New Features:

  • Update Codebase to Marlin 2.1.2.2 (Thanks @stklcode !)

Bugfixes:

  • Fix ignored z endstop when only one endstop is used (thanks @hostops !)
  • Fix continue button behavior after pause or filament runout (thanks @uwetaz !)
  • Fix 'lack of filament' message not displayed when filament runs out (thanks @uwetaz !)
  • Fix homing issue when using two endstops (thanks @stklcode !)

❤️ I would like to once again thank everyone involved! You are great! ❤️

Known Issues:

  • The built-in leveling of the 4MAX Pro does not work yet. Use the 4-point-easy leveling and mesh leveling via the special menu instead.
  • The Mega Pro BMP Laser feature is not (yet) supported. Use the M3 Spindle/Laser feature instead.
  • The Nozzle temperature can only be set over 260°C via gcode and not the Touchscreen. This issue can not be fixed.
  • The gcode filetransfer via Wifi is pretty slow due to to hardware limitations.

How to Install:

  1. Follow the Beginner's Guide which is also available in german as "Einsteiger Leitfaden".
  2. Read the FAQ which can also be found in the Wiki.
  3. If you own a MEGA S or MEGA PRO, set your Bed size in your Slicer to these values.
  4. Use Cura, PrusaSlicer or xLoader to flash the Firmware to your Printer.

Important: Be sure to select "LOAD FW DEFAULTS" and "SAVE EEPROM" via Special Menu after updating! *

*You may not have to reset everything.
However, the prerequisites for this are difficult to tell, which is why I wrote something this topic here in english and here in german.
