🔄 UPDATE 06-01-2026

- Added a bracket to mount the Knomi display on the right side of the Panda display - If you have not printed the main support yet , you can directly print the updated versions (also available on the Knomi profile). - If you have already printed the support , you will need to: - Enlarge the two existing holes to allow the screws that secure the Knomi bracket to pass through. - (Optional) Add an additional hole for improved USB cable routing. - Removed version V1 , as it is completely overlapping with V2. - Created two separate print profiles: - Profile 1 – Panda Display + temperature/humidity sensors - 2 build plates: - one with all V2 parts - one with all V3 parts - Profile 2 – Panda Display + Knomi + sensors - 3 build plates: - one with the modified V2 support - one with the modified V3 support - one with the Knomi bracket - Standardized the diameter of all M3 insert holes - Inserts can now be installed from both sides . - This prevents PLA blockages or excess material during insertion. - Added a note about removing the original display - The original display must be removed by sliding it to the right . - Updated images in the DOCUMENTATION section - Improved documentation for display and sensor installation steps . 🔧 Knomi Display LED Light Issue (Visual Effect)

- When the Knomi display is powered on, two LEDs turn on : - a red LED on the rear side - a white LED on the bottom side - These LEDs shine through the Knomi bracket material , creating an unwanted light bleed effect , especially noticeable in low-light conditions. - This issue is purely aesthetic and does not affect functionality , but it can be visually distracting. - Solution: Place two small pieces of black electrical tape over the LEDs, as shown in the images in the DOCUMENTATION section. - This completely blocks the light bleed and resolves the issue. 🔄 UPDATE 05-10-2025

- Added BRACKET V2 - Includes a slotted hole under the Bambu Lab display to make display removal easier (useful for users with the release lever). - Added BRACKET V3 - Version designed for users with the Bigtreetech sensor . - Installation is similar to the BigT bracket . 🔄 UPDATE 15-02-2025

- Reduced hole diameters for users with smaller M3 inserts . - Thanks to @BaschDE for suggesting the installation of the I2P temperature/humidity sensor . - Added two cable pass-throughs : - one for the I2P sensor cable - one for a possible external camera (the thin wall must be removed to allow cable passage) - Created a base to house the I2P sensor PCB (build plate 2). - I2P sensor is supplied with a 4-wire cable and two connectors : - Pay close attention during connection: - remove only the center tab from the connector intended for the Panda display - the two outer tabs ensure a stable fit  -----------------------------------------------------------------

🖥️ PANDA DISPLAY SUPPORT

I made several changes to Patrick’s original model to improve functionality, stability, and usability .

📐 Display Positioning

- The Panda display has been moved forward to avoid steps on the back. - This allows the support and the USB cable cover to be printed without supports . 🔌 USB Cable Cover

- Added a cover that: - protects the USB cable - closes the printer opening - secures the display support with a screw 📦 Compatibility

- Compatible with all AMS drawer types . 🧵 USB Cable Management

- Improved USB cable routing. - Easier and safer installation. - Avoids excessively tight bends. 📏 Base Angle

- Revised the base angle to eliminate excessive play of the Bambu Lab display. - Improved overall stability. 🧲 Mounting

- The Panda display uses 5 sufficiently strong magnets . - Added M3 threaded inserts for more secure fixation. 📷 External Camera Mount Support

- On the right side of the support there are 3 M3 threaded inserts . - Intended for a possible external camera arm . - Dimensions are shown in the images. - The camera mount is not included and must be designed according to your needs. 🔩 Panda Display Screws

- The original Panda display screws can only be reused for the lower holes . - The center screws must be replaced , as shown in the images. 🛠️ INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

- Remove the Bambu Lab display by applying pressure and sliding it to the right . - Mount the Bambu Lab display onto the printed support and gently press it into the central hole (with very rigid materials, slightly heating the hole may help) . - Connect the Bambu Lab display connector. - Place the support onto the printer and slide it to the left until it locks. - Route all cables through the printer and support holes. - Secure the sensor base inside the printer using double-sided tape and connect the USB cable to the Panda display. - Secure the base with M3 screws. - Connect the I2P sensor cable to the Panda display. 👉 To remove the Panda display, disconnect the sensor connector first.
