What firmware do I need for my 4 year old Ender 3 Pro

  1. I am a NOOB
  2. I am OLD (76)
  3. Someone gave me an older Ender 3 Pro
  4. I upgraded the board to 4.2.7
  5. I installed a BL Touch
  6. This is were I finally got stuck.

with the upgrades I started looking for a firmware upgrade. Creality just said “they no longer support my model”. Wouldn’t provide advice as to we’re to go. While I used to be computer savvy, age has taken over . I just want to download the right firmware. I think I can get it on an SD card.

I”m even willing to purchase a presaged card (if that is even possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike. Your not that old, I man 78 and had to learn how to configure Marlin to update my old ender 3 printers which I greatly modified . There are still many good you tube vids out there on how to configure and generate a .bin file for Ender printers.

If you can nor find or are not willing to learn Marlin I may be able to configure a .bin file for you. I would require detail of you printer to do this.

  1. The processor on the control board.
  2. The size of the bed i.e. - 220 x 220
  3. BLTouch connection - did you use the Z limit switch plug or not for the Black and white wires.
  4. Display type - standare Ender 3 or the newer touch screen type.
  5. standard extruder.
