[Mercur13]

Please, before you create a new feature request, please make sure you searched in open and closed issues and couldn't find anything that matches.

Enter what type of printer or upgrade the enhancement applies to.
Printer type - [MINI]
MK3.5
Optional upgrades - [e.g. Filament Runout Sensor]
no
Is your suggested improvement related to an existing problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated because I can't have needed Information during printing.
If I print over Octoprint, the Octoprint-Logo is not, what I,m expecting.

Describe the expected functionality
During printing, important information is missing from the print screen on the MK3.5 compared to the info display on my previous MK3S+:

• Print progress in % - only displayed during printing.
• Status bar (Prusa i3 MK3S ready / heating / model name.gcode, etc., IP address)
• Print speed (changeable)
• Estimation of remaining printing time
• Sheet steel type
• Position of the Z axis (can be displayed optionally, but this makes the font in the footer barely readable)

And please no annoying octopus anymore.

Duplicates #3825

[Mercur13]

Sorry, #3825 reflects only to Octoprint. But the behavior is generally a problem !

[danopernis]

Alright, I am going to do it the other way around. Close #3825 and keep this, at this is not really a bug, but more like a feature request/enhancement.

I can't give you any estimate on that, but patches are welcome.

[Mercur13]

Thanks, I declared it already as Enhencement (but very urgent for MK3.5 users), because it means a deterioration compared to the original MK3S+ version.

I can't believe Prusa is shipping the MK3.5 with this stupid logo occupying half the screen and the only useful information being a tiny line on the bottom.

This report should be reclassified as a bug. I upgraded my printer to a new version, and important functionality is missing. By definition, that is a REGRESSION, and all regressions are bugs.

@timur-tabi it's only been over 4 years that the rest of us (Mini owners) have been waiting for this. Get yourself a comfy seat, looks like it's going to be a while longer if it still isn't on any prusa roadmap.

You can workaround this issue like shown in my comment #189 (comment) (I now use [progress]% [current_layer]/[total_layers] [printtime_left] for the output string to show the printtime)

I know this is not the solution, but you get information while we (endlessly) waiting that this issue get fixed.

BTW "Sheet steel type" and "z height" is visible in the footer with latest firmware - at least on my mini. To be kind to the developers ... firmware 5.1.2 was a big octoprint update. I can now change the sheet type, load/unload filament while connected to ocoprint - this was not the case in prior versions and this was absolutely anoying.
