    I have one of the original printers from the kickstarter campaign and after not having used my printer for a while I am starting to use it some and am having trouble getting it running, is the new firmware set for the newer metric rods? if so how do i change it to run with the standard rods that came on mine?

    I personally am still using a firmware (with minor tweaks of my own) from early last year.

    With my Beta (the kickstarter version of the printer)

    It previously was non auto level but i added that to it as well as the linear rods and new print bed.

    If you have autolevel then you probably should use the 5/16" version.

    Better to count the number of threads per inch than having us guess. 18 threads per inch for 5/16"-18 rods
