Ender-5 station (LCD + Raspberry Pi)

thingiverse

The Ender-5 station boasts two key advantages: a mount for Raspberry Pi 4 and an LCD cover. To connect these components, I employed a buck converter along with one micro USB to USB-C adapter. This setup is remarkably simple and doesn't require any soldering, making it accessible to everyone. A reliable source for this product can be found at Amazon via the following link: https://www.amazon.com/-/pt/gp/product/B00R5JL8WI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I invested a significant amount of time perfecting the STL design for the Ender-5 station's LCD mount. After printing six prototypes, I finally achieved a flawless model. One notable feature of this station is the raspberry Pi mount, which provides easy access to micro SD cards without requiring the entire system to be shut down. For cooling purposes, I opted to use a fan with my Raspberry Pi 4. However, given the generous ventilation grids on this station, it's not strictly necessary to employ a fan when using Octopi software.
