20x4 LCD Housing for 18mm MDF

thingiverse

20x4 LCD housing: a sturdy foundation for your project. Secure the housing in place using M2.5 bolts, which provide a strong grip on the surrounding material. If needed, drill out larger M3 holes to accommodate additional screws, as the bosses are generously sized to support them. This housing is designed to perch comfortably atop an 18mm MDF edge, allowing cables to be neatly routed through the MDF at the rear for a tidy finish. To ensure a secure hold, use small wood screws if desired, although the friction fit should provide a snug seal on its own. To achieve a smooth front surface and minimize support requirements, print the housing face down. This approach yields a professional-looking result with minimal additional supports needed. When printing this design, apply supports everywhere to ensure a successful outcome.
