Graphical display support for Mendel90 and others

thingiverse

This is a display holder to mount the graphical display of the RepRapDiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller onto a Mendel90 baseplate. The display will stay firmly in place even when you press the buttons or rotate it, thanks to the sturdy design of this holder. The graphical display itself is held securely within a housing that can be 3D printed from either one of these models: the original version at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:87250, or an improved design found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:617468. To attach this display holder to your Mendel90 baseplate, you'll first need to 3D print it. Once it's ready, mount the LCD PCB housing within it, making sure to use longer M3 screws that extend about 10cm out of the back of the housing. Start by attaching the supports to the baseplate; then carefully position and secure the LCD housing onto those supports. Be careful as you reach in from behind to screw on the M3 nuts – it can be a bit tricky.
