BTT 5-inch HDMI V1.0 LCD Display for Raspberry Pi 4B

Displays always enhance any DIY project as we all enjoy some visual interfaces to interact with. A 3D printer is so much more convenient to use with a nice display. BigTreeTech has designed a multitude of displays to plug and play with DIY projects and 3D printers. This BTT HDMI 5-inch V1.0 LCD Display is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 and the Mantra series motherboards. As any of these Makers could tell you, Raspberry Pi is an incredibly powerful mini-computer board that is capable of so much and is considered open-source to all. We were delighted to see one of our favourite brands of 3D pinter upgrades come out with the BTT HDMI 5-inch Touch LCD Display for Raspberry Pi 4B!

The BTT HDMI 5-inch V1.0 LCD Display offers 800x480 resolution and an intuitive Raspberry Pi 4B interface. A read-mounted interface is positioned to optimize the overall appearance of these large displays and avoid twisting wires, creating a neat compact side panel for your 3D printer. The BTT HDMI 5-inch V1.0 LCD Display also adopts the 3.3V power supply from your Raspberry Pi itself so no external power source is required. The HDMI port and USB-C power input make it functional without the fuss of installing drivers. This screen is plug and play for your DIY projects and Mantra series 3D printers.

The BTT HDMI 5-inch V1.0 LCD Display makes a fantastic Touch screen with 5-point capacitive control and even includes features such as adjustable backlight brightness using a push buttons. You can bestow visual capabilities onto your next Pi Project with this 5-inch screen that works wonderfully as a small control panel or a face display for your Pi robot to switch between emoji expressions. Just like the endless potential of Raspberry Pi devices, the BTT HDMI 5-inch V1.0 LCD Display is a versatile and fantastic module to help you achieve your Maker visions.

As one of the rising stars in the world of 3D Printer Component Research and Development, BigTreeTech have certainly hit the ground running, entering the market in 2015 and spending their early stages primarily learning, researching, testing and developing, before producing some truly impressive results. From simple but effective upgrades to standard parts, all the way through to completely custom parts that no other brand offered at the time, BigTreeTech now have an incredibly diverse range, with almost no area of 3D Printing being left out.

Some of BigTreeTech’s most notable additions to the world of 3D Printing include the SKR Motherboard Range for numerous different 3D Printer models, the awesome TFT Touch Display Range with fancy features like dual-mode operation, as well as their very impressive Stepper Driver Range that cater to all tastes and preferences under the sun. And of course, to top it all off, BigTreeTech also have a sister company named BIQU, and we must admit that they have been producing some pretty impressive (and low price) 3D Printers, with the BIQU B1 possibly becoming a new rival to the Ender 3.

Of course, it’s easy to see that BigTreeTech are modern masters of 3D Printing R&D, and while we do still have a lot of different parts that we want to test out from them, so far we’ve been extremely happy with what they’re capable of producing – all while fitting into same kind of hobbyist budget that they used to operate on as Makers and Tinkerers themselves.
