Bits from Bytes (BFB) 3D Printer firmware update
Posted: Sat May 02, 2020 6:24 am
I bought the subject printer back in 2011. It works fine except recently when I use Axon to convert a stl file to 3d gcode I been getting checksum error when loading it into the machine. I thought the problem was with the USB stick but made an image of it on another usb stick and it was the same. I then thought it was the pc so I installed Axon on another PC and also got the checksum errors when loading on the machine. BFB was bought out by 3D systems but they don't provide any support. I also tried the education group where I purchased the machine but they could not give me any help. The USB stick has two files for updating the firmware. One is called setup.exe and the other is a hex file. I theorized that I need to connect my a pc to the 3d printer using a usb cable. I also in the 3d printer cursored over to the window for UPDATE but On the PC I get the device not connected error. Any suggestions would be appreciate so that I can installed updated firmware.
