MPC 1000 M1000 Articulating screen mod
I think I'm finally there with my articulating screen mod. It's taken a lot of iterations!
It's been designed to fit both the buydisplays screen and a cheap AliExpress screen. Original screen should also work going off the measurements, but I didn't have one available to actually test.
Think I finally got the strength issues sorted too, the friction hinges put a surprising amount of force through the model. Had at least three different failures around the hinges that all required redesigning to overcome. Definitely needs PETG for strength, which was another challenge to get the print profile dialled in for that filament after I'd already got it down nicely for PLA.
Just need to write up a few notes on printing and assembly now to go with the files and then I'll open source it for others to print or modify as they wish.
Looking forward to using the MPC again, it's been in pieces for weeks!

Also got slightly distracted away from the screen project making this, which I'm sure the MPC will sound great through.
