My Robo3D printer had a dependency on a computer to supply the GCODE to the Arduino board but the problem is the computer will hang and pause and freeze during a very long print leaving imperfections and in the worst case scenario it will fail all together or the software will crash and you will loose your print and a lot of material. This Smart LCD Controller XXL solves that problem by allowing the controller to directly control the Arduino board on your 3D printer without any external computer and it can feed the gcode from a simple SD memory card. This kit comes with a 4gb memory card and you can simply use your favorite slicer program like CURA or Repetier to prepare your print then save the code to the desk and select it from the dial on the LCD screen.
You can completely control the 3D printer from the very large and bright display and you can see the text clearly from across the room which makes this thing completely awesome. It's also very inexpensive for what you get and I would rank this as the single best upgrade you can do for your Robo 3D printer!
This is a very easy upgrade to do yourself and installation is simple. Just make sure you have time to go to the hardware store to find all the little nuts and bolts you need. I improvised with hardware on hand but you will get much better results yourself if you go buy the proper hardware to assemble it.
What's Included
A XXL Smart LCD Controler and a SD Card reader.
It comes with genuine sandisk 4gb card,
with 30-35cm long flat cables,
with the smart adaptor.
Description
This Smart Controller contains a SD-Card reader, an rotary encoder and a 20 Character x 4 Line LCD display. You can easy connect it to your Ramps board using the "smart adapter" included.
After connecting this panel to your Ramps you don't need your pc any more, the Smart Controller supplies power for your SD card. Further more all actions like calibration, axes movements can be done by just using the rotary encoder on the Smart Controller. Print your 3D designs without PC, just with a g-code design stored on the SD card. This show is an independent production of Jerry Berg (aka Barnacules).
