These modded parts allow you to add as many more Units/Characters to your Split-Flap display as you want – as well as align the units better using an alignment “notch” for each character.
Extending the Display
- Center2 and Center3 contain replacemens for the center parts of the case to extend it by 1 or 2 characters.
- Extend1, Extend2, Extend3 and Extend4 contain additional parts that can be added between the respective center and right parts of the case to extend it by 1, 2, 3 or 4 characters.
Improved Alignment
I noticed that the UnitFrame parts can bend a bit when the nuts are inserted. This is not a big issue and doesn't affect functionality, usually. However, it means the letters aren't perfectly centered in their respective windows. I added alignment notches to remedy this issue. To use them, use the FrontCoverWithNotch and UnitFrameWithNotch parts. I provide the Center and Extend parts without an alignment notch as well, so you can use them with the original UnitFrame part if you prefer to.
Improved PCB
I also made a improved drop-in replacement for the PCB, which you can find here: https://github.com/codingcatgirl/split-flap-fae-pcb
Other mods i recommend
If you haven't stumbled over them already, i recommend you also look at these two mods:
- https://www.printables.com/de/model/684223-split-flap-drum-magnet-increased-tolerance – I found this one necessary to be able to mount the magnets when printing the drums on my Prusa MK4.
- https://www.printables.com/de/model/689270-split-flap-display-usb-type-c-power – If you want your display to be USB-PD powered.
