Issues with connecting Pronterface to Anet A8 printer

I was recently told I should probably update my printer's firmware from the current version (ANET_A8_20160701V2.0) to Marlin (going to use v1.1.9). To do this, I dutifully downloaded both Pronterface and RepetierHost trying to connect with either…

How to apply manually obtained mesh leveling values to a G-code file on a printer without ABL?

I have a Raise3D Pro2, which if you are not aware, is one of the most overbuilt, overpriced printers that lacks some of the most basic features of an Ender costing 1/10th the price. One of which is ABL. I wish to generate a mesh with a dial…
