I've tried the following

M355 S1
M42 P4 S255

Neither switch the LED lights on.

Anybody had any success with this?

I tried to update firmware from 1.2 to 1.5 from anycubic site. After update and restart I tried to align the bed, went to go to home menu and print head immediately went to the right, crashed into the right pillar and got stuck there while making a horrible screeching noise.

I did try reading up on knutwurst vs davidramiro / marlin etc, but I then I realized that I just don't have a spare life to invest into this thing.

While I do applaud all of you that successfully invested your time into 3D printing, I would very much appreciate a hint if it's even possible to flash this anycubic back to stock function, or if the micro step motor is already ruined.

Dear friends,

we have finished developing one of our own software versions called “PointShape™ Inspector”, and wish to share this information with you.
PointShape™ Inspector is a Stand-alone software that can handle several hundred million points.
You can now simply install it to any regular spec computer without any other CAD program and it performs excellently for inspecting application.
PointShape Inspector is fully capable of importing all major CAD programs, raw data and therefore reducing manpower expenditure and cost with a simple workflow.
• Precise Quality Management Process
• CAD program Compatibility (Siemens NX, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER)
• Export Quality Management Report

The Key Features are as the following:
- Best Fit (Scan to CAD)
- Mesh Creation
- Mesh Edit
- Deviation : whole / section / point
- Native CAD Format Support
- CAD to Mesh
- 2D, 3DMeasurements
- 3D GD&T
- Report Creation : PDF, Excel

A couple of weeks ago, Modefreakz, told me the best Firmware for the "da Vinci mini w" is the Version 1.2.9

In his Database alle the Versions from 1.0.4 to 1.3.7 are listed.
https://my.hidrive.com/share/lf3olqvb3u … ini%20w%5D

After installing the 1.2.9 I recognized that this doesn't support WLAN. When I download to 1.1.9 the WLAN is back again, but it all has one issue.
The Tags registrated in the 3D Printer are not working anymore. It get error 0028_1 or it is display the following error (Your current filament has been temporarily suspended ?!?)

So at this moment I have only 2 virgin tags which I don't want to lose for an Upgrade/Downgrade test!

Has someone tested more of this Firmware files and can tell me which are working very well with USB & WLAN. The Issue with Firmware 1.3.9 is that I have error 0061 every second Print. This is very frustrated. XYZPrinting want to sell me a new Mainboard :-(

Because I have only a limit count of Tags I don't want to loose the connection the all my other tags.

I wasn't sure if this should go in Projects or Software & Firmware. Since i suspect it's a configuration issue, I'll try here first.

I'm somewhat new to 3D printers, but have built a CNC router before. I am in the process of completing a fairly large 3D printer. It uses the Azteeg X3 Pro printer controller. All of the axes are functioning, as well as the limit stops and extruder temperature. I cannot get the hotend to heat, and I suspect it's a problem with my configuration but have not been able to figure it out. When I use Repetier Host to try to manually heat the hotend, I get a decoupled error and nothing will work any more until reset/M999.

Here is my configuration.h file and my wiring of the Azteeg X3 Pro. Please excuse the rat's nest, I will do the wire management once things are working. Thanks

I am Panos a student mechanical engineer and i have develop a 3D Printer firmware which i would like to share with all the community.

Well due to the quarantine i found the time to further develop my firmware and the results are pretty impressive.

Features of the Host controller 3DHex firmware:

-Curve detection algorithm with accel-decel (S-CURVE velocity profile) phase. All splitted to tiny lines curves by the slicer are
detected and the result is a very smooth motion.
-Real G02/G03 arc movements down to micrstepping accuracy with s-curve accel-decel
-Option to switching between trapezoid and scurve velocity profile
-Software correction of axis disalignments

You can find the source code on github and also download the setup.exe for a clean install. I have also attatched the setup.exe to this topic.
https://github.com/3DHexfw/3DHex

Also i have made an introduction video where i explain in depth what is going on behind the scenes

if you want to talk to me in personal you can send me on 3dhexfw@gmail.com

I saw the one guy The_Extruder who seemed to have some good ideas, but most of his links are dead, and it never seemed to get to the part about doing the work. just a bunch of discussion back and forth about the merits of his project.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to make this upgrade, so I don't add this piece of junk to the landfill? Seems like there's good parts, I can put to use, and have a decent printer from what people have been saying.

I am not an expert, but I'm not a novice either, so a little push in the right direction can probably get me all sorted out.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm using Marlin V1.1.5

I recently bought XYZ nano printer, which must be run from Windows. I don't have Windows and I don't want Windows, besides those made of glass. So naturally I tried VirtualBox to shield myself and my data as much as possible while still running XYZware. The problem is that my operating system  (Kubuntu) doesn't see anything connected to my usb, as if nothing is there. Therefore VirtualBox doesn't see it either.

Dual boot is not an option for me because I run HP notebook which does its hardest not to allow me grub.

I would rather not dedicate this computer to Windows as I only have one 64 bit machine available.
(I do have about 5 more notebooks and some Raspberries, but none other runs 64 bits nor is capable of handling my excessive Blender usage).

What can I do?
Thanks.
