Hello
I have a problem with my Mecreator 2. After a firmware update there are only bars in the display.
the Com Port is still recognized but I don't manage to install the firmware again. Who can help ? Did I destroy the board ? sorry for the bad English, I come from Germany and use Deepl as translator. Thanks

HI, You can try to reconnect the screen cable.and your firmware update may have errors.

You can download the compiled HEX format firmware on the official website.
you can refer to this :https://www.geeetech.com/download.html?download_id=37

Then use the CURA slicing software to connect to the printer.
Use Settings-printer-manger printer

Thanks for the quick answer. I have tried the suggested steps but unfortunately without success. Cura says that no printer is connected and the display wiring is OK.

Hi, If the driver cannot be installed automatically,
You can refer to this:https://www.geeetech.com/download.html?download_id=40
and install the appropriate driver according to your needs.

Install the driver manually.

Ok , Also reinstalled the drivers and tried the firmware update again in several ways . Unfortunately this was also without success. think the board is defective. Cura says no printer connected, Arduino gets no answer from the motherboard.

Hi, You can try to replace the USB cable and try it out;
If it is still not possible to update,
You can contact your sales to replace the motherboard.

Hello Radar1002

I think the bootloader was probably damaged. This is a special "part" of the firmware. It is responsible for the possibility of updating the firmware.

I expect that when you reload it, the update will be possible.

Hi William
I use CURA and I update with the HEX firmware for my MC2.
Because i See it s last date firmware.
What is the difference or the good on forum firwamre:

MeCreator2固件.zip
(293.54 KiB) Downloaded 5250 times

Update:new version of mecreator2
(fixed the print area not correct)

MeCreator2-1.0.4.zip
(305.39 KiB) Downloaded 1211 times

Why put 2 for 1 machine?

The update works fine. But it seems that the print size of the bed is offset.
I put
x:160 - y:160 - z:160
xmin: 0 - ymin:0 - zmin: 0 - gantry 99999
Rectangular
Only Heated bed select
Gcode marlin

this gcode:

Code: Select all

G28 ;Home
G1 Z15.0 F6000 ;Move the platform down 15mm
;Prime the extruder
G92 E0
G1 F200 E3
G92 E0

and I run a printing:

But the X carriage tap into the left side chassis
The size of print is only 140.
There seems to be a decallage,between the X origin and the X of the table after HOME origin.

Thanks for your help boss
Regards
