PART II: STACKER S2/S4 USER GUIDE 4
2. CONTROLS
2.1. LCD Controls
The LCD controller is a very powerful tool for operating your printer. For most users, the LCD
controls will be used for basic functions like warming up the printer’s nozzles and bed, and
starting from and SD card and stopping prints. The following section is provided for the
advanced users. The LCD menus enable the user to do just about anything that can be done
with Stacker RUN. Because the LCD menus provide so much control, you should always be
very careful when making changes to your printer’s settings through the LCD.
Default Screen
The Stacker splash screen will appear briefly on your LCD screen during startup. When the
splash screen vanishes, you will see the default screen. The default screen divided into four
quadrants which provide basic information about the printer’s status.
<The top left quadrant shows the actual extruder and bed temperatures, as well as, the
temperatures the bed and extruder are attempting to reach. In the image above, the bed
and extruder are both showing about 25°C which is near room temperature, and they are
set to a temperature of 0°C, so the extruders are turned off. Below the temperatures, it
shows the number of copies selected. On our screen, it shows 0 copes which means multi-
part mode has not been turned on and the printer will only print with head one.
<The lower left displays the speed multiplier and the buffer number.
<The upper right shows the position of extruder one. In our case, the printhead has been
homed to the X, Y, Z position of 0,0,0.
<The lower right quadrant shows the amount of filament that has been extruded during the
print. In our case, the number is 0.00m.
