MPC3000 big LED Display finished

Hey girls and guys,
I just finished the big LED display for the MPC3000.

if there is some interest i can see if i can make some more.

Happy New Year,
FLub

Forgive the silly question please, but what's the advantage of this display? The LED screen is easier to read compared to the OEM LCD screen?

The original LCD Screen has very low contrast and its backlight is made of electrolumiscent foil which needs an high frequency inverter which leads to high pitched beep tone when the machine is on.
Furthermore the El foil gets old and needs to be replaced sometimes.

Nice work on the new LED display. Seems very clear and legible from the video.

hey flub im interested,

any colour options?

ideas as to cost?

does it fit in the og casing or you had to alter the og casing also?

plug and play?

please let us know

one Half of the Display is a 3D printed part. I can do it a little bit cleaner than I did it on mine, especially letters (mpc3000). This thing can be screwed on the white plastic backing of the display (where you touch when you change the angle of the display...) then it is more or less plug and play.

For now it is only a green colored backlight. Off course there might be a possiblity for other colors but i dont want to put too much time into that now. I took me a lot of time to get the display working because i didnt have enough know how in the beginning )

I can make another one and see how long it takes me to build it then i can make the price.
I think it is around 150 Euro.
just write me a pm.

regards

Interesting Change!!

I´m Interested Would buy one!!

Do i need to modify any parts of the MPC except the Display itself? (e.g. soldering, crimping, etc.)

Cool. Then i will order some connectors and stuff, because i used just the ones from the original display.
No actually you just have to deconnect the inverter board from the main board ( two wire connector ) and put the backlightcable of the display on that connector instead.

hey flub,

im going to take a back seat for now as i really want a different colour


when you can do a white on black i'll have monies ready, you could also prehaps if theres more demand set up a kickstarter to help fund your process.

Very interested in this for my VX-600. Can you post some more pics and info regarding physical dimensions, installation procedure and parts used? Thanks!

the sound of a really dry marker against paper:




but seriously, nice job on the screen!

keep us updated flub regarding your mod, as i want white on black ,
