I had issues with their FW and the CR Touch. I tried each since I didn't know about the V2 diagrams. But with one, it would slam into the bed with z-homing, with the other it would have some "endstops z" error when bed leveling. I ended up using the new Marlin firmware and compiling so now I just have my CR Touch plugged into the Z-Probe port (un modified, all 5 wires) and my Z-stop unplugged so there is nothing in the "ZSTOP" port, and added the jumper, and it works great! It will home with the CR Touch with no issues.
Hi Rob, awesome video, it was a great help! I have a question though; when I installed the firmware from the download like your video mentioned I still needed to have the Z limit switch connected, I assume that is the firmware I grabbed. But when I then tried the version that said something about Z homing ( which is what I was hoping to do... ) using the CR Touch instead of the Z limit switch it tried to home but wouldn't do Z and just came up with a message that said it STOPPED... I assume I am not doing something right or have a setting wrong? I plugged the CR Touch into the port on the SKR mini board and unplugged the Z limit switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, The standard bltouch firmware is the most common on, it expects the z stop and abl to be connected. If you want to only use the abl you would use the z hoking build but it requires the two prob triggers cables to be connected to the z stop port and the other 3 wires to be connected to the bltouch servo ports.
Thanks for the tip about the size of the drive and the contents of the drive for reflashing. I attempted an update of my working v3 with TFT display to also work with bltouch but no joy. The tft display worked initially but stopped working after the update. Ever run into that yourself? Thanks!

I am struggling to get the UPS and Power Loss Recovery to work properly. I have it enabled in the bin file but it still doesn't work. Not sure what is going on.
Got my V3 board yesterday. Took out my SKR 1.3 and installed this new one. NONE of the BTT precompiled firmware worked with the stock Ender 5 LCD. The firmware name WAS changed to FIRMWARE.CUR however. I built my own version 2.1 Marlin with the CR10 lcd display, and it did come up. However, many things are broken with my version. Anyone else having this problem on their Ender 5?
More information: I tried the Ender 3 pre-compiled firmware for the mini V3 on my Ender 5. Everything worked, kind of. Limit switches were backward, but lcd and heaters worked and motors all moved. Nothing wrong with the mini V3 board!
Hi. Thanks for sharing what you found with the BTT firmware for the Ender 5. On your Marlin build, did you start with a config example? If so, what one?
@@3DPrintscape I started Marlin 2.1 with the V2 config file for the E3, then changed the environment and board to match the V3. There is something funky with 2.1 and bugfix 2.1 with regards to lcd. Removed the boot screen and custom screen and lcd came up. Now that I have 2.1 bugfix working for Ender 5 for the V3, I will go back and try 2.1 non-bugfix again...
Hi. Unless they specifically say it has its own firmware you would just use the v3 firmware. Most of the time the small release changes are just hardware.
Awesome video, just got my Ender 3 V2 and installed the SKR MINI E3 on it. Sadly, the firmware they provide which is 3 months old causes my board to go into a beeping frenzy and never boots up. What I did notice is that at first the boot sequence would cause the CR Touch to remain constantly on Red while the second time I installed it, it remained Red for a second and then went back to booting up normally. Sadly, I couldn't get the firmware to work at all, screen would light up and the logo of Creality would show up but then nothing and it would freeze itself there beeping like crazy (The start status led would boot loop constantly). Any ideas? Not too knowledgeable in regards to 3D Printers since it's my first one.
@@3DPrintscape Sorry I somehow managed to forget to add the version of the board. Running on a V3, managed to "partially" build Marlin from their releases page but it just hangs on the creality boot screen when installing either version of Marlin (2.1, 2.1.x, Bugfix). Even though it doesn't boot when updating the firmware, it's not doing the beeping as the prebuilt firmware was doing. I guess i'll have to wait for your video on how to build marlin for this board. Thanks for taking the time to answer my comment!
@@3DPrintscape Hey there, was using the Configurations from Marlin's website (Except for Bugfix since it wouldn't allow me to compile since it was for an older version). I got myself a crimping tool and the JSTs to finally fix the remaining fan that wasn't plugged in, will probably give it another try and report back.
I’m in a pickle for a while now with the printer and set up. I installed the bltouch using both options but my prints can’t seem to stick to my bed and seems to not compensate after bed leveling. :/ any tips on what I can do ?
