LCD Case + Support

[SAO]

Hello,

if anybody is interested in a LCD support and case :
It is for a Geeetech Reprap LCD12864 contrôleur Smart - White Board

WOw man you have talent!

Keep on going!

What else have you hacked on your printer?

[SAO]

Thanks Bolson,

That's all for the moment but I am working on multicolor printing, sliders for the bed (because I have play on it) and for the extruder, raise the printing surface to 200 x 300 mm, but I am a little short of money, so 1 step after another (even if I would like to do all them in one time ). For the moment I work on multicolor printing

necropost. I figured since I'll be changing out things on my RL200 I would look into adding one of these. I bought the LCD screen a couple years ago before I mothballed my RL in disgust, where would I start looking for information on how to connect it to the RL200? looking at the board inside, the connections are fairly obvious on the board. EXP1 to EXP1, and EXP2 to EXP2 but what do I do with the firmware? just need to point in the right direction, as once I start modding this, it will be the first time I've ever dabbled in modding a 3d printer. my wanhao i3 simply works and has since I bought it. I considered a raspberry pi and octoprint, but I had this printer fail way too many times printing on USB so I figured this was the safest method.

I tried the instructions here http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscoun...n_V1_.28new.29

and updated with marlin 1.1.0 firmware downloaded from here https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin

but all I get is a blank screen glowing brightly and nothing else

All our rapides have worked fine with Octoprint and a Pi with touch display mounted vertically (resembles to a Raise3D just without the enclosure hehe)

I guess I will give that a try then. I was attempting to make this function like my Wanhao i3 does, since I'm quite used to that. considering I have played around with the firmware, is there anything I need to know about Marlin? specifically, are there any changes that need to be made to marlin from it's default for the RL200? The Marlin image in the zipfile from these forums does not compile. So I experimented with the latest version of Marlin. I'm including the error message from attempting to compile the Marlin 1.0.2 . this error is without any changes to Marlin on a fresh download from here: http://www.print3dforum.com/showthre...board-to-1-0-2

ArduIDE for Marlin from Rapide you need to use a 1.0.6 version or it wont compile.

Mine run with 1.1.0RC7 and latest IDE and so far no issues.

Give it a go:

note it's for TITAN+E3D.

lol thanks! Though I just barely got it to compile with arduino 1.0.5 r2. (had the same idea. thinking an older version of Arduino might work) good news is the LCD is functioning now I might still try octoprint though, but I'll need to get in another raspberry pi zero w, and they always seem to be out of stock at Adafruit. =/

[bolsoncerrado]

FWIW, take a Pi3, its quadcore and it will go way more relaxed than a Zero....

I received a RL last year, and now the USB died, so I need to go to OctoPi+Display
Thanks for this!
