Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

Flashed the upgrade. Re-calibrated, Live Z change a little bit, but everything is working as advertised. No problems here.

Proud owner of a Mk3 that is producing very nice prints. There is room for improvement as I learn more about it, but so far I am very happy.

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

Hello everyone,

I just flashed the 3.3.0 firmware to my MK3 and have issues with language selection. During setup, these messages show up. And I'm not able to change the language to different one at all. Flashed back to 3.2.1 and everything is OK. Is that a problem with the current build or do I have some problem with just mine printer?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Bare

Having the exactly same issue, also i wasn't able to flash via latest Slic3r version: it says writing.... verify.... and then "flashing failed". Flashing via the old software did work.

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

Just another entry: I can also not update my MK3 to the 3.3.0 firmware. Not via Slic3r and not via the designated tool from Prusa (Firmware Updater V2 program). Mk2.5 is giving no issues.

I opened an issue on github here: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/896

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

After running slic3r PE beta Linux version with root privileges, the updater is able to partialy install 3.3.0 fw, but still the same message on the printer after update "External SPI flash W25X20CL no responding". Also an error message in slic3r fw updater.

As I said in my previous post, I'm unable to complete install of 3.3.0 fw, nor with slic3r PE linux, nor with octoprint, nor with the old fw updater on Mac, returning to 3.2.1 is successfull anytime.

In my assembly manual I noticed that there are two EINSY RAMBo boards they named A and B, I have the A version, maybe a relationship ?

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

Gotta ask, what is the X/Y/Z correct for under calibration? Is there a calibration coming for them?

Isn't anyone going to answer this? I have the same question. I see nothing in the release announcement regarding it.

Thanks, I think in the crush of responses it may have been missed. So far I have had no issues with the firmware, I know I don't need to but I re-did all the calibration anyway.

Tried with last slic3rPE 1.40.1+Linux, same message on the printer after flashing, but not the same output message in fw updater log.
It seems to me that the process goes wrong when avrdude is using arduino programmer after the successfull first step using wiring programmer.

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

Is anyone else seeing that filament is not counting while printing?

can anyone take a look at statistics while printing and let me know if i am the only one having this happen?

bumpity bump... anyone?

I get "? m", but I think maybe because my filament sensor is turned off (because I'm printing a clear PETG, which seems to confuse the filament sensor). Have you confirmed that your filament sensor is turned on? Or, in your case, maybe the filament sensor can't read black filament properly?

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

It's not filament sensor who counts filament - sensor just looks for runout. Quantity should be calculated in firmware. And, yes, i have all zeroes, too. So, i guess it's FW's fault. I believe it was mentioned in RC somewhere already, but obviously mislooked...

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

Yes I have the same problem, zero on filament counting since upgrading to 3.3.0 firmware.
I've also had a build where the build time was negative.
Not counting down to zero but counting down from zero but even that was screwy as this was after 12 hours and 19 minutes.

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

When I start Simplify3D v4.0, I get the following info when the software connects to the MK3...

Anyone know what that unknown command is referring to? I read that the firmware needs to be installed after the driver updates, so I re-installed the drivers to the latest version, then re-flashed the firmware. No change in the "Unknown command" message.

Re: Firmware 3.3.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3

When I flash the 3.3.0 firmware, the bed won't heat. Everything else seems to work. If I revert to an older firmware, the bed heats.
I have done this both by downloading the hex file and by downloading the source and compiling it on my computer. Same result!