I'm helping a friend with his btt skr mini e3 v3 install on a ender 3 max neo. He has added a sprite pro hotend and that hotend fried his oem main board somehow.

I am putting a SKR mini E3 V3+TFT35 on my old CR10S 3 (one of the first with dual Z) got FW to load and look ok on the boards standalone. Started replacing old boards but I had 4 fans plugged in the mini E3 supports 3 fans Marlin only has support for 2. Any ideas?
Hi. I think the firmware controls two of the fans with the same setting. If you need all four, you could maybe connect the last one with a y adapter or something similar.
@@3DPrintscape I missed the obvious. There is no fan assignment in the config files for the Part Cooling fan because Marlin assumes it is connected to FAN0 by default. The fourth fan is for the case as this is always on I plugged it into two of the VIN pins. With the correctly set up Extruder & Board fans all sorted. Should have been obvious to me but at the time but was not🙄 All back together configuration & connectivity all seems correct thanks to your video. Now I starting to recalibrate everything including the BL Touch.
I upgraded my original ender 3 board with the V3 and added a bltouch as well. I downloaded the firmware with the bltouch file, not the z homing file, but I'm having issues. When I try to auto home, the x and y home no problem, but the z axis has no idea what to do. I tried reflashing the firmware, but the homing the z axis is still an issue. What can I do it fix it?
do you have a pre-compiled firmware that covers the bl touch and a filament sensor wired to the SKR E3 mini V 3.0? using the EO stop port on the board? I am upgrading a basic Ender 5 (no plus or pro).
I am having some issue with mainboard, It is not detectecting the SD card hence I am not able to flash formware through SD, is there any way I can do it with laptop??
Hi. Im not seeing any config examples for that board/printer combo. You could probably take one of the creality ones and modify it to work with that printer.

Not sure what is going on here, it seems like it updated but now it isn't working altogether. Anyways, any help would be appreciated!
@@3DPrintscape Oh i see. It has been so many years since i messed with this printer, but I think I used TeachingTech's video and it was a custom firmware build but I'm not 100% sure. The Firmware readout on the printer says TFT35_E3_V3.0.26.x Jun 15 2020 still although the file is being changed to .CUR but I assume that it is just not being read out properly since I caused whatever issue I did.
Any idea why the Red Status LED continues to flash even after upgrading firmware and removing sd card? The firmware update works, because the filename has changed to firmware.cur, however I don't have a display for it yet and my slicer/rep host doesn't recognize it... Surely you can use it without a display? Or do I need to risk spending more on a display for a board that might not even be working correctly? Any help much appreciated :)

@@chooky4626 Im not sure if its compatible or not. Honestly, if you can afford it i would just pick up a tft35. Its a great screen and works with the board.
Hi. This is a common issue. Make the filename unique, so add the date or something to it. For example firmware0305.bin. If you still get a blue screen, you may have grabbed the wrong firmware.

Hi. You will need to update the bed size in the config. I will mention that part in a video im trying to get out this week on the skr mini v3 firmware.
My Ender 3 with SKR Mini E3 V3 does not start with SD Card or not find the file, sometimes it return "SD Init Fail" my SD Card have 256mb and I formatted with Fat32, I used file with "firmware.bin" and "firmware" name. Do you know what it might be?
I have watched your video and many others several times and tried a lot of things but it is still not updating. Ender 3 pro using skr e3 v3 with bltouch. Using either an 8gb sd or a 128mb sd. Formatted at Fat and Fat32. Using firmware from bttgithub, skr e3 v3, ender3-bltouch.bin. Placed in root folder of sd and moved to printer. I have tried changing the name in all format configurations. Firmware.bin Firmways123.bin. The only thing that does anything is if I rename it FIRMWARE omitting .bin as its already a .bin file. The printer will boot, pause for 2 seconds and then nothing is different with the printer. It will change the file on the SD names FIRMWARE to a .Cursor file. What would you suggest since its not working as easily as I would have hoped Update - formatted 128 mb card to Fat16 - used file firmware BigTreeTech SKR Mini E3 3.0 BL Touch.bin - renamed to FIRMWARE omitting .bin - Blue screened printer. It did change the file to a .cursor file on sd. Tried reloading firmware from firmware-ender3-bltouch.bin - blue screened. Requested replacement board as this one seems to be defective. New to printing so any thoughts or constructive suggestion would be appreciated.
