MAY 2024 Rev.1

Continually updating with Marlin bugfix-2.1.x

⬂ List of recent updates ⬃

What's new in this release

Version: 2.1.3f-5-ender3-1

⍟If you have not yet updated your LCD by flashing the new DWIN_SET (updated since: November Rev.1), please do so now!⍟


  • BTT SKR Mini E3 V3 / V2 / V3.0.1 finally supported for ProUI - (4.3" Stock Aquila/Ender-3V2 Color LCD)
    • If you have a TFT or other display, you can request firmware *.bin files to be made, or compile your own
  • BIQU MicroProbe V2.0 is now supported with file ending in "-MP" suffix

    • How to install the firmware

    This is a universal firmware that has been optimized and enhanced for both the Voxelab Aquila and Creality Ender-3 V2/S1. This is based on MriscoC's Professional Firmware for the Creality Ender-3 V2/S1. This particular build release is for the LCD color displays of Creality Ender-3 V2/S1 or similar variant. If you are using a Voxelab brand screen or experience the encoder knob direction backwards, you can try the Aquila build here.


    Tip

    To update the firmware, choose the file ending in .bin and place it in your SD card:

    (You may need to rename the file if reinstalling or if it doesn't flash the first time)

    • For a Creality board, put it in the root folder of the drive
      Or unless otherwise specified

    Important

    🚩
    To use this version, you must✶ update the DWIN_SET to the LCD screen. New ICON's have been added, and others were remastered.

    1. Choose a DWIN_SET from the "display assets" folder
    2. Copy it to the root of an SD card
    3. Remove the name in ( ) from the folder
      e.g. "DWIN_SET (Original)" => "DWIN_SET"
    4. Open the back of the LCD, insert the card📲
    5. Turn on power, wait until the screen goes Blue🔵 to Red🔴
    6. Turn off, remove card⤵. Good to go!✅

    ✶ technically you don't have to reflash the new DWIN_SET, but some ICON's will be missing if you do not.


    Warning

    🚧Please be aware of the following:

    ⚠️Previous Gcode Preview Thumbnails issue has been FIXED! Thank you @Nazar78 for your help.

    While using _BLT- or _MM- versions, if you encounter the bed Mesh not saving...
    This workaround resolves the issue without having to redo the mesh again.

    1. Build Mesh (first time)
    2. Save Mesh
    3. After any time you Power Off and Power On -->
      3a. Go to Control/Advanced Settings/Load Settings
      -OR-
      3b. Load this into your Start Gcode
    G28 ; Home
M501 ; Load settings
M420 S1 ; Pull your mesh bed level
;(Remaining Gcode / Start Print)>>>

    If you experience this issue as it starts printing --> Mesh leveling data is drawing over the printing screen
    Go to Slicer Gcode Scripts


    Note

    ⍰ The follow may apply to you if the mainboard chip supports 256KB max

    Note ➀: Due to lack of flash memory space in the Aquila's GD32/N32|F103RCT6, some features had to be disabled in the ProUI of UBL and BLT versions, including, but not limited to:

            Configuration.h
    -----------------------------
  • HOST_KEEPALIVE_FEATURE
    • Sends a busy status message to the host
  • PREHEAT_2_LABEL
    • 'ABS'
  • PREHEAT_3_LABEL
    • 'Warmup'
  • G26_MESH_VALIDATION
    • G26
  • NOZZLE_CLEAN_FEATURE
    • G12 P<#> S<#> T<#>
  • HAS_LOCKSCREEN
    • Simple lockscreen
  • ACTIVATE_MESH_ITEM
    • Active Mesh Leveling menu option

         Configuration_adv.h
    -----------------------------
  • POWER_LOSS_RECOVERY
    • Continue Print after Power-Loss
  • M114_DETAIL
    • Use 'M114' for details to check planner calculations
  • CANCEL_OBJECTS
    • Use 'M486' to allow Marlin to skip objects
  • AUTO_REPORT_POSITION
    • M154 S<seconds>
  • EXTENDED_CAPABILITIES_REPORT
    •      > M115_GEOMETRY_REPORT
    M115 output
  • REALTIME_REPORTING_COMMANDS
    • Report position and state of the machine

    Note ➁: The latest releases are promoting UBL versions over ABL (BLT - BL Touch), but ABL/BLT versions will be available. MPC autotune is available for the hot-end as a replacement to PID autotune.


    📚Versions

    You can download the firmware's latest files from the Assets at the bottom of
    the release page.

    UBL Information

    Binaries with UBL in their filename are similar to the bilinear leveling of BLT, but with extra features to provide users with more control and information. There are multiple guides about UBL, it's recommend reading about it before using this type of leveling system.

    Special versions

    These are the special configurations offered:
    (List of file prefixes and suffixes)
    • [ -ProUI ]
      | ProUI | (ProUI ENABLED)
      Toolbar, Gcode model preview, and other special features and options
    • [ -NoPro ]
      | No ProUI | (ProUI DISABLED)
      Does not have some features listed, but may include others not enabled in ProUI - see NOTE above
    • [ -IS ]
      | Input Shaping | Only if you mean to do the initial calibration
      (May require a special breakout board or test prints (similar to Linear Advance), more information below)
    • [ -MPC ]
      | MPC Autotune | (replaces PID for hotend)
    • [ -MP]
      | BIQU MicroProbe V2.0 | (alternative to CR/3D/BL/-TOUCH)
      • Use ONLY this firmware ending in "-MP" if you DO have this probe
    *Reminder: Do not use `Input Shaping` (file ending with -IS) unless you do the necessary calibration. Prints will be effected.

    Related Information

    • All firmware version types have Linear Advance enabled
      Linear Advance - M900
    • Input Shaping is enabled with files ending with "-IS"
      Input Shaping - M593
    • MPC is enabled in firmware files containing "-MPC"
      Model Predictive Temperature Control
      • MPC has proven to be a better algorithm for keeping the nozzle temperature stable, and is also very useful for high power heaters. It does take some getting used to how it works if you are unfamiliar with it. It's recommended for advanced users, so stick to the default PID versions, especially if your printer is relatively stock

    Firmware files not yet posted under Assets may be available at a later time.
    Feel free to make a request for anything specific.

    You can still use this source code to compile firmware for other printers, but they will not be able to use the Professional User Interface without the specific LCD screen. In that case, you rather use the most current Marlin source code. You may also modify your printer to meet these requirements.
