Minimalistic laser-cut LCD holder for Ultimaker Original (and clones)

thingiverse

I was looking for a laser cut holder that would work seamlessly with RRD-style LCD displays on my Ultimaker Clone. This straightforward design is the result of my efforts to keep things simple. The holder can easily accommodate either the '4x20 Text LCD' or the 'Full Graphics LCD'. To maintain simplicity, some drilling was required. I use M3 10-15mm long nylon screws to hold the pieces together securely. The holes were drilled with a 2mm drill bit, then enlarged with a 2.5mm drill bit, and finally threaded with an M3 thread cutter. It's easier to drill through plywood if it's 6mm thick. However, my laser cutter only cuts up to 3mm-thick plywood, so I simply glued two pieces together. I created the design in CorelDraw, but have also exported files in other formats for your convenience. If you need a different format to work with your laser cutter, please let me know and I'll be happy to provide it.
