Any update on your progress?
I am going to start a new thread on my rooting adventures. I will be named something like ‘The adventures of root man in the land of KE’, ok maybe not but it will be obvious 
Well, after installing X axis rails & ceramic Heating block, I installed 1.0.7.
Works fine so far.
Will test with a higher temp filament later this week.
Any suggestions?
I’ve installed the modified “1.0.7” version and ran some prints. Everything is working normally. I haven’t tested the increased temps, or the increased max speeds, but its does work as normal. I’ll see if I can test the host action commands, but at least Octoprint isn’t complaining that the printer doesn’t support them now!
With @TomasekJ’s 1.0.7, Octoprint is now getting info back from EnderV3SE (see the ‘Printer Notifications’ area in the interface).
I’ll send a screenshot tonight.
I’m assuming this will now inform octoprint of fillament runout. I’ll test this weekend too!

Oh wow, you’re right! If Octoprint will get filament runout info from the printer, then it’s time to invest in a good one for my SE!
Considering I bought this on special from @jaycar for $AU250 (plus member discount brought it down to $200) with all the adds, I almost have a cheap KE!
I’m going to have a go at rolling my own firmware to bring it up to KE speeds if possible …
Hey guys, what a chase! I read the whole thread and you guys have made it! Congratulations!
The new 1.0.7 config, does it let you control the linear advance? That’s what I had been wanting for.
Also, do I install the 1.0.7 the same way I had installed the updated firmware from the creality website? I’m sorry my questions might sound stupid but I’m new to this and I know very little about programming and how these things work.
Please help me with your best. Thanks!

Hey @sciencepatel - on behalf of everyone who contributed, thank you for your thank you. TBH: I don’t know if we wore them down, or they just decided it’s time, but we’ll take it as a win!
And “Yes”: install the firmware in exactly the same way you would with “official” Creality firmware:
From TomasekJ’s:
" Note: I also wanted to enable Linear Advance but there is some bug and it doesn’t work.
Firmware update:
- Format the SD card in the PC, and select 4096 for the allocation unit size.
- Put the firmware file “SE_firmware_107.bin” into the root directory of SD card.
- Turn off the printer and insert the SD card into the card slot.
- Reboot and wait for the update to finish.
If you update from 1.0.6, there is no need to update the display firmware. Otherwise, update it here."

Updated but it is all in Chinese now, off to find language selection.
edit found the language. Small problem that scrolling through the 4 main options leaves a white box around every box.

@Bonfireman Interestingly, mine came up in English, and also had white boxes around selection.
TBH: Never paid that much attention to the screen before, as I use with Octoprint (on a PC!). Only wanted the new firmware for it to “talk back” and have increased temperature for ABS, TPU, & others TBA!
Does yours work better anyway? Let the peeps know!
I shall have to try to remember what it was like when it was last on Marlin, it has been mostly on the Sonic Pad (klipper). I shall put it through its paces on Monday, currently playing with ABS on my Qidi, prints beautifully but stinks even with a carbon filter.
I’ve never installed Klipper on my SE, but did the Marlin update 1.06 to 1.07 just like I did the official 1.04 to 1.06. Everything on the selection screen stayed the same and in English… Just checked the screen (since I only use Octoprint to control it) and no issues with the display.
I’ve been contemplating on doing my own firmware update by turning on linear advance and run a few tests. Just have to read up on how it is all done…

@TechieZebra : From what I can see in the configs TomasekJ posted - he had a go at enabling it with no success as yet …
If I can help in any way, let me know.
I’ve been doing some research on it and I’ve come across some interesting info. With the current Marlin firmware (2.0.x), it does not work. Reason being that the SE uses TMC2208 for its stepper motor and its drivers don’t play well with linear advance. Now, I’ve read that some SE’s have a TMC2209, which does work with linear advance. If your SE has the 2209, then you are one of the lucky ones.
Reading some posts on Marlin bugfix.2.1.x there is an attempt to fix/circumvent this issue. So there is good news on it.
I have so far successfully compiled the 1.0.06 firmware on my system. Still learning about it all. Hopefully I can learn how to integrate bugfix.2.1.x in the 1.0.7 firmware and then move onto turning on linear advance. It’s finding time in my schedule in the next several weeks that will be the hardest part!

So do I have to look at the mainboard to find out which stepper drivers I have?

I was going to ask the same thing as @Bonfireman - how can one tell if the mobo has TMC2208 or TMC2209?
What if one compiles @TomasekJ’s changes with latest Marlin 2.1.2.4?
Just Got mine for the same deal yesterday. Waiting for the nebula pad to come as Jaycar doesn’t stock them in stores.

Onya @Pigeon!
Dunno about the Nebula Pad … I might give it a crack one day!
I’m hoping Marlin, Octoprint & Linear Advance will match it!
But let us know how you go
