Update 22/05/17 Build photos added.
Notes on this build,i would hold fire until final design is complete.
I fully intend to increase/make slight tolerances to account for the 8mm rods not being entirely straight.
Also due to the design of this thing,you must ensure that it is bolted down to a very flat surface,i am encountering slight issues with binding of the sliding blocks due to my surface/desk not being entirely level.
More details,photos/videos coming shortly.
This thing is an enclosure for my minion multi AIO machine.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1133290
Axis corner blocks are also made available,been sitting on these for a while now almost forgot to upload them ,-)
X and Y axis belt holders sandwich between the top and bottom halves of the rail holder blocks for simple clamping of the GT2 timing belts.
3X stepper motors X/Y and a bowden extruder motor are enclosed within the corner block.
I got tired of having cables and connectors all over the place so decided to create this.
Electrical inputs for steppers and limit stops are catered for using aviation connectors,These are intended for use with my ramps 1.4 enclosures.
M5 SS steel threaded rods are used through the stepper enclosure to both hold it together, or to the desk/ piece of ply wood ,<)
M5 x 40mm hex head bolts are used to hold the rail clamps together.
PLEASE NOTE,is always print using ABS,i scale the models in my slicing program to 102% to compensate for any shrinkage.
After printing i rework my parts using a drill bit to clean the holes,and a sharp blade to clean the sides/cutouts of the printed part.
This gives me great results and really tight tolerances,The 102% scale once cooled is ever so slightly over my original intention,thus i rarely tolerance my designs for fitment.
More details and video/photos coming shortly.
