Ender 5 Plus TFT35 Adapter Plate and Cover BIGTREETECH v2 by jerryfudd

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Update:
7th April 2021
Added a v2 for all the cover plate components, just changed the size of the central positioning block
Re-uploaded file TFT35AdapterforCoverPlate-NoGuide as I'd previously uploaded the GCODE and not the STL
Added Fusion360 file for alignment adjustment if required
Purpose:
I wanted to fit the TFT35 but have it sit centrally in the void left by removing the Creality LCD (OCD moment!)
Warning:
THIS WILL REQUIRE DRILLING BUT IN MY OPINION RESULTS ARE BETTER
This worked for me BUT these are YOUR actions - don't proceed if you are unsure!
Dial is a 7mm drill
Speaker is a 2mm drill
Reset button is a 3.5mm drill - IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DRILL THIS (AS I HAVE) IT WILL NEED TO BE CUT DOWN
Notes:
All the adapter plates are the same size, they just have different purposes
By 'components' I'm talking about the speaker, dial rod and reset switch
Reuse 4x M3x8mm from removing the Creality LCD for adapter plate fitment
Use additional 4x M3x8mm for securing board
OR Use additional 2x M3x8mm AND 2x M3x12mm for board and cover
Instructions:

STEP 1: Print a 'Test Guide' STL and PLACE OVER the TFT35 v3.0 to check component alignment


STEP 2: If satisfied cut off the component test circles and prongs then fit into machine to check case alignment


STEP 3: If satisfied print out a 'Drilling Guide'


STEP 4: Fit 'Drilling Guide' to machine and drill through desired circles (i.e. I only used the dial for mine - personal choice)


STEP 5: Either cut the component circles and prongs from the 'Drilling Guide' -OR- print a 'NoGuide'


STEP 6: Fit into to Case then fit TFT35 v3.0 to adapter plate

STEP 7: If using the 'Cover Plate' use 2x longer board bolts which pass through the adapter plate to secure the cover down
