That is a good question and it was definitely one of my concern during the design. Currently the frame is longer by 7.4mm compared to Original Prusa LCD cover and 13.1mm longer compared to Bear LCD. The biggest problem is that we have the LCD connector and cable in very front and it blocks me to give more angle to the LCD. I might be able to reduce by 1mm but not a lot more. Do you think it would fit your rack?

This would allow to later have the motor closer to the Z bearings which is benefit in term of torsion. It is larger than the extrusion on the bed side but a bit less than the MK3S Einsy cover.
