I am running this version on an i3 Mega Ultrabase V3 (for distinction of the different versions, check [this Thingiverse thread](https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/anycubic-i3-mega/forums/general/topic:27064)). This firmware works on every i3 Mega that has two Z-axis endstops. If you have an older model with only one Z endstop, a small [adjustment](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-AI3M/wiki/Customization-&-Compiling#single-z-endstop) is required.
Basically, this should work on every Ultrabase version that has two Z-axis endstops.
The new **Mega-S** should work too, but you will need to enter two additional commands after flashing the firmware, mentioned in the instructions below.

## Known issues:
- Power outage support is not included
- Estimated print times from your slicer might be slightly off.
- Special characters on any file or folders name on the SD card will cause the file menu to freeze. Simply replace or remove every special character (Chinese, Arabic, Russian, accents, German & Scandinavian umlauts, ...) from the name. Symbols like dashes or underscores are no problem.
