Ender 3 (Pro) Marlin 2.0 Upgrade - Updated Version

[@seattleitefpv]

Update for newer (4.2.7) boards: ** ARCHITECTURE/BUILD TARGET ** At 6:06 make sure you DO NOT select an Atmega architecture for the new "silent" boards! My board is version 4.2.7, and it uses a 32bit ARM F1 processor made by STM, not an 8bit ATmel processor. The correct target for it is STM32F103RET6_creality. ** MOTHERBOARD ** At 10:12, in Configuration.h, you need to change: "#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_CREALITY_V427" -- otherwise the stepper motors won't work at all and the auto-homing will quietly fail every time with an error message ("homing failed Printer Halted please reset"). Also, there is no specific target for boards version 4.2.2, so I suspect the correct motherboard target in that case is "#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_CREALITY_V4". ** FLASHING ** At 7:35 there is no need to mess with the USB upload process, especially since it can occasionally fail with frustrating COM errors. After building, simply copy the resulting firmware bin file (from .pio\build\STM32F103RET6_creality) to the SD card, and start the printer. This will initialize the firmware flashing process and the printer will update on its own. I HOPE THIS HELPS!

[@fataldischarge1061]

Thank you.

[@saint-andrejeremie3607]

Do you know if the 4.2.7 works with the CR-10 mini? Does 24v 32bits boards works with 12v power supply?

[@peterzagyva8548]

thank you you saved an aftrenoon for me

[@roshandeepak]

when I click on build it tells me that MOTHERBOARD BOARD_CREALITY_V427 is not compatible with the STM32F103RET6_creality build environment. I have to use any one of these STM32F103RE_creality, STM32F103RE_creality_xfer, STM32F103RC_creality, STM32F103RC_creality_xfer, STM32F103RE_creality_maple

Oh my gosh, your opening few sentences answered questions I was searching for hours to find!! The entire internet just assumes everybody is already a 3D printing wizard. Thank you very much for explaining everything step-by-step!!

[@petercallison5765]

Just a few months later and they have made enough changes you need to redo this. There are config files for ender 3 1.5 and Ender 3 4.2.7 but not for the Ender 3 4.2.2 which is what you are getting now in the Ender 3. I chose the 4.2.7 and the options are now different.

[@vegansynths7757]

This is by far the BEST and most DETAILED video on how to do this. I have a CR-10s and following this video was extremely helpful in how to do upgradge the Marlin Firmware, even though my machine isn't an Ender3. These instructions are very clear and cover any issues that may come up in the process. Thanks again!!!!

Thank you!. I never would have figured this out without your step-by-step guide.

[@EsChuy148]

Just a heads up for anyone using the links in the description, they have since been updated. You can still use the links, but use the drop down to select the bugfix version instead of the regular version (it directs there by default). The original release generates errors for some machines. For me it was an ender 3 using the 4.2.7 motherboard, the bugfix version works great!

[@owand5017]

Thanks!!

[@dantindall1718]

FYI, I followed your guide on the Ender 3 Pro I received this week. It arrived with the 1.1.4 standard Creality board and no boot loader installed. It did have their 1.1.6 firmware preinstalled, In your video you suggest that the 2.x versions will start having trouble fitting on the older boards the software continues to develop. I can confirm that as true as of this latest Marlin release. To get the basics to fit and only enable mesh bed leveling I had to also comment out the speaker setting as your blog post indicated it was not needed. This, along with the other settings you recommend commenting out allows 2.0.x to barely fit on stock Creality board. Thanks for the video and blog post.

[@cruftcreator]

Daniel, I appreciate your videos so much! some of the other printing youtubers I follow don't think about the every day hobby folks who watch.

I followed this exactly with the Ender Pro, using the 2.4.7 board. It kept failing to build. Had to go into the platformio file and designate the environment as "ARM32F103RET6_creality", then it loaded the appropriate files and worked great. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

[@jgore43]

Excellent video! I used all your marlin Ender 3 videos to do the upgrade. If you run into an issue with 2.0.5.x where your Ender 3 won't boot after flashing with the options enabled/disabled from this video, try freeing more memory. I found the package needs to be 99% or less of the available storage to boot properly. Went back to 2.0.4 and the instructions here work perfectly.

