Initial Setup

This section will guide you through the first steps after assembling your MY-Mini-3D-Printer, with recommendations inspired by the Prusa Mini.

1. Firmware Installation

• Marlin is recommended, compatible with the MKS SGEN_L V2.0.
• Download the latest version of Marlin and configure it for your hardware (TMC2209 drivers, MKS H43 display, P.I.N.D.A. sensor, etc).
• Flash the firmware to the board via USB.
• See the official Makerbase and Marlin documentation for configuration details.

2. Display and Driver Configuration

• Ensure the MKS H43 display is properly connected to the board.
• Configure the TMC2209 drivers for UART (silent) mode and adjust current as needed for the motors.

3. Bed Leveling (Mesh Bed Leveling)

• Use the P.I.N.D.A. sensor for automatic bed leveling.
• In the display menu, select "Auto Home" and then "Bed Leveling".
• Follow the instructions to ensure the first layer adheres correctly.

4. Motor and Sensor Testing

• In the control menu, test the movement of the X, Y, and Z axes.
• Check if the endstops are working correctly.
• Test the hotend and bed heating.

5. First Test Print

• It is recommended to print a calibration cube (20x20x20mm) to validate operation.
• Adjust the Z-offset if necessary.

Prusa Mini Tips

• Use Prusa Mini slicer profiles as a base for the MY-Mini.
• Enable "mesh bed leveling" to ensure first layer quality.
• Check Prusa user forums and groups for configuration tips.
