[SOLVED] Thumbnails in display

Under Cura I can show thumbnails in the display.

In S3D I have made these settings, but no preview is displayed.

My printers are the Ender 3 v2 and v2 neo.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not working with my printers?

Re: Thumbnails in display

You have to use very specific encodings and thumbnail sizes for the image to display. We already released a profile for the Ender 3 V2 that should work without any changes. Go to Help > Configuration Assistant, type in "Ender 3 V2 Neo" and then download that profile. We have tested this with our own V2 Neo and it displays the thumbnails correctly.

Re: [SOLVED] Thumbnails in display

The Sonic Pad is based on Klipper, so if you're using that with your printer try the following thumbnail settings:

Thumbnail encoding: "OctoPrint, Klipper, Sonic Pad..."
Thumbnail sizes: include 2 sizes - 32x32 and 300x300

Re: [SOLVED] Thumbnails in display

Has this been tested on the Elegoo Neptune 4 ?

Re: [SOLVED] Thumbnails in display

Many printers require specific thumbnail resolutions, so the settings that work for one machine may not work with another.

I believe the issue in this thread is solved, but if you are still having trouble with your machine first try going to Help > Configuration Assistant within S3D to see if we already created a profile with thumbnail support. If you're still having trouble, please make a new thread.
