  1. I asked matterhackers for the firmware and they actually send me the links to their marlin configuration and marlin's main github if you wanted to compile your own. It doesn't seem too bad, I am going through to see what can be enabled to hopefully be able to use the auto-bed leveling. Once enabled it should be as easy as editing the start g-code to include auto-bed leveling.
  2. I have been trying to do this for some time. I had it working well before, but had to send it back to matterhackers due to a defective stepper motor. After making some upgrades and getting it back(took over a year from returning it due to terrible support) I have had trouble with the same thing. The only solution I could find is basically rebuilding the firmware from scratch applying all of the right settings in the marlin firmware for what is essentially a prusa mks3. Including the mesh leveling options should all work. the biggest issue is they lock down most of the features marlin offers and pass it off to their crappy software that is just a big pile of crap when it comes to all the slicers out there and what they are capable of. So I can follow up here when I figure out a config that works properly and can get some better results. Looking at the hardware for the 32 bit version I have it loos like the exact same stuff as BigTree’s marlin build for the prusa mk3s, which is literally what the pulse was ripped off from. If you go to Marlin’s github you can find the repository with all the different 3d printers and prusa big tree which should be the best match from what they have. but it isn’t for the faint of heart… i am learning as I go and it is complicated. Not too crazy just gotta be patient and careful. Doing any of what I’m saying tho will void your warranty. So at your own risk. Me its worth it at this point. I have issues with every material. And I know a lot can be fixed with basic slicer settings in another program like Cura. If I had known what I know now I would NEVER but from matterhackers again unless they were the only dealer for another printer that is not theirs. They obviously have made little to zero improvements since my purchase in early 2019. Even then I had instant regret comparing it to my $250 ender 3 pro($1000 for the pulse xe, $1500 after upgrades). The pulse xe has everything to be a good product but matterhackers seems to have purposely crippled it with their own f@&$ery. Makes zero sense why mattercontrol is as bad as it is. Their technicians are extremely terrible at providing actual support for your issues other then sending you to a extremely dated article or youtube video that does not ever help. overall if you are techie enough to do the research.. looks like building your custom firmware would be best. Other then that the simplest way is to use the link the previous reply put to transfer the gcode. Then just try cura. I actually did it for a lil while that was and wasnt bad. Still had minor issues, bed leveling will not work. Tried a few times to just run bed leveling from pulse, then run the print from cura. Was working but I had a bad stepper that would go nuts and mess up all my prints then. I’d get 50% because of that issue, but the others came out great having ironing and stuff turned on. i will let you know here if I get something good together and send it to the marlin github or something.
