Re: Confused between different LCD2004 models

Good news! 've found a decent workaround to fix the LCD2004 incompatibility issue. Being rather stubborn and don't giving up easily, studying the schematics suddenly it came to my attention the fact that the different pinout on the red board were nothing but the same configuration of the GT2560, onl...

Re: Confused between different LCD2004 models

Yes, as long as they don't start changing the solder mask color of the wrong model... ;)

MK8 extruding PLA but not ABS

Hi all, I'm new to 3D printing, but after building my Geeetech I3 Pro B and using up some 1/2 kg of PLA filament for tests, I got to know the basics of a correct printer and extruder calibration and was able to get (almost) decent prints, coping with the many issues plaguing this printer, especially...
