I don't care much for the Graphical LCD screen mount included in the kit. It gets the job done, but I would rather be able to access the SD card slot from the side like on the basic LCD screen instead of having to reach behind the Graphical LCD and find the slot.
pichuete,
Are you using the firmware the was on the board, or did you flash the one listed in the build guide?Last edited by razer1141; 12-16-2014 at 01:07 PM.

I'm currently using the stock firmware. I'll update it when I get home and report back. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, had the same issue. I'm thinking if I get slightly longer LCD cables (the ones included were a pretty tight fit to begin with). I can print a new LCD mount that has the screen against the left side bracket that way the card can be accessed from the side like on the other screens.

Yikes, I didn't think the SD card location could get worse but apparently it has!
Another thing to think about is getting a Raspberry Pi and running an Octoprint server. You can send files through your internet browser through wifi to the raspberry pi's sd card and then the pi just hooks in to the usb port of your ramps board. It's one of the best and most plug and play upgrades you can make on your printer! You could likely buy everything you need for the same price of longer LCD cables and you time of upgrading the mounts.
I hated having to pop that sd card in and out every time I needed to make a change and I haven't done it since. I'm actually running mine with the LCD detached right now!
