Marlin Bitmaps

Marlin lets you add custom graphics for your 3d printer's boot and status screens. You can generate your own using the online conversion tool, but where can you find ones that people have already made?

This repository is an attempt to create an archive of boot and status graphics for use with Marlin 2.x.

Usage

Copy the file you want to Marlin/_Bootscreen.h or Marlin/_Statusscreen.h as appropriate. See https://marlinfw.org/docs/configuration/configuration.html#firmware-info for more details.

If you are using Marlin 1.x, you may need to convert the files to work. You can paste the content into https://marlinfw.org/tools/u8glib/converter.html to do this.

Installing Marlin itself

There are so many machines that run Marlin that adding instructions on how to install firmware for each of them here would be pointless. However, you can almost certainly find instructions by searching for marlin upgrade {your_printer}.

Having said that, they're reasonably similar, so here are some links that will probably help you get started:
