LCD Case Upgrade - Broken Button edition

prusaprinters

<p>Right in the middle of a print, the control panel knob decided it no longer “clicks”.  You can press it, but it doesn't do anything.  The call support way to fix this is order a new LCD module for $56 ++, wait for the shipment and then re-run everything.   I had some spare momentary contact switches lying around - so I remixed a front cover panel to hold a replacement switch.</p><p>You can get the switch I used on Amazon - I did not hook up the lighted switch option (you can if you like, but there is only 5V on the LCD board, and low current to boot).  The hook up is really easy - solder the two sides of the switch to the pads on the existing LCD board as shown.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/APIELE-Momentary-Button-Stainless-Normally/dp/B088PNQDPZ?pd_rd_w=Mg51Y&amp;pf_rd_p=5bc65336-a8b0-4888-9e70-4d4ce2f6bd59&amp;pf_rd_r=09PX5R8669KZVF2ZFDCD&amp;pd_rd_r=de63f41f-eccb-4379-a7bf-62462114d622&amp;pd_rd_wg=9VwjH&amp;pd_rd_i=B088PNQDPZ&amp;psc=1&amp;ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_1_t">https://www.amazon.com/APIELE-Momentary-Button-Stainless-Normally/dp/B088PNQDPZ?pd_rd_w=Mg51Y&amp;pf_rd_p=5bc65336-a8b0-4888-9e70-4d4ce2f6bd59&amp;pf_rd_r=09PX5R8669KZVF2ZFDCD&amp;pd_rd_r=de63f41f-eccb-4379-a7bf-62462114d622&amp;pd_rd_wg=9VwjH&amp;pd_rd_i=B088PNQDPZ&amp;psc=1&amp;ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_1_t</a></p><p>With this fix, your spend (other than plastic and time) is all done for less than $10.</p><p>3 Color sliced .3mf project file included so you can get the colored text as shown.</p>
