Bugs in official Firmware

Hey fellow Proforgers, here I want to list the bugs in the official firmware. Please add yours, if you find some.

First of all, I find it a bit irritating that you only get the .bin file and not the full firmware. They surely have it and it would make life with this printer so much easier!

These were the following mistakes I found:

- X, Y and Z Axis are inverted

- Temperature is very sure false (180°C smells very burned

- when loading and unloading, the Bed goes up like 4cm before the filament comes out!!! (Should be the inverted Z-Axis)

- when started the error „failed to enable Bed Leveling“ pops up on the screen

the rest seems to be working fine…

Hello i could download the original firmware and recompile it to correct the inverted axes, so far all working fine! I am now printing a 3D benchy, will post update once finished

Hi Frederik,

Just wondering if you have fixed the X, Y and Z Axis being inverted? I have the same problem and was wondering if it was a wiring issue or firmware?

Cheers,

Luke

@Frederik Weis Managed to fix the issue needed to do a little bit of tinkering with firmware! But we are nearly at the point to print! Have you managed to set up a slicer to start printing yet?

@Luke Westwood where was the problem? In terms of slicer: I started with an ender 6 profile and currently I‘m working through the calibration website of the amazing YouTuber „Teaching Tech“, although I think waiting for the tuned profile of makertech should be the best option, as it should be released „soon“ :D

@Frederik Weis In all honesty, I am not sure. I have compared the firmware you provided and my own and they are similar. I may have just unticked one thing but I did need to go back in as I had some issues with my Filament Sensor! I will be using Teaching Tech git hub too! I used it heavily with my Ender 5 and it helped me get good quality prints!

Answer from Makertech:

Thank you for your contribution.

Motor directions should be correct, they are working fine on our set-up, please double-check your wiring.
Temperature was calibrated with an external thermocouple, it should be correct, some burning smell is normal on first heat up.
PID should be correct too, but has been re-tuned. PID was tuned with fans at 100%.
Bed Levelling error on start up is normal, as no bed levelling has been performed yet.

Marlin source has been added, feel free to make adjustments if your axes' are inverted.

sounds great! :-)
