Platform for a 3d printer.

Ever since I had my printer the electronics were mounted in a small box next to the printer with a spool holder standing next to it. It was taking up way more space then needed. I wanted to place the power supply and the electronics underneath the printer and have a integrated spool holder. This is my solution. A base with a top plate that can easily be removed. Instructions Print four corner pieces, use wood for the the bottom, the sides and the top with the top a thickness of 12 mm. If you want to use the spool holder get some M8 rods (or similar size) and 6 nuts and screw them into the corner pieces at the rear. Screw a bolt on top of the rod and the Y piece on top of that. Put four nuts on a rod and put it in the Y piece to support spools. When using a fan (recommended!) print a fan holder and screw a 80mm fan to it. then make a hole where the fan just fits just above the electronics and the fan holder prevents it from falling in. Add one or two air exhaust at the front, rear or sides. to make sure air flow is possible. Put your printer on top of it all and make some hole to tyrap it in place. Some double sided tape might also be useful. Have fun.
