Description

PDF

I created these models to add a BTT PITFT50 screen to the bottom of my RatRig VCore 4.

The screen mounts (slider_mount_l and slider_mount_r) attach to the bottom of the front extrusion using M6x20mm screws and T-Nuts.  

4 x M3x4mm SHCS are used in the side of the screen enclosure (siding_BTT_PITFT50_v2.1_mount) to engage with the mounts and allow it to slide.

Route a long ribbon cable under the bottom of the printer, using ribbon_cable_support if desired (use 2 x M6x12mm bolts and T-Nuts) and into the electronics enclosure.

All of the files should be oriented correctly for printing.

I've included only the .step files since that's what I prefer and incase anyone wants to make changes.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The original enclosure is a remix of https://www.printables.com/model/793120-btt-pitft50-v21-mount.  I removed the rear mounting lugs, added M3 holes in the sides to integrate with the mounts, added a lip in the front to aid in sliding it in/out, and added and additional ribbon cable exit in the back.

The pieces that mount the screen to the printer, and the supports for the ribbon cable traveling under the printer are original creations.
