This is a set of mounting hinges, LCD container boxes, and associated bracketry for installing a 5 inch HDMI touchscreen for Raspberry Pi in the dead space in front of the Lulabot Taz 3 (or 4/5 with a bit of modificiation) control box. This will allow you to make your printer look cooler, and be more functional at the same time, which is a win! This uses several M3 heat set inserts, 2 M3 10mm bolts, 10 M3 6mm bolts, 4 M3 12 or 14mm bolts, a really long ribbon cable (26 pin, prefferably mail one end and female the other, though those seem to be very rare) and ribbon hdmi calbe for Raspbery Pi .

Instructions. Priunt out the things. Install 8 M3 heat set inserts in the front LCD bezil, 2 in the rear box cover, 2 in whichever LCD bracket hinge thing gets them installed in the ends, and 2 n the Taz 3 control box cover (or adapt this to fit on anyother control box - If there is interest I’ll make a 4/5 specific variant that will fit. )
Then bolt everything together, feed the wires through where they need to go, and you should be all set. I’m not listing a wire source at this time, because I am looking for better variants of both wires.

Cooler looking printer… I’m IN! 
Seriously, though… nice mod. I’ve meaninig to integrate my RPi into the printer and add the touch screen.
Thanks! Which control box are you running? I can adapt the 5 cover if you would use it. Also I should be able to thin the bezel if I can figure out a thinner ribbon cable setup.
I’ve got a 5… but I’m not sure when this project will make it to the top of the ToDo list. I haven’t figured out my enclosure situation, so in the end I may not be able to use the bracket. But its a great resource to start a mod… I appreciate the effort and sharing!
Alright, I can extend it back out to a 5 pretty easily. it basically just needs wider mounting flanges. I’ll see if I can’t get one made sometime in here.
