  • BTT SKR mini E3 v3 : is Ender 3 firmware OK in an AnyCubic Mega Zero 2.0?
    1 project | /r/BIGTREETECH | 3 May 2023
    Just received a BTT SKR mini E3 v3 to replace the stock Melzi m/b for my AnyCubic Mega Zero 2.0, with a BLTouch add-on. I've got the hardware figured out (with some mods to connector types and some back-alley surgery to get it mounted), but I am really uncertain as to firmware. The AMZ subredit lists the v3 (see last row of table under "Boards") but doesn't have a specific firmware for the v3 on the repository. It says there should be one that would be, effectively, amz2_btt_minie3v3_bl_firmware.bin but that exists nowhere.

  • Mega Zero 2.0 with Marlin doesn't move X-Axis after homing
    1 project | /r/anycubic | 20 Apr 2023
    I already posted this issue on Github but figuered maybe someone here can help me. I added a BLTouch clone to my MZ2 and flashed the "amz2_melzi_bl_a2-2.0.9.3-kad1-firmware" image from here. After finally dialing in the Probe height and Z-Offset i wanted to do my first print ith it. I ran the Auto-home and afterards the Bed-Levelling. Hoever hile the screen indicated a movement on the X-Axis, the Stepper didn't move at all and another homing resulted in the printer saying homing failed and to please reset it. so i did, homing went fine but afterwards the X-Axis didn't move yet again. neither in levelling nor manually. after another reset i can manually control it just fine, but after levelling its done for. idk know what to do anymore

    I ended up just converting my whole setup from kad/Marlin + octoprint to Klipper + Mainsail. It took me a few days to figure out all the intricacies, getting macros and my slicer setup. I've finally got it all working this morning and holy moly it's like I have a new printer. Highly recommend to anyone who's not using Klipper to upgrade. And it didn't cost me anything but time.

    Hey, I added a BLTouch to my MZ2 a couple months ago. I used the firmware from this repo, as it's specifically for Anycubic Mega Zero printers.

    Big Tree Tech probably has a basic configuration for the Octopus on their github. For additional settings you could take a look at KAD Mega Zero 1.0 and 2.0 releases for printer information.
