I've been trying to get something decent printed for days but nothing works! I have a Tarantula Tevo i3 MKS Base V1.4 and have done a lot of trial & plenty of error. Still I am puzzled to get good prints.

  1. What is the stock firmware for a single extruder regular/large bed firmware & how to configure a large bed (if needed to be configured)?
  2. Which is the auto bed leveling firmware?

I need help sorting out what's out there. I did not manage to configure a large bed with a single extruder. But did manage to restore firmware with Marlin-2.0.x

  1. So the Tevo 3D Printing Store firmware link directs to a dropbox - only dual extruders - both regular & large bed,
  2. There is JimBrown's GitHub MarlinTarantula - Optimized firmware for RepRap 3D printers based on the Arduino platform,
  3. JoelLisenby's GitHub TEVO-Tarantula-I3-Marlin-Firmware.

I followed this, YouTube - Setting Up Auto Bed Leveling (Tevo Tarantula), for setting up the auto bed leveling sensor but it just got me messed-up even more, see Tevo Tarantula incorrectly auto leveling of bed. I'm just now in the process of trying to manually level the bed and I broke the hot end holder plastic plate...

EDIT: The sensor I'm using is SN04-N Inductive Proximity Sensor - 5mm

Answer for "2)":

The default firmware seems to be Repetier. It also includes Bed leveling (see documentation): https://www.repetier.com/documentation/repetier-firmware/z-probing/

Marlin includes the Auto Bed Leveling feature too. You need to enable it by editing the Configuration.h file.

Bed size settings are there aswell.

"stylesuxx" made a video on how to get Marlin onto the Tevo:

or you can take a look at their website: http://marlinfw.org/docs/configuration/configuration.html#configuration.h

Autoleveling can be enabeled as well in this file. There is a good video from Thomas Sanladerer on Mesh Bed Leveling:

If you want some help with auto bed leveling it would be nice if you can include what kind of sensor you want to use (inductive, capacitive, microswitch...) and what your prefered type of bed leveling is (mesh 3x3, just z-leveling)...

Tevo Tarantula i3 owners on FaceBook is where I got marlin 2.0. Other things I tried didn't work, but this is working fine if you just want to add auto bed leveling using the standard SN04 sensor.
