Warning: This design is specifically tailored for the exact components listed in the Bill of Materials (BOM) and will not work with any other parts. If you choose to use anything outside of the BOM, your results may vary. For mounting the PiTFT Plus and Raspberry Pi 3B+ in a case on the left side of the Ender 3/Pro that matches the stock screen on the right side of the printer. This design supports using all cables, including the Pi Camera Ribbon Cable, except for the HDMI port. If you have the stock end stop, you cannot use the HDMI port. However, if you have ABL (Automatic Bed Leveling), you can remove the stock end stop and utilize the HDMI port. The temperature of the Pi is approximately 50-55C in a 70F room environment. I've never observed it exceeding 61C during operation.

The screen should now be secure and not wobble up and down when touched.
