Velleman's default firmware is based on the highly deprecated Marlin 1.1.4
I will not detail all the Marlin improvements since, these can be found here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases
Let me detail the most important ones:
- Final 8 bit version, last 1.1.x version, next one will be 2.0
- Motion planner overhaul, resulting on better print times and results
- Correcting delta motion feedrate
- Added M701/702
- Default jerk value down
- Optimized movement code
- Fix crash if cancelling print during bed leveling
- Software endstops per axis
- Long filename scrolling on display
- Adding M73
- More Neopixels support
- G33 improvements (auto calibration)
- Fix broken M600 (Filament change)
- Removed mentions of Velleman, this firmware is by me and Velleman cannot support it
- New bootscreen
- Fixed under extrusion (was ~4-6%)
- Better auto calibration, wider area and more points. Might be slower to auto calibrate, but the result is worth it
- Better bed leveling, more points for a better plan. Using bilinear probing
- Better probing, introducing a delay to make sure there's not vibration after movement for the piezos
- Menu change, reorder
- LCD default value to 20. 40 was way to much
- Changed loading procedure. There's no more "Insert filament until ~3cm are visible in the tube. The instructions are now to insert the filament until you see it right after the extruder.
- Activated software retract. No need to code retracts in your slicer anymore! Everything is available on printer and fine tunable.
- Improvements on many little values here and there made possible thanks to Marlin update.
