Mark, I knew someone here on this group designed this case. I could not remember who.? THANK YOU.

?

I had the box printed up and had one issue with the display not sitting in the front properly. The cut out where the left side of? the display slides into, that cutout is not deep enough for the display. The channeling for the display cutout is incorrect (too high) at the top. The bottom seems? to be ok, but not deep enough.

I had to take a router bit and open? this channel up to get the display to fit.

One other question. The supplied? ribbon cable for this display, is that long enough to connect to the PI4? The ribbon cable supplied with my display seems too short.

One thing I was very impressed with is the #4-40 pre tapped screw holes for the display holding brackets and front panel mounting screw holes.? That is so cool.

I am waiting for the tilt stand rear bracket to arrive (after thought) ?then I can do final assembly. Hopefully every thing goes together with out any ?issues. Except tight fit¡­..

As for the ribbon cable of the encoder board, I rewired my encoder board and got rid of? the IDC connector.

Again, Thanks for the design and making it available.

Me, but of course I designed it. ;-)

the only issue that I know of is that there is a slot cut out for the potential meter board for the ribbon cable. The problem is if you use that slot, you will install your potential meter upside down with the tuning knob on top.?


the other issue is that the build volume for that case is very large and will not be printable with the popular ender 3 printers. ?
