Question 1

is this compatible with the e3 pro?

Accepted Answer

This is compatible with the Ender 3 and Ender 3 Pro.

Question 2

How do I get the color touch screen. Mine looks like an old dos computer monitor?

Accepted Answer

Just push the knob for 3 seconds and it will let you switch between the modes.

Question 3

Can this setup be used in other printers besides the Ender 3?

Accepted Answer

Yup.  I'm restoring an old Printrbot Simple Pro to run this board and a TFT35 v2.0.   I downloaded Fusion360, taught myself some basics  (lessons at the university of YouTube) then designed and printed up an extension housing at the front of the Simple Pro frame to mount the touchscreen.   Right now I'm designing a mount for the board and internal cooling.

Then you have to configure the firmware for the board in Marlin.  I don't know Marlin...wait...binges YT videos for a week.... I now know Marlin well enough to configure multiple setups.  The screen is up and running, The stepper motors were all screaming...hmmm...  ahhh...scans BTT Github pages for board pinouts...moved some wires around on the steppers and now ...they are now whisper quiet, like friggin ghost ninjas.  Real quiet.

Still some wiring and tidying up to do, then calibrating.  It is a lot like building a 3D printer from a kit with some of the parts missing and no instructions.  Great fun though.    So to answer your question, Yes, yes you can get this board to work with lots of printers, but it may require some wiring and it will definitely need you to configure firmware to suit it in Marlin (unless someone already built exactly what you need already, then you just upload the pre-built firmware.bin file to your board - but where's the fun in that?)

Question 4

How would I be able to tell if this is compatible with my printer?

Accepted Answer

Technically it’s design for the ender 3 as the name has E3 but if you know what your doing you could Configure Marlon to get it to work with any friends that is FdM.
