PrintPanel is a family of compact touchscreen displays designed to put useful information exactly where you need it. Built around affordable maker hardware, each edition is purpose-built for a specific job while sharing a common setup, firmware, and web installer experience.
PrintPanel now includes focused smart displays for Bambu Lab printers, local weather, nearby aircraft, and Home Assistant. Each edition shares the same ESP32 CYD hardware, browser-based firmware installer, Wi-Fi setup flow, and local web configuration.
Each PrintPanel edition uses the same idea: a simple touchscreen panel, a focused interface, and a setup flow designed for real-world use.
Built for Bambu Lab printer owners who want a dedicated, glanceable display for printer status, AMS information, and quick system access.
A local tabletop weather display powered by Open-Meteo. It shows current conditions, weather icons, a 5-day forecast, and useful details without requiring an API key.
A dedicated nearby-aircraft display with an interactive full-page radar, live aircraft details, and resilient community ADS-B data.
A focused Home Assistant dashboard for glanceable status information and carefully limited local device controls.
PrintPanel is designed around a common hardware and software foundation, making it easier to support, update, and expand over time.
Compact LVGL-based screens designed for quick information at a glance.
Install firmware directly from a browser using supported ESP32 hardware.
Improv WiFi setup over USB with a fallback local access point when needed.
Each device hosts its own simple configuration page on your local network.
New editions can reuse the same display platform, web installer, and shared icon-font system.
Designed for hobbyists, small shops, and practical everyday display projects.
The goal is to make each PrintPanel edition easy to install, configure, reset, and reuse without requiring users to open the Arduino IDE.
Use the web installer to flash the correct PrintPanel firmware.
Set Wi-Fi credentials through the browser or fallback setup access point.
Enter the settings needed for that edition, such as printer details or weather location.
Mount the panel where it is useful and glance at live information anytime.
