Bezel for AWC608 controller - print your own!
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 12:41 pm
For my laser, I was trying to figure out how to mount the AWC608 's LCD panel. The construction is kind of strange, it's not obvious how to mount it on a panel nicely.
If you have access to a 3D printer, then the files enclosed here might be useful -- it's a printable bezel for the AWC608's control panel.
After printing the bezel, temporarily disconnect the ribbon cable leading to the LCD, thread it through the opening in the bezel, then reconnect. The AWC608 should press-fit into the bezel, leaving the mounting screws sticking out on the back (without the nuts getting in the way). You can now attach this to your laser's control panel.
I think it looks good too - hope someone finds it useful!

Below are a .STEP model, an .STL file (suitable for printing), the Alibre/Geomagic CAD file, and some photos.
