LCD mount on acrylic version

[Gwen]

Dear all I have the Rostock max in acrylic version with the LCD panel.

But I cannot find the emplacement to mount it!

Do I need to mount it on the secon door ?

Difficult to find the exact place !

Thanks in advance

Does your second door have a cutout for it? You can mount it there or with the bracket you have. Could you post a photo of the door so we can see if it is cut the same as the melamine?

cheers,
Michael

Hi Gwen,

Here are some photos of how to mount it.

The knob didn't come with the kit but can be found on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281036961810?ru ... 26_rdc%3D1

Mine is mounted the same as the pictures above. I had to make the holes a bit bigger for the bolt to fit through.

OK I understand now. FOr my configuration, I've put the Rambo on the backdoor ( near Z axis, if I'm right).

And the front door for the LCD mount.

The front and the backdoor are entirely the same (same holes, same references), but no hole for the lcd, just for a fan.

That's interesting Gwen. The melamine Rostock has 2 different doors - they differ in the cutouts. The door between the X and Y is where the RAMBois mounted (on the back side) and the door between Y and Z is where the optional LCD display is mounted. Maybe the acrylic kit is different!

What I can't figure out is why they had us mount the Rambo on the back side of the door between the X and Y, when there is no way to mount the LCD on the outside of that door. Also when mounting the LCD on the other door (between the Y and Z) there is no way to fasten the outer cover down. Glue, maybe.

I swapped my doors on my acrylic rostock and mounted the Rambo and LCD on the door between the X and Y axis. I posted photos in another thread of it. The face plate is currently just sitting on top, but I plan on printing something to hold it all together. I just need to find some time to design it.

I screwed it. http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1289 -> Switches

I saw that you had screwed it in. Are the screws going into the brackets? For wood this is easy to do. On the acrylic it may be tough to do without cracking the acrylic. I have an idea I just need to find time to work out the details.
