Dildos. Dildos everywhere.You fuckers are awesome, and I’m not being sarcastic or a douche.

It's a dildo in the style of a dildo, rather than dildos masquerading as other things.a "3D printed dildo" is redundant.
As it is, I have to arduinoISP the bootloader over beforehand, since the Melzi doesn't have a standard one that'll let me flash it with a USB cable, so vanilla as possible was going to be my first stop anyhow.Grab Marlin 1.1.9 from github. Grab the configuration.h and configuration_adv.h from the example configurations folder to start.

I'd compile the firmware as-is and blow it on the board, before you modify it to add BLtouch support.
Hey @Jehannum, what are the base settings you're going with for this thing? I just got a horrible benchy out of this thing. Didn't help that the x axis just jumped about an inch to the left halfway through, but the results prior to that were shit.That's the one I have. I have very few complaints.
Specifically:
1) the bed is levelled on 4 screws instead of 3, which is problematic for getting consistent tension on the bed levelling springs.
2) Because of 1, there's often subtle deformities in the bed (which is aluminum and thin)
3) the Y axis (front to back) is on a single 2020 rail instead of, as I would prefer, 2 of them.
4) the Y and Z axes are on some fairly soft rollers, with an eccentric bolt that tensions one on each side, so it's easy to deform the roller in a way that a) makes it difficult for the steppers to do their jobs, and b) can permanently deform the rollers making the platform unstable.
All of those things are readily fixable, and the print quality is pretty nice.
So, one of the big shortcomings out of the box is making sure the X, Y and Z axes have properly torqued rollers. Make sure that they don't let the bed or the hot end wiggle against a fairly firm shake, but also aren't deforming the rollers against the extrusions. Also crank the bed levellers down so that they're about half-way to full tension on the springs, and then adjust the Z stop accordingly.Hey @Jehannum, what are the base settings you're going with for this thing?
