Thank you for your time. I do not have the original firmware. I doubt that anybody has it. I asked DMS for original firmware and but never got it. Thanks again.

If anybody wants the original 1.1 firmware I have it here mega.nz/#!ZxBwRR4a!MAFDUr6_CcD0N-A3-hFuHOiRqxes-jsHAUgGqBknCQU At least you have a reference point then for updating firmware, as new updates come out, like now Marlin 1.1.5 is available.

I also have the original firmware, Lucy sent it to me. I went through it to take care of a few issues that were bothering me. I changed to 9 point grid bed leveling, got rid of that useless offset that makes the printer read x -25 after homing, the probe offset was - when it should have been +, and i made the knob change values in increments of 1 instead of incrememts of 4. I also dropped acceleration from the default 3000 to 2500, and jerk from 20 to 15, mainly because I feel the big 20t pulleys don't like changing directions fast. I just toasted my heat break on a jam, but after i replaceit, i will get a test print in and hope some community members will beta test it. If it passes here, I plan on sharing it with DMS to have it added to the production model. By the way, the first time I uploaded 1.1.4 i got a heater fault error too, and i didnt mess with temls. I think theres just a very minor bug in the firmware somewhere because it worked fine after i re uploaded without making any changes. Also, hood news, cura 3.0 recognizes the dp5 and there's no problem printing via usb again.

I'm a beta tester for sure. I'll just hang out for the link to come up. I too had problems with the heater error, I did a PID autotune and I haven't had that problem since, and now I run that M303 anytime I change things at the hotend or filament type, like from PLA to PETG, the different temps make it worth spending a little time with this to get great prints.

Well, I forgot to mention I have to order the new heat break. Hopefully ill have it up by the end of the week

Ok, back on track, test print in progress. Besides tuning in my z offset, seems I got everything I wanted to done in the firmware. Ready to share the firmware, but not quite sure the best way to do that. I'm better at wrangling the angry proxies than I am at teaching them how to dance. Anyone care to educate me on the best way to share it? It'll be a Google drive link, but how do I export it from arduino(pref the for dummies guide, I'm not the 3d printing meathead for nothing)

But I'll go see Sally now, for the uninitiated, "Sally Can't Dance", was a song and album by the late, great Lou Reed, who had no idea about firmware, or 3ding.
So you have the whole firmware upgrade open in an Arduino window, File/Save as To a directory that you create ready to go. Hope that is clear as mud.

Ok, lets see if this works: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IfKBzzZGUKoLhQSbktnnQf6QWCQrJKsl?usp=sharingSurprisingly, I noticed my print is not on center of bed, it is slightly justified +x and -y slightly. Maybe someone with a little more talent can see where that's coming from. Major fixes include: 9 point bed leveling printer reads x0y0 after homing acceleration reduced from 3000 to 2500 Jerk reduced from 20 to 15 settings adjusted in increments of 1 for motion and temperature through rotary knob. These settings are for an unmodified DP5, Flashing this file will erase any z offset you have manually entered.

Ok got it, in the middle of a print, will flash later and let you know how it hangs. with the bed centering thing you might just need to update your slicer settings.

Right so I flashed my firmware, and the first thing I noticed is the 1.1.4 version is a far nicer layout, but the settings all appeared to be good. I'm currently looking through the 1.1.4 config.h file and tweaking settings there, I also have 1.1.6 from Github, but I will have to dig into it and make the appropriate changes, once I have done this and tested it thoroughly I will make it available here. Don't hold your breath though got to work on a bell mouth for a carburetor too, before the racing starts, next month. I'm putting in an application for a 36 hour day, seems there's just not enough time with the current 24 hour format.

I went with the 1.1.4 b3cause it seemed to be the most stable version. The github on 1.1.6 seemed to show some bugs left to work out. Curious to see the tweaks you're making, my biggest question is if your print stayed center on the bed. Mines off for some reason, not a slicer setting though. K might have missed an offset somewhere. I gotta admit though, my favorite fix is being able to adjust temp and motion in increments of 1, that was driving me nuts. Good luck with your 24 hours of insanity

My print did stay centered on bed, MatterControl does have an output option to center on bed, and reads the settings from the printer info inputted rather than firmware. Which most slicers should do, that's why I thought of it being slicer issue. All I've done with the 1.1.4 version so far is disable the functions that don't apply to the DP5, I've compared the 2 config files yours and the one supplied by systpro, and enabled and disabled bits and pieces, been printing all day with this firmware version running, and all seems good so far. Once I'm convinced there are no little buggers running around creating bugs I'll post a link. This shared learning is a great way of getting great results for all involved. Well done Brian on creating this group, and too all the contributors so far without all the great input we would all be flying blind.

Cura has center on bed function too, but for some reason, my parts are not where the preview shows. It's almost like it's using the sensor offset as the nozzle location. If i manually move the bed, it's right on track, just not on track with cura. I'll have to investigate.
