Firmware version 0.1.28 - 12th of March 2025
Improved Interface: We’ve added new sliders, and toggle buttons to make navigating the machine easier and faster. Input the temperatures directly through the keypad on the display, toggle the hopper cooling and filament cooling fans with simple sliders, and more!
UI redesign: Some settings may have moved around since the last update. All material diameter control settings have moved to the 'puller wheel speed' settings. The 'gear icon' allows to open the settings for ease of access!
Filament Roundness: The data captures and processed by the filament sensor, is now represented as a roundness up to 100% (perfectly round) filament. This data is reflected in the Influx environment to accurately identify your filament quality!
Filament Infrared temperatures: The sensor of the Filament Maker TWO is capable of more than measuring filament diameter and roundness!
- The temperature of the filament passing through the sensor is monitored and can be shown on the main interface of the machine. The data can help identify material that's still too warm before moving through the puller wheel!
- The temperature of the filament passing through the sensor is logged in the InfluxDB application on your PC. Extrude filament, examine the temperatures and diagnose your temperature and cooling settings efficiently!
Customizable Spool Options: Now you can configure all your spool dimensions in a convenient way, to ensure the perfect spooled filament with the Filament Maker TWO. You can find this feature in the 'Machine settings' panel, under 'spooling presets'. Just measure your spool, fill in the details, and you're ready to go!
Fan Control Simplified: Fan controls are now located on the analytics page, where you can monitor and adjust in real time. Both the hopper cooling fan and the material cooling fans in the extrusion area can be controlled with a swipe of your finger!
Improved Security: Upgrades to connection protocols and data writing safeguards keep your machine secure.
User controlled firmware updates: Firmware updates ready to be installed, can now be started through the 'Machine settings > System' menu. This is a preparation for 'Over The Air' (OTA) updates of the machines. When using a USB update, this section also displays the update progress!
System Stability: Behind-the-scenes improvements ensure smoother, more reliable performance.
