Description

I personally like and am happy with the standard “as shipped” Touch Screen graphics that come on the Sidewinder. I have modified my touchscreen to include TeachingTech’s extra buttons for bed leveling, baby-stepping, and EEprom save. However; the standard “Move Menu” buttons have always seemed out of whack showing diagonal double arrows for X and Y when X is more logically left to right and Y is towards and away. Also, the Y+ button on top you would think might move bed back; and Y- forward (Think if replaced with a rocker switch or gimbal). Instead their position feels backwards to the movements they make. Not looking to modify all the icons and not having the current capability to change button locations, these graphics (which I can control) I feel are more representative of the movements you expect and inherently easier to follow.

WATCH THE INSTALLATION VIDEO BELOW AND CHANGE YOUR TFT FIRMWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK! It's not difficult and basically re-flashing stock tft firmware, but any prior configs would be lost and messing with firmware always has some risk. I am simply supplying the converted bmp files.

If you don’t have them already, download the stock TFT firmware files from https://github.com/artillery3d/sidewinder-x1-tft-firmware If you have Auto Bed Leveling, you've probably upgraded your TFT already and have the files. REPLACE THE 6 BIN FILES (NOT THE Move Buttons.JPEG or TS Frame.stl files) with those of same name in the pics folder and save to a microSD; then booting up the printer with the microSD inserted will update the TFT automatically. You will have to go to /Set/File on your screen once booted and change back to USB if you print files from a USB stick. Otherwise it will say no files found. I believe you have to include the whole pic file folder at the very least.

You can watch the TFT firmware installation by TeachingTech at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3zEJGOcz7s (around the 5:50 mark).

His pre-configured TFT files with z offset buttons are here. https://teachingtech.gumroad.com/l/MZegi

Since Thingiverse requires one of a dozen file formats or so to post, I am including a free Touch Screen Frame for looking. *double stick adhesive tape not included!
