I wanted a simple mount to hold the LCD display that came with all 3 of my RAMPS 1.4 kits for all 3 of my Anet A8 printers. I couldn't really find anything that wasn't like an entire electronics enclosure, so I made this. It's really simple, I just measured the distances on the mounting holes for the original display and made a clamp to hold the newer display. It sits in a small groove on the bottom and is held by 3 m3 screws along the top edge.

The reason I went with a “clamp” style is because the holes are REALLY close to the edge and I didn't trust them to support the weight of the unit, especially when operating the knob. This also keeps the SD card slot accessible. 

I printed mine using tree supports and they separated easily.
