I would hide it with (inside) a drawer and pull out when in usage, with a hinge to turn it where you wish to see the screen.

@peirof I put the Panel Due on top, with the rest of the electronics.

@mrehorstdmd interesting approach.... But the doubt arises to me, if in a corexy printer.. It is advisable to have access from the top to the print head (loading filament, jams, maintenance,...) perhaps doing it on the front and sides is difficult.
At the moment, I opt for the option of the arm, in the upper part ... Another option I've considered.... It's floating... In a housing that can be moved and fastened at various points on the printer... But, I don't see it clearly

There was a Wifi solution somewhere, this would be an option if you want to move it.
Or this here with Bluetooth: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/25840/replace-the-wire-with-bluetooth-module-hc-05 -
@joergs5 It is interesting ... but I see problems, the one who comments in the post ... how do you turn on / give power to the screen ...
For that I use the smartphone and the app...
No, I prefer the connection ... maybe in a "floating" configuration, where the screen is on a stand connected with the longest possible cable to the board ... -

Something like that crossed my mind, with trying to locate the screen reasonably but also be able to open the machine doors.
The solution I was thinking of was something like an anglepoise or gooseneck microphone stand, that will hold position but can be moved around easily.
eg. these styles, with appropriate adapters to the paneldue case

@rjenkinsgb mmm... I like that idea, it has potential... The next thing is to know if the cable would reach me, I think not... Can the longest cable be used to join duet board with due panel

@peirof It's very easy to access the XY mechanism from the front of the printer. The bottom of the electronics enclosure is about 280 mm above the Y axis guide rails. Putting the electronics at the top keeps cables to the XY and extruder carriage short, and allows easy servicing of the electronics (no crawling on the floor!).
At one time I considered making the XY/electronics as a "module" that could be dropped onto different size Z axis frames. A short Z axis frame could be used for "portability" (trade shows, etc.) and a longer one for fixed use.
I feed the filament straight down, through the electronics enclosure so there is a short, straight path to the extruder. The filament holder sits on top as in the photo. Inside the electronics enclosure there is a printed cone, the apex of which supports the center of the top cover. The wider base of the cone is on the lower top cover (the roof in the printer) with a large opening so the filament easily moves around with the extruder carriage. You can see the cone in this photo:

It's only serial data, so the cable is not ultra-critical.
If it were to be long enough so voltage drops became a concern, I'd suggest something like six core cable, arranged eg. as two ground and two power with the data wires having one of the grounds inbetween them to minimise crosstalk.

The length of the 4-way cable is not critical, however the resistance per conductor should not exceed 0.1 ohm. The SD card socket on the TFT panel will not be functional. The cables supplied by Escher3D and Duet3D are about 800mm long. There have been reports of cables up to 1500mm long being successfully used. Take care to route the cable away from motor and endstop cables. Twisting the cables may help prevent cross talk interference.
Official recommendation for PanelDue cabling. There have been cases where the Paneldue cable can pick up interference and cause issues.
