Anycubic Mega X BTT PITFT50 mount

prusaprinters

<p>This mount allows the replacement of the built in Anycubic Mega X screen with a Bigtree Tech 5" PiTFT. It requires no modifications to either the display or the Mega X, all you need are the 4 mounting screws from the original display, 6 M2.5-0.45X10 screws and 4 M2.5 hex nuts.</p> <p>It's designed to be used with my Mega X silent running upgrade board mount, which lets you add a Raspberry Pi to the inside of the Mega X. The display is designed to be connected to a Raspberry Pi and works with KlipperScreen or OctoScreen. This way you can control either Klipper or OctoPrint directly from the printer instead of always relying on a browser.</p> <p>Installing this is pretty simple, start with the bottom piece and mount it where the original display used to be. Mount the display to the top piece and then add the top piece to the bottom piece using 4 M2.5 screws and the hex nuts. This part can be a little finnicky because there's not a whole lot of clearance. The easiest way is to hold the nuts down with one hand reaching through the printer and then screw them in with your other hand. Hard to explain, but it'll make sense once you look at it!</p> <p>The shroud is just a cover for the screen and isn't attach to the top/bottom pieces. It just takes the sharp edges away and keeps the PCB out of reach of grabby hands. You can just add it after installing everything else. That's it, just install OctoScreen or KlipperScreen next and you can touchscreen your way to victory.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anycubic</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>All-metal Mega</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Whatever you have PLA Black</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Probably best to print this in black to match the rest of the printer.
