Factory Reset

A factory reset is required if you have installed Guilouz's Helper Script or if you have installed Fluidd or Mainsail through any other means, such as from Creality directly. Otherwise, you can safely proceed directly to installation. If your printer is still running stock firmware, it can be quite handy to skip a factory reset so that you can use Switch to Stock.

Note

Because the Ender 5 Max and Ender 3 V3 KE both use the same basic software as the K1 series, this step applies to these printers as well.

Danger

It is really important you do not close the ssh session until you get this message:

It can take up to 5 minutes for a factory restart to finish, it is vital you do not power cycle your printer before the stock screen appears. There may be a 3002 error on the screen, this is completely normal. If you are planning to install Simple AF you can ignore it, if you are trying to go back to stock, power cycle the printer again to clear the error.

Failing to follow this advice can lead to your printer getting bricked and requiring much more involved intervention to recover!
