I've still running my Ender CR-6 on the stock firmware, it's suited me pretty well, simple enough, does what I need.
However as prints got longer and a bit bigger I setup Octoprint on an OrangePi, only to find that the filament runout sensor now doesn't work, which means I'm much less likely to leave a print running to the end of a role, which is slowing me down!
I know you can rewire the runout sensor to the hardware running Octoprint, but I've also started to read that the printer isn't reporting the runout sensor to Octoprint, if that's enabled (somehow!) it resolves the problem. Firmware was mentioned, and being the busy type I am, if I can get the functionality back from a firmware upgrade without messing with wiring I'd probably go down that route.
Anybody here done that?
Edit - Looking like it's time to crack out getting Marlin installed, I've lasted three year so can't complain
