TFT35 E3 case stand (Yet Another Ender3 Display Case)
Description
While installing a rear electronics bay on my Ender3 Pro, I had the display hanging in the breeze. Afer a while, I grew to like it, so started looking for a case. Most were too big, busy, and overdone, also mounting electronics in it. I found one nice case, but it had a logo on it that I didn't care for. It also lacked a hole for the reset button on the TFT35. After a go at meshmixer, I got tired of the results so just decided to make my own. This case holds just the display. My display is a tft35. The openings on the side for the USB and SD card are approximate. I didn't bother fine tuning them as I don't really use them. The attached files are my approximation based on a print. Good luck. Similarly, the reset button and the encoder shaft opening are a little off center and oversized. But at least I don't hit the reset if I press the face of the panel. This should fit a stock display, but I didn't feel like digging mine out to double check. All of the designs for the stock display fit my TFT35 just fine (except for the pressure on the reset switch). Assembly is with m3 hardware. 5-6 mm is what I assembled with. I think 8mm might be doable, but I didn't check. Files are as they came out of Fusion360. You'll want to print with the faceplate down on the bed (the photo of mine is because my stock build surface stuck too well). For the case, print it with the cable opening down on the bed, and you'll wind up needing minimal supports. There is a slight gap (.5 mm in cad) between the faceplate and the case. Depending on the shrinkage of your material, this may be too much or too little.It was just about right when I used PETG. And yes, this is fairly large for just an LCD case. I wanted it to stand at an angle that was good for me to view from my desk, and the plugs coming out of the back of the board stand off quite a bit. Files for both step and fusion360 are uploaded. I don't plan on doing a lot of mods to this, so please suggest something, but don't count on it. Between the two parts, it's about a 17 hour print on PETG (probably way faster with PLA) and I'm ok for now. There is a nice spot on the faceplate if you want to emboss your own logo.
