Description
Hi,
for my Neptune 4 I printed EntasDisk Elegoo neptune 4 / pro z-axis stabilizer v2.
Because I had no place to mount the display I designed a rotatable display holder in Fusion360.
Printed in PLA+ with:
0,3 mm layer height
25% Infill Cubic
with supports (for hex nut holes)
orientation as in 3mf file
Assembly - what you need:
7x hex nut M4
3x washer M4
3x screw M4x20
3x screw M4x12
1x screw M4x25
1x screw handle - I used this: Handles for M3 to M6 bolts and screws
Maybe you need some tape to wrap around the M10 thread before clamping the holder to the thread in case its not tight enough.

Update 03.02.2024 - V1.10
The previous version worked well so far, but even with a fully tightened screw it was still easy to rotate the display. So I added indentations and protrusion in a circular pattern to lock it in place (see last two pictures). The outline was changed a bit, but the positions of all the holes is still unchanged.
Print as oriented in 3mf file. It might be necessary to place a support blocker under the spherical indentations (see second last picture) to keep them at the intended size. My first print went to the bin because my first layer and the settings were not optimal and therefore the supports fully closed off the indentations with out any chance to open them up again.
Printing them without supports worked fine for me. The indentation for the hex nuts still should be printed with supports on.
Only downside of the new version is that there are now only 2 locking positions which make sense in regard to the viewing angle. But I'm fine with that (for now).

Update 27.02.2024 - M8 Version - V1.10
Added an M8 version as requested by someone. The tolerances for the thread are a bit tighter than the M10 version, but maybe some tape is still necessary to give it a good grip.
Happy Printing!
