Dear Patrons,

Please see the link for this firmware source below. It assumes you are using a Creality board and a pin27 board with a V3 version of the BLtouch. Using this means yo don't need to remove the capacitor from the mainboard.

Thanks Michael! I'll give this a try and let you know how it goes. One thing I did notice, that hasn't been posted in the other groups, I have clearance issues with the factory fan once the pin 27 board is installed. Not sure if you have that issue or if others are, but thought I'd bring it up. Keep making great content!

Pierre Martel

Thanks Micheal. Can it also be used on a bltouch v2?

About the pin 27 board and the case top.

Glen Roe

I printed a new case top using filament Friday’s tinkercad one that relocates the fan. I also integrated a fan vent in my print. It’s a work in progress as I’m still learning tinkercad and need to add the screw holes for the fan in the print that end up hidden in the vent assembly.

Quick question, I am setting up to do the MKS Gen l conversion on my ender 3 with 2208 drivers and a BLTouch. Still waiting for the board and drivers but the BLTouch showed up the other day and it is a V3. I saw in your video that it still worked normally in the Tevo Tornado with the MKS in it, so I should still be set to use your pre done set of firmware correct? (thanks again for that!!)

Thanks! Would appreciate a youtube showing a main board update to get more space on the ender 5 if one is planned? also enclosing it for ABS. Loving the ender 5, thanks for the recommendation and fantastic videos

Hi Michael, thanks for the great videos and for the help pimping my ender. I am very happy with my new silent ender 3 mainboard. then Today I installed the bltouch with the firmware you posted in the video, I assume its the same fix. Since the firmware upgrade I am expierencing very heavy vibrations at movement change, the whole printer is shaking intensively. I runned it before with the stock firmware on the silent mainboard and it did not had the problem, I used google and it seems the same problem as this. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/a173gz/ender_3_upgraded_to_marlin_excessively_high/ I dont have octoprint or such, I tried to lower the accelerations in cura to 200. any idea what I can do to remove the heavy vibrations? Thanks

Teaching Tech

My advice would be the same as in that thread. Lowering the jerk and maximum feedrates would be my first suggestions. If you are not using Octoprint but want a terminal, download Pronterface (it's free). Connect via usb, alter the values and then save to eeprom.

Ralph Meertens

Thanks, I downloaded the TH3D version I was using before the upgrades, will use those settings. I assume it has nothing todo with the new silent stepper drivers that come on the board the 2208. Thanks again

Michael I have enjoyed your videos and thank you for your work in putting them together. in doing the Ender 3 Bltouch upgrade i have ran into an issue. I downloaded your marlin hex file and upgraded tested the Bltouch and it seems to work except i am unable to set the Z parameters, in the menu it will not adjust the Z step below 0 like to a negative number. when the auto probe is 10mm above the bed .

Teaching Tech

We are using the same hex so it must be parameters stored in the EEPROM (which stays in place after firmware flash). You can do an M502 to temporarily load the firmware parameters and see if that works. If you are happy then M500 to save the new ones including the Z offset.

Cole Chatterton

Michael newbie question here. So I have the ender 3 pro with the stock 1.1.4 board (non-silent) does this hex work with the pro? Also I have ordered the 1.1.5 silent version so will it work on that as well?

Teaching Tech

There are no firmware differences between the standard and Pro besides the word Pro on the status screen, so yes. If the 1.1.5 is like the 1.1.4, it will work with that too.

Clifford Borowicz

Is there a change log you can provide with this program so for future marlin updates we can apply the same changes?

Gary Clifton

Thank you for the help, that seemed to have fixed it. i rechecked the Bltouch height and found it off and corrected, would like to get the X calibration you used if possible...

Gary Clifton

one other question with the Bltouch addition should the springs be replaced with silicon or rubber spacers?

Teaching Tech

That's not a bad idea. From what I have seen these changes are now incorporated into the newer versions of Marlin.

Teaching Tech

There's only one printer I've needed to remove springs from. If you think it would help, maybe try compressing them fully first to test.

Teaching Tech

It shouldn't make a difference. I have heard complain about this before with TH3D. Luckily it's an easy fix.

Glen Roe

Old post but trying the bug fix .hex for the v3 and 3.1 BLT seems slowe probing and probing errors. I used the v2 video .hex file and removed the cap as shown in the v3 video and perfect! Same for 3 other installs on e3 and e3pros in my family. As originally asked and answers with the source code for the bugfix blt Marlin 1.1.9 to keep the cap, could you please post or send me the v2 .hex file source code? I would like to see the differences in your changes to use and not use the cap. I’m very happy with the no c7 cap and v3 BL touch probing snd would like to stay with it as long as I use Marlin 1.1.9. Thank you
