Overview
The Raspberry Touch Display 2 is out now and you can 3D print a custom enclosure to hang it from your wall.
It's a nice, clean setup: just connect the Pi's power cable and you have everything you need to make a interactive Pi project.
We've been using it in our kitchen and have our Adafruit IO dashboard open so we can quickly see sensor data from all of our internet of things (IoT) devices!
The connection to the mount has a three-part articulating hinge that allows you to position it at different angles.
It features a modular mounting system that allows you to easily fix it to any wall.
This works great in our kitchen set up with a mini wireless keyboard for displaying videos, recipes and even controlling home assistant devices.

3D Printing
3D Printed Parts
STL files for 3D printing will need to be oriented for print using either FDM or SLS machines.
Parts were built with PLA filament.
Original design source files may be downloaded using the links below.

Assembly
Mount Pi
Align the Raspberry Pi to the standoffs on the display with the ribbon facing the ribbon cable port.
Use the included nylon screws to fasten the Pi to the display.
Mount Fan
Align the thermal pads of the active cooler fan to the processor and press-fit the spring screws into the holes on the board.
Mount M.2 Hat+
Align the ribbon cable cut-out on the M.2 Hat+ to the display port on the Pi.
Attach the Display cable and M.2 hat cable to the ports on the Pi.
The NVMe SSD plugs into the socket at an angle and is secured with the included thumb screw.
The fan wires plug into the last three outer pins near the NVMe SSD port.
Place Case
Align the USB cutouts on the case to the Pi board and fasten to the screw holes on the display with M2.5x6mm screws.
Hinge base
The hinge can screw directly into a stud on the wall or slide into the base for easy removal.
The base part can also be adhered to a wall with one or two Command Strips.
Now you can plug in the power and set up the Pi to display what you'd like.
You can follow the Raspberry Pi guide on how to boot from the NVMe SSD below
