Ender-5 Control Panel Cover and 3.5 inch Pi Touch Screen for OctoDash

thingiverse

### What is this thing? This is an Ender-5 control cover that covers the back of the control panel to protect the electronics. Attached to that cover is a Raspberry Pi case with a 3" touch screen. I am running OctoDash in the pictures but you could run any of the available touch screen interfaces for Octoprint (Octopi) or whatever software you use with your Ender-5. ### Printing I used support when I printed this. You can decide if you really need it for your printer. After I printed it I thought that maybe I could have gotten away with not needing it but you can determine based on your experience with your printer if it is needed or not. ### Assembling The holes are sized to use the brass inserts that can be inserted into 3d prints with a soldering iron. Your screw size will depend on the size of the inserts you have or get. In my case I used M3 threaded brass knurled nuts and M3 screws I have used on other projects. ### The Screen The sizing of the screen was based around the waveshare 3.5" display that has the resolution of 320x480. I purchased it from Amazon. ### The Design This design was inspired by 2 other designs on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3353394 by kilroy01 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3103425 by ironMANN When I say inspired I mean mostly copied and then combined into a new thing. So very special thanks to both of them for their designs.
