Top display holder brackets for original Prusa i3 MK2

thingiverse

The original Prusa i3 MK2 is a really nice printer. But I don't like the display/controller sticking out so far at the bottom front of the machine. In order to reduce the footprint I thought it would be a good idea to move the unit to the top next to the spool holder since the "bounding box" of the machine would not be changed by the controller (if you understand what I mean ...). So I used the original Prusa i3 MK2 STL files and remixed a new bracket from the spool holder and the display holder (right one). Since editing STL files with 123Design seems to be a bit strange I sliced both components in the middle (vertical) and created an SVG file with the 2D shape and then extruded it to the right thickness. First try = fit. Really nice :-) Print instructions: print them twice (in orange filament to blend in perfectly). I used PLA and the fit and strength is perfectly.
