Thanks! The only thing I don't like is that I can't have arrow keys. It's immediately better than SwiftKey for sure, so I'll adjust.

I've tried changing it following any indy I could find with different versions. None of them will take for some reason. I picked up a 3rd party board to install klipper on, but I'll keep the old one and try again another time.

Unfortunately I don't have one. I was thinking about it though.

But I just ended up picking up a replacement main board that should be in today.

My first printer was an Anycubic Vyper and I feel like it was pretty perfect for my beginner self. I was abke to put it together, do some very minor tweaking, and got it running decent quality with minimal to no issues. There's also sales regularly on their site. I picked one up for 250 USD. And their customer service is truly spectacular. Once I started tweaking the printer for quality I found a few minor issues about a year and a half after purchase. They sent me replacements and I got them within a few days.

For your use case, it may be pretty good.i ended up changing/modding quite a bit eventually on it but I didn't need to if I wanted to go with just printing test and consept parts.

Well, shit.

Looking at some of that stuff real quick, at face value, I'm really liking these options and features. This will be a good start with the Ender as I've got my Vyper setup for things that I need quality in and don't care about speed.

I think I'll move the Ender to Klipper and get out set for speed and useful prints over cosmetic needs. It's been annoying printing a bracket or clip with those settings and a .2mm nozzle that takes 8 hours when I know I can get it printed in at least half the time.

Thanks a ton for the suggestions and your input. These kind of changes and modding were exactly what I wanted to do with my Vyper a while ago but didn't because it was my only printer and already tuned.

Fun times are ahead for Kronin!

I tried renaming the firmware as well and didn't work. I'll probably pick up a new board at this point.

I'm currently running Marlin on my other printer and have been curiouse to try others. What about Klipper do you like? I might go that route.

Thanks for the board suggestions, I'll definitely look into those, they should really nice so far.

Ender-3 pro 4.2.2 mainboard firmware (32 bit) 16 Jan. 2021”.

Thanks for the input. I tried your suggestion and it didn't load onto the board. When powering on it did the same as the other times I tried and just booted normally. I also have custom Marlin ready to compile and I think if that doesn't work I will probably pick up a new mainboard. I opened it up and looked at the board itself to verify the hardware version before moving along with troubleshooting. I think I may need a new mainboard anyway because the USB port is all jacked up and I can't get one in. I assume it's probably broken and I'll need it working for OctoPrint at some point.

This printer was purchased through a 3rd party that sells returned Amazon printers with no returns and a warning "There could be any number of issues with what you get" kind of thing. It was only $80 USD. I knew what I was gambling on and honestly I probably would have purchased the same or similar off Craigslist or something at around the same price and knowing I would probably need to fix it up somehow. I'm not mad, just annoyed that someone would do that lol. It's also my second (could consider my 3rd I suppose) printer and digging deeper to learn more about it all is an experience I'm enjoying and have been looking forward to. I may get another from the same store at some point.

Thanks again for your help!

woah woah woah...

I haven't seen any porn since I joined lemmy. Where do I find this...porn?

QWOP You control a track runner to get as far as you can with Q, W, O, and P which are the left/right legs and (I believe) thigh/calf motion. It's very difficult, failure is entertaining, and success feels great.
