MPCNC LCD/Electronics Box by JYount

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a remix of the original LCD control box for Ramps 1.4 made by B-Cup. I wanted to modify this to fit the RepRap Discount LCD that I already had. Also changed the back panel to fit JST-SM connectors instead, since I also had those on hand. Found a great model by Turpinator and used his JST-SM panel as a template. This box is much wider to fit the longer LCD. The front panel does have a bit of room and I plan on adding some switches in later on. I also included the original backplate with RJ45 keystones just in case somebody wants that. It has just been modified to fit the larger enclosure.
Also used http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35438 for the faceplate. The thing editor wouldn't allow me to find it in the search results.
NOTE: This is still heavily a work in progress. I have not yet printed or tested the fitment.

Had an issue with the mounting screw locations and fixed that. Also added a variation with mounting holes for rocker switches for things like LED lighting, fans, etc. The switches I plan to use I bought from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252123068521
There is a faceplate without the switch holes, but I will probably end up making some sort of insert in case I end up not using one of the switches.
