Customizable front panel button for Anycubic Kossel

thingiverse

A custom button for the front panel LCD, based on a RepRapDiscount 2004 display used by Anycubic Kossel printers. This includes models such as the Anycubic Kossel Plus and Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus. The design is an adaptation of @HaTomX's Kill Button for Anycubic Kossel, reworked in OpenSCAD with a few tweaks. Because STL previews do not display text without using Thingiview to examine the bottom layer of the print, several options are provided: - PANIC! - STOP! - [Exclamation triangle](https://fontawesome.com/icons/exclamation-triangle) - $#!% - *A back arrow* - [back chevron](https://fontawesome.com/icons/chevron-circle-left?style=solid) As a user of Klipper for my Kossel Plus, it is easy to reconfigure the purpose of this button on the LCD panel. I trust the power switch more for an emergency stop than a pin that requires software sampling, and it is also located on the front of the printer. Therefore, I decided to repurpose this button as a quick "back" button for the LCD menus. This can be configured in Klipper with the following settings in the printer.cfg file (this requires [board_pins aliases to be set up](https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-ramps.cfg#L86)): [display] #kill_pin: ^!EXP2_8 back_pin: ^!EXP2_8 This could also be repurposed in Marlin, but that requires recompilation of the firmware. Several pre-generated STLs are provided, but the customizer (or OpenSCAD itself) can be used to generate custom text / icons. If using OpenSCAD offline, you will need to install the Font Awesome Free fonts: https://fontawesome.com/download and potentially Google Fonts if you want to use those: https://fonts.google.com/ (such as "Share Tech Mono" or "Orbitron").
