    Hey guys I was wondering where I can get a copy of the latest firmware for an R1 with autoleveling? It seems there is a "heating failure" detection echo that I find to be a little too stringent and I would like to tweak.

    Unless I am totally off base and it something else...

    This page says [RoBo3DR1V3]
    But . . . .My mattercontrol says I have [ROBO3DR1AUTOV4]
    Would not V4 be newer then V3??
    My bed is not leveling correctly any more. Front side higher than rear, the nozzle gets too close and jams up. I read that there is now a 9-point leveler but mine only does 3. I assumed that it would be in the firmware update???

    You can't pay a lot of attention to the version number.

    Regardless the firmware autoleveling is 9 points. When you tell MatterControl to do the autoleveling (rather than letting the firmware do it) it only does 3.

    MatterControl is not a prime choice for software. I wish they had picked something else.

    It's always been on in mattercontrol. I've tried turning it off in the past but it always does 3 points and it turns itself back on when ever I go back and look at it.
    Just did it again, Turned it off : started print : did 3 points : canceled print : Now it is on again????

    Can't help you with MC, but you need to turn off its autoleveling and add something like this to your startup gcode:

    G28 ;home all axis
    M565 Z-1.0 ;Define a 1.0mm offset, this may need adjusting
    G29 ;run autolevel routine

    The autoleveling done that way will be the 9-point firmware version.

    Found in the gcode for a recent print:
    G28 ; home all axes
    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle
    M109 S30 ; set the extruder temp and wait
    G28 Z0 ; Home Z again in case there was filament on nozzle
    M565 Z0
    G29 ; probe the bed

    I sent msg to the MC guys to find out why auto level turns itself back on.

    @Tom Dig the Matter Control V4 is incorrect, mine had the same thing and was stuck in a update loop and bad flashes that never finished properly, d/l arduino IDE and flash to the correct V3 for your printer also update MC the last version seem to have fixed the V4 bug.

    My MatterControl version is 1.3.1, not V4.
    The firmware states it is ROBO3DR1AUTOV4. Is that was is not correct?
    If that is a yes, then what must be done to get it corrected? I tried firmware update within MC. It did something but the name did not change.
    You stated "d/l arduino IDE and flash to the correct V3", that means absolutely nothing to me.

    Pay close attention to the firmware name. AutoV4 is an older version of the firmware. ROBO3DR1V3 is a newer version of the firmware.

    Because logic.