Hi. It sounds like you have known file extensions disabled (which is default) so adding .bin resulted in the firmware being firmware.bin.bin, which wont work. It sounds like its reading the firmware now, but if its not taking it then there may be a compatibility issue with the firmware and your board. Can you try the firmware from my site?

It moves and hits the end stops, but the hotend moves to the middle of the print surface and about 5 inches above it. Then moves the probe in and out till the screen states "stopped" in the bottom corner. Ideas?
I blue-screened my Ender 3 last night installing a BTT SKR mini e3v3. I turned it on after installing it initially and it worked, the cooling fan kicked on at 60 degrees and I could access the menu. I went to install the v3.1 firmware with no bltouch, and it bluescreened. I've tried to reflash the firmware with the 3.0 firmware but nothing has worked. I first thought that I bluescreened it because I named the file "firmware.bin" as your video says that could happen on my printer. It seems like the firmware was uploaded though as the file name changed to all caps afterwards. Is there any way to remedy this without hooking up a computer? Any suggestions here are appreciated. I am not sure the best way forward. I think I will need to run marlin or klipper eventually though. Happy to provide more specifics for each part if it helps. Hotend is biqu h2. display board is 12864zw-10. Any help is much appreciated!

@@m_e_r_d_a Was the wiring too tight? Sounds like the probe processes may have been pulling too much on it causing the connection to come loose.
@@3DPrintscape Possibly, I'm going to rewire it and see how that goes. Thanks for the tip.
Does anyone have the firmware for Ender 6 from this video? It's just been deleted now and I couldn't find it even in the history.
Hi. I dont but maybe someone else does. You could also ask on the discord channel.
Apparently there is a bug where the hotend fan doesnt work when compiling custom firmware. Any thoughts on adding this in your next video? Thanks for all your work!
Hi. I will look into that one, havent seen that happen.
I am struggling to get the UPS and Power Loss Recovery to work properly. I have it enabled in the bin file but it still doesn't work. Not sure what is going on.
Hi. Honestly, i havent messed with that much. I just plugged my printer into a good battery backup i have.
Got my V3 board yesterday. Took out my SKR 1.3 and installed this new one. NONE of the BTT precompiled firmware worked with the stock Ender 5 LCD. The firmware name WAS changed to FIRMWARE.CUR however. I built my own version 2.1 Marlin with the CR10 lcd display, and it did come up. However, many things are broken with my version.
Anyone else having this problem on their Ender 5?
More information: I tried the Ender 3 pre-compiled firmware for the mini V3 on my Ender 5. Everything worked, kind of.
Limit switches were backward, but lcd and heaters worked and motors all moved. Nothing wrong with the mini V3 board!
Hi. Thanks for sharing what you found with the BTT firmware for the Ender 5. On your Marlin build, did you start with a config example? If so, what one?
@@3DPrintscape I started Marlin 2.1 with the V2 config file for the E3, then changed the environment and board to match the V3. There is something funky with 2.1 and bugfix 2.1 with regards to lcd. Removed the boot screen and custom screen and lcd came up. Now that I have 2.1 bugfix working for Ender 5 for the V3, I will go back and try 2.1 non-bugfix again...
@@glenb1356 Try to start with the Ender 3 pro e3 config file.
There is a V3.0.1 in there now. How do we know if that one is relevant for our setup?
Hi. Unless they specifically say it has its own firmware you would just use the v3 firmware. Most of the time the small release changes are just hardware.
Awesome video, just got my Ender 3 V2 and installed the SKR MINI E3 on it. Sadly, the firmware they provide which is 3 months old causes my board to go into a beeping frenzy and never boots up.
What I did notice is that at first the boot sequence would cause the CR Touch to remain constantly on Red while the second time I installed it, it remained Red for a second and then went back to booting up normally. Sadly, I couldn't get the firmware to work at all, screen would light up and the logo of Creality would show up but then nothing and it would freeze itself there beeping like crazy (The start status led would boot loop constantly).
Any ideas? Not too knowledgeable in regards to 3D Printers since it's my first one.
Hi. I have firmware on my site. Can you try that and let me know if it works. That will help narrow down the problem.
@@3DPrintscape Sorry I somehow managed to forget to add the version of the board. Running on a V3, managed to "partially" build Marlin from their releases page but it just hangs on the creality boot screen when installing either version of Marlin (2.1, 2.1.x, Bugfix).
