LCD Keypad Box

thingiverse

This update features the new STL file named "KeypadBoxV2.stl," which boasts improved tolerances for reduced clean-up and a 6mm taller design to accommodate a bottom panel. The instructions have been updated to recommend replacing the straight header on the keypad with a right-angle one for a lower-profile box. Additionally, a Makerbot Giveaway entry has been mentioned. For those seeking a printable box to house Revar's LCD Display and Keypad mod, look no further! This design experiment uses varying $fn values in OpenSCAD to achieve a distinct edgy appearance while maintaining precision. The creator expresses enthusiasm for exploring this unique aesthetic in future projects. More information on Revar's LCD mod can be found here: [http://wiki.makerbot.com/revarlcd-assembly](http://wiki.makerbot.com/revarlcd-assembly). Further insights into OpenSCAD's $fn variable are available at [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features). To print the KeypadBoxV2.stl, follow the Slice instructions in Skeinforge. The KeypadBox04Up.stl is just a reference for the piece's orientation. Clean up the printed model by removing strings and holes with a knife and drill bits (but no drilling!). In assembly, replace the straight header on the keypad with a right-angle one after un-/soldering it from the PCB. Feed a cable end through the slot and attach it to the keypad. Mount the keypad in the opening using M2 bolts and nuts. The ToDo list includes providing links for necessary parts, uploading STL files for a 1mm bottom panel and an LCD box, and updating assembly instructions to cover connecting both the Keypad and LCD box.
