Re: Pretty sure I found the screen
If you are ok with having the 2.2" screen in stead of a 2.4" one, and you also don't mind not having a ribbon cable, then yep, that should work.
That extra 0.2" makes more of a difference than you might think, though:

Re: Pretty sure I found the screen
after all the discussion on the screens,
the 2.2 seems to be back in stock in several places (ebay & aliexpress), i'd personally opt for the 2.4 screen (i have both and the 2.4 does really make a difference)
but if you do decide you want the 2.2,
then shop wisely i picked up 2 screens only a couple of weeks ago for less then that

How about this: https://www.amazon.com/Wrisky-240x320-S ... E2RGQ51XH9
also how did you hook it up to the pi? I couldn't figure it out. I am doing this for a project in school and a quick response would be much appriciated

Re: Pretty sure I found the screen
Couple issues with this one: It's attached to a board, which won't work with the 3d-printed parts. It'll be too big. It also has the touch screen layerm which will make it too thick (even if you did remove it from the board).Doc105 wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 10:18 amHow about this: https://www.amazon.com/Wrisky-240x320-S ...

So your options really are: wait for us to finalize the 2.4" screen stuff (we're getting close, I promise!), or grab a 2.2" one like you posted before and settle for the 2.2" size (which is still nice, but the 2.4" is noticeably bigger).
