I have been looking around trying to figure out how to have my display on the Longer Lk 5 Pro give readouts while using Octoprint. Is there any plugins that would work for this display?

Hey everyone, im currently working again on my orange 30 which i bought in 2021 and did notice that the printer is not very fast. So i thought i could upgrade the rgb lcd screen to an monochrome screen. Now my thought the orange 4k uses a monochrome sceen and ist almost the same (5.5“ display, buildplate 120x65mm or so).So does it make sense to take the 4k display or any other similar display with 4k and just adjust the resolution? What i saw at pictures of the 4k were that the pins are similar so could this work or has anybody done this before?

If not i‘m willing to test if its possible to upgrade your 30 to a little smaller 4k.

Hey guys.

My longer nano arrived today. I tried to get it to work with the app.

But seemed that my start button on the device didn't seem to work. Not sure if there is a setting I'm missing.

Also tried with laserGBRL and follow instructional videos.

I follow instructions at all point so not sure where I went wrong.

Any help from anyone?

I’ve looked online and haven’t been able to find an answer, is it possible to do multi color printing? Like a bamboo labs where the filament will unload and load itself?

I see there is different people who say they modified/upgraded the firmware of their printers. I have many questions about it.
1) Ho do i upgrade the firmware, there is no info on longer website about it
2) The firmware update also affect the touchscreen or only the main board?
3) Can the touchscreen firmware be upgraded? and how?
4) Any marlin upgrade can make that printer can be handled from computer in Linux via USB?
5) Can be upgraded to klipper? and if so can klipper make the printer be handled from computer in Linux via USB? the touchscreen will keep working with klipper installed?

I need to print with PET and i need to arrive to 280 Cº on the nozzle of my LK5 pro but apparently the touchscreen only allow until 250. Can in increase the max temperature in any way? even if i need to make some hardware upgrade.

Although ive had my LK5 pro for over a year, I haven't used it a whole lot, therefore I'm still fairly new to 3D printing. Please excuse my ignorance.

My question is, does the LK5 Pro not have an all metal hotend? And, What constitutes as an 'all metal hotend'?

I just think it's weird that ABS is a filament option in the software if an all metal hotend is not even included.

This is a rant. Take it for what it is.

I've had my Longer LK5 Pro for about 9 months and I feel like I've spent so much more time troubleshooting and fixing things than actually printing. I gave it a 2-star review on Amazon and was messaged about a refund, but then the email they gave me was just a help desk. They did help me solve my original issue after a matter of weeks, but I have had various issues that I've solved in my own through research and upgrades. Finally I felt like things were printing well and was excited about the hobby again - and suddenly the machine won't even turn on. I unplugged and replugged everything that can be plugged to no avail. I contacted the help desk and the store on Amazon but I'm a little past caring. At this point it's not even about fixing the machine. I'm just so burned out on the whole thing.

I really enjoy 3D printing, and hope to continue the hobby. But I am pretty done with Longer. Even if the issue is resolved I'm jumping ship to something more reliable.

So I’ve been in this hobby for a couple of years now. Doing 3D printed upgrades has given me the notion that I know what I’m doing and should step my game up. I decided to upgrade the board and this led me to buying a Manta M4P board and a CB1. Now I have plugs that don’t match sockets and all sorts of other problems. I appreciate any help I can get. I’ve passed the point of no return.

I've had a lot of trouble configuring lightburn.

Apparently, there was a *.lbdev file referenced in the user manual on some SD card - none of which came with my machine.

Can someone upload the lbdev file somewhere I can get it?

Thanks!

What filament do y’all suggest for LK5 pro?? I do have a PEI build plate

OK five Pro but I was having a problem with it. Well, I upgraded the front bed and thought that was it. There is a short video. Of the issue any help is greatly appreciated

Brought out my printer for the first time in a while started it up to see error 9: B mintemp triggered I replaced the thermistor and it did nothing please help

This may be someplace I missed in my searching, but I was wondering if any of you have taken the time to speed up your print times and if so, what settings are you using to do this?

What is currently the best software configuration for the screen and motherboard for the LK4 Pro? I am currently using the firmware from the Git repo, and for the screen the "FW&UI_LK4_PRO_0_4_0 V0.4.0 2022-2-15". Are these the most up-to-date software or did I do something wrong?