Even though it doesn't boot when updating the firmware, it's not doing the beeping as the prebuilt firmware was doing. I guess i'll have to wait for your video on how to build marlin for this board.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my comment!
@@xXStringZXx What config example did you use?
@@3DPrintscape Hey there, was using the Configurations from Marlin's website (Except for Bugfix since it wouldn't allow me to compile since it was for an older version).
I got myself a crimping tool and the JSTs to finally fix the remaining fan that wasn't plugged in, will probably give it another try and report back.
I have the BTT SKR Mini 3 V3 with the CR-Touch…. Will the Sonic Pad work with this?
Hi. Im not sure, i do want to test that as well though. I think the hard part will be getting a config file that will work with it.
I’m in a pickle for a while now with the printer and set up. I installed the bltouch using both options but my prints can’t seem to stick to my bed and seems to not compensate after bed leveling. :/ any tips on what I can do ?
Hi. Is the bed level and are you running the mesh at the start of the print?
What about the second time flashing FW?
Do I rename it to something else, besides firmware? Thanks
Hi. For the SKR, you will keep the file name firmware.bin. If you were upgrading a creality board, it will need a unique name each time.
@@3DPrintscape ok. Thanks. I must have done something wrong. 👍
Is it possible for me to use this board on a Delta printer that I picked up?
Hi. Probably, im just not sure how much support there will be for it.
Hey I have a Ender 3 pro with a 3.0 board and a touch screen I can not get my cr touch to work what is the fix for this problem
Hi. What issues are you having with it?
Can this thing be upgraded over the usb? So annoying to deal with the sd card when you compile many times and just want to hit a button to upload.
Hi. I think its possible to upgrade over usb in some cases, using octoprint or something similar, i just never tried it.
I'm helping a friend with his btt skr mini e3 v3 install on a ender 3 max neo. He has added a sprite pro hotend and that hotend fried his oem main board somehow. He got the hot end replaced and bought the btt board. Now that everything is hooked up his screen is stuck on logo. Stock ender 3 max neo screen. We found that the btt screen pinkut is different and bough the repinned cable and still his screen is stuck on the logo.
Any help if your still active would be awesome.
Hi. What screen are you using?
I am putting a SKR mini E3 V3+TFT35 on my old CR10S 3 (one of the first with dual Z) got FW to load and look ok on the boards standalone. Started replacing old boards but I had 4 fans plugged in the mini E3 supports 3 fans Marlin only has support for 2. Any ideas?
Hi. I think the firmware controls two of the fans with the same setting. If you need all four, you could maybe connect the last one with a y adapter or something similar.
@@3DPrintscape I missed the obvious. There is no fan assignment in the config files for the Part Cooling fan because Marlin assumes it is connected to FAN0 by default. The fourth fan is for the case as this is always on I plugged it into two of the VIN pins. With the correctly set up Extruder & Board fans all sorted. Should have been obvious to me but at the time but was not🙄 All back together configuration & connectivity all seems correct thanks to your video. Now I starting to recalibrate everything including the BL Touch.
thanks tons
You're Welcome
Can we get an updated version. the Bigtreetech github dosnt look like this and I'm confused/
Hi. I will look into making a new video. I need to see what changed though.
I upgraded my original ender 3 board with the V3 and added a bltouch as well. I downloaded the firmware with the bltouch file, not the z homing file, but I'm having issues. When I try to auto home, the x and y home no problem, but the z axis has no idea what to do. I tried reflashing the firmware, but the homing the z axis is still an issue. What can I do it fix it?
Hi. Is your z stop still connected? The firmware assumes it is.
do you have a pre-compiled firmware that covers the bl touch and a filament sensor wired to the SKR E3 mini V 3.0? using the EO stop port on the board? I am upgrading a basic Ender 5 (no plus or pro).
Hi. I have some firmware on my site but nothing that has the filament sensor enabled.
I am having some issue with mainboard, It is not detectecting the SD card hence I am not able to flash formware through SD, is there any way I can do it with laptop??
Hi. In some cases you can push the firmware from your computer. I dont have any guides for it.
Is this the same for V2. I did the V2 and now the printer moves very slow.
Hi. Ya it would be the same for the v2. Whats moving slow? Everything or just like the autohome?
