I’m on my fourth printer now, my second Form1+. I unpacked and installed the
new replacement printer. I turned it on, and everything seemed fine; it did
a tilt and peel, and sent the build platform to the top of the column. I
downloaded and installed the latest version of the Preform software and
opened the program. The first thing I got was a message saying that the
firmware needed to be updated, and that I couldn’t use Preform unless I
did that. So I tried to update it, but that didn’t work. It couldn’t get
into GFU mode. There was an instruction that said if that happened to
remove power, hold down the button, and turn it back on. So I tried
that, but that didn’t work either. I still keep getting the cant open
GFU mode error. Is the software really not going to work with the Build 13 firmware it’s got (which seemed to work okay, although my prints were failing)? Someone said it worked with the original Form1 firmware; do I need to downgrade to that (although it didn’t work so well and tended to spill resin)?
