Remove the foam and carefully cut along the tape with a craft knife to avoid prying the lipo battery.\nRemove the control board and the fresnel lens. The screen assembly should freely slide out of the housing.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/03.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 4\n\nBe careful removing the screen, as it's not attached to the circuit board. Pull them gently together to avoid damaging the ribbon cable.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/04.jpg'/\u003e\n\nThere are two variants of this board - the \"diversity\" version with two antennas (not real RX diversity) and the single antenna version I have here, my case design is for this version.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/05.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 5\n\nNext, you'll tape up the exposed breakout pins to avoid short circuiting them when you secure the screen to the surface (the back of the LCD is metal).\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/06.jpg'/\u003e\n\nCut some pieces of electrical tape to cover the breakout pins and gently press the screen onto the board to secure it with double sticky tape.\nUse double sided tape, foam tape will make the assembly too thick.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/07.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 6\n\nNavigate to [/STL/](/STL/), download and 3D print the housing.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/08.jpg'/\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/09.jpg'/\u003e\n\nI created this to fit on a 10x10 printing platform, which is common among lowest-end printers. Due to this, the USB charging port sticks out a bit. If you want to make it flush with the side of the case, simply extrude the right wall by 3mm to the left.\n\n### Step 7\n\nRemove the metal frame from the LCD panel. It will only get caught in the ridges of the 3D print and may actually damage your screen.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/10.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 8\n\nSlot the assembly into the body of the case, ribbon cable side first, carefully allowing the case to bend it over the edge.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/11.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 9\n\nDe-solder the connector from the control board and re-attach the cables in order for the buttons to fit into the rear panel holes. Make sure to note which cable goes where, they're both black.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/12.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 10\n\nAdd some foam padding to the motherboard to sit against the control board to prevent it from sinking into the case when pressing the buttons.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/13.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Step 11\n\nSlot the rear cover into the bottom rail, aligning the top rail gaps then push it in to mesh both rails and slide the cover on.\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/14.jpg'/\u003e\n\n### Done!\n\nYour screen assembly is now complete! Happy flying!\n\n\u003cimg src='/Images/000.jpg'/\u003e","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnomand%2Feachinevr006","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnomand%2Feachinevr006","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnomand%2Feachinevr006/lists"}
