# LCD panel install

> Remove the shipping bracket and mount the LCD touchscreen in its correct position.

## Installing the LCD panel

The first assembly step is the **LCD touchscreen** - your control panel for the printer. It ships mounted upside down on a metal bracket. You will remove that bracket and clip the screen into its correct position on the front top-left of the printer.

<Info>
  For this step you need the **second-largest Allen wrench** from your set of three.

## Step-by-step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Position the printer">
    Pull the printer to the center of your workspace. The LCD panel is on the front-left, currently installed upside down on a sheet-metal bracket held by four screws.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove the four bracket screws">
    Using the second-largest Allen wrench, unscrew all four screws holding the metal bracket. Remember: **lefty-loosey, righty-tighty** - turn left to loosen. Support the LCD panel with your free hand as it comes loose so it does not drop.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the screws and bracket aside">
    Place the four screws in your workspace. Once all four are out, remove the sheet-metal bracket completely. **This bracket is not used again** - set it aside in your storage box.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Flip the panel to face you">
    Turn the LCD panel upright so the screen faces the user. On the back of the panel you will see **two notches**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Clip the panel into place">
    The frame of the printer has two matching notches on the front top-left. Place the panel's notches onto the frame's notches and **slide it toward the center**. It will click and lock firmly into place.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Peel off the screen sticker">
    Remove the protective plastic film from the front of the screen. Put the film in your storage box.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The panel locks in with a satisfying click. Give it a gentle wiggle to confirm both clips are seated in their holes before moving on.
</Tip>

<Check>
  The LCD touchscreen is mounted upright on the front top-left, locked into both notches, and the protective film is removed. The old bracket and four screws are stored away.
</Check>

<Warning>
  Return your Allen wrench to your tool area after each step. Losing a hex key mid-build will stop your progress, and they are not individually replaceable.
</Warning>

## Up next

With the screen installed, the next step is connecting the **filament feed tube** (the white PTFE tube) between the extruder and the filament sensor.
