Ender 3 Max V2 screen relocation
Description
A bit too specialised for most people. Only really useful to those who have added a version 2 vertical screen to their ender 3 max. I rarely use the screen as I use a pi zero 2w and octoprint for the majority of my interactions with the printer. I decided on a more compact layout and moved the screen in and under the print bed. There is plenty of clearance, and should the screen need lifting out while the printer is printing it is still very easy to do. I made a mistake with my original bracket (forgot to add a space for the screen connector (Doh!). After hacking a chunk out of mine and checking it for strength it was just fine so I replicated the cut out but in a less brutal manner with better clearances. The bracket itself will slide an inch or so out from the front of the printer. I made it so this was a possibility for those times when a small amount of movement is all that is needed for access. Alternatively you can just push the screen in as far as it will go and just remove the screen from the bracket when needed. Please note:- I made the bracket tight. It was deliberate. For those wanting a more snug fit it may fit immediately after printing. But with chinese tolerances for 3d printer stuff, it may be too tight for others. I figured too tight allows for a bit of sanding and/or filing for the perfect fit. But too slack would forever be too slack. When I printed my first test versions the print was supremely easy. But now I have had to do a redesign it has become a little less forgiving. To that end I have added 2 versions. One with inbuilt sacrificial support and one without support. Make your own choice which is better for you.
