Cobblebot Beast FFF Settings

Hi all,

I just finished building my Cobblebot Beast and I've done the first couple of test prints. I'm trying to streamline the use and I notice a few features that S3D provides for my Makerbot 2X are not available for the Cobblebot.

Specifically "Auto-Configure Extruders" which is a hugely useful feature isn't available for my Cobblebot. The Cobblebot doesn't currently have an entry in the Configuration Assistant so I had to choose "Other" and setup the parameters myself.

Is there any way for me to enable these missing features manually OR is there a similar configuration assistant profile that I can use as a starting point? The Cobblebot is running on Arduino with the latest Marlin firmware and Ramps 1.4.

Thank you!

Re: Cobblebot Beast FFF Settings

That just means that your profile doesn't include those options. If you setup the profile on your own, that's to be expected.

Go to File > Export FFF Profile and save both your Rep 2X and Cobblebot profiles to your hard drive. Then open the files in a text editor. I'm sure you will notice the differences, but if you need a hint, look for the <autoConfigureExtruder> tags ;)

You can then edit your cobblebot profile to add the options you want, save it, and File > Import FFF Profile to load it back into software.

Oh good! I didn't think the profiles were human editable and I was looking for an option in the GUI. That makes a lot of sense thanks!
