Viki LCD Tripod mount (US) and MakerGear M2 Side Bracket

thingiverse

The Viki LCD housing features three tripod mounting positions - left, middle, and right - and requires stainless steel hex nuts with 1/4"-20 Threads for installation. Compatible with US standard tripod heads, a motorcycle handlebar tripod mount was used in conjunction with a custom side bracket designed for the MakerGear M2 printer. Custom handlebars must be made for other printers. For MakerGear M2 setup, refer to the provided image for wire positioning and use the Mounting Base to secure wires. Additional foam mounting tape may be necessary to further secure the handlebar area due to side bracket design limitations. Despite newer M2 models not having a middle metal rod, foam tape will still hold the handlebar in place securely. The LCD housing and Wire Plug were printed using a 0.35 nozzle with hexagon pattern spacing of 2.5 mm. The Side Bracket is specifically designed for MakerGear M2 printers, and uses a rectilinear support pattern with a 2.5 mm spacing. Assembly involves inserting the hex nuts into the wells, adding the Wire Plug to the LCD housing from the inside without gluing, passing the LCD's two sets of wires through the Wire Plug, connecting the wires to the LCD connectors, wrapping the wires with electrical tape for a snug fit, and finally securing the LCD to the housing using screws on all four corners.
