TFT35 Case For Taz 5 and other 2020 3D Printers (Taz 4, Taz 6 too)

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4362512.

• 5/17/20: Added alternative versions of Bottom case part, including for using M3 T Slot nuts, for using M2.5 (3.8mm OD) heatset inserts, and one file for both modifications.
• There's also a version available for the Sidewinder X-1 as well as a remixed back part for installing on an Ender 5 Plus and CR-10s Pro

This is for replacing the LCD on the Lulzbot Taz 4 / 5 / 6 with a BigtreeTech TFT35 v3.0. Remove the existing LCD and use the preinstalled M5 T slot nuts to secure the TFT_BottomNew.stl to the frame. Made the opening just big enough to be able to fit the wires in there, if you have trouble you can always add your own hole or make it bigger and install the wires before mounting it. Also included a version with M3 sized mounting holes for possible use in other 2020 extrusion based machines. The top cover screws into the bottom part with M2.5 screws self-threading them into the plastic. This works fine for me but if you prefer I've included a version optimized for M2.5 heatset inserts with a diameter of 3.8mm.

Made as a part of my Taz 5 SKR 1.4 Turbo / SSR Upgrade project. A cheaper (but more labor intensive) alternative to upgrading your machine to the less popular (less supported) Archim board. So don't ask how to connect the TFT35 to the Taz's stock RAMBO board (I don't think it's possible)

• On the Taz the LCD backplate kind of acts as support for the frame so I would recommend adding an inside corner reinforcement like here or here as an example to make sure everything stays nice and square.

Required Materials

• 2x M2.5 x 16mm Hex Socket Cap Screws
• 2x M2.5 x 12mm Hex Socket Cap Screws
• 3x M5 x 10-12mm Machine Screws

Notes / Afterthoughts

3D Printing is my passion and I hope this helps somebody out there as downloading designs from here once helped me much. After a while I got tired of printing something and having it be a waste of filament because of a bad design, designer having different calibration, etc. So if you have any issues let me know, only takes a few minutes for me to make a few changes and upload. If you want to help support my efforts to put more quality part designs on thingiverse hit the tip button in my profile. Thanks so much and hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Appreciate seeing my designs out in the wild so please do post makes!
