MK4/MK4S xLCD Right Side Mount Kit

My printer enclosure is such that I access the printer from the right side, so I have moved the xLCD to the right.  This kit includes mounting clips for the xLCD brackets, flat cable clips to help route the ribbon cable along the printer's cross member, and a variety of modified xLCD brackets for relocating the USB port via a small extension cable.  The Left bracket has been modified for the USB socket, and is compatible with both type A and B xLCDs.    

These brackets also work with the MK4S xLCD cover, as long as the rear cover is not used and these brackets are used instead, similar to the original MK4 xLCD cover brackets.

There are USB Brackets that have a flush port, which cause the key to stick out, and versions that have the port recessed quite deep so most of the USB Key is hidden inside the mount.   I am using the recessed one with an opening just large enough for the Prusa USB Key that came with the printer (support-L-USB Prusa (5x15.6 - recessed)).   There is also a version with a 10.5x22mm opening that is large enough for the random assortment of other keys that I have.

In addition to different depths and opening sizes, there are models to precisely fit a ridged USB B connector and ones that rely on pressure fit of a toothed cover as a clamp.    

The USB cable I am using is a “Down” angle version of  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LGC2Y7Q

Socket Dimensions (mm) with ridge:

Without ridge is the same except without the 1.2x2.2mm ridge.   STEP files are included so they can be modified for other sizes if needed.

Printed Parts

To relocate the display as I have, you will need to print:

2x mountingClip
1x USB Relocation Support of your choice
1x cover to match the support chosen
2x FlatCableClipL
1x FlatCableClipR

Installation

The mountingClips are based off the Prusa cable clips and clip securely into the 30x30 side rails.   You should first attach them to the mounting brackets with the m3x10 screws originally intended to mount to the front of the printer.

Next, with the left bracket removed from the xLCD, install your USB extension cable and secure with a ridged or toothed cover. Depending on the style you chose, you will need 1 or 2 m3x10 screws and m3 square nuts for the cover.   Reinstall the bracket.

Once everything is secured to the xLCD, insert the clip into the top slot of the right hand rail, then pushing down on the display clip the bottoms into the slot on the outer side of the rail.

To help route the flat cables, I have included modified flat clips that can be attached with zip ties along the middle rail.  I installed mine with the same ties that hold the power cables on the back side.  There are two versions of the flat clip, so it can be offset left or right of the holes depending on location and fit.
