Adjustable Touchscreen Mount

U1 Toolchanger U1 Featured Showcase Collection
1

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:

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:

Would be great if this was uploaded somewhere you don’t need to log in to download the files

Thanks for designing and uploading this. I find the fixed screen, in my location, difficult to see. In particular the contrast for some ‘buttons’. I may not need the full articulation, maybe just a fixed angle, but your design will be useful. Nice to know someone has been able to remove the screen, and reuse it.

I have fitted my fixed angled adapter. I found a fair bit of heat was needed to soften the glue around the display. All the glue remained on the display, so I was able to reuse it to stick it to my mount. For fixing my mount to the case, I used half of the cheap machinist’s trick, - good quality painter’s masking tape and super glue. I taped the lip on the printer recess, put the glue on the back of my adapter. With a lesser angle, it may be possible to not require the extension ribbon cable, but 100mm was good enough for this. I’ve attached the zipped .obj file.
