Ender 3 LCD Right Angle & Relocation

thingiverse

To fit my Ender 3 into a cabinet, I needed to relocate the LCD/control panel to a new spot. In this case, I moved it from the front-right original location to the back-left corner, rotated at 90°. This Thing includes 3 main components: • Rear LCD cover panel • LCD base • Short frame extension / clip The clip snaps into holes in the base, and fits into the extruded frame component / foot of the Ender 3. This entire set of components places the LCD screen as shown in the included images, and it SHOULD clear the rear cable for heating and grounding the bed, but make sure you double-check before running your machine since it's fairly close quarters there. The LCD rear cover also includes a slot for an SD card reader. You'll need the 18" extension cable, as it's a fairly long reach. I ended up snaking mine through the stepper driver enclosure, but you could also carefully slip it underneath the printer. If you skip the extension clip, you could even attach rubber feet and leave it as a standalone control box. Two notes: The original open-source Ender 3 model from Creality still has old components in it. I had to redesign the rear LCD cover to fit the updated display board, which has 3 EXT ports and a new buzzer location. I also had to adjust the extruded frame profile slightly, as, again, the Creality model had a slight difference in the extrusion shape vs what I measured.
