A DM screen with a built in player facing LCD, for showing off artwork, initiative tracker, or whatever else you want to show your players. I have even used it to show the webcam feed of a player that had to join through Discord.
I've had my original version for a few years, and it has been useful enough that I wanted to make a new version.
This time it is (almost) completely 3D printed, except the screen.
The monitor frame is made to fit this particular USB-C screen: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006025535090.html
MUCAI 10.5 Inch 1280P Ultra Portable Monitor 16:10
EDIT:
Alternative monitor. Someone on Reddit contacted me and said they have had success with fitting this monitor without any modifications: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C7KPPXTZ
But one of the reasons I made the frame separate is so that it should be fairly easy to modify it to fit other screens.
I went with a complete screen this time, as separate screen and controller units wasn't actually noticeably cheaper, and a assembled screen is far simpler to design for. And it is also much less scary looking for someone new to electronics :p
Extras needed:
8x M5x50 screws for the hinges
4x M3x10 screws for the backplate
4x M3 heated inserts (or similar) for the backplate
I skipped inserts for the hinges, as they should work perfectly fine screwed directly in to the plastic, and shouldn't be removed too often, but easy access to the LCD might be smart, so I added them there.
There is built in clearance of about 0,1-0,2mm for most parts, where needed, but the hinges are pretty tight by design, as I didn't want noticeable gaps during use.
If you want a bigger distance between the pieces, I added a wider hinge. That might also be useful if you wanted to cover it in vinyl or something like that.
All pieces should fit on a Prusa Mk3/4 or larger.
I also added a frame with “fins” that hides the seams, if you think that would look better (and have a large enough printer).
The feet are for some extra stability, if you think you need it, but so far, it seems quite stable from my testing.
I have added both .step and .f3d files to make remixing as simple as possible.
Everything should print without supports, but some things require gluing.
The “connectors” will help align the two main parts, as well as give a bit of extra strength, but it'll need gluing. Probably something strong like a two part epoxy, or similar (I used E7000, since I was the closest when I decided … ).
The frame itself also needs to be glued to the rest. Might hold with superglue, but personally, I'd go with epoxy glue or similar here too.
