Prusa (the 3d printer maker) seems to think otherwise: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/releases/tag...

Not open source? Odd, as I just read it's source code. Are you referring to licensing, ability to modify and compile yourself, or some else?

Did you use Prusa Link/Connect to upload the gcode? If so it looks similar to an issue reported by others where the gcode is getting corrupted. You can try putting files on the USB manually and printing from that as a temporary fix. May be helpful to take a look at this reddit thread or this github issue.

The github issue on it is worth reading to see just how poorly Prusa have handles this: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/677
Why do I get this message when I try to print with input shaper? I've updated my firmware and using the latest slicer.

Is 4.7 just the latest stable and I instead need this one?

Wow 100%. This actually pretty bad bug has been open for months with really no input from PRUSA other than “oh, wow that sucks. We’ll …uh… look into it.” https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/2997

I need you people to tell me if I'm an idiot or not, could I not just print a direct drive bracket and mount this to it? Seems so much easier than spending $100 on amazon for a kit

Maybe Prusa issue 602 can be somewhat relevant... https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/602
Distracting layer lines with new every feature
1 project | /r/3Dprinting | 5 Dec 2023

I’m aware that I have issue #602 going on here... But has anyone else experienced these more-obvious layer lines showing up whenever a new feature in the model is started? See the lines continuing along the walls that correspond with the steps and even the rear hole.

MK3S with Revo 6
1 project | /r/prusa | 25 Jun 2023

Now comes thermal modeling which has issues with Revo 6. I completed steps 5-16 on Github (see https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/4105). This eliminated almost all the Revo 6 issues associated with thermal modeling. I would always get a beep and "Thermal Anomaly" warning on the LCD. Not a fatal printer error but annoying.
