7 Inch LED/LCD Monitor shroud (sun shroud)

thingiverse

Sun/light shroud for 7 inch led/lcd/TFT monitors for FPV - important you print it in 'high quality' on the Replicator 2 options - otherwise it prints very 'stringy' on the inside face print. If you print it on 'fast' settings, I dealt with this by applying PVA to the inside surface of the print when finished, to bond the stringiness together and it worked really well. Can spray paint it after that if your'e fussy :-) I only print using PLA (not ABS). SEE also Mk2 - thinner, simpler, quicker to build and works well for purpose - print in High Quality 15% fill, Shells 3, Layer 0.10 If you experience 'banding' on the first layer, don't worry it doesn't seem to affect the final finish. Don't know why it does this - maybe something in the Makerbot ware to stop warping??? Outer finish off build plate is fine (the outside aesthetic look - see pics) Super-glue (CA glue) the bevelled faces together to form the shroud as one piece if you prefer (I did). Velcro strips on the outside of the monitor frame - mid 1/3 top, mid 1/3 left and mid 1/3 right and the hook on the opposite inside the printed frame secures it perfectly. Newbe here .... my first submission - picture is rubbish - thingi works well for purpose !! I promise to get better at this :-)
