HELLO! IS THERE A WAY TO MOUNT THE DISPLAY PANEL ON THE TOP OF THE PRINTER FRAME. IS THERE A ADD ON MOUNTING PANEL THAT THE DISPLAY GOES ON, OR WHERE DOES IT GO INSTEAD OF HANGING DOWN BEHIND THE PRINTER. DO YOU HAVE A DIAGRAM. CAN THE POWER SUPPLY BE MOUNTED TO THE BACK OF THE PRINTER INSTEAD OF ON THE FLOOR?
THANKS
STEVE

I'm almost done building mine also. The Acrylic I3 Pro LCD frame holder (Part A23) is too short to place the LCD on top of the XZ frame. The hole that screws into the XZ frame the the lowest hole(s) on the LCD frame is a span of 27mm. I think it was short by about ~9mm. The whole A23 part is too short in length also to accommodate redrilling the hole to fit. I offset mine by sliding the whole A23 piece down and drilled a new hole 27mm away. At the top scews, install a spacer and it's very rigid. I'm planning on later printing an upgraded part to use as the "new upgraded" A23 part, unless Geeetech beats me to it and releases an stl file for a new upgraded A23 lcd bracket for us to print (hint, hint).

There are extra longer screws in package, you can use them to mount the LCD.

How long is the frame holder?

The screws are not the issue, yes, there are more than enough screws that fit.
How long is the frame holder?
The Acrylic frame holder that is used is roughly 82mm in length The hole spread from the top most screw to the hole on the XZ Frame is 80mm in order to mount the lcd flush to the top (the best look of assembly). That would leave you roughly 1mm on each edge top and bottom if you were to drill it that way. Not sufficient mechanical strength to last. You can always mount it offset in front of the holes in the XZ frame but don't have that nice look with the holder sticking down. I just assume to print a new part to secure it in the back and let the lcd sit flush on the top of the XZ frame. I'll probably make an stl for that.
