An alternative dark GUI design for your 3D printer. I did not like the default one, so I have decided to make my own for better user experience and also printer looks really cool with that.

Installation is quite simple and it requires just few steps.

How to install dark theme

1. Turn OFF your printer

2. Prepare the SD card

• Format the SD Card with standard settings. Capacity should be in the range of 2-16 GB. Stock card with 8 GB capacity is absolutely sufficient. For file allocation use 4096 kb and format type should be FAT32.

3. Download the Files

• Exctract Ender5_Plus_Dark_Theme_1_0.zip and copy all the files to your SD Card. When it is done, safely remove and disconnect the SD card from your computer.

4. remove bottom metal plate on your printer

• Unscrew all 6 screws and remove the bottom cover plate (do not forget to disconnect the fan inside) so you can get access to your LCD display from the bottom.

5. Insert the SD card

• Insert the SD card into the SD slot on the LCD Display in your printer as seen on the picture. Remember pins of your SD card are pointing towards your LCD.

6. Turn ON the printer

7. Let the printer work

• Printer will now copy the files into memory. The entire process should take about 30 seconds

Once copied, the printer starts replacing all the pictures and icons and you will see them " flickering " on the screen .

10. Turn ON your printer

11. switch to English language>

• In case you have Chinese language, switch to English.

12. DONE! and enjoy

• Voilá, you a have brand new graphic style on your Ender5 PLUS.

NOTES:

• In case you would change your mind and you would like to go back for the default blue one simply download the second .zip file " Creality_7.32_Screen.zip" and use these files. These clean files are the creality original. Then start the process again.

• You do not need to format your SD card if you had the previous files. Just simply replace and overwrite them.

• Dark theme works for English language only.

• Chinese language will be made if there will be demand for that and if someone will help me with the texts :-)

• If there are problems after upgrading,please try it again.

• Owl model is there just for the testing purposes and TV upload system
