Ultimaker2+ 3.3.0 firmware is not updating

[EddieCue 0]

For some reason my Ultimaker 2+ firmware will not update.

The following are steps I have tried:

1.Switching cables

2.Using a different computer

3.Doing a Factory reset

4.Rolling back my Cura software to 3.3.1 and 3.4.0

It seems to initiate the update, the Ultimaker even turns of after the update completes, but when I check it on the machine it's still at 3.3.0

So I'm pretty sure 3.3.1 and 3.4.0 come with the same version of firmware for UM2+.

 

That's why.  It's confusing.  I know.

 

So I think it is working just fine.  Not every new version of cura comes with a firmware update.

In fact I recommend tinker firmware which has lots of amazing features including "continue failed print" and other features even more valuable.

The reason I was trying to run the update in the first place, is because the extruder remains on top of the print after it's done, with the nozzle and bed temperature running causing fillament to ooze over the print.

So then Cura 3.6 won't have a firmware update above 3.3.0?

Probably not.  Ultimaker is spending more time I suspect on the newer products and not the UM2 series.  The bug you speak of sounds familiar but I forget what it is.  The bug is probably fixed in tinkerMarlin.  @tinkergnome - do you remember this marlin bug?  Is this the one that is fixed by doing one of 3 things and one of the things is to add more comments at the bottom of the gcode file?  If so, wasn't that fixed well before cura 3.3.0?

I'm not sure, but there was another bug with the end-of-print retraction that was fixed after the 3.3 release (only on GitHub).

The most recent activity was 5 month ago, and there is a beta release of the UM2+ firmware from Oct. 2018
