General:
I wanted a way to mount my LCD on the side of of my Z axis (or near there) in order to free up the right side of the Y extrusion for a better angle for my Octoprint webcam. When I didn't find any good options I decided to design something quick and dirty to get the job done.
The LCD mount piece is just an edited version of the official Prusa one chopped down a bit to reduce its overall size to just the required socket portion, then I added a sliding dovetail to the back which then slides into the generic female dovetail piece. In my install I super glued the female piece to the side of the thick version of this z brace that I have installed.
Remix Ideas:
I made the female mount piece specific to my needs but you could easily adapt this design to have that portion mount into the extrusion with some T-nuts or make one that mounts to the popular mini handle etc.
Print Instructions (same as in 3mf file):
- 0.20 quality setting
- Supports on enforced areas only
- This is required since the dovetail bottom is offset slightly so that everything is flush when mounted in the female dovetail piece.
- 15% infill
Hardware Needed:
- M3 hex nut
- M3 x 12 screw
- You might have to use a longer one depending on how deep your LCD screw hole is. They seem to vary depending on when you got your printer. Alternatively you can use a longer screw and trim it short enough to your setup so that it clears the back of the dovetail piece.
