Review on BIGTREETECH Mini12864 Graphic Display Prusa I3 by Ikki Martini

Revainrating 5 out of 5

excellence. for 3D printer controllers

touch screens? it's not worth it. You don't want 5 steppers, 3 end stops and two thermal sensors talking to one Arduino, you want another Arduino with its own firmware that needs to translate the touchscreen command to a Marlin command and send it as a ready-made command line. . The network is for wizards and nerds alike, and it's a waste of time when you can do more with less network. that's too much and you probably aren't running a huge print farm. You probably want something that will allow you to talk and print to your printer and tell you what your printer is doing, well that's it. Want your printer to look like a Maserati? that's all, complete with customizable (and programmable in Marlin) RGB lighting and whatnot. The cables in this pack are good, there is an additional SD card slot for the display and if you set up Marlin properly you can have your own display sprites and loading screens. ignore the others - that will also be the highlight in 2021. NOTE: If yours is dim, increase the contrast above 248. This is not a problem with the display, but with the firmware on your motherboard - the display probably won't need an update in a reasonable amount of time. PS, TMC errors aren't screen either, it's because your steppers aren't getting enough power from the power supply. this PC connection alone cannot suffice, even if none of them are connected. This is the same as FYSETC mini12864 v2.1 if you want to view others.
