Huanyan VFD Keypad Sidecar
Huanyan VFD Keypad Sidecar
Mount your Huanyan VFD keypad on your G3 Touch with Park and Home buttons.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 them with Charcoal PLA Matte for the housing, back plate, and mounting plate, and white PLA Matte for the text, because the finish looks good.
