Topic: Newest Firmware, what is it?

I JUST installed Repetier FW (and loving it).  A week later I noticed that two of the bearing housings are cracked (while I was tracking down why my circles were oval). 

I wrote XYZ and they were decent about it, implying that as soon as I provide them some additional information - total hours used, a copy of my sales receipt, AND the latest firmware number. 

I'm not installing XYZ ware again to provide them that info.  The FW numbers aren't on their site any longer.

Can someone who has theirs updated let me know the FW version?

Thanks a lot,

d

Re: Newest Firmware, what is it?

I have 1.2.5 installed on mine (Da Vinci 1.0).

I'd be interested to hear more about your experience with Repetier firmware as I plan on making the change soon myself.

You should have someone print these replacements for you.

They are stronger and should not crack.

Re: Newest Firmware, what is it?

That was one of the first things I did when I had my printer dialed in...just in case, because XYZPrinting's customer service sucks ass.

If you have had your printer for 90 days, then your warranty is done.  XYZ will not do a damn thing for you on day 91 and beyond.

Re: Newest Firmware, what is it?

They refused to honor mine because I purchased my printer off of eBay. Cheap bastards.
