So Who Has Broken Their 'Fuse' and is Compiling Their Own Firmware?

As title. Anyone compiling their own Mini firmware yet?

Any downsides other than the warned loss of warranty?

Any advantages?

Honestly I am not a programmer and as such I do not modify and compile my own source codes on my own. I may break it it later in printer's life after warranty is gone, in case I'll want to install some officially not supported mod requiring custom FW.

I think there are not many Minis in the wild right now. PR is working hard to update the firmware and it's happening too much there. From the github pull requests I don't see community members involved.

My prediction was/is that with the "Fuse"-step a lot less community people will make modifications in the firmware. As long as we don't know how their "Developer-Program" will look like, it's not attractive to make any effort to improve buddy board or PR firmware. As of now I would rather go with BTT SKR mini board and Marlin firmware.

I have been making modifications to the firmware in the past (MK's) to fix small problems until it got fixed in the official release. But as the fuse thing is un-reversable I will stop doing that. Even if I go for a standard release after a test, the fuse will still be broken...

Have a look at my models on Printables.com 😉
