Details
LaserNinja's Thingiverse design from the end of 2023 adds a hinged lid over the screen. It reuses the bezel screw positions, so you need M4 screws longer than the stock ones because the threaded insert sits deep in the body; the female hinge part is printed twice and mirrored in the slicer, with minimal supports on the hinges. m3x's Printables re-upload credits the original. nyptus later remixed it with storage for two microSD cards.
