3D-PRINTED CASE INSTALLTION GUIDE
=====================================

If you need to place the touch screen in a more convenient position, you can use a 3D printer to create a custom case. Below is a step-by-step guide to assembling the 3D-printed case, along with detailed descriptions and accompanying images.

We have provided the 3D printer files for this project:

* **Download the 3D Printer Files**: :download:`3D Printer File <_static/zip/sunfounder_10.1_screen_3d_print_case.zip>`

#. First, carefully remove the acrylic cover from the Raspberry Pi.

#. After printing the provided files, ensure that all the 3D-printed parts are clean and free from debris. The printed set should include multiple plates, a back cover(2 half), a support stand, and button inserts.

#. Place the button components into the plate with slots.

#. Place the 10.1 inch screen into the designated slot on the case. Ensure it fits snugly and aligns with the edges.

#. While holding the screen and case together, flip the assembly over carefully. Ensure that the button inserts remain in their positions. Use four **M2.5x6 screws** to secure the case.

#. Align the second half of the 3D-printed case with the back cover. Snap it into place gently and secure it with three **M2.5x6 screws**. Ensure all screws are tightened evenly to avoid misalignment.

#. Snap the support stand onto the back of the case. Secure it with two **M2.5x6 screws**. The stand will allow the display to remain upright at an ideal viewing angle.

#. Once all components are securely fastened, flip the assembled unit to its upright position. Verify that the screen is at a comfortable viewing angle and that all parts are stable.

**Notes**

* Ensure you have all necessary screws (M2.5x6) and tools, such as a small screwdriver, before starting the assembly process.
* Handle the touchscreen and 3D-printed parts with care to avoid damage.
* If any 3D-printed parts are not fitting as expected, double-check the print dimensions and clean up any excess material.

With this 3D-printed case, your Raspberry Pi touchscreen can now be positioned conveniently and securely for a better user experience.
