Thanks!
Good luck! Your imagination is the only limit!
P.S. Its kinda crazy how it changed my view of the world. If there is anything that is kinda troublesome, most of the time the first thing that comes to mind is: ‘Can I print something that would help?’ Then maybe I realize there are better options out there, or that right now dont have time for it. x)
I picked up an inexpensive “open box - brand new” Ender 3 just after Christmas. Figured it was cheap enough to give up if I didn’t like it, with enough open routes to tweak and improve if I stuck with it.
The display panel shows only a blue screen after assembly,though. Oddly enough, the only part not sealed perfectly (in its antistatic bag) was the panel. Packing slip noted it had been previously returned as it was “ordered by mistake.” Got a feeling the prior owner swapped the panel out with a defective one, then returned it. Waiting on a replacement to ship out as a result.
I’ve fixed blue screens by flashing the correct firmware. Have you given that a try?
^^this. Also if you open up the screen, maybe someone tried to flash it and left the SD card inside, that will cause this too. Ask me how I know 🤦♂️
That’s next on my list, if the replacement panel doesn’t fix the issue. Figured I’d go with the obvious solution first. Doesn’t help that I took a long look at the list of the firmware available for the Ender 3, and figured I’d cross that bridge another day. Creality does not make it simple to identify what’s what.
What kind of Ender 3 is it? I flashed mine when I swapped to the silent mainboard. If you can figure out what kind of board you have, and any accessories that plug into the board, you should be able to narrow it down quite a bit.
Just the basic Ender 3, I believe. No version number, so implied v1. Not a Pro, SE, or other appendment to the model.
Enjoy the new rabbit hole you just fall into :) 3D printing is really nice and can be helpful sometimes too. I’ve printed some good stuff from Thingiverse or Printables before starting to create my own simple designs. You save money at some point and you have more fun than going to the store or ordering online.
It’s also great to be able to say: it’s not perfect but I made it ;)
nice, I got myself an anycubic kobra 2 pro (got it cheap for only 290€)
Hey OP, welcome to the best hoby ever 🎇
About LCD, Im not sure what model exactly you have, but there is something you can try. If you have 2 cables running from MBO to LCD, make sure you dont swap them. Also make a protective shield out of aluminium foil and cover the cable length. If it doesnt work I hope.you get replacement asap. Enjoy!
Welcome!
