GCP(evo) LCD Front Mount

Update 24/5/8:  Updated all files based on user feedback.  Please redownload if you're having any issues with the files you downloaded previously.  It's helpful to assemble both covers onto the frame and cycle the LCD cover on/off a few times before assembling onto the machine.

Update 24/4/28:  Added file revisions for SLS printers.  Also suitable for FDM.  Added a bit more clearance for the snaps to make it easier to install/remove.

Update 24/4/14:  Added an alternate design that splits the frame into two parts.  The frame cover can be printed face down for a cleaner print and enable the use of textured buildplates.  Magnets as explained below are highly recommended for this alternate design.

It's important to cycle the printed parts before installing on the machine.  Take the frame cover and hook it onto the top of the frame as shown below and rotate in place.  It's important to squeeze the top “hinge” edge as you rotate the cover.  The tolerances are tight and exact for a tight fit at the top.  The cycling of these parts will break the layer edges and make it easier to install around the switches.

The frame cover will be trapped on the bottom by the LCD cover when that gets installed.  I made some install video's for reference here.  The original integrated frame is included in the file list as an option if that's desirable.  The LCD cover is the same for both designs.

Initial Release:  Designed an LCD mount to easily install and remove the display and enable an easy way to flash it.  The LCD cover can also be printed in a different color if desired.

The frame is intended to be sandwiched by the switch bodies so they need to come out and reinstall on top of the frame.  It also has built in magnet recesses for two, 3/4 x 3/8 x 1/6 magnets, to make the fame more secure and eliminate vibration.

Has features to  screw down the display if you so desire.  The LCD is well constrained once the cover is installed and screws are not necessary.  Purple arrows are hooks and holes at red arrows can accept M3x5 screws.

Display cable should be routed as shown above, two wires on each side of the connector.  The cable is routed through the center light opening as it's not used.  Carefully insert the connector going to the Gaggiuino board (V3) through the middle hole.

The geometry is modeled to be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height.
