fivebot Display Mount
About the mod:
- Mounts to the front of the frame (or side, in case you use your printer rotated 90 deg with the dual z mod)
- No grounding issues like the stock mount, causing sporiadic button clicks
- Looks (subjectively) nicer
- Main restriction on placement is the display cable, will look into spec for a longer one
- Will be tweaked in the future to accomodate a panel if the printer is enclosed
Prep
Note: Please read general instructions before getting started
