# Octodash Touch Screen Mount
#Summary
My printer needed an upgrade, I found that I had an old LCD HDMI Touch screen lying around and decided to add Octodash to my setup. Since I already use Octoprint, the plugin was simply installed and the screen was up and running. As for the case for the touch screen, I modelled the touch screen in Fusion 360 and then built the case around it. Sadly my aluminium extrusion is not the normal kind and doesn't allow t nuts to be used as the width of the slot is 5mm and not the normal 6mm. I managed to fix this by printing some clips that rotate into the slots and adding some 3d printed TPU seals to make the adhesion to the bar better.
# Assembly Notes
I found that although there are 6 clips I could only use three, three seemed to do the job. It's difficult to get all 6 in on a corner.
# Touch Screen
As for the Touch screen, I couldn't figure out which version it is and where I got it from, I've attached a picture of the back of the PCB
