After searching through this Elegoo's forum, FB forum, and Google, I have not been able to find one person saying that their standard size Elegoo Mars printer came preinstalled with firmware V4.3.0_LCDF/1440x2560/F2.12.
I am able to print objects accurately if I add supports to the object, but am having issues with the z height accuracy when I try to print a flat object directly on the bed with no supports. I followed instructions carefully including "printing" the Mars_Config_Modified_English_Z_MOD.gcode file, but my objects are consistently off by 0.4mm (19.6mm instead of 20mm) before and after following his step by step guide. It seems to me like the gcode file is not having any effect on the machine.
My Elegoo Mars (M09) came with firmware V4.3.0_LCDF/1440x2560/F2.12 installed on the machine. I downloaded the latest firmware from Elegoo's website, but it's for V4.2.20.3. Logically, that sounds like a downgrade from V4.3.0 to V4.2.20.3. I am nervous about changing the firmware, as the machine did not come with a backup file of the firmware that came preinstalled.
I am wondering if I change (downgrade?) the firmware if the gcode file to modify the Z height will take effect and let me do the offset like his instructions state?
