Case study
Addify 3D printer
The Addify printer’s thermal UI on STM32: TouchGFX screens from the supplied designs, PNG assets, PID on the heater, and a developer mode for the display and touch.

The problem
A printer’s thermal control is a number on a heater, and it is also a screen an operator has to trust. The UI has to match a supplied design, and there has to be a way to prove the touch and the display before anyone argues about the temperature.
What I built
Addify is a 3D printer thermal-management UI on STM32. The graphics tool is TouchGFX. I implemented the screens from the designs I was given, with PNG rendering through STM UI tools. PID runs the thermal control on the same platform. A developer mode is in the firmware so the display and the touch can be checked on their own, before anyone walks the full operator flow.
