Firmware Update

Introduction

We are committed to continuously improving our machines based on user requirements and feedback. Our goal is to provide the best performance and user experience, integrating the latest features to make your machine even more accurate, faster, easier to use, and even more capable of producing strong, reliable parts.

There are two firmware versions: one for older V3 models and one for newer ones.

Warning: It's Critical to install the correct firmware. Using the wrong version can cause printer malfunctions or even damage.

Firmware Update Methods

There are two ways to update the firmware on your Vision Miner 22 IDEX 3D printer:

1. Automatic Firmware Update: This involves using the web interface, where the machine automatically installs the necessary files.
2. Manual Firmware Update: This involves using an SD card to replace old files with the new ones.

In both cases you'll need to download last version of Firmvare first.