Hi, I have Anet E16,what firmwere option I can load to BTT mini E3 v3?
Hi. Im not seeing any config examples for that board/printer combo. You could probably take one of the creality ones and modify it to work with that printer.
this doesnt help me with my 3 v3.0 and sonic pad. It wont take the 3.0 firmware. It keeps changing the .BIN to a .CUR and doesnt flash the firmware. Help? thanks
Hi. The only time i have seen that is when the firmware isnt compatible with the board.
@@3DPrintscape I figured it out. It was just the stock screen wasn't working on klipper.
Now my nozzle is getting so hot that it's glowing and smoking really bad
@@JonBallRealEstate That doesnt sound good at all. It means the temp is way to hot. Did you get that figured out?
Can you do one on modifying the firmware for the V3? I'm defeated in figuring out this one
th-cam.com/video/Vn5rMdJgkAI/w-d-xo.html This is a video of Robert programming custom firmware for the V2 board. You can do the same steps for the V3 as it is almost the same board.
I've used the following guide whenever I felt at a loss (not because Robert lacks explanations but rather bc I'm not experienced enough): 3dwork.io/en/complete-guide-configure-marlin-2-0-x-from-scratch/#Marlin_logotype_SHOW_BOOTSCREEN
Good Luck!
Hi. Ya I’m trying to get this video out this week.
@@3DPrintscape I totally need this as well. I'm printing CF Nylons and need to go above 260c which is my current max hot-end temp with this board. Thanks!
@@3DPrintscape I've been trying to compile the firmware but keep running into the same error code Error: Unknown environment names 'STM32G0B1RE_btt'. Valid names are 'include_tree'
@@alphaqlater Are you using the marlin auto build plugin, if not try with that. Im hoping to finish recording my guide on this today or tomorrow. Im a bit behind because we moved and I started a new job.
when i put the sd card in the printer the printer does not recognize the firmware.
Hi. Make sure the sd card is 8gb or less and formatted as FAT32.
After I followed all of these steps I now get the read out "No Printer Attached!" I have confirmed that the file is changing to .CUR when I plug the SD card back into my computer. Not sure what is going on here, it seems like it updated but now it isn't working altogether. Anyways, any help would be appreciated!
Hi. It sounds like its not the right firmware for the board. Are you using a prebuilt or custom firmware build?
@@3DPrintscape Oh i see. It has been so many years since i messed with this printer, but I think I used TeachingTech's video and it was a custom firmware build but I'm not 100% sure. The Firmware readout on the printer says TFT35_E3_V3.0.26.x Jun 15 2020 still although the file is being changed to .CUR but I assume that it is just not being read out properly since I caused whatever issue I did.
I'm ordering a new SD card, the only one I have laying around is FAT32 but 64gb. So maybe that is causing the issue but not sure.
The firmware on the tft is different than the firmware for the board. Try one of the firmware builds from my site to see if that works. @@DrDenticle
I have had some 16gb ones work but never anything larger. Hopefully the new card fixes the issue for you. @@DrDenticle
just got mini e3 v3 and tft35 for a OG cr10 having trouble finding firm wear for it . any help
Hi. I dont think there is a config example for it. I would try to grab the one from the ender 3 and modify it for your printer.
@@3DPrintscape thanks for getting back
Are you able to download and send me a SD card with the this fermware on it and senseless homing for my ender 3 and tft 35 and how much would it cost
Hi. Can you reach out on discord, it will be easier there.
Any idea why the Red Status LED continues to flash even after upgrading firmware and removing sd card? The firmware update works, because the filename has changed to firmware.cur, however I don't have a display for it yet and my slicer/rep host doesn't recognize it... Surely you can use it without a display? Or do I need to risk spending more on a display for a board that might not even be working correctly? Any help much appreciated :)
Windows recognises it as MARLIN_STM32G0B1RE CDC in FS Mode so I assume the driver is good. Set the baud rate etc in the firmware, still nothing.
Hi. Do you not have a display at all? I have never tried to run one without some sort of display.
@@3DPrintscape Hi, thanks for the reply. I bought the SKR to replace the dodgy Ramps Board in my Tevo Tarantula so I have the 2004 LCD display spare but can't seem to find documentation/pinouts/etc for compatibility :(
@@chooky4626 Im not sure if its compatible or not. Honestly, if you can afford it i would just pick up a tft35. Its a great screen and works with the board.
