OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater VS Marlin_Ender3v2

After reading some more seems like you CAN do it, but I was either too scared or didn't know about it in Mid-2021

Firmware Updater Useful for flashing firmware to printer without having to use sd card. Frees up an sd card for me

I have 2 skr 1.4 turbo boards and before I switched to klipper I always updated my firmware using the firmware updater plug in for octoprint. On the github page it guided you through setup for that board family. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I followed the install instructions from this link. I installed the python 3 compatible version of heat shrink.

Method 3 (Through Octopi) - I installed Anaconda to download the firmware updater for Octopi found here (https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/) but cannot install it through the command line. I get "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.". Tried upgrading pip to no avail.

if you have an Raspberry pi you can try https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I'm not sure if this OctoPrint plug-in works with the neptune 2 but it's worth a shot. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

You need a plugin called Firmware Updater.

Only if you already have Binary File Trainsfer setting enabled in Marlin. So you might be stuck since that's not normally enabled. But when it is enabled, it does work. I only update via octoprint anymore. https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/doc/marlinbft.md

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
