    • If you just did your first ever firmware install but it did not hurt, you're doing better than I did 🙂   My next suggestion would be "do a factory reset of the settings" - I'm guessing it's somewhere in the menus, I just couldn't tell you where.   Oh, and I only just realised I should mention, at least on the Ender-3 V2 Neo (which comes with a CR-Touch preinstalled)  but probably any Ender-3 v1 or v2 that the CR-Touch does not do auto Z offset. It exclusively does ABL. I don't know about a BL-Touch, I've never used one.   The Ender-3 V3 series does do auto Z offset, but that's because it has force gauges under the bed which measure the pressure from the levelling probe.
    • The StartUp Gcode is very machine dependent.  I used to have separate printers for PLA, PETG and TPU because I wanted different StartUp's depending on the material and speeds.  With the StartUp now able to handle logic I'm taking advantage. This makes adjustments to the StartUp per the current Cura settings.  That makes it ambidextrous and I now only have one printer defined. ;--------------------------StartUp Gcode G21 ; Metric Units G90 ; Absolute Movement M82 ; Absolute Extrusion M220 S100 ; Reset FeedRate M221 S100 ; Reset FlowRate M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; Start heating the bed {'M104 S175 ; Standby while bed heats' if material_bed_temperature_layer_0 > 65 else ';M104 ; No standby'} {'M190 S' if material_bed_temperature_layer_0 > 65 else 'M140 S'}{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; Bed wait if over 65 M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; Hot End Temperature G92 E0 ; Reset E G28 X Y ; Home XY axes G1 F2700 Z10.0 ; Move Z G0 F{speed_travel*60} X1.0 Y20 Z0.3 ; Move G1 F{speed_print*60*2/3} X1.0 Y200.0 E15 ; First purge line G0 F{speed_travel*60} X3.0 Y200.0 ; Move G1 F{speed_print*60*2/3} X3.0 Y20 E30 ; Second purge line {";G1 F" if "TPU" in material_type else "G1 F"}{retraction_retract_speed*60} E28 ; Retract if not TPU G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder G1 F2700 Z12.0 ; Move Z Axis up G4 S1 ; Wait for booger to solidify G0 F{speed_travel*60} X3.0 Y35 Z.35 ; Move over G0 F{speed_travel*60} X3 Y50 Z0.35 ; Wipe ;--------------------------End of StartUp
    • I just did my first ever firmware install, however it did not help, i just ordered a cr touch, ill install that tomorrow and see how it goes   thanks for your help
    • Have you tried flashing/reflashing the latest firmware? If there's a firmware file on the SD card that has a filename different to the last one you installed, it considers it new and installs that.   BTW: "Improve your 3D prints" is not "Ender-3 Support Forum" so I'm moving this to "third party products & modifications"
    • On my E3V3SE I find when I do that I have the extruder idling for a while waiting for the bed to finish heating, and the bed heating is a roadblock in my startup code since I like to home when it's hot (it's a PC metal bed, so it will technically be slightly larger when heated, but this is one of my many cases of "it works in theory, so I'm doing it" rather than the "in practice, it won't make a damn difference" line of thinking).   My bed seems to take interminately long to heat up (it's probably average), but if I only start heating the extruder once the bed is hot, then I'm waiting for that after it homes and moves into drooling position it takes a while for the extruder to finish heating, so I did this: M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0 - 15} ; Start heating the bed M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; Get the extruder going M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; Finish heating the bed G28 ;Home
