P3Steel Configurable LCD Controller Side Mount

thingiverse

This is a remix / mashup of the Full Graphics LCD Controller Mount by oliasmage (Charles Bell), thing #287633, the mounting brackets for the LCD 2004 Smart Controller by Korri, thing #284377, and my earlier LCD Controller Mount for the Prusa i3 6mm frame, thing #587653. Also, the idea for side mounting the LCD controller comes from thing #139529 by Claude Theroux. Either the LCD12864 Full Graphics Controller or the LCD2004 Smart Controller can be used with this mount, by simply adjusting the length of the 8mm threaded rod and printing the correct set of mounting brackets. These LCD controllers are usually shipped with short flat cables (since longer cables tend to pick up electrical noise and render the SD card reader useless), this is one reason why I believe side mounting the LCD controller is a good idea. The other reason is that it leaves enough space to have the filament spool holder on top of the P3Steel. The part that mounts on the frame is designed to fit tightly on either side of the P3Steel frame top (obviously, on the side where the RAMPS board can be found), there are two M3 screws and nuts to provide a semi-permanent attachment. The Open Hardware LCD Controller Knob that can be seen in the first picture is my earlier design, thing #555370. OpenSCAD sources are included with proper attribution to the original author(s) for the parts that have been remixed (unfortunately only the .stl files are available for the LCD2004 brackets). Instructions Printed here in PLA with 35% infill. Requires 6 x M8 nuts, a piece of 8mm threaded rod approximately 150mm long, and 2 x 20mm M3 bolts and nyloc nuts for attaching to the frame, as well as 4 x 10mm M3 bolts and nuts to hold the LCD controller. Attention! Must be scaled up by 1.03 in the slicing software before printing!
