    As it is a Creality board then Jyers might be better or even Mriscoc as it is more up to date.

    While trying to setup my printer for my 3D-touch following this https://youtu.be/cwB8G8az1I0?t=345 , I encounterd the issue you can see in the Video. Im using the Firmware E3V2-BLTouch-5x5-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin from https://github.com/Jyers/Marlin/releases. I also can't move the z-axis down by using the move option in the menu, up is working. Reverting back to the old/original version of the Firmware everything works like it used to.
  • Correct firmware for a CR-touch and filament sensor
    2 projects | /r/ender3v2 | 10 Apr 2023
    I recently bought an Ender 3 v2. I installed the creality CR-Touch and creality filament sensor. I have no idea which firmware I am suppose to choose. The video I was following for the filament sensor installation says to install jyers marlin firmware. However, there are so many build options I am unsure which one to choose. I know I am supposed to choose one that says BLTouch, but which one do I choose which as the BLTouch and filament sensor in the firmware. Any help would be appreciated.

    Step 1: Download the correct firmware for your board version… either jyers or my fav mriscoc Step 2: Change the file name to firm20230401.bin (it can be anything shorter than 20 characters and never use the same name twice if installing again later) Step 3: Copy and paste the file to the SD card Step 4: Insert card into printer and turn on. This will install the new firmware Step 5: Once installed, turn off the printer, remove the SD card and put it back in computer Step 6: Delete the file from the SD card Step 7: Enjoy functional printer
