PwnCNC/Delixi VFD Keypad Sidecar (Maker Files)

MAKER FILES ONLY

Mount your PwnCNC VFD Keypad on your G3 Touch with Park and Home buttons.  It will work with any Delixi CDI-EM60 series VFD keypad.

This sidecar is different than others on the market.  It doesn't prevent opening the G3 Touch enclosure. Simply grab the housing and pull it away from the mounting plate. It's held in place by magnets and reinforced by simple cleats.

Its compact design matches the design of the G3 Touch enclosure, so it looks nice too.

We print ours as a multi-color print on an X1 Carbon with Charcoal PLA Matte for the housing, back plate, and mounting plate, and white PLA Matte for the text, because the finish looks good.
