I purchased the M2 couple weeks ago with the LCD and dual extruder. Every time I follow the instructions to install new firmware for REV E with black motors the LCD screen doesn't work stays blank and when I use Simplified 3d to try home machine Z axis goes up instead of down to the Home switch. Any suggestions?

frustrated HELP please

You have picked the wrong firmware. You shouldn't have to reflash the firmware on a new machine anyway, but since you have, you should probably contact
support@makergear.com to get a pointer to the correct version for your machine.

Oooops, Jin's right....for the dual Rev. E you need to use the ones outlined in the new Installation instructions for the Rev. E Duals:
Download the zip file for the M2 Dual Extruder Firmware here:
http://makergear.wikidot.com/m2-firmware
For the M2 Rev. E Dual choose:
M2E-Production-SnNRd-V100.zip
http://makergear.wdfiles.com/local--fil ... d-V100.zip
Do you need a copy of the revised installation instructions? (You probably ordered and received your printer before they were ready.) If you do, send me a private message with your email address......the PMs don't allow attachments.
And if you have not done so yet....Read the new Beginner's Guide here: (There is a section describing the Dual in it.)
