I do not know what version RAMPS this runs on. I know my V2 came with RAMPS 1.4, and the stainless FDG, so I have never used this particular firmware. I simply downloaded it to be complete.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the firmwares John, I have the later revision oneup , either v2 or v3 not sure. It has the Ramps 1.4, the stainless gear and the e3d V6 hotend. I have managed to flash it with the latest marlin and configured it best guess based on the firmware I found for the oldest ones on Github, and it prints "ok". This is a big help to get mine dialed in right. Thanks so much!
Still sorting out mechanical issues anyway. I've rebuilt the Y-drive completely at this point so it's solid but X still has a lot of wobble, you can see the ringing in a calibration cube. After tightening up the gantry with new printed pieces I found that I needed a shorter belt. It's not the easiest thing finding a custom length GT3 belt so for now i've cut and stapled the original belt. The problem with that is the teeth are pretty worn down so that's where a lot of the slop is at this point. I've found also that now that the gantry is tight that the z-rods want to sway back and forth when it gets to printing. The fix for that is probably going to be really slow printing speed or reprinting my extruder and carriage to be a little lighter; might not have been the best idea to print them at 80% infill!
