I wanted to be sure that each computer’s screen could be visible in the lab so one could see everything going on across the whole lab at once. The solution to this was to get a handful of small LCD screens that are each paired to a computer in the lab. Since space is at a premium in the lab’s design, these small screens would need to be mounted above the computers themselves. The holster with screen model lets the screens sit on top, mounted from the underside which leaves this model especially simple. This model only required the creation of a box that sits on top of the screen as a bezel. While the lab would’ve functioned just fine with the screens’ boards being exposed to the open air, it just wouldn’t have had much of a finished look.
Maybe I should’ve just left well enough alone! This model took many attempts to get right due to the fact that the manufacturer doesn’t publish specs for the mounting holes and sizes. This meant that each attempt had to be built or tweaked from manually measured data - which always leads to suboptimal part fit. The first prototype or two was too tight to even fit the screen into the bezel so checking the fit of other through holes in the design couldn’t be done. Additionally, the size of the screw hole standoffs required a few iterations to get right because of where the screen physically strap. To top it off, at least one of the prototypes (maybe more) needed to be tweaked because I moved the screen opening up when I should have moved it down.
It may have put up a fight, but I especially appreciate the finished look of bezels for all of the lab screens!
