I installed the Sprite Extruder Pro Direct Drive kit hotend on my Ender 3 Max Neo. There doesn’t seem to be any way to get the printer to recognize the new offset of the CR Touch, or to change the profile to allow for the new hot end temperatures up to 300C. I’ve experimented with newer firmware but I haven’t been able to get the Z offset to work right or get the automatic bed leveling to work. I have restored the latest official firmware, but I’m back to the original issues.
I can still do prints with a manual level, thought X, and Y axis are skewed so all the prints are offset on the X and Y axis. I would still like to restore autolevel, and enable the new higher temps on the hot end. Does anyone know how I can get the source code from Creality for the Ender 3 Max Neo Firmware? With that, I could adjust the settings I need in firmware so that the new hot end will work as desired.
Usually you shouldn’t have to change the firmware, instead you need to tell the printer the new co-ordinates of the probe and also specify the new boundaries of the bed.
Check out this Reddit post which has 2 methods for resolving the issue, I would recommend choosing option 1 and staying with the Stock firmware.
this lead me into a loop, had the same issue as the OP originally but my cr touch was fried. got a new cr touch and put the sprite extruder on and now my auto level option puts the y axis too far back and probes off the bed in the front and starts a loop of trying to level. id edit the firmware but i cannot for the life of me find the section and even if i did i do not know the correct offset for the printer… the gcode mentioned in the guide is just faulty as its whats telling the printer to go way too far foreward.
Hello! I have an Ender 3 Max Neo as well. I am currently awaiting my sprite extruder pro kit and would like to suggest to you that if the gcode doesn’t work for you, you may have to edit it. For example, if (M206 X7.00 Y-5.00) doesn’t work, try editing the y value from -5 to 5
( M206 X7.00 Y5.00)
