Take the Neptune 2S LCD out from under the build plate! Sits on a table like a Neptune3 or looks hot on it's side arm.

Hate having the LCD under the table, want more flexibility or just think a monitor arm looks cool? This project is pretty labor intensive but the final product is pretty slick I think. This is for people who already have a printer and want to upgrade, if you are thinking Neptune 2S vs Neptune3 its probably worth to just get a Neptune3. You could apply this concept to any printer really but need some different prints.
Going crazy on the cable length might be a bad idea, not sure at what point it might start to pick up wireless signals.
I used 4mm wire braid but that was a huge pain. 4mm is too small 6mm at least is better, braid itself is a pain but looks cool.
The video shows most of the build it should help if you want to try this project.
I wired everything to a SMD FPC connector, if you can find a 32pin 1mm breakout board it would make everything so much better.
Printer_Plate is for the cutout on the front of the printer. Use self threading screws, mine were leftover from PC fans.
To make a braided cable you need to print:
These parts snap together but better to glue before using
Connector_Base x2
Connector_Side x2
Connector_Top x2
For the LCD case you need:
LCD_base (a little support for the closing tab and connector hole)
LCD_Feet (you might be able to do without support but I used it for the main bridge)
LCD_Frame (support just for the closing tab)
For the mount Arm:
12mm and 15mm screws were used.
Mount_Base (you can manage without support)
Mount_Rotation (really needs support!)
Mount_Tension (12.5 or 13mm depends on how tight you want. I use 13mm)
Mount_Arm (you don't really need support unless you have a nut issue)
Cura Settings:
0.2mm Layer Height
0.38mm Line Width
2 Walls
3 top 3 bottom layers (2 didn't look good but technically it's possible)
10% Infill
Support Overhang Angle can be raised 50 or higher, only a small amount of support is needed.
I printed in PLA+, it can survive but you hear a small crack or two during mount arm assembly.
