prusa mk2 lcd panel factory

There are two ways how to perform a factory reset. The procedure depends on your firmware version. First, find out your firmware version number by navigating to LCD menu - support - Firmware. Once you know the version number, use the corresponding instructions below. We recommend keeping your printer"s firmware up to date.

Immediately press and hold the Control knob until "Factory reset" is displayed on the LCD display (after 2-3 seconds). Depending on your settings, you will also get a sustained beep.

Back in March 2017 in Mexico, where I live, I had just assembled with in 3 days my new Prusa i3 Mk2 kt, which was a the state of the art at the time a day before a job related trip that I had, everything seemed in place and the machine was aligned as descibed on the manual, the power was set to 110 v (Mexico as all North American countries has the household electricity at 110v @ 60hz and the same wall plug),

Now two and a half years latter I"m trying to carry on where I have left and after checking the connections to be the same as in the manual (there is little room for mistakes) and checking on the SD card that shows all original files from factory with out issues on my PC computer I still have the same issue; when the machine is turned on the LCD panel blinks on a blue glow at full brightnss, but blank (with out any word or message what so ever) and then goes black and by turning the LCD knob, the LCD panel blicks at low brightness on each step and doesn"t respond to the button on the LCD Knob or the + button and the printing bed leveling prove light remains on all, showing that the machine is in fact powered

It was last Thursday, we were impatiently waiting for our first set of Prusa i3 MK2! Not only did we spam the refresh link on the UPS tracking service every 5 minutes, but our e-mail inbox and our phone was constantly ringing up with clients on the other end asking us the status of their set they bought in the first batch of pre-orders. We decided the day before to print our own pieces of our two MK2 kits in the colors of Voxel Factory. Our Ditto PRO’s from Tinkerine were printing continually for nearly 24 hours with only the change of filaments and tape for a break. As for us, we were anxious to start building it so we had to calm our nerves by slicing each part and then printing them. Obviously that wasn’t enough to calm us. But at least we had the nice smell of PLA floating in the workshop.

Friday morning, Romain arrived with the extruders from Dyze Design perfectly printed to match our MK2 kits in ColorFabb traffic red and sky blue. Nathan and Raouf were already on their seats waiting to start building their first 3D printer. We downloaded the last version of the instruction from Prusa’s Research website and then it began!

Like dozens of times before, we blasted through the assembly steps one by one. But something was different this time. We were dealing with a high quality kit. Rambo mini v1.3a from Ultimachine, no soldering whatsoever, all tools were provided in the box, hot end E3D v6, new MK42 heat bed, proximity sensor for auto bed levelling and a precisely integrated Z axis leadscrew! We are faaaaar from the cheap clones we can find on eBay. In addition to that, the impression of supporting one of the pioneers in the RepRap Project, the now famous Josef Průša and his Czech company Prusa Research, was adding even more joy to our day!

Saturday morning, we only had to install all the electronics and plug in all the cables at the right place. A classic morning workshop like were used to, doing adjustments to little details and giving out assembly tricks. “Look here, the guides for the hot end cables, NO don’t use tie wraps for that, these small pieces serves to guide the LCD controller cables!”

First calibration… not obvious to comprehend. Forums, videos and a few chats with the guys at Prusa Research and finally the version 2 of the calibration GCODE is available. While the serpentine is printing (or not) on the build plate, we have to adjust the Z offset with a function named Live Adjust Z. That’s it, now it works like a charm! We are ready to try out our first piece :-) BATMAN! The piece doesn’t stick super well, so we used a LITTLE bit of 3DLac on the PEI sheet using a paper towel and voila!

Now comes the time to print something other than the GCODE included on the SD card. Being on Windows 10, I downloaded the executable file found on the “drivers” page of Prusa Research’s website. Pronterface, NetFab, Firmware updater, ColorPrint are now installed in addition to a pre-configured Slic3r for our i3 PLUS and i3 MK2 with basic configs for multiple filaments we use. There are few things more satisfying than installing all the necessary drivers and softwares with one click. Minor discomfort: as usual, Slic3r crashes regularly on Windows (7, 8 or 10), but I’m not teaching you anything new here. The default printing configurations are acceptable, but leaves a few spaces on the soft curves and over extrudes on top/bottom.

Tuesday morning – since I don’t know the Slic3r setting or settingsthat’s are affecting my print, I’ve decided to test a piece with basic configs in CURA 15.05.6. “Add a new machine, Other, Custom, Prusa i3 MK2, 250, 210, 200, 0.4, Heat Bed – Check, Finish!” As usual, if you just installed CURA, go in Tools and change the evil and loathsome “Print one at a time” for “Print all at once”. How many extruders and hot ends were slayed by this default config? *Bell rings* The moment of truth has arrived! Will I be able to print parts that are pleasing to my eye (and soul) with our very sexy red MK2?

The Prusa i3 MK2 are now available for pre-sale at Voxel Factory! We wish you will have as much fun as we did assembling, calibrating and using the printer. :-)

The compiled hex file from the script essentially brings me back to square one, i.e. problem with the LCD. I presume this is a faulty LCD that doesnt work with the firmware, as it works fine with the v3.9.0 firmware loaded.

Are you looking to solder your own screen on your Prusa 3D printer but don"t want to try to desolder the old LCD first? This is the same board but without A LCD soldered to it. Just the pins ready to solder on a third party LCD.
