This is a flat faced LCD mounting system for RB1's, and RB3's. The system will adapt to Regular and Big versions of both printers. It is also designed to allow the original RB1 LCD to be adapted with the new buttons and cables and allow RB2 components to be completely transferred into the RB3 frame. The LCD will fit very snugly in between the front rails of the printer. The LCD PCB board must be tilted back and up to go behind the Y rod mount. It does fit.

The part files include the LCD mounting panel, the RB3 Logo panel, the center expansion panel for the Big version, and bracket braces. The parts are designed to be printed on an RB2 or RB1 10 x 10 bed.

One bracket brace is needed for the Regular size and two are used for the Big version. They are placed on the bottom rail where the connection seams are for the panels.

The panels are joined using M3 (8mm long) bolts that are common to the printer kit. Pre-threading the bolts into the small holes will greatly simplify the assembly process.

Join the panels before mounting the the LCD screen in the case. Be sure to place the buttons in place before attaching the LCD screen.

All the parts are Cura scaled and oriented for printing.

As these are precision fit parts it is highly recommended that you use calibrated filament using the system found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1037301

I use Blue painters tape put down on an aluminum bed washed with Windex. This makes the tape stick really well and produces very flat parts with no warping or tape pulling up. Start with the bed at 60C for PLA and at layer height 0.5mm turn it down to 45. This will keep the upper layers from warping the base. Run the first layer at about 15mm/sec to capture the fine outline detail of the logo letters. The rest of the print can be run at 40 - 60mm/sec.

For part removal I let the bed cool all the way down (22C) and use a 3/4" chisel with the bevel side down to gently pry up at the edges. The parts pop right off the bed once I get about half way around. I have printed many of these in a row without having to change the tape or re-level the bed.
