ADVi3++ 6.0.0 Beta 2 is released

General
1

A preliminary (i.e Beta 2) version of ADVi3++ 6.0.0 has beed released.

IMPORTANT: Please do not install this Beta 2 if you expect a fully stable version. It is not a stable release: severe bugs may occur, and they might be bad enough that they make a manual downgrade to an earlier version necessary. You should feel comfortable with and capable of possibly having to do this before installing a preliminary release.

This new version is the result of months of work and provides many new features such as:

  • Support of native power loss detection and print recovery for Wanhao i3 Plus Mark II printers.
  • Support of native power control (power off) for Aldi Balco 3D Touchscreen printers.
  • Support of Bigtreetech Relay 1.2 to add power loss and power control features to other printers.
  • Redesigned screens with more live information such as the X, Y, Z position of the extruder.
  • More precise temperature values for the hotend and the bed.
  • Mesh Leveling without a sensor.

Differences with Beta 1

Thanks to @Philipp and @MauroGil for their tests and bugs reports.

  • There was a bug in the Sensor screen when X and Y offsets were saved. This is now fixed.
  • The PID tuning for the Bed is back. I removed it in Beta 1 to save some SRAM and because I thought it was not used much. I was wrong. So I put it back.
  • Load & Unload do not home anymore. The head is raised only if its position is known and is too low (under 20 mm).
  • Labels in the Def. Acceleration screen were wrong.

Binaries

  • As usual, supporters of the project on Patreon can find the pre-built binaries in ADVi3++ Binaries.

User Manual

  • The User Manual is mostly up to date but I will provide more information regarding some topics.
