What is this kit for and why should I get it?
This kit replaces the stock color LCD to give you more control and features over YOUR printer.
This is NOT typically needed (unless you are having issues) if you have the DWIN or DACAI type LCD but if you have the VIEWE LCD and want to use our firmware and/or upgrades then it is needed. Not sure what one you have? See our article here: Creality Printers – DACAI, DWIN, VIEWE Color LCDs – TH3D Studio Help Center
This goes great with our EZABL kit for automatic bed leveling. Once you have this installed you will flash your printer using the Ender 3 firmware settings, not the Ender 3 V2.
Requires a firmware update that is included with the purchase of this kit. The Ender 3 V2 has a bootloader already and updates with the SD slot by placing a firmware file on the card and turning the printer on. See the firmware page for full details on how to use and update the firmware.
Will this work with Klipper?
Yes, these LCDs and the stock board are supported by Klipper firmware. However, due to the complexity of Klipper, our technical support that is included does NOT apply if you are using Klipper firmware. Technical support only applies when you are using our Unified 2 Firmware package that is included.

I picked up an Ender3v2 with no LCD off of Craigslist for $40. I needed the easy button and this was it. Not only was it easy, it’s been dead nuts reliable. Add in the support and it’s a no brainer bargain.
