LCR-T4 Case (Minimalistic)(No supports) (With Text-Painting Support)

My attempt to make a minimalist T4 case that supports ease-of-use, readability, and needs relatively little filament.

Please see pictures to make sure you have the same ‘yellow’ board, particularly the wires on the LEFT side of the screen and not underneath it, there are 2 PCB revisions that are yellow!

Uses M3 to self-tap it's own threads, 4.0-7.5mm long(7.5 gives a very strong bond, shorter screws always have a higher risk of stripping out due to limited thread engagement). Head is sized to 6.5mm.

Do not enable supports, hole overhang designed to print without them!

Battery is swappable without needing to open case. Route wire in an arching loop so it can be pulled out some when needed! My battery fits perfectly and doesn't pop out by accident, use some tape on the side of the cell, if you need a tighter fit.

If you want to utilize multicolor for text, I've uploaded a version that also has the geometry for the cut-out front numbers filled-in with their geometry, but also still defined, this apparently works AMAZING for the slicer-based bucket painting that detects surfaces!

Check text at bottom layer after slicing, use Arachne engine for ‘Wall Generator’ if it's missing spots! Designed for 0.4 nozzles, so 0.6 especially needs Arachne!

Text on side of socket is simply cut into the layer-lines. Could be painted, but will cause a purge nearly every layer as well as grow the purge tower higher! So I think this is a good compromise.

You can also cut a thin piece of PET plastic from old packaging to insert over the LCD, just enough room inside the case.
