Firmware 0.0.4

Hey zExperts can someone help me?

I tried to instal the 0.0.4 Version of the Firmware and it didn’t workted correctly.

First it tells me "update found" then it says "update done". Good so far.

Then nothing happens and when i restart the printer there is says just "Zortrax Bootloader V1" and nothing else happens. Even if i remove the sd card and restart again it always says the same.

I have Hardware Version 1.

Does someone can help me with this problem?

Best regards, Goette

@Goette please send email on support@zortrax.com

If I could make a suggestion... it would be great if the extruder heater could just stay on for maybe another 20 seconds or so after unloading...I usually have the new filament ready to go and this way I could immediately load the new one... right now I have to stand there holding the filament until the extruder temp has recovered.

I agree.. 20 seconds would would save me a few minutes of standing there..

It will be cool, if Z-Team will make it for us  :) Sometimes this is a little bit frustrated  :D

Olli,

On my printer it’s very close, too. The nozzle tip is just hitting the edge of the corner squares. A mm or two further over and it would not make contact. It’s weird that it is programmed this way…you would think the squares are big enough to hit them reliably on all printers.

Hi Andre,

thank you for your reply. The strange thing for me is, that it goes to the center and then also to the front left corner, when it starts to print. But in this case it goes nearly to the center of the contact surface of this corner and everything is fine. Why is this position not used for auto calibration also (beneath the other corners)?

Fortunately it seems, that nothing serious was damaged. The print came out in the nice Zortrax quality after I levelled the bed manually. :wink:

Best regards,

Olli

Problem solved. At most 4GB FAT32 32kb block size SD card. Any higher specs will not work for the update, but will do for printing.

Platform heating doesn't seem to work sometimes. I've walked away for 10+ minutes and come back to see the status hovering around 50%. Other times it'll get up to 90% and than slowly start going backwards. It seemed stuck around 92% and I switched back to firmware .3 and it completed heating quickly. Anyone else notice this?

Hi,

Do you know where I can find the 0.3 firmware ? Doesn't appear to be on the website...

I just asked the support by mail, waiting for a reply, but just in case...my printer is not booting with 0.4.

Thanks !

Its my backup of the 0.0.3 FW.

Thank you very muck Snakehessman, it works now.

I just received my printer and never had a chance to even try it, now i'm happy :)

Thanks !

But did you can update firmware on 0.0.4 version ?

I'm doing a first test print right now, i'll try to update again once it's done.

I sent a mail to support@zortrax.com, request ID:#1694 for the specifics, i'll update when i try again.

If you'll have problem with update, just send email to our support and they send to you fixed firmware.

OK I will, thank you for your quick replies.

Now 0.0.8 is out and automatic pause still doesn't work... is this perhaps a firmware issue?

This is pure PC software problem. I think something is wrong when Z-Suite meet some system configuration/locale configuration because here it working on 10/10 computers, also for most of customers.

So everyone for who software pause don’t working please provide information as:

Operating system.

Locale configuration (US ?)
