Turn on the printer. The screen will remain blank for 10 to 30 seconds while the bootloader installs the new software.
However, many early adopters and reviewers discovered that the "stock" experience had significant flaws. As detailed in an early Tom's Hardware review, the Fast Mode often led to failed prints, with misaligned toolpaths, poor extrusion, and gaps in the surface. Furthermore, the initial firmware had issues with settings like Power Loss Recovery causing zits on prints, and the filament jam detection was often unreliable. This is where a firmware update comes in to save the day. sunlu t3 firmware update better
: Stock firmware often limits the extruder cooling fan to only run when motors move. Custom builds fix this so the fan runs whenever the hotend is above 50°C, preventing heat creep. Turn on the printer
Ensure the firmware file is properly named (usually firmware.bin or Robin_nano.bin , depending on your specific board type). As detailed in an early Tom's Hardware review,
