BigTreetech TFT V2.0 Case - Frame mounted

thingiverse

About *** My recently built Hypercube uses the BGT TFT V2.0 and since I couldn't find a suitable case for it, I designed one from scratch. It employs brass inserts to conceal metal screws and connects to a 30x30 mm aluminum profile while also allowing for an adjustable view angle. You can mount it on vertical or horizontal profiles without changing any of the parts. If you want to connect it to 20x20 or 20x40 aluminum profiles, I've attached the Fusion 360 CAD archive of all parts to modify them as you see fit. Follow *** I also post pics and videos of my designs on my Instagram page. Updates *** 19/06/2020 - Added simple and double screw mounts for 20x20 and 30x30 aluminum profiles How to print it *** Print it with a standard 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 or 0.25 layer height. The front cover requires support material for the nudge made to access the reset button. The "arm" will need support for printing the hinges, just activate "Support - Everywhere" in your Slicer software. Rotary Encoder *** The V2.0 version doesn't have a built-in rotary encoder like V3 does, but it can be supported in software. Buy a rotary encoder similar to this board: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-3V-5V-Rotary-Encoder-Module-KY-040-With-Top-Clickable-Switch-Arduino-UK-Seller/274296632950?hash=item3fdd5a7676:g:zRAAAOSw131eYOOd Trim the excess PCB around the encoder to fit inside the enclosure and connect it to the "encoder port." You can solder wires directly to the TFT Encoder's port. The push button (aka pe SW pin of the encoder) is purely useless, as the firmware for this TFT only uses it to change modes (from Touch Mode to Marlin mode), which is not supported in V2.0 of this hardware. Without Rotary Encoder *** I strongly suggest trying to add an encoder to this TFT display, it's extremely useful for controlling axis movements, extrusion, baby-stepping and other features. But if you really don't want it, you have a STL version of the cover that comes without it. Assembly *** You need brass inserts to assemble this casing. It uses 5x5x5 mm brass inserts, as follows: * 4 brass inserts on TFT cover * 1 brass insert on TFT back-side * 2 brass inserts on the back-side mount * 2 brass inserts on the frame mount Regarding screws: * 4 x 12 mm M3 screws (for connecting the ARM) * 4 x 16 mm M3 screws (for connecting the back side of the TFT case with the cover) Enjoy
