Flip over the frame assembly

Verify the notch cut in step 3 is positioned correctly. (rectangle)

Tap M2.5 threads in the plastic as indicated by the four blue circles.

Install LCD driver boards

1 x HDMI to LVDS conversion board to drive LCD panel.

1 x voltage booster to drive fluorescent backlight

1 x button board (not useful for us, but must be attached to driver board. I found this out the hard way and had to buy a replacement driver board.)

8 x 6-32 screws

Connect 12V power and HDMI cables to driver board

(Optional) Wrap wire bundle in braided sleeve for neatness.

Install screen

1 x LG Philips LP171WU1 as salvaged from Dell Inspiron E1705

4 x M2.5 screws salvaged with the panel

(Optional) Test screen assembly

If you have a functional desktop PC nearby, attach the power and HDMI connectors to the PC and verify screen assembly functions correctly as a monitor.

Set the screen assembly aside for now.

Begin building the main chassis

1 x 155mm Misumi HFS5 extrusion (M5 tapped both ends)

Attach one of two base plates

Fusion 360 object path: "Bottom"/"Bottom Left"

(Yes, the name can be confusing. We're building the chassis with the front facing away from us, while the CAD was designed while looking at the front, so the left/right names are flipped from what we are seeing now.)

Tap 6-32 threads as indicated by two blue circles.

2 x M5 10mm socket head screw

2 x Misumi HNTT5-5 extrusion assembly nut

Continue building the chassis base

1 x 245mm Misumi HFS5 extrusion (no tap)

2 x M5 10mm socket head screw

3 x Misumi HNTT5-5 extrusion assembly nut

Two of the nuts are used to attach the base plate to the extrusion. The third nut is added to the opposite rail (facing away from the camera in this picture) for later use.

Attach the the other half of the base

Fusion 360 object path: "Bottom"/"Bottom Right"

Tap 6-32 threads as indicated by two blue circles.

2 x M5 10mm socket head screw

2 x Misumi HNTT5-5 extrusion assembly nut

Add extrusion to the chassis base
