Folgertech FT-6 solid keyboard mount

thingiverse

This project is complete, and it's working perfectly on my own printer without needing any further adjustments. I designed a bracket specifically to install a permanently attached keyboard onto my FT-6, keeping it in a position where the EZ bed leveling system won't interfere with it at the Z-axis bottom. If you have one of the 7" LCD kits, this is extremely helpful because it makes changing temperature values much easier than trying to fiddle with the tiny buttons on the display to get the numbers correct. Replace the three 10mm M5 bolts with 15mm M5 bolts where you can see them installed in my pictures to solid-mount the base. The side pieces bolt on using M3x0.5 10mm machine screws. This bracket fits the iKKEGOL slim 78 key USB keyboard offered on eBay and Amazon. I added foam under the keyboard for a snug fit. This keyboard is okay, but I recommend redoing the solder joints at the USB cord connection on the main board because they're subpar. Mine was DOA, but this fixed it, and I've seen plenty of reviews where it failed after weeks or months.
