Skadis Screen Mount

The Neptune 4 Max's touchscreen controller detaches from the printer, which is great right up until it is sitting loose on the bench taking up space. This puts it on the pegboard instead — still at arm's reach, off the work surface. Four hooks are printed into the body, so it hangs on a Skadis board with no screws, no adhesive and nothing to buy. One piece, one plate.

One STL and one 3MF. The 3MF carries the profile this part needs — tree supports, a 5 mm outer brim and 0.12 mm layers — so it is the faster path if you are on a Creality machine.

The 3MF is the faster path — it carries the support and brim settings this part needs. A full print & hang guide is attached to the model listings.

What It Holds

The Screen, Not the Printer

Worth being clear about before you spend four hours of filament on it, because it is a specific part for a specific job.

The Control Unit Only
Sized for the detachable Neptune 4 Max touchscreen. It is not a mount for the printer body, and it is not a general-purpose tablet holder — a tablet in a case will not sit in this cradle.
Four Hooks, No Hardware
Two rows of two, printed into the body. The top row goes through a row of slots, the mount drops about 5 mm, and the lower lips catch behind the board. It comes off the same way in reverse.
Optional Magnet Pocket
A ⌀13.0 × 3.2 mm recess in the cradle face takes a 1/2 in × 1/8 in disc magnet. Glue it in with a drop of superglue rather than pressing it — print tolerance moves that fit either way. It works fine left empty.

Slice It Right

This one does need supports. Tree supports on auto at a 30° threshold, plus a 5 mm outer brim — the part is tall and narrow on the plate and the brim is what keeps it there. All of that is already in the 3MF.

The fussy part of the build is cleanup, not printing. Supports sit under the hooks and in the cradle throat, and every hook throat has to be clear before the screen will seat properly. If the mount ends up sitting proud of the board, that is why — not the board. The guide walks through it.

It takes a patch of board about 70 × 61 mm and stands 123 mm off the face, which is real leverage on four printed hooks in a plastic panel. Rigid enough to work the touchscreen where it hangs; not something to lean on. PLA is fine unless the board sits right beside an enclosed printer, in which case print it in PETG.
