OctoDash is a very cool dashboard / touchscreen UI for OctoPrint that you can download and install on your Raspberry Pi. It is recommended to configure your Pi with auto-login to desktop and auto-launch the OctoDash app at startup.
Octodash will work with almost any display attached to the Pi but I found this really nice 4-inch IPS touchscreen on AliExpress that is perfectly suited - so I built a mount to integrate it into the V2.4 skirt as a drop-in replacement for the stock front panel. As such it should work on any size V2.4 (250/300/350) with the stock left- and right- front skirt pieces.
When buying this screen I recommend you choose the "4-inch IPS screen for 3B" even if you are using a Raspberry Pi model 4B, because the 3B variant comes with a full-size HDMI adapter which is easier to buy a cable for.
For the HDMI cable to connect the screen to your Pi, if you have a Pi 4B you will need a Micro HDMI Male to Full size HDMI Female, 20-30cm long. These should be readily available on Amazon, AliExpress or eBay. Pi 3B requires Full size HDMI Male to Full size HDMI Female 20-30cm long.
You will also need a 26-40-way ribbon cable with Male IDC connector on one end and Female on the other to connect the screen to your Pi - this cable provides power and connectivity for the touchscreen function. I bought mine on eBay but you can get away with a 26-26 or 40-40 if you cannot find a 26-40, or relatively easily make one yourself if you just buy the loose parts. At a push you could even just wire up the individual pins required (see the AliExpress page) rather than use a ribbon cable - only 14 of the pins are actually used.
You will need to download and install the appropriate display driver from the location shown on the AliExpress page.
The touchscreen comes with a button that you can press to cycle around the screen brightness levels (10%-100%). In theory you only need to do this once because the screen remembers your setting even after power loss. However the button is inaccessible when mounted in the Voron skirt, so I incorporated a way to mount a cheap and commonly available 6mmx6mmx4.3mm push button like this one in the skirt. You can get these from Amazon, AliExpress, eBay, etc. for around 1 cent/pence each. The also often come in electronics "starter kits".
The following is for optionally attaching to your bottom panel. You will only be able to do this if you haven't made the cutout - see below)
I have provided STL files for the main display mount, which prints in 2 parts and screws together, and a small button extension for the push-button switch.
Print the STL files in the orientation shown in the image below. 3 walls / 3 top / 3 bottom and 40% infill is sufficient.
The standard Voron front left and right skirt pieces do not need to be changed. However if you have a 300x300 Voron you might want to consider my skirt mod for the front left and right pieces.
