GEEETech i3B: LCD Box

thingiverse

My search for safeguarding every cable of my printer had narrowed down to only the backside of the LCD control panel left unprotected... with a double deviation adder positioned around the extruder and in the rear of the MK8 to illuminate the filament change area.\nWith this fully outfitted LCD box, the job is done...\nthanks to an SD card extension cable placed "strategically" (purchased from aliexpress) and a firmware micro-modification allowing me to control the SD card change even without physical contact... now there are no longer exposed cables throughout my printer.\nSo it can be situated properly on any desk, without fear that the overzealous dustbuster will knock out a connection making my printer useless!\nPS: if you also install the same SD card extension cable to command the change of board... then you must modify the file ultralcd.cpp by uncommenting or restoring the sending of the M21 command... I've done so:\nif (card.cardOK)\n{\n if (card.isFileOpen())\n {\n if (card.sdprinting)\n {\n MENU_ITEM(function, MSG_PAUSE_PRINT, lcd_sdcard_pause);\n }\n else\n {\n MENU_ITEM(function, MSG_RESUME_PRINT, lcd_sdcard_resume);\n }\n MENU_ITEM(function, MSG_STOP_PRINT, lcd_sdcard_stop);\n }\n else \n {\n MENU_ITEM(submenu, MSG_CARD_MENU, lcd_sdcard_menu);\n // MENU_ITEM(submenu, MSG_CARD_ANALIZER, lcd_sdcard_analizer);\n // #if SDCARDDETECT < 1\n MENU_ITEM(gcode, MSG_CNG_SDCARD, PSTR("M22")); \t// SD-card changed by user\n // #endif\n }\n}\nelse \n{\n MENU_ITEM(submenu, MSG_NO_CARD, lcd_sdcard_menu);\n // #if SDCARDDETECT < 1\n MENU_ITEM(gcode, MSG_INIT_SDCARD, PSTR("M21")); // Manually initialize the SD-card via user interface\n // #endif
