If you’re sticking with Marlin, I’ve been very happy with the “professional” firmware. The configurator is pretty easy to set up if you change any hardware like a new bltouch or new hotend if that’s your thing.
I’m starting from no knowledge here, so all advice is great! Do you mean this stuff? Or should I get the aluminum version?
Okay, I have no clue what I’m doing but I did look up a little bit on tapping and think I might be able to try that. Of all the threads to strip I think I may have gotten lucky. The screw doesn’t seem to do much other than keep the metal plate from sliding up and down (though I may be wrong) so I’m not too worried about strength I think.
What do you mean about the rod? Is this to buy a rod, cut it to size, use a die to thread it, and screw that in?
Is this a “good enough” tap? Looks like I’d need to get a wrench for it too?
