    Hi, I'm pretty new to Robo 3D. Was a bit disappointed that it didn't came with some sort of display/controller especially when a full graphic display controller is less than $12 shipped. After a few searches, I found how to install it and configure the firmware. Love how now I don't need to attach my laptop to start a print or even just to heat the hot end to change filaments.

    I've searched on thingiverse but couldn't find a enclosure of my liking, so I ended up designing my own version. I designed it in 3 parts (4 if you count the stop button) which can be printed without support. Parts snap together very snug without need of glue or screws. The LCD display is flush to the enclosure, and it can be mounted directly on the front right side rail of the Robo 3D itself like the included spool holder. I appreciate the useful info found on this forum, so I've share my design to anyone like it.

    Awesome. I did use one from thingiverse, but it did need TLC and screws.
    Good work.

    Great design @3d_dan

    Just got my Full Graphic Controller and want to mount using your design however I can't for the life of me figure out how you've routed the cables to reach that position. Mine (also from eBay) came with 30cm cables. Were yours longer?

    They are standard ribbon cable so you could re-make them longer if needed.