[@LittleRestraint]

Awesome video, the best I have seen. The only thing worth mentioning (in case anybody else struggles like me!) is that I kept getting errors about specifying the 'upload-port' or something...I took out the SD card from the machine and the upload worked. I also had minor issues with having to edit a line in the config file that has been changed in newer versions. I am using a nearly new Ender 3 Pro with the 1.1.5 board. Testing now, but seems great, and mesh leveling is brilliant!! Thank you, subscribed :)

[@Javii96]

Great tutorial, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out Mesh Bed Leveling, including doing a pull request to the Marlin Bugfix branch with my own code, and there is some unintentionally false information in this video. Mesh Bed Leveling (MBL) is automatically off when the printer boots up, and RESTORE_LEVELING_AFTER_G28 does NOT ENABLE the mesh after each home. It simply turns it on if it was on before the home command. What this means is- every time you turn your printer off, you will need to manually turn MBL back on. This is usually done in the GCODE of your prints, but you must add the command to each print which is quite annoying if you use a lot of different slicers and computers. The best option is actually UBL, you do not need a z-probe sensor, although most people seem to think you do for UBL. MBL can only go up to 7x7 grid and UBL can go up to 15x15. With UBL, you enable it, set the mesh values, save to eeprom, and never ever have to fuss with it again, it will always be on.

Great video! I've also watched your video about the pros and cons of installing Marlin 2.0. I have Ender 3 pro (new, just got it two weeks ago as a new hobby) and I do want to use the SD card feature as well as mesh bed leveling. I do not plan to replace the board or add auto bed leveling any time soon. Would you recommend using Marlin 1.19 instead of the 2.0 version?

[@Crosslink3D]

I think you won't miss out on anything super important if you use 1.1.9 but you can also use this hint to reduce the firmware size quite a lot: thborges.github.io/blog/marlin/2019/01/07/reducing-marlin-binary-size.html

Great video. Just a note that the link for the configurations file points to "Configurations-import-2.0.x" which contains several Ender 3 folders none of which worked for me. Downloaded "Configurations-release-2.0.5" from the Marlin site. This contained a single Ender3 folder as you described in the video Using those config files compiled and uploaded just fine.

[@bp33562]

I’m having the same problem, can’t figure it out

[@Crosslink3D]

Optiboot is a bootloader you may flash to your board with the Arduino IDE. melzi_optimized is a build option you can use to make your binary even smaller. In combination with the optiboot bootloader you can use larger binaries on your board. Both things are independent from each other. The melzi_optiboot you don’t need to use anymore, always go for melzi_optimized.

Do you happen to know how I can save the resulting complied to an sdcard that i can load on the printer at boot time?

[@michaelluger2127]

i think i found the firmware.hex file in ...\Marlin-2.0.x\Marlin-2.0.x\.pio\build\sanguino1284p subdirectory. Do I just need to copy that over to the microsd card and boot the ender-5 pro using that card?

[@Crosslink3D]

Sorry, it's not going to work that way apparently. New firmware needs to be uploaded through the USB port or a programmer device.

[@bryanwasnesky6554]

Im still having trouble. I followed this tutorial exactly but when I got to vscode none of the files were in the correct format.

I hear you, this is still way too complicated. That's why I am working on a project to make it much simpler.

on github under config/examples/creality/ender-3 there are 15 folders with config files. How do I tell which one to use?

[@gatosardinaful]

i just followed the steps here but on a cr 20 (using the cr 20 config files obv) but now the printer seems to not know where the origin is or does not seem to respond to the end switches when i select auto home, it will move downwards even if the Z switch is pressed then, it will move all the way to max positive of X and Y, and will attempt to continue moving when on the edges, not responding to me hitting either X nor Y switch any ideas? when i got the eeprom error i could either "reset" or "ignore", i selected reset, turned the printer off and on and did not get the error anymore

[@mallemeeuwmallemeeuw271]

thx voor your video. i followd your steps but i cant select the right inviorment. i have 3 options: 1 melzi 2 melzi_optimized 3 melzi_optiboot..? wich ones should i pick? or where did it go wrong? hope you can help me..