I have a v3 board and everything was working until I downloaded the file and renamed it to firmware.bin. Now I have the blue screen of death!
Hi. This is a common issue. Make the filename unique, so add the date or something to it. For example firmware0305.bin. If you still get a blue screen, you may have grabbed the wrong firmware.
Note: when using Visual Studios run as and administrator and reboot after installing. Hey how can I put in a custom boot logo? I saw that in the files and was wondering best and easiest ways to do it.
Hi. It’s there is a tool you use to convert an image and add it to the screen. I will make a video covering the process.

To by bylo super děkuji
My Ender 3 with SKR Mini E3 V3 does not start with SD Card or not find the file, sometimes it return "SD Init Fail" my SD Card have 256mb and I formatted with Fat32, I used file with "firmware.bin" and "firmware" name.
Do you know what it might be?
Hi. Do you have another sd card to test with?
@@3DPrintscape Yes, I tried four SD Cards, one 256mb, two 8gb one a 16gb
I think that is a problem with bootloader, but I don't know test this
@@BrenoMayderCruz Can you make sure there are no hidden partitions or anything like that on the sd card?
@@3DPrintscape Yes, and I formated my SD Cards with Fat32
I have watched your video and many others several times and tried a lot of things but it is still not updating. Ender 3 pro using skr e3 v3 with bltouch. Using either an 8gb sd or a 128mb sd. Formatted at Fat and Fat32. Using firmware from bttgithub, skr e3 v3, ender3-bltouch.bin. Placed in root folder of sd and moved to printer. I have tried changing the name in all format configurations. Firmware.bin Firmways123.bin. The only thing that does anything is if I rename it FIRMWARE omitting .bin as its already a .bin file. The printer will boot, pause for 2 seconds and then nothing is different with the printer. It will change the file on the SD names FIRMWARE to a .Cursor file.
What would you suggest since its not working as easily as I would have hoped
Update - formatted 128 mb card to Fat16 - used file firmware BigTreeTech SKR Mini E3 3.0 BL Touch.bin - renamed to FIRMWARE omitting .bin - Blue screened printer. It did change the file to a .cursor file on sd. Tried reloading firmware from firmware-ender3-bltouch.bin - blue screened. Requested replacement board as this one seems to be defective.
New to printing so any thoughts or constructive suggestion would be appreciated.
Hi. It sounds like you have known file extensions disabled (which is default) so adding .bin resulted in the firmware being firmware.bin.bin, which wont work. It sounds like its reading the firmware now, but if its not taking it then there may be a compatibility issue with the firmware and your board. Can you try the firmware from my site?
@@3DPrintscape I searched on google and found your firmware. They stop for ender 3 on e3 v2.0 board. I couldnt find one for the E3V3 build.

Then moves the probe in and out till the screen states "stopped" in the bottom corner. Ideas?

Hi. Can you reach out on discord, it will be easier there.
Hmm, it seems the discord invite link is expired... I tried twice on Chrome and also the phone app to confirm something was up.
Hi. Thanks for letting me know. Will take a look when I get back to my computer.
the printer can NOT find the firmware
Hi. What is the name of the file on the sd card and is the sd card formatted as fat32?
I blue-screened my Ender 3 last night installing a BTT SKR mini e3v3.
I turned it on after installing it initially and it worked, the cooling fan kicked on at 60 degrees and I could access the menu.
I went to install the v3.1 firmware with no bltouch, and it bluescreened.
I've tried to reflash the firmware with the 3.0 firmware but nothing has worked. I first thought that I bluescreened it because I named the file "firmware.bin" as your video says that could happen on my printer.
It seems like the firmware was uploaded though as the file name changed to all caps afterwards.
Is there any way to remedy this without hooking up a computer?
Any suggestions here are appreciated. I am not sure the best way forward. I think I will need to run marlin or klipper eventually though.
Happy to provide more specifics for each part if it helps. Hotend is biqu h2. display board is 12864zw-10.
Any help is much appreciated!
Hi. Where did you get the firmware from and did you modify it?
@@3DPrintscape It was their firmware actually. I believe it was a 3.1 non bltouch. I ended up fixing it last night. It took a few tries, but I wiped the card and managed to get the 3.0 non bltouch to take and the printer works again.
