no preview on Display available since FW 5.1
Hello,
since I updated to Firmware 5.1.2 there is no more preview of the file to print on the printer display available. Only informations were the expected Filament lenght and weight.
Is there a possibillity to get the pictures back? This would also help me to check if the file is really the right one before printing it.
I use Prusa Slicer 2.7.1.
Thnaks a lot
RE: no preview on Display available since FW 5.1
There has been a change in the image format used so you need to reslice the files and then print the new versions.
Here's a quote from a recent blog post;
"The third thing we did: we replaced the PNG thumbnails in the G-code file with a much more efficient QOI image format, again saving a substantial amount of space. The only downside is that there was no way to ensure backward compatibility – this is why the thumbnails will work correctly only with firmware 5.1.0 and PrusaSlicer 2.7.0 (and newer releases). We believe it’s a small price to pay considering the benefits it brings. Also, the .bgcode file format can be read only by 3D printers running firmware 5.1.0 and newer."
