LCD screen in the UK

All of them have an SD card reader. It is hidden on the base of the printer.
Turn it on the side and look carefully

 

Did you buy that machine new? Seeing as how there are couplers on the z rod and a ... not stock... heatbed that is NOT a R1+ machine. The SD reader (if still there) is located on the right side of the printer if your looking at the machines "ROBO" lettering.

That last picture is showing someones the heater pad, but it is not stock to any R1+ machine I've seen. There is always an insulation to keep the heat "up". I would also recommend not running the bed with the wires routed the way they are, I have seen people have alot of issues with that.

Please supply more information about the machine and where it came from so we can help you without giving you wrong information.

 

That printer looks like it was at one time an R1 then modified. The SD card was removed as it should have been plugged into the bottom right corner of the RAMPS board. The lead screws are threaded rods so it is likely an 8 mm version of the R1, notice the nuts on the threaded rods. This is from just looking at the pictures.

 

Yea, and that is a second generation R1 bed (but not an R1+) it also has threaded rods and couplers so certainly not an R1+
Someone also removed the SD card reader.

 

yes its called a LCD Controller. Check amazon UK. I'm in the US so not familiar with where you would shop around to find the best deal. There are 2. If the machine has stock firmware the XXL Controller is plug and play. The Full graphic controller does require a firmware change but there are threads dedicated to that in the mods and upgrades. Read through the forum and you'll likely find answers to everything from the whats hows and whys and you can of course ask questions.

8mm is referring to the threaded rods that your machine has. (the Z axis). At least you know it is a working machine. As it sits , if he showed it working, you should be able to use it printing via USB but make sure your computer DOES NOT go to sleep or powersaving mode.

 

bit on the high side IMO but thats stateside and our Us dollar exchange is ...not great. I think new they go on sale around 399.00 or something US. Not sure there are resellers in your area though? Colorfabb in the UK but I dont know if they sell the R1+ model or not.
