Hello,
I just upgraded to the latest firmware for Dual E3d extruders.
don't get me wrong the new G-create features are very nice especially the self leveling done once and stored, is awesome.
however, it has been an absolute nightmare,
1- LCD goes blank and sometimes shows some weird Chinese characters
2- sometimes if unhook the machine from the PC it goes blank until I connect the USB to the PC again, of course this happen not during printing
and still blank even after turned off and on again
3- sometimes it drops the extruder temperature after printing starts and freezes, I believe it is a safety feature but not sure why the extruder drops in temperature, there is nothing wrong with it, since later it works fine
4- sometimes it stops printing and I see the G-code running super fast and the machine is stationary (video uploaded)
5- when printing from PC directly, I never print from SD, the screen is blank but still work!!!!
these issues are happening very often and the blank screen is always the case during printing, there are no dead pixels on the screen itself and as I said sometimes no issues with it.
it acted this way with both Simplify3D and Repetier-Host
My machine is 2 years old, again it is a G-max 1.5+ dual extruder with E3D extruder, with optional heated bed and BLT touch, all the upgrades were purchased from G-create, no third parties involved,
this is a great machine and it is mechanically solid and reliable however these issues are not acceptable, it seems like firmware issues but I could be wrong.
any comments are welcomed,
thank you
jean
