To mount the Sakura Pi RK3308B inside the Voron machine, we designed a front panel based on the official version that can accommodate a 480x272 screen.
The screen is fixed to the back of the panel using double-sided tape, and the FPC cable passes through a slot to connect to the development board located at the back.

The model includes 3 holes corresponding to the screw positions of the development board. Use Voron-compatible heat-set inserts, which need to be installed manually.

Notes

Due to height constraints, it is recommended to purchase two 90-degree Type-C adapters; otherwise, the board may hit the bottom plate of the Voron power distribution box.
