Lulzbot Taz LCD + Raspberry Pi Case

LulzBot TAZ LCD w/ Pi Enclosure\nThis Custom LCD mount fits perfectly on the Lulzbot Taz and provides a secure mounting location for a Raspberry Pi, allowing you to run Octoprint (webpage based print server) without cluttering your desk.\nThe goals of this custom design were clearly defined:\n1. Allow a Raspberry Pi to be mounted with the LCD while freeing up valuable space on my desk.\n2. Utilize the same mounting hardware as the original LCD enclosure for a seamless transition.\n3. Ensure easy access to wires inside the case for hassle-free installation and maintenance.\n4. Keep the overall volume of the device reasonable and compact.\nImportant note: You will most likely need a left-angle micro USB cable to power your Raspberry Pi due to space limitations. These can be easily found at popular online retailers like Newegg, Amazon (or any other massive store equivalent). Additionally, you'll need 4x M2.5 6mm bolts from a local hardware store for secure mounting of the Raspberry Pi.\nThe OpenSCAD source file is also provided, making it simple to modify and remix the design as per your creativity. Have fun exploring different customization ideas and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need help.\nUpgrades and Future Enhancements\nHere are a list of features I plan to add in the near future:\n1. A dedicated slot for the SD card, offering additional flexibility for those using it without Octoprint.\n2. A back-mounted option for a Raspberry Pi Camera, which can be angled to provide optimal viewing of the bed during printing processes.\nPrinter Settings\nBrand: LulzBot\nModel: TAZ 5\nRafts: Optional (no impact on overall quality)\nSupports: No additional support needed\nResolution: High at 25mm\nInfill Percentage: Optimized for efficiency with a setting of 30%\nPrinted Notes: This custom design was successfully printed using a LulzBot Taz and high-quality PLA filament.\nCustomization Section\nHelpful Reminders:\n1. When removing the original LCD from its standard enclosure, be extremely cautious not to misplace any black plastic spacers between the LCD and bottom PCB.\n2. Your Raspberry Pi is securely installed using 4x M2.5 6mm bolts, available at local hardware stores.\n3. Do not move or swap out the frame support during installation; keep it in place for safe printer alignment.
