SBase TFT32 screen housing with 2020 mount by HugoW

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I bought the MKS SBase V1.3 board with the TFT32 screen. I designed a housing for the screen and a mount to fit it to 2020 extrusions, or in my case 2040. It leaves access to the USB port of the screen and the DS card reader, none of which I use. It's not a thing of beauty, but it is usefull. In the pictures you can see the surfaces aren't all closed properly as I use very little infill.
To mount it to the 2020 I used two M4x16 bolts and two hammer nuts. The part locks the hammer nuts in place, I find that easy.
To fit the screens, I used a lot of left over weird screws, you are supposed to use four M3x6 bolts with a small washer under the bolt head.
To close the assembly I used two M4x10 bolts with countersunk heads, you should use four. I will do so when the stored open again, and also buy some M3x6...
I might add some better pics later, it's dark now. But I think you get the idea.
The little beeper on the back of the board did not get it's own hole for the sound to exit. I think it is way too loud anyway, the housing mutes it a bit which I like. I've added the FreeCAD files, feel free to make a nice change to this or any other part if you like.
[EDIT Dec 26th, 2017] I've printed a new housing at 20% infill. Takes a little longer but the result is better. The holes holding the bolts are more strong.[/EDIT]
