Prep the prints
2 fabrication jobs · before disassembly3D Printer
The LCD enclosure and its top cover are printed parts. Print them in a high-temp filament: ABS, ASA, PC or PA nylon. High-temp PETG works too. PLA is not suitable.
Soldering Iron
The enclosure takes 4 threaded brass inserts for the M3 hinge screws. A heat-set insert kit is essential, preferably a soldering iron held in a press, so each insert seats straight and flush.
