MK4 Front Bin & Interface Plate for HyperPixel

Why did I create this?

After looking at the Hyperpixel mod (by MekCreate), the squash ball feet mod (by tterbocharged) and the lockable MK4 side drawers (by Daniel Vitanza) I found that the size of the hyperpixel casing would prevent the drawers from opening, but I really wanted these mods!

Noting the additional space under the printer afforded by the squash ball feet I saw I could drop the hyperpixel & official screen out of the way by designing an interface plate.

After doing so I had spare space on the front of the printer and wanted to cover the ugly cables coming out of the Pi, so I designed  a slim front-end bin for collecting filament waste. The bin is designed for quick removal as its quite small so I need to empty it regularly.

I used the Mk4 Faceplate spacers as I didn't have a neat 90 degree USB-C connector for the Pi which meant my cable needed more clearance in order to fit, however you should be able to get away without these spacers if you have a suitable cable.

Similarly I didn't use the squash ball foot spacer as my printer is situated such that the screens can be lower than the base of the printer itself.

Other Requirements

You'll need some suitably sized M3 screws and nuts, length dependent on whether you use the spacers or not. Note that the squash ball feet work just fine with an M3 screw, a washer and these T-nuts (by Extrutim) - no need to purchase any additional metal fixtures as used by the original author.

Print Instructions

All models can be printed in their default orientation, except for the front bin, place this on its bottom and use painted supports for the base of the overhanging clips.

I printed in PLA Prusament Galaxy Black with Prusa's official preset though I have a little bit of unwanted flex in the interface plate, therefore I suggest using PETG or another filament with higher rigidity for that. Otherwise they are simple enough to print in just about any material you like.
