This is a 2 part adaptor plate than can be screwed to the modular control panels, and then this adapter plate along with the modular control panel is screwed to the Prusa Box so that the control panel is centered on the front of the Prusa Box.  This allows all the bolts for the quick top removal of the Prusa Box to be visible and the modular control doesn't have to be removed first to take off the top of the Prusa Box.

Note: this plate only will work for the combination of the Prusa Display module, 5" Raspberry Pi Display module, and the Box Temp Module.

There are three screws for each adaptor plate to attach them to the modular control panels.  They are all countersunk so the adapter plate fits flat against the prusa box. The other holes that are not counter sunk require square nuts to be inserted and these are the points that attach to the Prusa Box.  Note that M3 8mm screws are required for the top two holes that attach to the Prusa Box.  Anything longer will be too long and I tested 6mm is too short.

The back plate for the Raspberry Pi 5" display module was modified to move the hole to the new position of the power input to the Raspberry Pi board.  A smaller hole was left in the original location to allow the temperature sensor to come out at the point.

Note: 2022-04-21 Added Step and STL files for a 2.8mm countersink for the holes that attach the brackets to the modular components.  Some bolts have thicker heads, so the deeper countersink might be required.
