KlipperScreen Housing

 

Update 2023/01 : Added new Version that works without the 90 degree adapter

 

This is my solution to upgrade one of my printers (that is currently mostly like a Caribou Cartesian (https://caribou3d.com/de/3-caribou-3d-drucker)) to use Klipper and KlipperScreen.

To run Klipper (https://www.klipper3d.org), i used an Raspberry Pi, that's screwd to a 5 inch Touchscreen. The USB ports of the Pi are still accessible and are used to connect the Pi to the printer mainboard and to a USB webcam.

Everything is quite easy to install. I used a Rasbian Lite image and Kiauh (https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh) to install all components.

BOM

I used the following things for my build

  • Housing (see STL files)
  • Bracket (see STL files)
  • 5" Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B093K2HDZF)
    • Screws for mounting the Pi on back of the screen have been included in the package i bought from Amazon
  • Raspberry Pi 3B (i had lying around from another project)
  • 4 Spax 3x12 Torx (T10) screws to secure the screen with the bracket
  • 90 degree Micro USB adapter (also from another project)
    • It's something like this (https://www.amazon.de/gp/procuct/B015PTT290), but i'm not sure if this one fits, but it looks like it should. See the pictures for my Adapter.

Assembly

  • screw the Pi on back of the Screen
  • connect the Pi with the cable to the screen
  • put the 90 degree Micro USB adapter in the Pi
  • place the screen with the Pi in the KlipperScreen Housing
  • place the bracket in the KlipperScreen Housing and secure it with the screws
