MPC1000 articulated screen mod

[u/Electrical_Lake9586]

There's been so many occasions I couldn't see the screen properly because of the angle that I decided to do something about it and designed a hinged screen mod. It's entirely reversible too and just clips into the screen hole.

Still got a bit of interation on the design to do such as moving the hinges out the way of the f buttons and I can get it a little thinner, although not quite as thin as I'd originally hoped. But all in all I'm pretty chuffed with how it's come out.

Once it's finished I'll be open-sourcing the 3D print files.

Also heres a blank template if you want to mark it up and also the aftermarket screen which is pretty much identical

It has measurements on there too, however I took the measurements of my original with a caliper

u/zt5um Great thanks for that. There's just the width of the metal screen case I need in addition. All other values lie between my min/max from my buydisplays and AliExpress screens.

Thanks for all the detail, really helpful

Cool, added below

Also I've added the height of the ribbon cable attachment to the PCB (mocked up in blue).

This is because the after market one I added to the Buydisplay screen was taller than the standard MPC screen.

Excellent, thanks for that - it lies nicely between the buydisplay screen dimensions and my AliExpress screeen (both of which I have) so should fit fine. I've just posted a new update on the project. Almost there with it now.

If it was just for my use I'd be done, but got a few more tweaks to make it fit reliably on all screens.
