Adjustable Touchscreen Mount

I built a swivel and tilt display mount for the Snapmaker U1 because I was annoyed by the original display position in the plastic housing—especially when the printer is placed in a corner or at a higher or lower position.
The display is factory-installed “only” with a kind of double-sided adhesive tape and can be easily removed.

With this mount, the original touchscreen display is preserved but can be swiveled sideways and tilted up or down. The mount remains in the original position within the housing.

The resistance during adjustment depends on how tightly the screws are tightened. You can adjust it so that the display is easy to operate without shifting unintentionally.

You’ll need to print 7 parts (very simple parts), plus M3 screws, double-sided adhesive tape, and an extension cable for the display.

I’ve created a detailed assembly guide (in German and English).

You can find the printed parts and assembly guide on Makerworld: https://makerworld.com/de/models/2274761-snapmaker-u1-swiveling-touchscreen-mount#profileId-2480088

Maybe you have some improvement suggestions :slight_smile:

Thank you :raising_hands:t2:

Have you already modified your U1?

I built it - excellent fit and an easy-to-follow instruction. Thanks a lot for your design!

Great job — although I’ll probably never actually do this quest :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
The very first thing that stood out to me when I started using the U1 was the lack of any screen tilt adjustment. That feels like a pretty basic thing for a display like this in such a design.
It really makes me wonder how this wasn’t noticed when they were evaluating the printer’s comfort and user-friendliness :thinking:

I’ve downloaded and printed it, but I waiting for my delivery yet.:grin:

I thought this would bother me but after well over a month of use, I have zero issue with the screen. That said, I love the mod and may do it :sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns:
