Anycubic Kossel Plus touch panel mount with USB port

For this project, you will require a 3.5 inch raspberry pi touch panel. I utilized this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNJVG8K/, but the adafruit one would work equally well. Additionally, you need a USB connector like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Leader-Panel-Mount-Type-Female/dp/B00UGLOFR2/. You can print this with any material you prefer. ABS will shrink just enough for this to be a friction fit. I used PETG, so a few spots of epoxy held the panel in place perfectly. The raspberry pi is not mounted inside the box but instead is located under the heated bed with another mount I designed. You can use either https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2879343 or https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2917902. You will need to connect the display to the pi using a GPIO extension cable, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Miuzei-Female-Ribbon-Compatible-Raspberry/dp/B071GTJF7N. Instead of using touchUI, I suggest setting up octoprint with octoprint-TFT: https://github.com/mcuadros/OctoPrint-TFT. It's much more responsive than touchUI and less resource-intensive. EDIT: v1.1 uploaded. I discovered a fitment issue right after uploading this where the ribbon cable connector obstructed mounting. v1.1 makes the box 7mm deeper, which should resolve the problem.
