LCD 12864 holder on adjustable stand

IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten bolts.

I have modified the files based on a Front Cover and the Back Plate print, these new modified the files are untested but the Front Cover and the Back Plate that hold the LCD 12864 should now fit together better.

There is a cut out for easier SD removal.

The "lcd_12864_ball_mount.stl" needed printing with the cups facing up and supports turned on. This is to prevent bad plastic inside the cups that need to contact the ball joint.

It may be best to print the Ball, (lcd_12864_ball_mount.stl), and Socket, (lcd_12864_ball_holder.stl) parts set to fine, 0.01mm layer height, to make them move smoothly together.

There are two knob types :-
lcd_12864_main_knob_round_shaft.stl ( For round shafts, not tested for fit)
lcd_12864_main_knob_flat_edged.stl (For shafts with a flat edge)
There are two other knob types similar but have less depth on the turning part, the filename begins with "less". These are here for completeness. Remember there are lots of different knob shaft types.

I have also made a the Back Cover and the Ball joint Mounting, (inside_mounting), so that they can be easier fastened together from the inside of the Back Cover. It was a bit difficult for me to bolt the Ball joint Mount onto the Back Cover because the Ball restricted easy access.

Using these; fasten the Ball joint Mounting to the Back Cover from the inside of the Back Cover first then fasten this to to the front cover.

Remember to add the Reset Button before putting the PCB into the Front cover.

These two files are :-
inside_bolt_mounting_lcd_12864_ball_mount.stl
and
inside_bolt_mounting_lcd_12864_back_cover.stl

There are now two Reset button's, I found that one, (lcd_12864_reset_button_loose.stl), could move too much if this unit is tipped. This was just annoying if this unit was tipped about making a loose sound, see video. So I made a Reset Button that should move about less, (lcd_12864_reset_button.stl).

NOTE: At 20% infill the PCB supports can break if the holes are not pre-drilled. I drill bolt holes out at 2.5mm then screw a bolt in to pre-cut the threads in PLA.

IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten bolts.

I have created a Back Plate with out any holes in, if you want to use without the stand, file:-

no_back_holes_lcd_12864_back_cover.stl
