Ender 5 Reprap LCD 12864 base mod

thingiverse

Aloha folks, So I couldn't find a holder for the ReprapDiscount Full graphics smart controller aka LCD 12864, so I grabbed the base from mightynozzle and started modifying it to suit my needs and fit in the same spot as the original Ender 5 controller. This way, I wouldn't have to get extended cables for my MKS Gen L v1.0 board. Now you can modify the base like me. You'll need the rest of the parts from mightynozzle mod, such as the Cover, reset button, and all the screws required for assembly as normal. These can be found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2813298 . When I tried to place the Bracket on, I noticed two small diodes very close to the bottom left screw hole near the display, so I redesigned the bracket to avoid breaking off those diodes and slide in easily. Print this with support as it stands - yes, it comes rather high unfortunately, but Slic3r makes good supports that are easy to come off. I personally need to work on making the undersides of overhangs look nicer in Slic3r PE, and some clean-up is required: drilling out the hole, as support material may block the inside. The Ender Dragon Graphic comes from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806566 . At the time of this picture, it wasn't hooked up yet - I'm waiting for my MKS Gen L to be delivered.
