, robotics, CNC … and looking to build your C / C++ coding skills this is the opportune moment to join us in moving the state of the art forward! #Coding #OpenSource #RepRap #3DPrinting

As a free open source product made by monks, the price of Marlin remains unaffected by current #tariffs. And it can still run on your old toaster oven. If you have limited parts, there are great SCARA #RepRap designs made to be built out of scraps … in a cave! #3Dprinting will survive and thrive!

Back on the job getting out the latest release. www.twitch.tv/thinkyhead

Unimaginative people appear to be scared that “the era of innovation and open source contribution in motion control is over and done;” that “the two board solution is best.” The view from here is quite different. Our sector is constantly moving and we still have a vital role to play. #3DPrinting

Now, on YouTube… #3DPrinting #RepRap #OpenSource youtu.be/6lKrneXzxEA?...

Marlin 2.1.3 Beta 3 will be dropping shortly. Let's catch up on the latest happenings in the world of #RepRap, #3DPrinting, #OpenSource, and what's coming up with Marlin + MarlinAutoBuild + OctoPrint development! www.twitch.tv/videos/24181...

Things can apparently move pretty fast … when the maintainer needs a feature. That’s more or less how he got into this mess in the first place! Please give your C++ coder friends a #3DPrinter with Marlin because they’ll be unable to resist improving and fixing the things that bug them.

Pro tip: Try rotating your squarish print objects by 45 degrees on the bed for faster top perimeter print speeds. 45 degree diagonals have a top speed 1.44 times higher than true lines. This is partly why infill is customarily oriented at 45 degrees to the bed.

If we’re knolling that surely means something is coming….

Don’t be shy! You’re not just wasting your personal opportunities to enjoy more experiences of learning and growth, you’re depriving the world of the fruits of your fullest potential. Don’t stand still. Take your talents out for a scary and thrilling adventure! #makers #creativity

Please submit your reply within 72 hours listing in bullet points 5 non-classified things you did this week to add RISC-V support to Marlin Firmware. #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

The paper cited here makes some assumptions about G-code, presuming a certain style of processing. While it’s true Marlin 2.1.3 now needs an M400 stop to change some motion parameters via G-code, that can be cured with a “callback” planner block. I’ll prototype that now…. #3DPrinting #RepRap

For reliable sensorless homing with Trinamic stepper drivers, tune your homing speeds to spin the motors at ~30 RPM. For a typical bed-slinger that's a feedrate of 1200 mm/min for an average homing time of > 5 seconds per sensorless axis. #3DPrinting #RepRap

In perusing all the scrolly platforms it's great to see they all contain endless amounts of inspiring and useful #3DPrinting information, so whether you're partial to Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, or Xitter you'll never be lacking for content and connections!

Auto Build Marlin is continuing to improve! The Config Schema and Custom Config Editor are getting to a pretty good place. Now that it can reliably parse configurations for enabled items we can finally get that Config Migration working and reduce your updates down to a one-click process.

Dividing a 3D printer's price by its build area in cc's yields some useful numbers like $0.07 per cc or $0.02 per cc. But this doesn't tell the whole story.

This A.B.M. update fixes wrongly hidden MMU options and more! - Fix / improve cleanup for JS evaluation of conditionals - Clarify that ConfigSchema data is grouped by section - Fix ConfigSchema.getItems returning 0 results - Fix evaluation of mixed-case options (e.g., DEFAULT_Kp) #3DPrinting

This update includes some small fixes and helpful improvements. - Improve Config Editor section ordering and emojis - Better consolidation of schema 'requires' conditions - Fix Config Editor handling of underscores in the Filter - Show E Sensor IDs in the Auto Build Panel
