Works great with SKR1.4 board

This is the screen of choice for BigTreeTech's SKR 1.4 board. It works well and has many built-in options. The only downside is that the firmware that comes with it is not open source. I recommend updating it to the latest available firmware with the theme and graphics of your choice and then running it in "Marlin mode" (12864 compatible) most of the time. This puts you in direct control of the Marlin, rather than acting like just another serial controller like it does in touchscreen modeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 3D printer controller
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Quality hardware upgrade, questionable firmware

So far this has been a great upgrade for my Ender 3. The touchscreen works great, especially after running a calibration cycle which was easily accessed from the settings menu. However, since this is intended as a screen replacement for the Ender 3, you'd think they'd rotated the ribbon cable's pinout to match the orientation of the original. I had to cut the coded tab on the connector to insert it backwards for it to work. I definitely need better documentation, I only knew about it because of

Working on cr10 with skr mini e3

So once it works it's really good but you don't need to print a special mount or case for it as the handle is in a different position. I've only been 3D printing for a week. So if you have a bit of common sense and aren't afraid to just try different things, you should be able to get it working with your cr10. I haven't seen anyone here post anything about this printer. So if you have one, here's what I did to make it work. Connect the original cable as is and add the second 5 pin cable with 5โ€ฆ
