sailfish 7.6 and frimware failure

[charlie]

Hi guys
well after two days of mad printing I wanted to update to sailfish 7.6 as per the flashforge creator x manual
well now I cant print.

I took photos of my off sets but my extruder head just gos off the map and keeps going
when I fire up the printer it says "ff creator" it was saying "The Replicater" when I got it two days ago it read "The creator"
how do I center it to start a print? or reset it back
any help I would appreciate

thanks to dan I got it up and running
my ffcx is so much faster on sailfish 7.6 and cleaner

What was the issue? I have been holding off switching to it, but was reading about the upgrade a little this weekend.

Faster and cleaner in what way? Do you have any part comparisons?

Yea, so I was watching the lovethepirk videos and d/led replicatorg 0040r23-Sailfish. Should I look for something different. Sailfish 7.6

well I didn't follow the instructions and copy my off sets my bot would just run off to the end and keep trying to go
also I had some parameters off when I used the control panel some controls were reversed
I think I printed the 20mm cube in about 25 min with slicing on the stock firmware and the sailfish did it in 11min with slicing
the one on the left is sailfish

I have a flashforge creator x with 1280 chip... im a noob so get more info
I installed sailfish 7.6
dennis I think that's right replicatorg 0040r23-Sailfish gets you sailfish 7.6
after a day and a night trying to get back what was shipped I.E. in I was printing before the update....
and at times wish I didn't update...
im printing but I got 8 things out when I first got it and I'm sure ive burned out the kerpton tape
I was wiping with alcohol after every print . then I went to glue stick but I just tried one from the dollar store and it didn't work, then acetone and abs mixed but that didn't do it
so ya Im not sticking very good now

I was able to go back to the old firmware but it was not creator 1.0/ 7.2 it was just 7.2mighty board
keep notes take pictures of your setting
