NeoDue Part 2 - 5" PanelDue Display for GRR Neo

thingiverse

Part 1 of the NeoDue upgrade is now complete, but there's more to come! Introducing Part 2: a sleek 5" display case that fits perfectly onto your Neo printer, and can even be printed on it despite its print size limitations. To get started, you'll need: * One of each part * 7x 3 mm x 14 mm plastic screws (four for the display, three for assembling the base pieces together) * 1x 3 mm x 6 mm plastic screw for the adapter board of the display * 4x 3 mm x 8 mm plastic screws for mounting the display onto the base * 2x M4 x 20...30 mm screws for mounting the complete display onto the Neo (you can use some leftover Ikea parts with a large head) Preferrably, you might want to cut the thread for these screws on the Neo metal base, otherwise you'll need two M4 nuts to secure the screws. Additionally, you'll need a drill for creating holes in the printer itself. Before assembly begins: * Try assembling the parts and slightly sand the connecting geometries if needed. * Surface finish all parts as desired. * Remove the adapter board from the touchscreen. Now it's time to assemble! * Assemble the display frame and display by using the two connector rods and the four 14mm screws. Be sure to place the connector rods correctly. * Place the base parts onto the Neo printer and check if they fit perfectly. The connection surfaces are partially cut out, so you can easily sand them down one mm if needed to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances of the frame. Both pieces should fit snugly over their whole contact surface (visible from the sides). * Assemble both base parts by screwing them together with the remaining 14mm screws. Carefully align them in this process. * Check the correct seating on the Neo frame once more, slide the base to the left until it touches the left wall of the Neo case. * With the base seated, mark the holes for the M4 screws and the holes for the wire. The hole for the wire facing the display should be rather on the right side of the cable channel to enable the sliding movement needed for seating. * Drill the holes, cut the M4 thread, and very carefully remove any burrs and sharp edges from the cable holes. * Assemble the base part and display and secure with the four 8mm screws * Guide the cable through the holes in the Neo base, slide the display into place, and secure with M4 screws. * Plug the cable into your Duet electronics and enjoy your upgraded 3D printer with WiFi and display!
