Can the A30 PRO be upgraded to Marlon?

Post by ricbru » Thu Jun 25, 2020 4:10 pm

I am not having a good time with this A30 PRO. Repetier seems to be the best choice in slicing files using Cura but it just cannot do overhangs at all. The Y layer shifting seems better with Repetier and the setting provided from Geeetech. The cooling fan is so small I don't think it is cooling the filament quick enough to keep it from saging.

Are there any owners that have found how to get this to print well?

I did. Fan at full speed and print speed around 50%

It enhanced the print quality quite a lot. No more sagging, no more shifting

@clarquey@irisit.fr could you please explain further what you mean?

You were able to get marlin 2.0 onto the a30 pro? or are you just saying you were able to get it to print ok by slowing it down and turning on the fan?

You can't get marlin on that at the moment.

I was saying reducing print speed to 45mm/s and having fans at 100% got me better prints and no more Y shift. Also Reinforced belt tensioner from thingiverse helped I think.

It is printing decent but not like my CR10S PRO's. Motherboards for the Creality are getting cheaper. It has a lot of CR10S PRP parts now and excellent cooling
