Do I need to update my LCD configuration?

If you have used Alex's firmware and used a DWIN_SET to update your display, you may NOT need to update the display to use this firmware.

Some features, such as G-code preview, need updated firmware to work on some DACAI and TJC displays. Custom icon assets such as Giadej icon set are only supported by DWIN and DACAI displays.

For Ender-3 V2/S1 - if you have the stock icons and display assets, you may NOT need to update the display to use this firmware. Creality currently provides several types of display units with its Ender-3 V2/S1 printers:


How to install

  1. Get an µSD card of 8GB or less.
  2. Format the µSD card MBR, FAT32 and with a 4 KB sector size
  3. Copy the DWIN_SET(DWIN), private(DACAI) or TJC_SET (TJC) folder in the Root of SD
    (For Voxelab Aquila, you may choose one of several sets, just rename it to DWIN_SET)
  4. Turn off your printer
  5. Disconnect and disassembly the screen unit
  6. Install the µSD card into the slot of the screen unit
  7. Reconnect the screen to the printer
  8. Turn on the printer and wait for the display to change color from blue to orange
  9. Verify that the screen assets were updated
  10. Turn off the printer and remove the µSD card from the screen unit
  11. Reassembly the screen unit

If you weren't able to update the display, verify the format of the µSD Card (MBR, FAT32 and allocation unit of 4096 bytes) and the CRC of the files.
