 Hey everybody today, I'm gonna take my Ender 3 that has old TH3D firmware and update it to the new version My name is Jim and this is the edge of tech All right, so I've got a lot of people saying hey, we've upgraded the firmware We have it on our machine But how easy is it to just update to the newest releases that TH3D is putting out? Well, I'm here to tell you it's really simple So this Ender 3 has the old firmware and it also has a BL touch I'm not gonna cover that today, but I have a video coming out very soon on how to install the BL touch on The new TH3D firmware. It's super easy. It's super easy. So why would we do this? Well, Tim and the gang spend a lot of time updating and fixing bugs and finding new things for the firmware for all the printers that are listed on it Recently he just put out R11, which is the brand new firmware with all the bug fixes and he added a bunch of printers to it as well In that release He also has BL touch support, which we're also going to cover in another video coming up like I mentioned But I just wanted to show you how easy it is to take a Creality machine or any machine that they support their firmware on and just simply update to the brand new version Let's go So I just wanted to show you real quick that we are using TH3D U1.R2.7 currently And that's why we're upgrading to go to the new firmware the U1.R2.11 that allows the BL touch to be programmed right in it All right, so what I did now is I went ahead and went to Firmware.TH3DStudio.com and it brought me to the TH3D unified firmware package page So what we want to do is go down to Download the latest firmware, which is U1.R2.11 and go ahead and click on that It'll download So once it's downloaded what you want to do is go ahead and go look at it in the folder in my case It's still zipped here so I'm going to go ahead and extract it and I'm actually going to put it in a folder on the desktop that's actually called TH3DFirmware and That's where I'm going to go ahead and extract it too So it'll go through the extraction process. This can take a little while depending on your computer So once you got it downloaded and you have the file Extracted you can go ahead and open it and what we're going to do is go ahead and click Open firmware windows.bat if you're using Mac OS X then you might need to use this folder We're using Windows, so we're going to go ahead and double-click that and we're going to show you how to do this for a stock Ender 3 in this example So the first thing you want to do is go ahead and click on configuration.th Go ahead and click control F type in Ender 3 Or your printer it could be any of the printers that he supports and we're going to go ahead and Click twice Alright, so when we look at this it says Creality Ender 3 options and it tells us it's the Sanguino 1284 P board which is the stock Creality Ender 3 board In this case, it's on line 284 of this firmware that can change So don't use the line numbers just look for Creality Ender 3 options and all we have to do to Enable the Creality Ender 3 on this Firmware is go ahead and remove those two wax just like that Now you'll notice that this turned green and you are good to go If you have a stock Ender 3 that is the only thing we have to do to make it work with the TH3D Updated firmware if you have a BL touch or an easy ABL There are a couple other steps you need to follow for the easy ABL install go ahead and see that video We'll put it in the bottom but in the description and for the BL touch I'll go through that instructions on a separate video that's coming up soon in this case We're using a stock Ender 3 and just adding the TH3D unified firmware to it again, all we had to do is Remove these two lines. It'll say It'll turn green and you are good to go All you have to do for a stock Ender 3 To update the TH3D unified firmware has come on up here and hit the upload button It's going to go ahead and compile the sketch It's going to go through that for a minute And then what it's going to do is upload the firmware to your board This part only takes about a minute or so. All right, so after the sketch is compiled it will start uploading And you can see that here So it went through and Now it's just writing to the board and it's really pretty quick after it gets to this part It's only about a minute or so just like that and it tells us that The bytes have been written and it is done. So thank you And that's it the update TH3D firmware is now installed on the printer and you are good to go All right. Well, that's it. What we did was just updated the old TH3D unified firmware to the brand-new one all in all if I was not filming it only takes about five minutes to do this The last thing we have to do is go ahead and flip your Ender 3 or whatever machine on and make sure you get to the home screen And it's good to go. I appreciate those who wrote in and asked me to do this video Some people were wondering how hard it was and I got to tell you it was very simple Again, you have to have the bootloader on and this video is just to show you how to go from an older version of the TH3D Firmware to the new version of the TH3D firmware very easily Now if you have an easy ABL like I said before you want to go watch the easy ABL instruction video I'll put it in the description below that will tell you what you need to play with in the firmware Also, if you have a BL touch that video is coming soon It is super simple to add a BL touch to one of these now that Tim has put the BL touch settings in the firmware Well, I hope you learned something today and as always keep printing.
