    I'd like to add a Full Graphics Controller to my printer, and understand the basic process thanks to the following videos:




    However, I'm not sure what firmware I have or how to obtain it in order to make the changes. http://forums.robo3dprinter.com/index.php?forums/official-documentation.14/ has a few threads about firmware, but I believe there are variances depending on whether or not your printer has auto-bed-leveling (mine does) and the type of threaded rods in use (I think mine are 5/16"; I read somewhere that if they go to the top of the printer they are 8mm, and if not they are 5/16"). There might even be variances based on the hotend (I have the hexagon). There are likely 4 or more different variants depending on how the printer was built.

    I'd like to add this to the wiki, but I need the info in order to do so.

    Very cool, Mike!

    In the interim, what firmware would be used for a 5/16" rod, hexagon heat with auto-bed leveling?

    Mike, I was following the Wiki guide above and mine is the all metal print head. There was no question #4 though. Is that firmware in the quote correct if I have the auto levelling and the all metal hot end?

    Never mind Mike, I just tried it and it is. Thanks for the link.
