Any plan to upgrade the smoothieware to the latest build for the C3D mini (K40)? I noticed that the updates on the GLCD are more intuitive…

It’s easier for me to maintain the one build and config that we know works. If you want to grab the latest firmware-cnc build from smoothieware github repo, you’re welcome to do so.

I should use the cnc build or the K40? Tried the firmware-latest.bin and didn’t work as the x and y seemed to be reversed and acted a bit wonky. Probably just a config issue.

And totally understand configuration management concerns!

We use firmware-cnc.bin

Thanks for the help. I’ll give it a try and post back.

+Mike Hill interested in your results. Being new to Smoothie, I was surprised that the GLCD was really just used as a glorified text display. Coming from the under powered Atmel 2860-based 3d printer controllers, I had expected that smoothie would have more power to render nicer displays and menus.

In the non-cnc firmware (ie: regular) there are icons for things more akin to what you’d see on Marlin/ Repetier Firmware.

I updated to the latest version of smoothieware-cnc and have not had any problems. I first used the wrong version (non-cnc). It had a cleaner display in my opinion, but x/y acted wonky and I didn’t have time to investigate.
