    I’m not seeing where you have attached the current config file you mentioned?

      Hey Elliott,

      Evidently I forgot to include the link. I’ve modified my cfg since then to have the main printer.cfg and then all my macros in an included macros.cfg and of course you need mainsail.cfg as well. They all go into the same place and there should now be links to all of them. I hope this helps and thanks for catching my error and letting me know! Thanks for reading.

    can you tell us how to backup the factory ender3 firmware before we flash the new generated firmware?

      Hey Cindy,

      To backup your eeprom settings you would connect the printer to a terminal, either through Octoprint or connected to a Windows PC with Pronterface. Run an M503 command and copy everything in the output into a txt file and save that.

      As to the firmware you really just want to recompile it if it is custom or download the .bin file from Creality’s github for your printer model. Reverting from Klipper to Marlin is as simple as ejecting the sd card, putting the marlin firmware.bin onto it, then plugging it in and powering on the printer for a few minutes.

      Hope this helps.
