🛠️ K1C Side Screen Mount — 3D-printed bracket for relocating the Creality K1C touchscreen

K1C SideScreen Mount is a handy 3D-printed bracket that allows you to move the touchscreen of your Creality K1C 3D printer from the front panel to the right side of the frame. This simple upgrade is perfect for users who keep their printer inside an enclosure, on a shelf, or in a limited space where front access is difficult.

📦 Required components for installation:

1. 41-pin FFC to pin header adapter (0.5 mm pitch) 🔗 Buy: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EITEkow • Connects directly to the stock screen cable of the Creality K1C • Type: 41-pin FFC/FPC to pin header, 0.5 mm pitch

2. 41-pin FFC extension cable — 0.5 mm pitch, 50 cm length 🔗 Buy: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuxPVVY • Extends the display cable for flexible mounting • 50 cm length provides enough slack for clean cable routing

3. 2 bolts M3 - 8mm - for replace existed bolts on side from short to bigger

❗ Why these parts?

The Creality K1C touchscreen uses a 41-pin FFC ribbon cable with a 0.5 mm pitch. These exact parts were chosen because they are fully compatible with the printer’s connector — as confirmed visually. Cheaper alternatives might exist, but I haven’t found any with the same reliability and confirmed fit.

* - my way with extend board have one issue, by some reason grey color on small icons, have not the best resolution if you have other proposals how to move extend cord, let me know.

* Updates 8.10.2025 - I used a 20cm FFC cable and it works great, but it's harder to connect with printer and display.
