    For whatever reason the very latest release doesn't have the F4 binaries but there is a september release that does.

    I can’t upload pics in comments , just realized lol but if you go to this link https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1 and go to the release page and scroll down to assets .. the F4 version is not there 😭

    Custom firmware, I think this is what I used, https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1

    If you have a plane v2 (no neo, no max, just v2) the software is already configured for that printer (i have a v2 neo so i had to change some settings). Here you will have the main page and click on "latest release" then just look the version that suits you better (MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ONE FOR YOU MOTHERBOARD) and by following the configuration guide you are pretty much good to go. After all that make sure to tweak your slicer too if needed because some times the configurations are different (in my case i had to change my bed size in the printer and in the slicer).

    Have a look at https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1/wiki/How-to-update-the-display I had an Ender 3 V2 with a TJC display that needs a special compile to display the numbers. You can find the specially compiled firmware bin's here: https://github.com/mriscoc/Special_Configurations/releases/tag/tjc

    EDIT: For anyone with the same problem as me just leave it alone for a few days and then redo the installation guide in the wiki (https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1/wiki/How-to-generate-a-gcode-preview)
  • Sprite Extruder Calibration - Homing issues

    PID tuning - Using Pronterface and the M303 command, I get "PID Autotune failed! Bad Heater id". Searching on this one I found the man himself mention " using an MPC version of the firmware, so there is no PID for the extruder". The firmware I used is an MPC version - so I need to run the MPC autotune instead. I cant run it as I can't home the head.

    I have also tried this solution, I've tried flashing firmware and compared my configurations to precompiled configs, with no success. The firmware I have flashed is from the mrisco September release.
