<p>The provided part is the official MINI Display Case modded with an integrated USB port.<br>I tried to implement the new feature in the already present design language from Prusa.<br>The mod uses the latest R2 Version of the model. (R8 for the MINI+ version)</p><p>With the new MINI+ and the extruded baseplate, the connection changed. I included new the version. As I do not have a MINI+ I'd be glad if someone confirms that the mod also works on the new MINIs.</p><p>As for the USB-Cable, you need a 90° usb 2.0/3.0 cable with a length of around 25-30cm.<br>The exact cable i used is this one:<br><a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000975142956.html">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000975142956.html</a><br>In the "Bend up USB 3.0" Version.</p><p>No matter what the manufacture says, you need the cable which has the plastic devider of the usb port located at the two holes.</p><p>Alternatively you have the option to buy it from local sites like amazon etc. you have to search a little to find the right adapter but it should be possible.<br><a href="https://amzn.to/3oPStoE">https://amzn.to/3oPStoE</a></p><p>The provided 3mf file includes both neccessary parts (the display case and stopper), you may split the printing process in order to improve quality. In addition you need to pick the right version for your printer (MINI/MINI+) in the object selection screen on the right. The MINI Version is the default.<br>The gcode is designed to print the case for the MINI on the Prusa MINI mit 0.2mm layer heights, all in one go. Use the 3MF file for the MINI+</p><p>I also included the Fusion360 file, with that you can easily adjust the size for the usb cable you have.</p><p>For those who want a back cover, there are two designs:</p><p>@fuchsr, flat cover with recesses for all necessary parts:<br><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/66025-flat-back-cover-for-mini-display-usb-case">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/66025-flat-back-cover-for-mini-display-usb-case</a></p><p>@Plunning, cover that really covers all parts that don't need to be accessed regularly (a little bit more bulky; limited movement)<br><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/53538-mini-display-backcover-mod">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/53538-mini-display-backcover-mod</a></p>
