Tiger Touch for Prusa 3D printers

Tiger Touch turns a BIGTREETECH Panda Touch or K-Touch into a live screen for your Prusa printers through PrusaLink: progress, time left and temperatures.

Tiger Touch on a Panda Touch showing a Prusa Core One printing: progress bar, time left and temperatures

What it shows

  • State, progress, time left and the file being printed
  • Nozzle and bed temperatures, the chamber on a Core One

From the screen

Pause, resume and stop through PrusaLink; stop asks for a confirmation first. PrusaLink has no light command, so the light button stays dimmed.

How it connects

PrusaLink over HTTP on your local network, with Digest authentication (or the legacy API key when your account holds one).

Tested on real printers

Seen on a real Prusa: state, progress, time left and temperatures, and pause, resume and stop through PrusaLink.

Set it up in three steps

  1. 1

    Enable PrusaLink on the printer and note its user and password.

  2. 2

    Add the printer in Tiger Studio Manager (desktop app).

  3. 3

    Flash Tiger Touch, sign in with the same TigerSystem account, and switch the printer on in Settings > Printers.
