V4.4.19 Update Content
Note: After updating, the Klipper configuration file will be replaced. The previous configuration file will be backed up as printer_{datetime}.cfg, printer recalibration will be required.
1. Modified platform calibration logic
During platform tilt calibration, the machine performs a sensorless homing downwards to ensure the heights of the left and right Z axes are consistent.
2. Optimized Gcode processing logic
We have increased the processing priority of certain Gcodes, such as SET_GCODE_OFFSET, to ensure they are executed immediately upon input. However, due to the presence of a move queue in the toolhead, which temporarily stores some parsed movements, the effect is not immediate. We plan to continue improving this in future versions.
3. Added functionality to move without homing
We have noticed that in some cases, such as when printing is unexpectedly interrupted, users may want to move the Z-axis to facilitate the removal of a broken model upon machine restart. Typically, this would require homing before movement, but homing can be obstructed by the model. Therefore, we have added the capability to move the Z-axis without homing and provided corresponding prompts.
4. Fixed issues with camera loading under specific circumstances
5. Fixed display issues with connected WiFi name
We also addressed an issue where the display of connected WiFi names containing Unicode characters appeared blank, and this has been fixed.
6. Adjusted default parameters.
