As a LD-002R user, have you ever getting tired of changing the screen every 200 hours? Here’s the step by step guide to convert your LD-002R into LD-002H. LD-002H Mono Screen Lifespan is at 2000 hours which is 10 times of the LD-002R RBG Screen, make your life easier & better.
Since LD-002R Screen size is 5.5inch & LD-002H Screen size is 6.08inch, it won’t be directly compatible but here we will have a tutorial to teach you how to upgrade it with just LD-002H screen and printed mod. This conversion not only apply to LD-002R but if you have other RBG printer with Chitu L V3 Board, you are able to use this mod (with custom screen riser)

Remove the existing LCD Screen
LD-002R originally comes with black tape and some times it may be hard to remove. Follow this youtube link to learn how to get the screen out from the machine. If your screen too tightly glue to the machine, you may use Hot Gun or Hair Dryer to heat up and slowly take the screen off the machine.
Install the Screen Riser & LD-002H Screen
After removed the screen, install the Riser on top of it, then put the double sided tape at the side of the screen.
put the screen on top of the riser and tape it with black tape at the side to prevent resin leak. Screen protector is recommended to covers the bezel and the screen as the screen is much expensive and you wouldn’t want spoil by resin leak.
Install the limit switch adapter mod
Since the screen has been raised around 2mm, the limit switch must change so it will detect early otherwise it will crush on to the screen. the adapter mod must be printed in black otherwise the optical limit switch will not detect the trigger.
Update Firmware into LD-002H
Thankfully, ChituSystem has pre-compiled a firmware that dedicated for this case
Dropbox Link ChiTu L V3 for DXQ608 Firmware
You only need to update the.CBD file and.SH4 file.
Since LD-002R is using 3.5 Inch Screen, do select the bin file contain name 3.5 inch screen and flash.
In this case:
【Touch Screen UI 3.5】L V3-UI-C-V1.0u-R3.5 inch-320x480-0596&0608-2K-20210605.bin · 1.2 MBLearn how to update firmware please check here:

Boot Up & Test the Screen
Boot Up, Press System, Calibration and Next, Make sure the shape appeared on the screen. If it wasn’t appearing, try reseat the cable as the cable maybe loose.
Last Step: Re-level the bed and start print
Since the bed has been moved, re-level the bed by following the video below, and that’s all. You may start your print!
Problem after upgrade. That worked but then Chitubox went to 1.9 and the machine will not read the new format. used the updated firm where and now it prints long lines and nothing else. I used the LD002r upgrade. should I use the 002H because I upgraded the screen?
There are five files in the provided firmware .rar, but no indication which ones I’m supposed to use. Your instructions say the cbd and sh4 files. Well, I don’t see an sh4 file. Then it says all I need to flash is the 3.5″ .bin file. I’ve been looking all over and no one seems to definitively cover which firmware files you’re supposed to flash for the 2R model. So, I get the 3.5″ file for the screen size, but do I flash the .cbd file and the .LCD file as well? Or just the .bin?
I’m having an issue with what I assume is the firmware. The lights below the screen are simply flashing and causing issues with prints by curing extra. However when reinstall the 5.5 firmware the flashing stops and it the exposure test looks fine but i can’t print with it because of the size format. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? i’m at my wits end with this and I have orders to fulfill.
light flashing means you are not flashing the correct firmware unfortunately.
DOES NOT WORK. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Bought the screen, made the upgrade as it was saied, and doesn’t show the calibration picture nor is as transparent as the original. complete waste of time and money. Worst than that, the original screen cracked as it was removed, so, now I have a big paper weight.
The LD-002H Screen works for here, have installed it on 3 customers LD-002R. if it remain empty, means the firmware flashing is wrong or wiring.
https://chitusystems.com/product/6-08-inch-mono-lcd-upgrade-kit-for-creality-ld002r/ check if you have installed the correct one.
You may have the Pj3d608v3 instead of the DXQ608-X04. They have apparently swapped to this new screen for the upgrade kits. Check the marking on the ribbon up by the screen. If so, download firmware from this link. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-qqnfUd4SyQY6aH42UTl7hkeceao0XSX
Use the files in V3-v443-PJ-6.08-2k.zip
This right here was my issue, I spent so much time trying to figure it out before coming across it. Thanks for the help!
Brent you are my Hero I have spent weeks trying to get my new screen to work on my LD002 R and came across your comment on here and low and behold it now works. Yeah My Hero.
