prusa i3 mk3 lcd screen factory

Tip: If you are flashing firmware for the first time, use our comprehensive step-by-step guide with pictures Private: Upgrading the firmware - Original Prusa i3

Navigate the LCD menu to Calibration -> PID calibration, and select. It will ask you what temperature to use. If you print mostly with PLA, leave it as is. If you print mostly PETG or ABS, adjust it to 240, but this will not really matter much. Let it run and finish before moving to the next step.

On the same Calibration-menu, you will find Temperature Calibration. Initiate and let this run through its steps according to the on-screen instructions. This can take 15-20 min. This is especially important if you are having any leveling issues.

I"ve just finished the assembly of the Prusa i3 Mk3. After reading through the printing instructions, double checking the wiring, and rereading the instructions, I switched on the printer. Happily, it turned on and fans start whirring. Unhappily, the LCD screen only shows "Original Prusa i3 Prusa Research". I am unable to reach any options menu.

I read through several posts mentioning a factory reset helping. I followed the instructions outlined here: https://help.prusa3d.com/l/en/article/SYvbQ66IXF-factory-reset . I heard no beeping no matter how long I held the control knob down. While pressing the reset button, the screen did not change.

I re-seated both cables going into the LCD screen and into the Einsy board. After powering on again, there was no change. I had read in another post that maybe re-seating the LCD screen in the screen holder would help. I tried that to no avail as well. I also tried having one LCD cable plugged in at a time. When only the one striped cable (P1) is plugged in, the LCD gets power. When only the two striped cable (P2) is plugged in, there is no power. Unfortunately, I do not know if this is just how the LCD screen/cables work, or if I may have a damaged cable.

Controlling the LCD screen is done by a single control element: a rotational knob that you press to confirm the selection. By single pressing the control button on the information screen, you enter the main menu.

Shortcut: Quick access to Move Z-axis function - While on the Info-screen and not printing, press and hold the Control knob for 3 seconds. While printing, the same action will let you Live adjust Z for the first two millimeters.

Shortcut: Quick access to change Printing speed - While on the Info-screen, spin the knob either direction, more than one rotation, and see the percentage change.

The LCD screen is vital for operating the printer. Should you encounter any kind of trouble, such as a dead screen, corrupted text, or other issues, please refer to the guide below.

First of all, unscrew the LCD screen from the printer frame, remove both M3x10 screw holding it the LCD board in the plastic casing, and remove it from the casing. See if the problem still appears when the LCD is not pressed by the casing.

Firmware updates are necessary to keep your printer up to date. However, the installation of incorrect firmware can lead to letter corruption on the LCD screen. There"s an easy fix, though:

There is a small chance the printer"s LCD screen can glitch out by electrostatic discharge when inserting the SD card. Try to turn the printer off and on again.

This problem usually appears only on user-assembled printers. If your printer"s LCD screen remains blank or displays corrupted symbols after you turn on the printer, there is a chance it is caused by incorrect wiring. Follow these steps to fix the issue.

Double-check that all cables are properly seated and they are not visibly damaged. Depending on the model of your printer, please refer to the following guides for information on how to make sure the cables are properly connected: Einsy RAMBo electronics wiring (MK3/MK3S/MK3S+) and Mini RAMBo electronics wiring (MK2S, MK2.5, MK2.5S).

If you suspect that the LCD ribbon cables connectors are not firmly seated in the slots, disconnect the LCD ribbon cables and check the slots for any bent pins. If there are bent pins, you can use tweezers to fix them. However, be very careful not to break the pin(s) completely.

This LCD unit supports the screen brightness adjustment feature.Brightness function requirements: MK3, MK3S, Einsy board revision 1.1a (or newer), Firmware 3.9.0 (or newer)...

What’s wrong with the OEM display on a Prusa I3 Mk3? Nothing at all. Then why replace the stock LCD with a vacuum fluorescent display? Because VFDs are much, much cooler than LCDs.

At least that’s the reasoning [Scott M. Baker] applied to his Prusa upgrade. We have to admit to a certain affection for all retro displays relying on the excitation of gasses. Nixies, Numitrons, and even the lowly neon pilot light all have a certain charm of their own, but by our reckoning the VFD leads the pack. [Scott] chose a high-quality Noritake 4×20 alphanumeric display module for his upgrade, thriftily watching eBay for bargains rather than buying from the big distributors. The module has a pinout that’s compatible with the OEM LCD, so replacing it is a snap. [Scott] simplified that further by buying a replacement Prusa control board with no display, to which he soldered the Noritake module. Back inside the bezel, the VFD is bright and crisp. We like the blue-green digits against the Prusa red-orange, but [Scott] has an orange filter on order for the VFD to make everything monochromatic. That’ll be a nice look too.
