OctoPi 5" Touch Screen Enclosure

thingiverse

Enclosure for a 5" OctoPi Touch Screen I attach this case to my Lulzbot Taz 6 and Ultimaker 2+ for touchscreen control via Octoprint. The design allows the enclosure to sit on a flat surface or use the included mounting bracket to attach to a vertical surface. This case is designed to be printed in two colors, accenting the front markings and complementing the Ultimaker aesthetic.

It is easy to assemble as it connects with only one ribbon cable and the Pi mounts directly to the back. The screen runs without any extra drivers and is powered by the DSI connection. I bought mine on Amazon, but it can also be found on eBay: [Amazon: 5 Inch Capacitive Touch Screen W DSI Connector](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KKB5YS9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) [eBay: 5 Inch TFT Capacitive Touch Screen 800x480 DSI Connector](https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Inch-TFT-Capacitive-Touch-Screen-800x480-DSI-Connector-for-Raspberry-Pi-2-3-3B/312318563583?hash=item48b7a314ff:g:5s8AAOSwmUBb65Aq:rk:5:pf:0) Note: The screen includes directions on how to configure the display orientation, but does not detail how to orientate the touch controller too. If rotating the screen display use both of these lines in the Pi config file: display_rotate=2 lcd_rotate=2 I wanted all cables to exit out one side only, so I added a 90-degree mini USB adapter to route the power cable the same direction as the USB cables.

This solution includes a slightly thicker cable, fewer connections, and better PSU.
