• Format SD Card

    • FAT32

    • 4096 bytes (allocation)

    • Use PC only for formatting. MACs may cause error

  • Choose Firmware

  • BL Touch

      • This firmware is enabled for machines fitted with a BLtouch sensor. Start GCode will need to be added (to your slicer) to enable the probing system

      • 3x3, 4x4, etc. Refers to the size of the probing grid

      • HS stands for High Speed. Increases the speed of the probing.

  • Default - No Probe 

    • Basic firmware, contains no mesh or advanced leveling functionality

  • Manual Mesh

    •  Adds advanced manual leveling feature: moves nozzle to grid points, where the user determines the "level" of each point. Those data points are then used as a mesh for your printer to apply while printing. Similar operation to a BL Touch version without the added hardware but with more user-end operations.

  • UBL(unified bed leveling)

    • Can be used Manually or with BLTouch. Offers an advanced leveling system, ability to edit and tilt the mesh. Requires unique start GCode

  • G32/N32

    • Refers to the chip in your motherboard.

    • STM32 and GD32 chips use G32 firmware

    • N32 chips will use N32 firmware

  • Download the  firmware (.Bin file) of your choosing 

  • Place the firmware (.Bin file) into the previously created folder named "firmware"

  • Eject SD card and insert it into your printer.
