PanelDue 4.3" Touchscreen Faux Carbon Fiber Case

thingiverse

I didn't entirely like any of the available options for 4.3" PanelDue Touchscreens, so I made my own. With a faux carbon fiber twill faceplate, even! The effect is hard to capture up close on camera, but looks great in person. It's also a tricky print, though, so you don't have to do it if you don't want to (see print settings for hints on how to make it work). This is, I think, about as compact as a case could be for one of these touchscreens, at least without doing a stepped back plate. Note that this requires you to use the 10-wire SD connector ribbon, unless you want to do a little hacking to make a second slot for the 4-wire connector. It does give SD card slot access. You'll need to print: * 1x Case walls. * 1x Case back -- PICK ONE of the (currently) 2 options: one is specially designed to fit the stock control panel mount of an Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus, the other has M3 holes in a 45mm cross pattern that should fit the mounting arm of this fine other case design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1976962 * 1x Top plate -- PICK ONE of the 2 options: plain or faux carbon fiber. NOTE that both are provided upside-down; I don't think the carbon fiber will look right if printed right-side up (feel free to prove me wrong), but the plain version will work fine either way, just depends on whether you prefer top-layer skin lines (or ironing) or your build plate's texture. * 2x M3 2mm spacers for mounting the right-hand side of the touchscreen circuit board inside the case, plus 4x more if you're using the Anycubic Kossel case back. * 2x M3 13.4 or 13.6mm spacers -- I included two heights of these just to allow for variation. These stand off the left-hand side of touchscreen circuit board. Hardware: * 6x M3 nuts (possibly more depending on your mounting scheme). * 4x M3 x 24.6mm buttonhead screws. You could get away with a little longer or shorter, maybe. These are for the outer corners of the case. * 2x M3 x 12mm buttonhead screws. These are for the right-hand side of the touchscreen board. * 4x M3 x 8mm screws for mounting the Anycubic version, or whatever works for you.
