Members chrisash Posted November 23, 2021 Members Report Posted November 23, 2021 Just upgraded my ender 3 to the new 32 bit board and all seems to work well except the instructions on applying the Z offset, using the latest creality maplin with cr bed leveller Go to auto home and moves to centre and takes measurement Move nozzle over the same spot as the cr measure probe Lower z axis to paper thickness Enter difference into z offset Bloody thing either tries to scrape bed or misses by 2 mm Any one have a idiots guide using the latest software Thanks Chris Quote

I would check www.reddit.com and see if there is a forum for the Ender 3. I know there is one for the Ender 5. This link may help with setting the Z, (3dprintscape.com/guide-to-install-a-bltouch-on-a-creality-32-bit-mainboard/) I do have a question why did you decided to try and upgrade to a 32 bit board? kgg Quote
Members chrisash Posted November 24, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 24, 2021 I wanted a bed levelling system and understood the quality of print was superior than the old 8 bit version plus built for the BL, so it seemed the obvious thing to change both at the same time along with latest software. ir does run silent now which is good but cannot level the z offset is annoying but assume not unsolvable, but like life in general we all want to play with new toys straight away yet computers often fail to live up to expectations during installation Quote
Members chrisash Posted November 24, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 24, 2021 OK found the problem hidden among the settings was the option to turn on the Eprom whatever that is and it worked Many thanks Quote
Members chrisash Posted November 24, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 24, 2021 Now I just have to sort out why the bloody fan on the Nozzle does not switch on. maybe a hidden switch Quote

Expand This maybe a firmware problem. It could be a broken wire or a wire / connector came loose during the upgrade. kgg Quote
