Become a sponsor to Marlin
π§π»βπ€βπ§π» Who Are We?
The Marlin Firmware Group is an informal collaboration among open source developers and creative enthusiasts focused on improving the state of the art in 3D printer performance and user experience.
ποΈ What Do We Do?
Our main focus is Marlin Firmware itself, the software that resides on the machine's motherboard and manages all motion, heaters, user interface, and add-on peripherals.
Marlin was designed to be small, optimized, and adaptable in order to run on modest boards with 1998-era processors, but we've rapidly extended it to run on powerful modern ARM-based boards. In addition to 3D printers, Marlin can also drive plotters, laser engravers, CNC machines, and custom robots.
We also maintainβ¦
- Marlin Documentation for the marlinfw.org website,
- Configurations for hundreds of supported machines, and
- Auto Build Marlin to help users configure, build, and install Marlin.
β€οΈ Support Our Efforts
While Marlin development is certainly a labor of love, it's also a full-time job for the Project Maintainer and more than a part-time effort for many contributors, so every sponsor makes a huge difference and is greatly appreciated!
Funding the project helps to keep the lights on, acquire test equipment, and provides the stability needed to keep all of our focus on improving this revolutionary technology, keeping up with new hardware, and developing new and better methods. If Marlin makes your life better (or makes your company possible), consider becoming part of the team! New 3D printers and motherboards are constantly released, so there's never a dull moment.
We can always use help with testing, user experience design, writing documentation, and of course coding and debugging the firmware. If you're a mechanical or electronics engineer, your knowledge and expertise is needed to help us programmers to become more than just glorified typists. Add to the discussion on Issues and Pull Requests, or join us on the Marlin Discord.
Marlin Schwag is also available so you can wear your Marlin pride β¦ wherever you reside!
