Voxelab Aquila - BLTouch Upgrade - Did someone here already do it? (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone!

I am dealing with a slightly warped print bed. Smaller prints are no problem and come out absolutely perfect (for me), but as the prints get larger and go near the sides of the printbed they won’t stick very good, because the bed is a bit more away from the nozzle on all sides, causing my prints to warp or even fall off the printbed.

So now I am thinking about upgrading my Voxelab Aquila with a BLTouch (or similar) to get rid of that problem. So far I read you could use Voxelab‘s Aquila X2 BLTouch Firmware with the standard Aquila?! Is that true? Does someone here know it or already upgraded one? Or maybe have a link to a tutorial?

Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

I literally gave you instructions with the name of the firmware my dude...

If there's a build of Marlin for your machine, check the bed leveling section in the source code, and enable "Manual Mesh" leveling.

Marlinfw.org

A quick search on github gave me this: https://github.com/shadow578/Marlin-H32

Honestly though, you're better fixing the mechanical issue you have with the machine.

Oh my… sorry, it might have been to early for me to read your comment, sorry. Will have a look at it, thank you!

I am already trying to fix it mechanically, but I need a Plan B, that’s why I made that post :)
