Artillery Genius/Sidewinder BIQU LCD Mount

prusaprinters

<p><strong>THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS</strong></p> <p>Case for the BIQU 12864 LCD screen and a mounting plate that fits in the stock TFT slot of the Artillery Genius and Sidewinder bodies.</p> <p>I printed this with Hatchbox Blue PLA because the color is similar to the Artillery blue, but I plan on reprinting in some sort of ABS for better heat resistance. PETG would work fine too, I don't really want the shininess of it.</p> <h3>Parts List</h3><ul> <li>3x M3 Nuts</li> <li>3x M3x10mm Bolts (these can be longer, they just stick into the printer body)</li> <li>4x M3x5mm Bolts (I used the ones originally holding the TFT into place)</li> <li>1x <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FH8KTZU/">BIQU 12864 LCD Display</a></li> <li>1x <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/52565-artillery-logo-rotary-knob">Artillery Logo Rotary Knob</a> (optional)</li> </ul> <h3>Build Instructions</h3><ol> <li>Print the parts.</li> <li>Use soldering iron (or a screwdriver and some force) to insert the nuts into the 3 hexagonal recesses in the <strong>Mounting Plate</strong>.</li> <li>Remove the old TFT from the printer, setting aside 4 M3 bolts.</li> <li>Using 4 M3 bolts from step 3 (or any 4 M3x5mm bolts), mount the <strong>Mounting Plate</strong> into the printer in place of the stock TFT. Make sure the LCD wires are connected and accessible before closing the printer.</li> <li>Screw the <strong>LCD Case Base</strong> into the <strong>Mounting Plate</strong> using 3 M3x10mm bolts.</li> <li>Hook up the LCD wires to the LCD.</li> <li>Place the LCD into the <strong>LCD Case Base</strong>.</li> <li>Close the case, the <strong>LCD Case Lid</strong> should be friction fit to the <strong>LCD Case Base</strong>.</li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I used a 0.3mm layer height, but a more final print will likely be 0.2mm or 0.16mm for smoother edges. I also used 10% infill which is probably fine with 3 walls, but you could do more in the <strong>Mounting Plate</strong> if you're concerned about rigidity.</p> <ul> <li><strong>The walls &amp; speaker grill are optimized for 0.5mm line width</strong>.</li> <li>Print everything with the largest flat side against the bed.</li> <li>Supports are needed for the <strong>LCD Case Base</strong> and <strong>Mounting Plate</strong> because of the hex nut recesses.</li> <li>Make sure the <strong>LCD Case Lid</strong> has at least 2-3 walls so the chamfer prints successfully.</li> <li>The full assembly is included just for reference, only print the 3 individual parts.</li> </ul>
