Anet A6 12864 LCD case for AM8 (Anet A8 Metal Frame)

thingiverse

I created this case from scratch, completely independent of Leo_N's design. I had to start over because editing STL files can be a real hassle. This case is meant to attach to the AM8 frame on one side. I designed three different versions: one with an SD card reader, another with a microSD card reader, and a third without any card reader at all. I built it to be sturdy since users will apply some pressure when handling it. I suggest attaching it to both sides of the frame for added stability, but attaching it to just the top side is also acceptable. To attach this case, you'll need 2-4 M5 screws. However, you'll need to disassemble the SD/µSD reader first in order for it to fit snugly into place. Simply unclip the reader's casing (check out the picture for guidance) and secure it with some glue – I used hot glue and it worked beautifully. I'm using a wonderful knob designed by JPgxuAHFR22RQo, which can be found on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1734712. This project is still in progress, so please share your thoughts and comments!
