Ender 3 PI Touchscreen Housing right side REMIX

thingiverse

I remixed Tronnic's Pi case to give it a fresh spin. Here's what I changed: 1. Flipped the design to fit on the other side, where the original Ender screen used to reside. 2. Widened the case so you can easily add a 40mm fan while keeping the Pi ports on the right side. 3. Ditched the SD holder and some excess material to make it sleeker. I replaced the stock Ender 3 screen with a Pi 3.5-inch screen from AliExpress, scoring it for just 9 euros. The result is impressive - it works flawlessly! I also leveraged Klipper and OctoPi to set up the display as my printer's main interface. Now, I can adjust the Z-offset directly from OctoPi using Klipper. The config file in Klipper allows me to customize settings from within OctoPi. If you're looking to replicate this setup, I recommend using Octoprint-TFT or Octoscreen - they're perfect for this application. However, steer clear of TouchUI. As a beginner, I tried my best to make it work. The only minor issue is a small leftover spot from the old screw hole, but it's hardly noticeable. To fix this, I sanded down the bottom and painted it a smooth black finish, while leaving the top intact. You can see the result in the pictures. Additionally, the extension piece doesn't fit perfectly flush with the Ender bracket, but it's not a big deal. Both issues are visible in the photos, but they're not major concerns.
