LR3 Adjustable Side Plates

prusaprinters

<p>Parametric side plates with variables to allow higher Z movement. &nbsp;Also allows wider wheelbase, in case extreme heights might have more risk of tipping in Y-Z plane.</p><p>NOTE: This is for milling tall, lightweight materials like foam! &nbsp;For tall wood or metal workpieces, it is <i>far </i>superior to build a drop-table and use the stock Y-Z plates, rather than extending the Z axis with this modification. &nbsp;The stiffness drops dramatically with excessive height, and tall workpieces (or workpieces on tall vises) will have poor performance.</p><p>More information or discussion available here: <a href="https://forum.v1engineering.com/t/lr3-adjustable-height/32764">https://forum.v1engineering.com/t/lr3-adjustable-height/32764</a></p><p>A few sizes are provided as SVG files, but the intent is that you would use the OpenSCAD model to create your own custom sizes. &nbsp;Post a comment if you can't use OpenSCAD and there is a particular size that you want.</p><p>This is a derivative of the LR3 side plates, and as such it is bound by the same CC-NC-SA license, with some additional permissions granted according to <a href="https://www.v1engineering.com/license/">https://www.v1engineering.com/license/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
