thingiverse

This is a remix from the 5" touchscreen mount that fits the Anycubic Kossel Plus printer, but this remix is also suitable for other printers. Use the existing brackets or build your own! If you have an Anycubic Kossel Plus and want to keep the original display, check out the original design at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3940357. **Also looking for some hardware to mount your raspberry?

Depending on your display's orientation, you can flip the left and right bracket. - Connect the brackets to the frame using a M4 nut and screw. **Parts** - The display can be found on Aliexpress or eBay for around $20-$25.

The picture shows the square one. - Get a HDMI cable with the smallest possible connector size to avoid the print head hitting it. **Cable and wires** Make your own cables using the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. Use a breadboard or a PCB to connect the pins. You can also use a pre-made cable or adapter if you prefer. **Editing config files on your raspberry** There are several ways to edit configuration files on your Raspberry Pi. For this setup, I like to do it in the RPi desktop environment, but here are some options: - The WiFi settings and screen resolution settings can be set directly from a Windows PC using an SD card. - Use the simple program "nano" via SSH login like putty. Always use the sudo command to edit system files. - Or, use a graphical text editor like leafpad to edit straight from the desktop environment. **PLEASE NOTE:** If you want to save edited files that are not in your user folder (system files), start leafpad as a super user by running "gksudo leafpad &".
