Displays

Display Panels mount two different types of display screens:

  • MCU displays include various TFT and older 128x64 character LCD diplays.
  • Raspberry Pi displays are TFT displays, usually used with OctoPrint or Klipper.

MCU Displays

Each supported MCU display screen has a subfolder in the /Panels/Display git folder. There is an optional STL file for a replacement display knob, as well.

Component names below link to the corresponding git folder. Most mounts require four (4) 6mm or M3 screws to fasten the display in place. Some mounts have two or three pieces and require additional screws.

CPU Displays

Many Klipper and Octoprint users have a CPU display attached to their Raspberry Pi (or other SBC), and some forego an MCU display entirely.

Any TFT designed with mounts points for a Raspberry Pi on the back should be compatible with OmniBox. These can all be mounted on short lids; some can be mounted as display panels. Users have also contributed additional display panel designs for specific TFT models.

Displays up to 7" can be attached to the lid.

Although any display can be mounted to the panel, 7-inch displays block the mounting holes.

Flush-mount panels are available for certain models. Illustrated is MaffooClock's panel for the BIGTREETECH PITFT50.
