    Head's up that I just found out that you have to do something with an image repository (don't have the full graphics myself). Hopefully someone will chime in.

    Full Graphics is not plug an play. Requires 2 edits to the firmware. Very easy to do and I can walk you through it when that time comes. Just let me know.

    Technically you could get by with one edit, because the way the firmware is written when you enable the Full Graphic LCD Smart Controller (edit 1) and disable the 4 x 20 LCD Smart Controller (edit 2), as part of the Full Graphics enabling it re-enables the LCD Smart Controller. I know its kinda dumb but I didn't write the code.

    The lines you need to edit in Configuration.h for the Full Graphic Smart Controller are (based on Auto_Level_7_17_8mm Robo firmware):
    Code:
    Line 515
-    //#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
+    #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

Line 505
-    #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
+   //#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

    Me either or it would fail (when it failed) more spectacularly.

    Mike do you have a fan mount for the front and back that fit the stock hexagon? I have now printed 3 that seem to be just a little bit too low and scrape the build surface or knock off prints.

    Are you trying to use ones with a fan shroud? I have not found the shroud necessary when using two fans, and I am using low noise fans too. More than enough airflow without the shroud.

    The clip ones also limit your z height because they hit the case.

    Like I said, you could get by without disabling REPRAPDISCOUNT_LCD_SMART_CONTROLLER since it would be enabled anyway by the full graphic LCD, So one edit!:D

    Lol, hey Mike, I printed this and it kind of melted a little. Should I have added more infill or do I just need to print it in ABS or something a little higher? I figured it being near the fans it would be alright?

    PLA is not the right material for something like this, ABS will work and so would PET or Nylon.

    Well just make sure that the heat block is as far away from it as possible by turning the hotend some if needed. I used that one on my e3d v6 for like a month and it never melted. Printed it with pla as well. Just gotta be careful is all.

    Yea, I had one I printed out of PLA that was fine. Later replaced with Alloy 910, but the PLA one didn't have a major meltdown or anything.

    I think I pressed it up just a little far. It gooed onto my platform, only way I even noticed. Mark, this alloy 910 you speak of guessing it's like a metal filament?

    I've never used PET before or nylon. Well really nothing but PLA, but I was going try to do an ABS print this weekend. I did order some PET from amazon that arrives tomorrow. Do I need to use the oiler on ABS or PET like I do with PLA or do anything else special to the filament? (Sorry I know i'm a super newb I just started really getting into this 3d printing stuff)

    Awesome thanks I ordered some, hopefully that'll fix my melting issue
