Do I need to update my Firmware?

I have an Old Machine (silver Z motor) 24v & v4 hotend. Just updated to the V4 hotend and the instructions don't say anything about updating the firmware but I'm concerned that the Wiki mentions different firmware for the V4 vs. The V3b and I imagine it has to do with the heater/thermistor.

Re: Z Motor Upgrade

the change was important enough for the manufacturer to do it. Please explain why the new machines should have the new motor but I should not update my older machine? MakerGear won't explain it to me, they just say that they don't offer an upgrade option.

Hi Jules,
I don't have any indication of the files being corrupted. I don't think I've ever run into that problem.

Re: layer shift

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to provide an update and say thank you to all of you who helped me find a solution to my problem. I'm now running 1300 acceleration settings on all axis and 200mm/s X/Y movement speed. These changes to settings have seemed to solve the problem I was having. I still plan to...

Re: layer shift

I'm also doing some research on the RepRap wiki, there's so many possible causes it's got me feeling like ...

Re: layer shift

I'm convinced it has something to do with hardware or firmware of the machine. I made adjustments to the print settings and got one of the best prints yet, but another part failed again last night. This is really frustrating and getting expensive wasting so much filament. I submitted a support ticke...
