10.1" LCD TV like case

thingiverse

I wanted a compact, portable monitor that I could take with me wherever I go, and that's exactly what I created. To build this portable monitor, I sourced all the necessary components from Aliexpress and eBay. The 10.1-inch LCD screen I chose has a resolution of 1280x800 and is an IPS display. The controller board, which goes by various names such as VS-TY2662-V2 or PCB800809, was carefully selected to ensure compatibility with my chosen LCD screen. It's essential to note that the EJ101IA-01G type LCD requires a specific configuration, so be sure to check for this before making your purchase. The board comes with a small keypad PCB, a cable for connecting it to the main board, and a remote control. I opted for this particular model because it has a connection for speakers, which is essential for an immersive experience. For the speakers, I selected a pair of small speakers designed specifically for LCD monitors. These speakers are compact and provide clear sound, making them perfect for my portable monitor project. To print the frame, I used PETG filament, which offers flexibility compared to PLA, particularly when it comes to the legs. While PLA can also work without issues if handled carefully, I found PETG to be more suitable for this project. The design features sloped surfaces that allow for printing without supports, and it printed successfully with PETG using a part cooling fan turned off. About STLs ================ There are two versions of the front frame available: one with 2-2-2-2 and another with 2-2-4-5 in its name. The edge clearance of the LCD screen is denoted by these numbers. The version with 2-2-2-2 is designed for screens with a 2mm bezel on all sides, although I'm not sure if such screens exist. When I initially measured my screen, I forgot to check all sides and went with this design. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that the screen has different bezel sizes on each side. To address this issue, I created a new version with 2-2-4-5, which fits my screen perfectly. Both versions fit the screen, although the 2-2-2-2 version has a few millimeters of clearance issues. The back frame is compatible with both versions, but the LCD "hole" and positioning differ slightly between them. A FreeCAD file containing all the models is included in the download files for convenience. Additionally, there are two cutouts on the bottom right side: one for a small DPDT switch (model SS12F32) and another for a 3.5mm jack. The idea is to use these cutouts to add a speaker jack to the monitor, but since the controller board only has one connector, I opted for a physical switch instead. Once I acquire the necessary parts, I can easily pop out the cutouts without having to reprint or modify the frame.
