Marlin_Ender3v2 VS mainsail

From what I'm reading, mriscoc's firmware appears to be a bit more polished and offers even more features than Jyers. Have a look at their page - https://github.com/mriscoc/Marlin_Ender3v2/releases/latest From what I'm reading you can change the bed dimensions via gcode command and also in the advanced settings menu. I'm going to try this route despite having already downloaded all the software to compile my own jyers firmware..

Download the bin file from here https://github.com/mriscoc/Marlin_Ender3v2/releases/latest.

By any chances are you using the Jyers firmware? Because that firmware works horrible with a lot of probes. Try the Professional Firmware, I never had a probe crashing problem with that one.

Once you tram the bed, are you doing a mesh? I use UBL (Unified Bed Leveling) to do a 15x15 mesh that takes approximately 225 points of readings. If you are using Jyers firmware, which I highly recommend) or Professional firmware by mriscoc, both rimwares based on Marlin but are more rich in features than the base Marlin firmware, you can view the mesh on your display and see where the high/low spots are. The mesh can be saved to your EEPROM and used without having to redo the leveling process all the time. This is, of course, providing that your bed is not shifting and you wait for the bed to cool down before removing the prints so it doesn't mesh of the leveling. I am not sure about the Professional firmware (because I don't use that one) but I do know the Jyers firmware has a bunch of precompiled .bin files for all the boards and for many different configurations.

I am using a modified Jyers firmware from here: https://github.com/mriscoc/Marlin_Ender3v2

i use https://github.com/mriscoc/Marlin_Ender3v2 and i am very happy with it

Klipper is awesome and once it’s installed and up and running I can control my printer via my LAN network and upload STL’s and control the printer using the Mainsail Web interface. https://docs.mainsail.xyz

I prefer Klipper. It requires another computer (such as a raspberry pi) but it is so much easier to modify and make changes. It also has built in leveling functions and other great benefits. https://docs.mainsail.xyz/ https://www.klipper3d.org/

It's https://docs.mainsail.xyz/

My recommendation if your just setting up: do yourself a huge favor and do not use OctoPrint. Instead I recommend using Mainsail of Fluidd. They’re both great web interfaces designed specifically for Klipper. Very fast, lightweight and take advantage of all available Klipper functions. Octoprint is very resource hungry.

Convert that thing to a corexy via Mercury One, throw a Stealthburner on it, and get yourself a raspberry pi to run Klipper/Mainsail.

In the past I used OctoPrint, but now I moved to Mainsail, because it has a better ui and some plugins are directly build in. You can install Kiauh and use it to install Mainsail or Fluidd next to OctoPrint.

Personally I prefer Mainsail. But Fluidd is also popular.

If you can get ahold of a Raspberry Pi, MainsailOS is a prebuilt sd card image that has everything preinstalled.
