There seem to be multiple Mini versions or revisions but I couldn’t find any explanation about their status.
My Mini was delivered and documented as 1.0 a couple of weeks ago (seems old for such a recent acquisition?).
I find flower named versions in alphebetical order in the devel section of the website, but I can’t find any documentation on interoperability?
Gladiolia seems to be the latest revision, but does that mean I can use gladiolia replacement parts for my Azalea (if I have an Azalea?). Is there a Changelog available for the versions? I’ve printed the beefy idler spare parts in case one may break, confident that I can make them fit? I uploaded Gladiola’s latest 1.1.0.9 firmware and have no problems printing, but don’t know if I’m doing the right thing?
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Update: One thing is clear, there is a gladiola_update.odt document in the gladiola dir. I was distracted by the odt extension, spoiled by the avalange of .doc’s being spread around the globe
I’ve looked closely at some of the part models between versions, and some seem to be updates - meaning, you could print and use the new version. But others seem to be actual changes - meaning, if you printed it, it wouldn’t work/fit. But I have not found anything that definitively shows where you can print and use an updated part vs the part is actually a new design that doesn’t work with an older version of the printer.
BTW I’ve loaded the Gladiola beta firmware on my printer, which is S/N 3774, so should be Foxglove? Bad idea, good idea - I don’t know. But it’s working fine.
From the devel site, it sounds like no consumers should have an Azalea, since that is listed as a prototype machine and should not have been sold. Check the back of your electronics box for the serial, and that should tell you what you have -
(from the devel site)
*“Daffodil” - KT-PR0035-XXXX - The first production batch of 1000 machines
*“Foxglove” - KT-PR0035-XXXX - The second production batch of 3000 machines
*“Euphorbia” - KT-PR0035-XXXX - The third production batch of 3000 machines
*“Gladiolus” - The fourth production batch of machines, currently in development
