          Hi there - No don't have mags as I got from ebay part finished - all there apart from hood - rebuild now and working but I don't know how to update firmware - Issue i have is that it doesn't centre on heated bed - and doesn't stop at the endstops - falls just short - I don't want to fully put all plastics back until I have it fully sorted - I feel that there may be some mods or tweaks to come as people finish their build - overall it prints really well (so far only done the ultimaker robot but that looks great) - Do you know if you can add a screen to it and does the micro sd card bit work - Sorry for all the questions but this printer is new to me & there doesn't seem to be many tech resources for it - I also have Prusa i3 & Flashforge finder

            You can try here: http://v3uc.com/ they seem to be more dedicated to the printer. They have a section about adding a screen. I think the SD card slot is turned off in Firmware but might be turned on soon.

            Also to update the firmware, go here http://3dprinter-collection.com/designfiles.aspx click "Click here to download your V3 Firmware update for PC" then open the v3 software, go into manual control and make sure it says IDLE on the control then run the program in the firmware folder. Find configurations.c or h open that, then upload.

            Ill see if i can find more information on how to do it later on.

            Kind Regards,
