Tip

You can use the Firmware Selector to help choose which file to download.

How to install the firmware

To update the firmware, choose the file ending in .bin and place it in your SD card:

(You may need to rename the file if reinstalling or if it doesn't flash the first time)
  • For a Creality board, put it in the root folder of the drive
    Or unless otherwise specified

If you have not yet updated your LCD (since: November Rev.1),

please flash the new DWIN_SET now!


This is a universal firmware that has been optimized and enhanced for both the Voxelab Aquila and Creality Ender-3 V2/S1.
This is based on MriscoC's Professional Firmware for the Creality Ender-3 V2/S1. This particular build release is for the LCD color displays of Creality Ender-3V2 or similar variant. If you are using a Voxelab brand printer, you can try the Aquila build here.

**Recent Updates**

  • EDITABLE_HOMING_FEEDRATE is now available in most, if not all, builds
  • BTT SKR Mini E3 V3 / V2 / V3.0.1 finally supported for ProUI - (4.3" Stock Aquila/Ender-3V2 Color LCD)
  • If you have a TFT or other display, you can request firmware *.bin files to be made, or compile your own
  • BIQU MicroProbe V2.0 is now supported with _BMP prefix
  • Creality E3 Free-runs + Ender-3 S1 | F1/F4 board support


Important

🚩To use this version, you must✶ update the DWIN_SET to the LCD screen. New ICON's have been added, and others were remastered.

  1. Choose a DWIN_SET from the "display assets" folder
  2. Copy it to the root of an SD card
  3. Remove the name in ( ) from the folder
    e.g. "DWIN_SET (Original)" => "DWIN_SET"
  4. Open the back of the LCD, insert the card📲
  5. Turn on power, wait until the screen goes Blue🔵 to Red🔴
  6. Turn off, remove card⤵. Good to go!✅

Technically you don't have to reflash the new DWIN_SET, but some ICON's will be missing if you do not.


Warning

🚧Please be aware of the following:

⚠️Previous Gcode Preview Thumbnails Issue has been FIXED! Thank you @Nazar78 for your help.

While using _BLT or _MM versions, if you encounter the bed Mesh not saving...
This workaround resolves the issue without having to redo the mesh again.

  1. Build Mesh (first time)
  2. Save Mesh
  3. After any time you Power Off and Power On -->
    3a. Go to Control/Advanced Settings/Load Settings
    -OR-
    3b. Load this into your Start Gcode
G28 ; Home
M501 ; Load settings
M420 S1 ; Pull your mesh bed level
;(Remaining Gcode / Start Print)>>>

If you experience this issue as it starts printing --> Mesh leveling data is drawing over the printing screen
Go to Slicer Gcode Scripts


Note

⍰ The follow may apply to you if the mainboard chip supports 256KB max

Note ➀: Due to lack of flash memory space in the Aquila's GD32/N32|F103RCT6, some features had to be disabled in the ProUI of UBL and BLT versions, including, but not limited to:

        Configuration.h
-----------------------------
  • HOST_KEEPALIVE_FEATURE
  • Sends a busy status message to the host
  • PREHEAT_2_LABEL
  • 'ABS'
  • PREHEAT_3_LABEL
  • 'Warmup'
  • G26_MESH_VALIDATION
  • G26
  • NOZZLE_CLEAN_FEATURE
  • G12 P<#> S<#> T<#>
  • HAS_LOCKSCREEN
  • Simple lockscreen
  • ACTIVATE_MESH_ITEM
  • Active Mesh Leveling menu option

     Configuration_adv.h
-----------------------------
  • POWER_LOSS_RECOVERY
  • Continue Print after Power-Loss
  • M114_DETAIL
  • Use 'M114' for details to check planner calculations
  • CANCEL_OBJECTS
  • Use 'M486' to allow Marlin to skip objects
  • AUTO_REPORT_POSITION
  • M154 S<seconds>
  • EXTENDED_CAPABILITIES_REPORT
  •      > M115_GEOMETRY_REPORT
    'M115' outputs Firmware Capabilities (enabled features)
  • REALTIME_REPORTING_COMMANDS
  • Report position and state of the machine

Note ➁: The latest releases are promoting UBL versions over ABL (BLT - BL Touch), but ABL/BLT versions will be available. MPC autotune is available for the hot-end as a replacement to PID autotune.

UBL Information

Binaries with UBL in their filename are similar to the bilinear leveling of BLT, but with extra features to provide users with more control and information. There are multiple guides about UBL, it's recommend reading about it before using this type of leveling system.
