Now I have got myself in a pickle. How do you setup the autolevelling? My printer is determined to drive the hot end to Australia. I now have two holes in my bed where the printer has tried to level. Is there anyone out there that assist me? If not, the printer is going in the bin and I am off to find another make. What baffles me is that you cannot do anything with the autolevelling without autolevelling, unless I am missing something. Failing any assistance, which 3D printer that has similar specs to this piece of rubbish do people suggest?

I gently rotate the filament axially as I pass it through the block. This is a bit fiddley but it seems to help. Also, I cut a bevel in the filament just so as there is a pointy bit. This is not required if you have previously removed the filament via the 'refuel' tool as you can trim the filament to the natural taper left by the process.

@Bizeek This is, I think, the answer. It seemed to be completely random at first and I thought that it may have been space on the disk too. Thanks.

@telephasic said in Firmware for Ender 6 to support BL touch V3.1: Picoblade 5-pin Thank you for the info. I have found the 5-pin connectors available (http://www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/conn_picoblade.html).

Did you look in the drawer?

Reporting back: applying after-market insulation on the uninsulated parts really did help even out the temperature differences. Not 100%, but much better than before.

Well, almost. I did try Avery Glue Stick Disappearing Purple Color, Washable, Nontoxic, 1.27 oz. Permanent Glue Stic, 6pk (98071), which I'm guessing is probably very similar if not the same as Elmer's. I did, though, feel the need to wash it off after the print cooled as it felt a bit sticky. I'll give the Elmer's a try.

Reporting back: I went for overkill and got the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1000W, 12 Outlets, AVR, Mini Tower Black. This one definitely works without any problem.

Using the SD card for storing Auto-Leveling values was also done on the CR-6 SE but it may have gotten changed to mainboard EEprom with a firmware release last year. So after reading that I'm hoping that Creality choses to do the same for the Ender-6.

3 days and still no reply - typical Where is my printer?

After retrying a couple of times it continued and finalised the update ..still i have no idea what could have happened. I waited for allmost 30 minutes at every try. Everytime it gor a bit faster till it reached "END".. Now everything is working.

Same problem since V2.0.1.3 Not possible to solve with FW downgrade. Printer is useless now.

You mean bl touch was working before this happened? Was it after a firmware upgrade that it started happening? Could be loose/wrongly connected wires somewhere too (new bl touch?). Or maybe even interference with bl touch cable if it's wrapped around something or not neatly wired. There is also a 1.0.4.9 bl touch firmware now.

@tatari Same problem. 202 homing error after upgrading to 2.0.1.3 I have similar experience. Worked flawless out of the box, after few firmware, i have plenty of issues with auto levling.
