Warning!
Some users reported a clicking/ticking noise coming from the power supply. The heating behavior of the bed has also deteriorated. I strongly recommend using bugfix version 1.4.1 or newer!

Features:

  • Update code base to Marlin 2.0.9.2 including all new Marlin features.
  • Mega Pro Laser support with M3 - Spindle CW / Laser On functionality.
  • Laser Support for Tools like LightBurn.
  • Support for Anycubic 4MAX Pro v1 and v2.*
  • Support for 4MAX Pro 2.0 with original DWIN II Display.
  • 4MAX Pro Auto-Power-Off.
  • More reliable acceleration and jerk values on all printers.
  • Overall higher possible extruder speeds.
  • Enabled Host Actions Commands to control the firmware via USB.
  • Add M9999 Anycubic TFT Debug command. (Thanks to @etet100)
  • Switched Thermistor Type from 5 to 1 or 11 (depending on your printer).
  • Allow longer Filenames on DGUS Clone/Anycubic 0.0.2 Display.
  • Lower fan noise when using low fan speeds.

Special Thanks to Stefan Kalscheuer known as @stklcode for his great work merging the marlin upstream sources!

*4MAX Pro and 4MAX Pro v2 share the same firmware. Please use the 4MAXP2 binary suitable for your Display (Original DWIN II or Anycubic 0.0.2)

Bugfixes:

  • 4MAX Pro 4 Point Easy Leveling now works as expected.
  • 4MAX Pro PID Tune Hotend feature fixed.
  • Chiron TFT crashed after auto leveling.
  • Chiron Z Offset was not stored in EEPROM.
  • Add missing Touchscreen Implementation for M104.
  • Add missing Touchscreen Implementation for M109.
  • Increased probe margin to avoid probing outside of bed boundaries.
  • Default level fade height is 0 to disable it to avoid breaking layers.
  • Fix resume from pause with M108 command.
  • Fix humming noise on MEGA X when moving Z axis.
  • Fix advanced pause feature when using Touchscreen.
  • Fix re-heat nozzle feature after timeout (when using pause/m600 or filament runout)
  • Fix advanced resume feature to continue a print after an error.
  • Fix/Workaround for DWIN/DGUS II Pause/Resume.
  • Fix missing home/G28 when starting manual mesh bed leveling.
  • Fix noise on stock Mega Pro X and Y drivers by switching zu A4988 timings.
  • Fix lockup/freeze when pressing STOP on Anycubic 0.0.2 Display.

Known Issues:

  • Some users reported clicking/ticking noises coming from the power supply. In that case, please switch back to HardwarePWM by commenting out ( // ) #define FAN_SOFT_PWM.
  • The built-in leveling of the 4MAX Pro does not work yet. Use the 4-point-easy leveling and mesh leveling via the special menu instead.
  • The Mega Pro BMP Laser feature is not supported. Use the M3 Spindle/Laser feature instead.
  • On Chiron, when setting the Z offset manually, the Nozzle does not move to give you "live feedback". The Offset is only applied after X/Y movement.
  • The Nozzle temperature can only be set over 260°C via gcode and not the Touchscreen. This issue can not be fixed.
  • The gcode filetransfer via Wifi is pretty slow due to to hardware limitations.

How to Install:

  1. Follow the Beginner's Guide which is also available in german as "Einsteiger Leitfaden".
  2. Read the FAQ which can also be found in the Wiki.
  3. If you own a MEGA S or MEGA PRO, set your Bed size in your Slicer to these values.
  4. Use Cura, PrusaSlicer or xLoader to flash the Firmware to your Printer.

Important:
Be sure to select "LOAD FW DEFAULTS" and "SAVE EEPROM" via Special Menu after updating!
