Lulzbot Taz 6 Palette 2 Pro Adapter Hanging Mounting Plate

thingiverse

Hi there! I recently purchased a Mosaic Manufacturing Palette Pro 2 for my Taz 6. One of the options they offer is the ability to hang the Palette off your printer. Unfortunately, the hanging plate they provide will not fit the side rails on a Taz 6. This interface adapter aims to fix that problem. First: Use this at your own risk. I accept no responsibility and disclaim any and all warranties either expressed or implied, fitness for a particular purpose, etc. If this falls off your chassis and breaks your Palette, that's on you. If it smashes into your glass build plate and breaks your printer - that's on you. If anything bad happens, you're accepting complete responsibility for it. Requirements: - The Mosaic Palette 2 Pro Hanging Mount Plate (Comes with Unit) - This Adapter, printed in ABS @ 0.33mm Layer Height, 95% Infill, Octet Fill Pattern (Tetrahedral) - 4 x M4*12mm Flat Head Cap Screw (FHCS; Tapered Head), Black Oxide - 4 x M4 Posilok Nuts (Nylon Locking Nuts), Black Oxide - 4 x M5*10mm Button Head Cap Screw (BHCS), Black Oxide - 4 x M5 Washers, Black Oxide - 4 x M5 T-Spring Nut Instructions: - Attach the Original Mosaic Hanging Plate to this adapter using M4*12mm FHCS screws and Posilok nuts. Tighten screws securely. - Slide the M5 T-Spring nuts up the two right hand outside vertical rails on your Taz 6 (2 Per Side) - Separate the M5 T-Spring nuts so that you can get at all 4 easily, even when the plate is on. Align the top 2 even spacing from the top - Hold this adapter plate over top of the top 2 T-Spring nuts. Screw in place with 2 x M5*10 BHCS screws with a washer, secure tightly. - Slide the bottom 2 T-Spring nuts into place so as to line them up to the bottom holes of this adapter plate. Screw in place with the same type of screws and washers used for the top 2 screws - Hang the Palette 2 from the original Mosaic Mount. - Voila! Note: I've included a second version of this which includes an area where you can run the cabling to the Palette 2, without having to see it from the inside frame of the Lulzbot Taz 6. If you want to use the one with the wire channel, you will need to print WITH SUPPORTS. Happy 4 color printing! * Mosaic, Mosaic Manufacturing, Palette, Palette 2, Palette 2, and all other trademarks are the properties of their respective owners.
