I tried various other mounts that use hooks to replace the original SV08 display, but the hooks kept snapping under slight pressure, even when I used 100% infill.
If that's an issue you've encountered and you have no immediate use for the original SV08 display, this mount might help. It attaches to the backplate from the original display which has somewhat sturdier hooks. They haven't broken so far, at least, so here's hoping!
Print Instructions:
- Use PLA/PETG/ABS or any other non-flexible plastic.
- Choose whatever infill you want (it's mostly solid regardless).
- Print with tree supports, adding them for the button cutout.
Installation Instructions:
- Unscrew the backplate from the original display and route the USB and HDMI cables through it. The right-angled connectors won't fit, so use the ends that connect to the printer. (If you're using BTT's Mini-HDMI-to-HDMI connector, you'll need to briefly remove it for this part.)
- Slot the mount onto the backplate. The pegs should fit in snugly.
- Screw the backplate to the mount. You have two options for this:
- Use fairly long M3s with nuts on the inside. If you take this route, don't put a screw in the top-right corner as the nut will get in the way of the USB connector. Three should suffice.
- Use thicker screws and tap threads as you go. If they end up flush with the inside wall or just shy of it, you can safely use all four corners.
- Connect the USB and HDMI cables to the display.
- Screw the mount to the display. Countersunk M3x12s will bite nicely, but if you're using flatheads then you may need to use M3x16s with spacers/washers under the heads.
- Tuck the cables away and hook the backplate to the printer.
I'm sure I could have done numerous things better, so feel free to tweak if you wish! :-)
