Prusa "MK3S" displays as "MK3" (no S) using Configuration over USB #4933
Comments
That's normal. PrusaSlicer just reports the name of the device assigned to selected port. MK3 and MK3S are both using the same device name without "S". Closing. |
I don't want to re-open this issue, but only expose my though. I fully understand the explanation from a technical point of view, I am not sure this behavior can even be changed. But from the lambda user point of view, that is not normal. Moreover, it could lead to some misunderstanding and to a bad user experience during this critical step which is flashing a new firmware. Indeed, a newbie will absolutely take care of which firmware he will download, but once facing this enumeration, he will be in trouble, thinking he did something wrong. |
That is exactly what happened in my case: I stopped and double-checked there wasn't another FW version that should have been downloaded. So yes, some confusion. But it did work out OK (but a total Newbie might not have been so lucky). Unlikely scenario, but... if the S firmware differs, then I suppose someone owning both version could mistakingly connect an S version and incorrectly install the non-S FW. I reported for Newbies - that and it seemed like an easy fix. :( rtyr: So this is a 'printer' issue? Can this be forwarded perhaps? Leave it with ya ;) Thanks. |
Slicer Version: 2.2.0+win64
Win10 x64 [Fully up-to-date.]
Prusa i3 MK3S
Behavior
Connect a MK3S via USB to Win10 PC
Prusa Slicer: select Configuration \ Flash Printer Firmware \ [rescan]
Serial port: displays "Original Prusa i3 MK3"
The suffix "S" is not shown
NOTED:
This may be a printer-derived title (it is definitely a 'S' version, and the the printers Info screen confirms this) and not a Slicer issue at all
With hindsight, there seems to be no functional issue here (firmware update successsful, in this situation at least), but users may query the 'mis-title' and spend time checking it is correct.
The title should state "...MK3S..." or "MK3/MK3S..." to indicate it could be either model.
