Best Display and ease of installation
October 10, 2013 10:45PM
Hey Guys,
So I recently had a room mate move in with me and now my printer has been relocated to my room. This wouldn't be a problem if I ran it from a laptop but as of now I have to use my desktop. So I was thinking of adding a display that would allow me to print without the computer. So i was wondering if you guys would let me know what you have used, what you have heard for the best display to use. I am currently running a Prusa i2- ecksbot from eckertech and installed is the Ramps V 1.4. As far as I know it should have no issues running a display. Please let me know what you would use or what you are using. Any ideas as to the best suppliers would be nice too.. thanks


I don't think I'm a geek... but my fiance sure likes to tell me I am.. not sure why... all i talk about is blowing stuff up, shooting stuff, and building stuff. Is it my fault I include chemical compositions, velocities/ trajectories, and static/dynamic strengths of my creations. Hey.. who says you can't be a little of everything.. right???

I'm using Viki on two machines. Works great but I had a bit of a quality issue with one(LCD mounting post) so look it over if you order one to make sure its ok.

[www.panucatt.com] ..... Shipping is a bit slow but worth the wait.

What type of machines are you running? Any issues with the programming interface?

I also use this display, works well. Keep in mind that you need to use Marlin firmware to use this display.
