Information on main screen

Information on main screen

I think there is room for improvement on the information shown on the screen when printing.

Would be useful to see the nozzle and bed temperatures, as well as the current z hight.

Also, when a colour change is set, the screen only shows the total time of the print - the Mk.3 screen also shows the time to the colour change.

RE: Information on main screen

Board and firmware are similar to XL and Mini so I'm sure there's a Footer option in the LCD display that allows you to show the temps and Z height.

I'm certainly no expert on firmware - perhaps the firmware for the Mk4 / XL / AFS CoreXY was based on the Mini firmware, which, according to a post over on the Mini /Mini+ section, had the colour change time until sometime around the 4.4.1 Mini firmware update. 

On the main graphic screen, I'm not sure the bar graph on the right-hand side of the display adds much information, the % display and the change of colour on the model would be enough for me.

RE: Information on main screen

I'd definitely prefer that the screen displayed during printing is customizable. I agree that the graphic with a vertical status bar doesn't provide me with any useful information. I'd much rather have similar information to the Mk3 displays, especially the time to a color change.

Pressing the main dial will swap screens to a more useful display but it soon goes back to the graphic. I look the customizable footer but combine this with the time until a color change and the total finish time would be ideal for me.
