  1. Yes it is bundled in the official version. The firmware is fine for older machines, but recent machines have a different front panel that uses a slightly different firmware. Lesser experienced users have seen the upgrade firmware button in Cura and just pressed it not knowing what is actually being installed. As a result the front panel stops working, rendering their machine unusable. Firmware for both versions is available and Marlin builds from 2.0.7 will detect and work with both panels. This is not official Anycubic firmware though. So I guess the options are: 1) Remove the hex file 2) Add machine profiles for new and old Chirons (with the corresponding Hex file) 3) Add a later version of Marlin that supports both panel types. (I can do a PR with a new Hex file) 4) Add a warning to check machine build before upgrading Just my 2p's worth! Nick
  2. There are 2 types of TFT panel fitted to the Chiron that require different versions of firmware they are not interchangeable. The original machines have a white/blue colour scheme on the panel and must use Anycubic firmware v1.3.0 More recent machines have a blue/yellow theme on the panel and must use Anycubic firmware v1.3.5 The version in Cura and on the Anycubic website is v1.3.0, you can only get v1.3.5 on request. Alternatively you can build official Marlin 2.0.7.1 onwards using the Anycubic Chiron config files. I wrote in support for both types of panel. It may be safer for now to remove the Chiron firmware from the build.
  3. Has there been any changes in cura since 2.7 to add system variables for use in G-Code scripts?
  4. Rotatable support infill, Hoorah! Thanks for adding this testing now!
  5. Yes neotko it does look like that. The problem is it doesn't account for that at the start of printing, so the print begins with no material being extruded. If one of the extruders has been disabled (using the new feature), then it should ignore the tool change retractions too.
  6. 3.3.0-BETA Why does the slicer retract 6.5 then 16mm at the start of layer 0? I'm using the Vertex K8400 dual profile and disabled extruder 1 in Cura to print using extruder 2 (which is a really useful feature!!) When I slice, just before layer 0, the extruder retracts 22.5mm! This is the code created when extruder 1 is disabled to print using extruder 2 ;FLAVOR:Marlin ;TIME:678 ;Filament used: 0m ;Layer height: 0.2 ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 3.3.0-BETA T1 M190 S55 M104 T1 S200 M109 T1 S200 M82 ;absolute extrusion mode ; Cura Startup Script v1.0 G21 ; metric values G90 ; absolute positioning M82 ; set extruder to absolute mode M107 ; start with the fan off G92 E0 ; zero the extruded length M117 Home all axis...

It seems this line is missing when you print with extruder 2. ;end of script G92 E0 G1 F1500 E-3 ;LAYER_COUNT:32 ;LAYER:0 M107 G0 F3600 X77.85 Y115.65 Z0.3 ;TYPE:WALL-INNER G1 F1500 E0 G1 F1800 X77.85 Y111.85 E0.16115 G1 X80.35 Y111.85 E0.26716 G1 X80.35 Y111.626 E0.27666
  7. +1 for a support angle feature.I'm having a similar issue where the edge of the print above the support structure starts to droop. It could be resolved by rotating the support structure by 45 degrees. This is the standard support here is the ideal support structure A can achieve this by rotating the object, but I lose bed space when printing multiple objects.
