Hi, I know Sailfish is not being developed anymore, can anyone recommend a fork, at the moment i am using 7.10 from https://github.com/SaschaKP/Sailfish-MightyBoardFirmware.

I also try marlin, but it does not seem as good, it might be placebo as i am starting with printing.

SaschaKP commented 3 years ago

marlin is currently up to date and has some features that could help in printing, for example the auto-tilt, that even if available in sailfish, is not as decent as in marlin.

Even if marlin code is a mess, it's also simple to add something in private code, even if resources are really strict, and you need to have a larger chip for non volatile memory (the smallest compile I obtained is 10k over the maximum for the 1280 chip)

I managed to compile it for the 1280 chip but had to disable many things including sdcard support, I think i might keep sailfish for now as a im very limited with the 1280 chip and move on to marlin maybe in a future printer that has more space.

Then I also suggest you continue to use my fork, it should be pretty decent, and auto tilt with the sensor is also available, but again, not as decent as in marlin, calculations are limited to the three point plane

I will do, I don't have any fancy hardware running is just a default CTC, but I have noticed some extra noise on marlin when changing directions that does not happen in sailfish, thanks for the fork it works great.
