The firmware is the brain of the printer that allows it to move in response to our inputs via the LCD. Learn how to update the firmware through the internet or the SD card.
Why is necessary to update the firmware?
At BCN3D we want you to have a great printing experience, and to achieve this we are continually working to create new firmware upgrades for our printers.
Our recommendation is to always use the OTA update. This is the most effective way to update the software. To do this it is essential to have the printer connected to the Internet. You will be notified on your screen when a new firmware version is available, and you'll just have to click to install it.
