Sure, I need to disassemble to take meaningful measurements. I'll try to include photos.

Here's some quick photo's. Hope this is showing the A23 part too short. So we cannot mount the LCD on TOP of the XZ frame. We have to mount in front of the XZ plane. All the sales brochures show it mounted on top and is a much better look.

You can use extra acrylic washer, and mount the LCD frame like this:

I thought about that but only 4 acrylic washers were in the parts bag. I would need 2 extra which does not come with the kit.

Zhangxueyou, I tried installing the LCD Panel as you suggested but it just isn't solid enough. Especially when trying to press the menu selector knob to execute a command. Felt very flimsy, It really needs 6 spacers to make it solid. Well, I just went ahead and CAD a new bracket, printed and installed it. here is what it looks like:

Notice how the LCD faceplate now even sits flush with top of the XZ frame like nearly all the Geeetech Acrylic Advertisements? That is what I was trying to tell you earlier. Here's another angle picture taken from the front, Notice how much prettier it looks?

So now here's a picture of my machine which is running pretty good. I decided to try and print with ABS for the first time. I found out it's not as easy as PLA. Notice in the pic I have a newly printed Extruder Bracket printed in ABS which I will install soon to help with extruder assembly sagging problem.
