XL firmware 6.4.0 alpha

The alpha 6.4.0 firmware causes big head crash. Also it not possible to make the printer quiet, the phase stepping motor calibration  doesn't work properly. As a result i have reloaded the 6.2.6

Known issue. Several issues related to head crash logged on Github. Why they didn't detect that before releasing the firmware is beyond me.

Perhaps the beta version will be better. Personaly i wait for the official version because i Had 3 head crashes and the belts  screamed.

Yeah, I had the belts actually ripped out of their holders...

It is telling (in several ways) that they moved from alpha to RC (no beta for reasons unknown to mankind) for other models but NOT the XL (and some others). I'm sure they're working on it but given how many reports there are on Github I wonder if they actually ever tested the alpha on an XL… Very disappointing.

Same here.  I am having the same problem too.  

Even when using a single tool head, mid print it will skip the belts.   Now the job is ruined by the rehome process.  The layers are off center.

Had to go back to previous firmware.

It seems that version 6.4 of the software has a toolhead collision issue. After updating to 6.4, I also experienced frequent collision alarms during the toolhead docking process after prints were completed. Upon checking, I found that the issue occurs when the printer homes and purges the tool at the beginning — it makes an unusual noise and the homing position becomes misaligned. All of these problems disappeared after I downgraded the firmware to version 6.26. Try downgrading the firmware and see if the issue is resolved

I sure am thankful I am not the only one who is having this issue. Anyone having bed leveling issues now?? This thing is now trying to take 21 leveling measurements along with 5-10 small ones inside of those 21 and its taking 30mins. Then after it takes the measurements it fails. I have never had this issue unless a big glob of goo was stuck on the end of the nozzle. Anyone else??

Just incase anyone else is having issues with this I just talked to Prusa and yes they are having issues with the same things. I went back to the 6.2 firmware and all the problems "so far" have gone away.
