Description
I was searching for an adjustable mount for the MK4 xLCD which I can mount on top or front of my own printer enclosure. After not finding a working solution I ended up by creation one.
The Hinge is inspired by the mechanism used by @3D_CNC in his design for the MK3 LCD swivel mount https://www.printables.com/model/441162-mk3-lcd-mount-swivel-low-profile
For attaching the mounts to the xLCD, a backcover is needed, for the common Prusa based Covers, the mount by PEVEES can be used: https://www.printables.com/model/792929-back-cover-for-prusa-xlcd-now-with-new-look
If you use, like me, the Tochscreen optimized Cover by David https://www.printables.com/model/757740-mk4-xlcd-cover-knob-touchscreen-optimized
you can use my remix of PEEVES backcover here: https://www.printables.com/model/925678-mk4-xlcd-backcover-remix-for-touchscreen-optimized
The mount has two different base options, a single large base plate, which can be even used as temporaly stand or two individual base arms.
The Mount can be attached with hinge at the bottom or with hinge on top, so you are able to use the xLCD as Desk mount, wall mount, shelf mount, ceiling mont or enclosesure mount…
To attach the mount to the back cover, do not use longer screws than 8mm!! I use M3x6mm, which works fine.
To mount the hinge, you need to use M3 Heat set Inserts or you can use longer self tapping screws together with the single Base.
