Descripción
This model is a modification of the CC MINI.STL file provided with the Centauri Carbon printer, designed to house a 2.8" Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) for monitoring printer status. If the riser and glass cover are omitted, the case can function as an informative pencil holder.
Practical uses include mounting a CYD flush with the case face to display status messages. The design features a hole for a USB cable to exit the back and an extended top section.
Included parts
- cc-monitor-ldr: Case with a hole for an LDR (or LED on newer CYD models)
- cc-monitor-plain: Basic case without an LDR/LED hole
- cc-riser-logo: Riser featuring the Elegoo logo
- cc-riser: Plain riser
- glass: Cover with a handle
Required hardware:
- Right-angle USB (e.g., USB-micro right-angle cable assembly or a USB-C right-angle adapter with a standard USB-C cable). Note: Do not power the CYD with two cables simultaneously.
- Two 6mm M3 bolts
- Two M3 nuts
Printing and assembly guidance:
- All parts require supports.
- The glass cover is designed at 0.4mm thickness (two 0.2mm layers). For a clearer transparent handle, the author suggests printing very slowly with a small layer height, such as 0.1mm. The handle color can be changed after the first 0.4mm of printing.

<h3>Intro</h3><p>What better way to monitor your Centauri Carbon than with a little Centauri Carbon with CYD?</p><p>I modified the <code>CC MINI.STL</code> file provided with my printer to hold a 2.8" Cheap Yellow Display (CYD). I added holes in the front to mount a CYD flush with the face of the case as well as a hole for a USB cable to exit from the back. I needed to extend the top of the case a bit, and created a riser and "glass" cover for it. </p><h4>Files</h4><ul><li><p><code>cc-monitor-ldr</code>: case with hole for LDR (or LED on newer model CYDs)</p></li><li><p><code>cc-monitor-plain</code>: basic case without a hole for the LDR/LED</p></li><li><p><code>cc-riser-logo</code>: riser with Elegoo logo</p></li><li><p><code>cc-riser</code>: plain riser (no logo)</p></li><li><p><code>glass</code>: cover with handle (change color for handle after .4mm, if desired)</p></li></ul><h4>Hardware</h4><ul><li><p>Right-angle USB: shown are a USB-micro right-angle cable assembly, and a USB-C right-angle adapter with a standard USB-C cable.

I designed it at just 0.4mm thick and printed as 2 .2mm layers. That is the one with the transparent handle. I since learned I should print very slowly with a small layer height, so the one with the colored handle was printed with a .1mm height and does look somewhat clearer. (Still not perfectly clear...)</p></li><li><p>The monitoring program still needs a lot of development. I will update when I feel it is complete. If anyone is interested, I have two desktop Python programs to a) connect to the CC and record the status messages it produces to a file, and b) a player program to emulate a CC printer by sending the messages from a file to the CYD.
