DIY OctoScreen Setup To Control My Anycubic i3 Mega!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- If you use OctoPrint to control your 3d printer, then you might be just as frustrated as me when you notice a print failing and you have to run to find a computer in order to cancel the print. In this video, I added a touchscreen to my 3d printer enclosure to control my OctoPrint server directly. Now I can start and stop prints directly from my enclosure rather than a computer, but I still get all the other benefits of having an OctoPrint server to control my Anycubic i3 Mega!

Awesome video!
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
Hi @MODERNHOBBYIST I am about to purchase the anycubic mega pro with laser engraver. My question is, with the setup you have enclosed will it do polycarbonate filament or have you not upgraded the extruder, tubing, bed, etc? thanks for showing this touchscreen project. looks really nice
Great work I'm sure it was a great project, however I have a windows laptop running octo print so just a tad more functionality. I have three lack tables stacked so the height is perfect! Keep up the good work....
Hey Artur, thanks for the comment! I appreciate the kind words!
Hi, I recently installed TMC2208 in my MEGA (upgraded from MEGA to MEGA-S in 2019) and flashed it with the marlin firmware, but after the first print with those, they make a lot of noise, especially the X and Y axis. Even when given the homing command from the touchscreen of the printer, they make noise. I've set their voltage to 0.85-0.9 V. Please help.
Excellent video well explained I would like if you could make a video how to install a bl touch for anycubic i mega 3 there are very few in yotube but your videos are better explained thank you very much
Hey Dany, thanks for the suggestion!
Another great idea is to add an industrial kill switch button.
If something more urgent happens. Big ass failure, something grinding, malfunctioning or a fire.
Thanks for the idea, that would be a fun video to make!
Nice Video! how did you change the image/logo of the bootloader when octoscreen start up.
Thanks for the comment! Check out my website for the documentation on that part! www.modhobbyist.com/projects/17
Thanks again for the comment and the view!
Does anyone know if Octoscreen runs in a Nextion display?
Great video! If you like octoscreen, your really going to like octodash.
Thanks for the comment! I've heard a lot of great things about octodash, I'm thinking of making the switch or at least trying it out!
wonder how UI Customizer sizes up. seems to be geared to mobile/desktop?
Hi Charlie, I have a side question. What is better for OctoPrint, the inbuilt wifi of the Pi3B or use a wifi adapter? The Pi would be roughly 7-8 meters (~25 feet) from the router Behind one concrete wall..
Hey thanks for the comment! I am using the built in Wifi on the Pi3B over a distance of about 7-8 meters and it works great, albeit without a concrete wall in the way. If you haven't purchased a USB adapter yet, I would go ahead and try it without, but that concrete wall makes me apprehensive lol
@@ModernHobbyist I do have a wifi adapter. My printer and pi would be in a corner of a room on a table.
did you find out which worked better for you? ik most setups guides say to use a dongle (edimax, IIRC?)
I keep getting Breaking Bad vibes when I hear the theme tune :)
Not a bad thing
Haha glad you liked it, and thanks for the comment!
have you use the cancel objects plugin to stop printing one part of the print?
Hey thanks for the comment! I haven't tried that, but I'll have to look into it!
So super easy to make it work. Using a lcd for the pi 4b on the 3b+.. Idk how it worked but it did. 2 questions. Can I still use the Raspberry pi cam and when I click on shut down it asks for a password. Do you know how I can bypass that?
Thanks for the comment! For the pi cam, yes you should be able to, I have used both a Pi can and a USB webcam. For the shut down question, I'm not sure about that, it doesn't actually require a password for me. Do you by chance have it set to auto-login? If not, try setting that up from the raspi-config.
@@ModernHobbyist Thank you!! it worked :)
Great project, clean output.
But you should work on your soldering skills dude there's lots of cold joints there.
Thanks for the comment and the feedback! I agree, unfortunately after a while the coffee gets to me and I can't keep my hands steady no matter what I try lol
@@ModernHobbyist Try a stronger iron, like 40W or 60W, the 400°C is a great temperature, high heat for short time, that's the key
I do notice that at times it takes forever to melt sometimes, so I cranked up the knob on my base station to 5, hopefully that helps. Unfortunately, it isn't a nice enough soldering station to tell me the actual temperature, but oh well :S Thanks again for the feedback I definitely appreciate it!

I'm using this pretty cheap iron for few months and its pretty great, maybe there's something wrong with your iron element.
Definitely could be! I'm hoping to upgrade soon...
You hear that sound? It's the 1980's calling and they want their soldering iron back.
If it ain't broke..
