Upgrade

[mfraser]

I'm still running V4.0.0 of the installer script with firmware V1.3.2.20 on a K1 Max and it is working fine, but I'm wondering if I'm missing much by not upgrading.

Am I right in thinking that I'd have to follow the firmware upgrade procedure first as the helper script requires V1.3.3.5 or newer?

@mfraser,

Use this to factory reset:

Then update your firmware. The last version is 1.3.3.29 and it's a safe update.

After that install the Newest Creality Helper Script:

Finally, be happy!

PS: This procedure can be bumpy but is a safe path, do it at your own pace.

@mfraser,

And don't forget about rooting the firmware before installing Creality Halper Script!

Thanks for this. One more question, does doing a factory reset remove all gcode files from the printer and if so how do I back them up?
