Posted · How to configure Marlin to use a 12864 graphic display ?

I have designed a product with 13 pcs 3D printed parts taking 60 hours to print.

Several of the parts are not economically feasible for me cast in plastic, as the molds will be much too expensive.

As I want to "mass produce" the product I need many printers in our newly started company.

So I bought 3 pcs of this as a start:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/SainSmart-Ultimaker-Mega2560-R3-LCD-12864-Controller-Similar-With-Ramps-1-4-/231172221638?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item35d2f02ac6

I have looked into config.h but there are so many options that I gave up after an hour where the best attempt led to a compile error.

I have installed the U8glib library in the Arduino IDE 1.6.5.

Hopefully one of you have solved this already. I will be very thankful for an advice that makes it compile and the graphic display to function.

That will enable me to produce the printers I need. I have no intention of selling printers.

Instead I will share the design here, if I get success in making a good printer optimised for my parts.

        Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