[@RyushoYosei]

Just to let you know, there is a separate file for the ender 3 pro now, with several sub folders.

[@krieger67333]

which folder do you use in there? i saw that too and got lost

[@predraggrbic2266]

It seems that things are bit changed 10 months later, there are bunch of different configurations inside examples > Creality > Ender-3, I really don't know which to choose and on what should I base my opinion.

[@Grumpyoldtwit]

I feel your pain. I tried Ender 3 Pro and there were 6 or so options. I chose Creality V1 and it wouldn't build. Then I went up to plain Ender 3 and chose Creality V1 again. This time it built OK, but it's a Melzi board, not a Sanguino 1289P board. My board says 'Creality V1.1.4'. Not sure if I should continue. I don't want to brick my printer... :-(

[@predraggrbic2266]

Done. :) If anybody having a problem with a port (disabled in Arduino IDE, or asking to set upload-port in VSCode) after flashing bootloader, just go and install CH340 drivers for your OS.

Oh YES! For sure, that is coming soon.

[@francksaillard1969]

Hello very good video thank you. But what are the options to activate if you have a Bltouch? Thanks for the answer.

[@Crosslink3D]

You can enable BLTouch very similar as in 1.1.9. I did not make a guide for this but I am working on it. Did you ever use the BLTouch with Marlin 1.1.9?

[@TheNecrowpharaoh]

Now what happens when you've done all that to a "t" and now the screen just goes blank when its powered on with the new firmware?

[@bgrutterdds]

Environments. Any guesses why I only get the option to choose between "melzi" and "melzi_optiboot"? No sanguino options for me.

[@Yurikyurik]

same here, what did you do?

Just download the normal version, (dont use the bugfix version) that's all

[@mikeneron]

Good timing as I just did this with the SKR Mini E3 v1.2 but ran into an issue with the mesh bed leveling as it would lose the saved mesh and settings if the printer was powered off twice. It would save after being powered off once, but not twice. So something goofy going on. Since I was using the firmware from the BigTreeTech github page (V1.2 folder) and making changes, I was planning on starting from scratch and getting the regular Marlin 2.0 firmware and making the necessary changes to see if the same thing happens. Also did you know that if you just install the Auto Build Marlin extension, it will automatically install PlatformIO IDE? No need to install separately.

I’ve just released a new video about how to use the bltouch with Marlin 2.0. it’s for the Ender 3 bit should be working with any printer (the hardware connection might of course be different but the firmware config is probably very simple to adapt)

Just installed Marlin 2.0 thanks to you. Seems to be printing great. One thing I noticed though was on the display there is a 100% displayed to the left of the progress bar. I assume that is the % of progress but it stayed at 100%. Is this an issue with just my printer or is it a glitch in the programming?

[@keithadams240]

I love watching your videos. I have a question that so far i have not been able to find a specifically answer for: I have the Ender 3 and I installed the Bigtreetech SKR Mini E3 Version 1.2 and have the Firmware Marlin Bugfix 2.0 x loaded. Before I install the BLTouch Version 1.3 is there anything else I need to do differently to make this work? I hear some say you just plug the cables into the board and enable the leveler. Of course I'm not sure what they mean by enabling...is that thru the Ender display so It's just a click or is there some firmware editing to be done? I have never done this stuff, so before I educate myself I thought to ask first.

[@kevinbroadley5422]

I too have just upgraded my other Ender 3 pro to the SKR Mini E3 v1.2 & have installed the the BL touch (V3)! Depending on what version of BL touch you have you may have to re seat some of the cables on the DuPont connector! I have installed one but am having trouble getting it work properly

I installed a bootloader and Marlin firmware 2 or 3 years ago on my Ender 3. I haven't used the printer in 2 years. When I got it out to use it again, it won't print. I think the firmware is corrupted or something. Since burned a bootloader before, do I need to do that again? Can I just use USB and reinstall Marlin? I think you explained this but I want to make sure I heard you right.

[@Orialconzero]

Melzi_optimized
