Firmware Update

Just curious
When I do a firmware update on the Mk3S (mine is fresh out of box with v3.5.3) do I need to
put the printer back through the calibration stuff again? I'm sure it wouldnt hurt...?

Re: Firmware Update

So I updated Firmware and it stated it failed. Looked at the printer and it shows the new version loaded. Rebooted printer and its still shows new version. Basically the error indicated that there was a timeout connecting to printer.
In the past with my RC stuff I have had similar issues with connecting to boards.
I re-calibrated everything again, did another Batman test print and moved onto a print I designed.
So it seems ok at the moment probably a driver thing on my Laptop since I have multiple Com port items
I loaded drivers for in the past.
Seems the updated firmware also prints a bit nicer too 🙂

Re: Firmware Update

Improved prints / improved performance, are what you would expect from a new firmware.
