As I've worked on my laser engraver setup, I've also been doing some updates to my CNC and 3D printer.
For the 3D printer, I got the RAMPS 1.6 board, Arduino Mega, and graphical display. The original Anet A8 had Skynet firmare, which doesn't exist anymore from what I see. I downloaded the latest Marlin fw and have been going through the setup on it. So far, so good, but it's been a tedious process. Thankfully all the original Anet equipment is working OK.
My question: Before I get any deeper into the process, are there any 'gotchas' I should be aware of with the arrangement I described?
