Need help with 3d printer

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Igilq@szmer.info⁩ to ⁨3dprinting@lemmy.world⁩

I own Avtek CreoCube 3D but producer decided to delete all files and programs for it. This currently makes printer unusable since I can’t connect it to any outside program. I tries octoslicer but it didn’t detect printer. Does anyone know what to do? Maybe I should tear down printer and mod it so it would be using my own microcontroller instead?

Unfortunately, that may be the only option. If a printer isn’t running a FOSS firmware, you’ve no guarantee that you will be able to keep using it into the future.

Looks like this printer is a rebadged flashforge adventurer. Monoprice also sells a version. You might be able to find a version of the firmware from one of those companies and use it.

  from what I checked, closest model might be flashfoge adventurer 3 pro 2, monoprice no longer sells 3d printers since pages also don’t exist there

    Aw man, not that their machines were really anything special, but my printing journey started with their rebadged wanhao duplicator i3. Monoprice printers somehow made even creality look expensive at the time!

If it’s a rebranded flash forge have you tried Flashprint software on the flash forge site?

  Yeah, newer one doesn’t work but I will have to try older one but it also might not work
