Looking for custom firmware with mesh bed levelling
I don't have bltouch (yet)
I tried out some of the firmwares on the subreddit but have had issues such as G29 not being recognised or autohome sending the extruder to the middle of the platform. I even tried compiling my own using youtube guides but Visual Studio Code on windows with Auto Marlin doesn't seem to want to compile. It just errors without letting me know why.
My bed is pretty warped so it would be highly appreciated

https://github.com/OldMan2525/firmware but only if you have the STM32 processor. I haven’t built for the GD32.
New GD32F103/STM32F103 universally compatible version built today. It’s based on the 1.3.0 Aquila port that Alex released a couple hours ago. Screen brightness controls have been added. I retained the same features I enabled in the 1.2.2A manual mesh build I put on github. No reason to change, if you have that one installed and are happy with it. Updating to the 1.3.0 manual mesh might erase your existing mesh, so write those numbers down if you insist on updating. Also, if updating from 1.2.2A, you do NOT need to reflash the DWIN screen. There are no changes to DWIN firmware between 1.2.2A and 1.3.0.
Anybody with a GD32 processor on their Aquila mainboard can now enjoy manual mesh leveling also. https://github.com/OldMan2525/firmware Read the Readme there, then get the firmware in https://github.com/OldMan2525/firmware/tree/main/manualmesh_1.3.0_GD%2BSTM_Universal
And sticky has link to others with and without bl touch. Alex greentea and grippy. Check which stm32 you have first
Thank you! It's actually a lot of hassle for me to move the 3d printer and open it up in its current position. What would happen if I tried flashing it without confirming which I had?
The worst case is you will have to flash back to the original firmware. So go ahead and try it.
Working!
Hey that’s great! Enjoy!
Also, if you run into any issues with the micro-steps up/down buttons while doing manual mesh leveling, just use the knob. Last time I used, the micro-step buttons caused mesh leveling to abort. I haven’t taken the time to investigate the cause.
I tried it. Everything when well with flasing the printer and the screen. But when I turn it on, it gets stuck at the splash screen logo. I checked the board and it's a STM32 processor (STM32F103RET6)
I flashed back the stock firmware and it's ok.
Any idea why it's not working with your firmware ?
I would expect that if you had a GD32. So off the top of my head, no.
I just got the printer. I will try other custom firmware to see if its the same problem.
Thank you!
It finally worked.
When I installed your firmware, my aquila was on the stock firmware. After failling trying to install your firmware, I installed the firmware from GreenTeaD. It was working fine. I tried to flash your firmware another time and its working now.
Just in case anybody else is running in the same problem.
