LCD 2004 Shim / spacer for repairing a bad LCD screen

thingiverse

This is a 0.4 mm thick shim to repair a (type 2004) LCD screen when it is not or only partially displaying characters. My lcd screen (geeetech i3 aluminium) had the problem where the display only works when pushed on, so i designed this spacer to keep the right pressure on the screen. How to: 1) Removing the screen from your printer 2) Bend the metal tabs on the back of the panel to remove the metal lcd mount 3) Put this shim between the lcd and the metal mount 4) reassemble and test the screen before mounting it back on the printer, you might need to use more than 1 shim.
