If I wanted to modify your custom printed parts what template would I open your STL files in (inches, millimeter ect). When I opened them in millimeter on sw I found that the customa panel bracket (0.110in) has a slot of 0.10 inches. Was this because you intended to use a flexible printing material like ninjaflex to print with so it would bend to 0.110 inches (thickness of your acrylic material)?
If you used a 12V 6A PSU do you think that would be able to power your LED lights and two fans (0.7A and .4A feed need each)? I know the lights are ~5A
I had a couple of thoughts about this, reading through this thread.
On the TAZ 6 pictures, it looks like the PSU is integrated into the electronics enclosure. I wonder if it has sufficient cooling to let it be enclosed, or if that would be a problem.
It seems like removing the RAMBO electronics from the enclosure might be good too. That should be easy to take off the side, and mount on the outside of the enclosure. You might need to add another bar to stiffen the bottom left side of the frame, but that should be about 2 minutes of CAD to design.
I’m in the process of designing an enclosure for my taz 6 and can’t decide if I should either have a hole in the side that allows the electronics enclosure to stick out, remount the enclosure on the outside of the box, or just leave it in the box and make a cooling duct. Has anyone done a taz 6 enclosure yet? and if so can we see some pics
I do want to keep the electronics box out, mainly so I can access the knob, but also for heat. was originally thinking of having a cutout to have the electronics be outside the enclosure, but I am trying to keep the enclosure simple (and cheap). Latest Idea is to use some metal storage shelving as the framework (the kind with the Key holes, that allows for quick assembly), Unfortunately the TAZ6 Y travel requires 26" for clearance, and shelving is standard in 24" depth, but I think I can make it work by offsetting the panels when they mount to the frame.
Got a good plan for the Shelving framed enclosure.
Cost is only $190 (I already had the shelf framing unit, but that would be another $90 to $100). The idea is that the polycarbonate panels will be held to the steel frame by stick on magnetic tape, this will allow for easy access to the sides for maintenance. The front and back panel are spaced out to get the full 26" of travel using a 1" aluminum square frame work (friction grip framing from Mcmaster Carr) , which is also held on by the magnets. No hinges, just pop off the panels to get to the printer. Material will be outside the enclosure, but could be put inside liek others have done.
It is also very easy to remove the control cabinet on the TAZ 6 (4 M5 bolts) and the plan is to space it out from the printer frame with longer bolts and spacers. then the side panel would have holes drilled for these spacers and the wires. might need some sealing around the wires, but otherwise pretty easy.
HELP I’m new to building this and I got all the parts I’m lost in the lack of instruction I love the box you built in just don’t get the order of assembly
PLEASE HELP
