    TMC2208 - Marlin

    Question 
    I’ve recently upgraded to the TMC2208’s and the bed will no longer home in the centre. Looking through the marlin firmware I can see that the X & Y clearly state the old TMC1200. if upgrading to the new TMC2208’s does the firmware need to updated?

    Recycling PLA filament

    Discussion 
    Hello, I backed the Axis 3D Kickstarter a few months ago, and while I'm waiting for it to be delivered in ~April-May time (it'll be my 1st 3D printer!) I've been ding some research about filament. I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and my council does not collect PLA for recycling / composting. What's the best way to responsibly dispose of it - e.g. failed prints etc? If there's no good way to do so, are there any alternative filaments that are easier to responsibly dispose of at the end of their useful life?
