Bloody hell this is getting complicated. I'm only on the latest firmware because i started having a blank white screen and contacted support, to have a lengthy chat on GBWhatsAppWhatsapp and then got given instructions to do all that firmware upgrading, and take the control box apart in order to get to the LCD MicroSD to update that too.

I'll have to try some of what you are suggesting - i only want to be able to calibrate the extruder and sort out some of my printing issues

Would be interested to know what the Octoprint Levelling Plugin is and will try that.

I purchased a £7.99 capacative leveller with the printer, but it turned out that had a locked up adjustment screw, so i ordered a replacement instead of waiting for the tech support reply - and they then sent one of the copy BLTouch units - but so far i haven't been able to print to the point i am happy with the quality in order to make a mount for it - so currently just manually levelling

Hello, you need to download the driver from the link below so that your printer can be recognized by the computer.
Afterwards, you can upload the firmware through cura or download the firmware kit.

Please download the item of CH340, download the windows version.

If the Z axis endstop of your A30 is on the bottom , you can install this firmware.

Connect your printer to your computer with USB cable, then choose the right COM port.

@Admin

Hello,... I'd like to ask you a few questions about the A30.



Q1: I've been trying to find what type of Firmware, the A30 is using,... however, I can't find the name of it, is it a Marlin branch or something other than Marlin?



Q2: The other question I have is about the Mainboard type,... What is the name / Model of the Mainboard / Motherboard, within the Control Box?

The Prusa i3 PRO B mainboard is a GT2560 A+,... what is inside the control Box for the A30?



Thank You.

I've got a decent collection of HDDVD's. I have the HD-A1 and the 360 addon.

Just found a decent price on a HD-A30 and snapped it up! I checked and it is firmware v1.1!

Wow, I think the previous owner never connected it to the internet.

I think they fixed some issues in the firmware updates and I believe the latest version is 4.0 right?
