Panel Mounts

Using Panel Mounts

Connector panel mounts will typically be on the rear panel and connect with the printer. Extensions can be mounted on the front or rear and are typically for SD Cards and USB ports.

Front Panels

The front panel is long and slim and can be used for mounting small hardware ports. The most common examples are SD Card extensions and USB extensions. You can find these files in the Panels/Front Panel git folder.

The example below has a Micro SD extension and USB-C extension with slat-style vents.
